2013-2014: I bought he car with the Q300, tint, Eibach Lowering Springs, and window visors. I mainly drove the car as is from the day I bought the car. I tried to retrofit a WRX lip onto the car with some success, and it survived a year or so. Afterwards I just bought a legacy lip for the car.

 

 

2014-2015: I was working for a Rally Innovations prototyping some parts for the Legacy. Some of those are in production, and others not. This included the light bar as well as a 3 piece splitter.

 

 

2015-2016: After taking the car to the track, I felt the need to tighten up the suspension. I did not want to sacrifice daily driving and wanted something that can handle spirited driving and DD abuse. I ended up getting RSR Sports i coilovers. During this time I added the STI Rear Sway Bar, Perrin Shift Bushing, Boomba Shift Adapter Plate.

 

 

 

I've been telling myself I should make a blog or post of my progress as I continue to build my Legacy. Finally with all the quarantine and stuff, what better time than now to finally sit down and write some stuff down. Hope you enjoy!

It's good to see the forum still surviving. I'm not fully done yet.. but fixing my custom bumper.

 

 

 

And for anyone wondering what the "custom" bumper is (I'm sure you've seen me posting around)

 

Some glitched Legacy. Also got a "new" Thule Atlantis

The booty good stuff

Ooh I can finally join on time

I've been having intermittent issues with my reverse switch; it flickers when I throw it into reverse, but when I actually let the clutch engage, the switch turns on. Hasn't bugged me too much but it is a little annoying. Look forward to hearing your results. May change mine after!

Is the grill wrapped, painted, or something else?

 

It's wrapped in matte black

Figured I'd show a little sneak peak of DRL + Switchback conversion on the Anzos

 

Getting spotted at a local meet. Miss the OEM bumper...

Swapped my bumper back to the OE one. Man.. I kind of miss this thing. But I LOVE the other bumper. Just need to touch up some scratches and install the new lip

 

Late to the winter swap.. but going up to the snow next week

Haven't posted in here in awhile..

 

Opinions on a vanity plate? I'm thinking "BM NEIN" or "2LGT5ME"

I have the fogs as well waiting for paint! Not in a hurry cause im loving the fogless look! But STI and Legacy bumper split in half, then welded back together

Put a bumper on

Favorite photo to date

I've been driving without a pad on the clutch pedal since I bought the car. Finally put something on. Not difficult, but more tedious than I thought.

 

I'll have to replace the accelerator pedal to match ay some point, since my 2010 just has the black plastic one.

 

If you shave down the rear if the plastic pedal, you can fit the gas pedal cover easily. It's much easier if you remove the gas pedal assembly so you can see where to sand down (with a small semi circular file)

Got my BMW F80 trunk lip on!

Haven't posted In a long time.

It's been awhile since I have posted in here. Here's some photos of my..mainly stock car that my friend took.

Idk if this is still valid, but RSR Sports-I had always had coilovers for our BM9 & BR9. I installed a set for BR9 (wagon) with no issues. I believe the shocks are a little stiffer than OEM for the rear due to the heavier weight on the rears (for wagon application). But this may benefit the sedans to promote more oversteer.

(How they sit from factory settings)

I usually wish I got the dark blue LGT
