  1. i have a bunch of the parts from a 02 be sedan from your picture, downside is you'd need to confirm they would all fit on the bp/bl and shipping is going to be a bit of money from the wieght.
  2. yeah inconel is stupid expenive to procure and manufacture. thats a hens tooth part for sure.

    Sold

    also unlocking phone rotation when taking the pictures does it... figured that out when I some left handed coworkers that would always send me job site pictures upsidedown, even the phone cameras are default for righties.
  4. Small update, been to busy with work and life to do any big parts installs lately. But got a complete set of JDM tails and garnish in really good shape! USDM OEM Tails. Differenece in the color between the tails. All installed, Legacy garnish complete, just need to find a really good condition front OEM option lip for the bumper and the outside will be done.
  5. Small update, been collecting other parts for some major work in the summer here when i get my whole garage back. Changed all the gear oil at the 3k mile oil change, diff oil and magnet cleared up, however the transmission still has flakes and chunkies in the oil, meaning the spare transmission I have will probably have to go in sooner rather than later. Cold morning starts I can hear the input shaft bearing whinning as well... this transmission is need of some major TLC. Transmission plug and clean off. Due to the flakes of metal stuck to it that look like bearing race hard facing, ill probably change the gear oil again next oil change interval. Diff looked much better so will probably just let it go normal change interval. Had a fun little sidewall puncture and blow out from ruts on the freeway here in LA that pop up in the rain, that was a fun day. lucky nothing else was damaged from the rut. Also found out due to the massive amount of rain we got this winter that California got that the front drip lines were plugged and flodding back through the ac air inlet into the cab, as well as the condensor drain line being plugged up. Should have known since the moonroof lines were also plugged when I got the car. Used compressed air to blow it out, but i really should take the cowl and fenders off to clean out all the gunk thats in there. The great state of California sent me notice that for reg renewal that I would need to get smog again. Took the car into smog only to have the tech tell me the pvc intake tube I kept on the car was a "modified airbox". Took the oportunity to make a few junkyard tips to get the OE intake snorkle parts as I no longer had them from the 02 Chasis. the best is when the cars are in the stall they actully listed them in online. Only downside is the parts almost always get scattered. Found what I was looking for, lucky to find a early equipment non rubber boot intake hose which is awesome cause I won't have to worry about it rotting out. Precleanup. All cleaned up and installed. OEM intake. crazy how much quiter inside the car it is with the factory parts for the intake. Im going to leave them on for a few tanks and see if they make any change to the milage I get with the car. Car wiating on me to get the motivation for the parts that have been piling up on my workbench.
  6. might be intrested in this, semi local, my 5 speed input bearing has started to hum noticably on cold starts. whats the rpm sit at when cruising at 75/80 mph with the 4.44's?
  7. comment with the picture of the pioneer unit in the car.
  8. Yup thats the parts list i currently ahve on the car, the head unit has been in 4 cars now i think? started in my 89 crown vic in college, my brothers toyota for a while, and then the last two legacy's ive had. its getting up there in age but still has great sound and usb input from the phone that works. at somepoint ill upgrade to a newer unit with apple play. part number for the deck i have is a Pioneer double din deck, custom pigtail made from oem/spare parts laying around (p/n AVH-P14000DVD ) at 190k
  9. I have a aftermarket pioneer headunit in my car works just fine. Used a adapter plug to make it all work no problem. dont want to clog this one up but if you go look at my thread you can see what it looks like in the wood grain dash. Wiring diagrams for the radio for 04 attached. 1. WIRING SYSTEM WO Machintosh.pdf
  10. I had a gummed up IACV in the past, i replaced it and had some stuttering issues. The PCV valve was sticking open as it was also gummed up which lead to the grimmy IACV i had. Cleaned it out and my problem went away. YMMV but a quick check will tell you if thats the problem.
  11. Have you checked the outs on the head unit to isolate the problem to the unit? What about continuity to each of the speakers to confirm the wiring to the speakers is good? I have an 01 single disk head unit with a CD and tape deck that I could part with if you are looking to stay with OEM parts. the other option is to go aftermarket.
  12. Yup, bumper skin, lights and bonnet wilt will all need to change.
  13. Had a sedan in this color, it would get dirty fast but when it was clean it looked so good. hope to see some more updates on this one.
  14. Which bumper front end do you have? and which one are you looking for? you have both rev c and rev d posted as pictures. the Rev A-C front hood/lights/bumper dont line up with the Rev D bumpers the grill/headlight lines are different.
  15. Its been a while, not major updates really to the car. Have a few parts in the garage that will eventually go on the car when I get the motivation. Transmission still doesnt like to shift from 2-3 or 4-3 while on it hard in the canyons so that will eventually get changed to the spare. But still taking it out as much as I can. Azusa Canyon and other mountain pass runs this summer after work were plentiful. Just now coming up on a much needed fluids change at 3k miles. Went to the Eibach Import night they hosted back in August. Also attended a few other local cars n coffee events. Car gets thumbs up's but never draws a crowd which I don't mind at all. For a old car still cleans up pretty damn well. Had a random issue with a misfire for a bit, found the cause... replaced the plug wire and coil pack, need to go around and check all the grounds. Also need to finish stripping this thing for all the space so its not just taking up space. Lots of stuff that needs to get removed and put up in the attic.
  16. https://sl-i.net/FORUM/showthread.php?8692-DIY-LED-s-for-BE-BH-dash-interior-!!!!!!!! scroll down a bit but he shows and goes through replacing the dash bulbs.
  17. Great looking car for someone! looks like youve taken care of it, GLWS!.
  18. So I learned the lesson in highschool with a hot cammed VW engine (it bent a pushrod), if you do have work done at a shop, be sure to check the work. while YMMV best practice is to check the lash after getting parts back from maching. More information on the valve setting from the FSM.
  19. Well last of the parts from the 02 made its way over. finished up making brackets for the 5 panel wink mirror to replace the sun shades and the factory flip mirror. The old brackets i made the first go around I didnt like how they looked and didnt push the mirror far enough forward. little CAD (cardboard) and started here with some scrap alum I had. All cleaned up. I dont have a wire wheel on had so flapper disk on the ol death wheel to clean them up. All the nessisary hardware. added some small spacers to the backside so i dont mark the headliner where the bracket mounts up. Removed the sun shades, as this was the very top of the line for '01 it had dual lighted vanity mirrors! the pinicle of luxury. tucked the harness away into the shell... hope if I have to i can pull that back out someday. Installed, need to still adjust the mirror fully a bit so I can see the drivers side lane from it but has a great view of everything else.
  20. Finally got some more free time to installing some more parts that I've been sitting on for a while. Bought all new bulbs for the jdm parts as no clue how old the bulbs are for the headlamps/fogs and dont want them just randomly going out or dimming on me. Hella Yellow H3 bulbs for the Fogs, These were a pain to install as the whole assembly is behind stuff I didnt want to remove... Installed them throught the fog shroud trim. Night shot against my garage door, so far like how they look at night. This is the first time I've had HID headlamps in anything. These were way expensive. Went with the Pillips Units. replaced the Highbeams with Silvania h1's nothing crazy there. New bulb on the left old bulb on the right, both old bulbs had signs of age on them when they came out. Night shot against the garage door, note the cut off being in the incorrect direction. at some point ill bake the lights and black out the cut off so I dont blind oncoming traffic, but not today. Also got some cheap matte black plate frames, matches the black trim and car. Look pretty good on the car. Front plate is a bit off... thanks too the JDM from plate spacing for nuts is wider. Plate frame helps hid the obvious fact that I had to redrill the front to make it fit. I plan to get vanity plates this summer, and when they come in ill make a bracket so that I dont have to do this to that plate.
