SYMS Skirts are here from JDMpartsNW! Looking great, can't wait to remove the old skirts and mount these up for good when the rear end is fixed

Speed density kit here!

Bought a minty ARC Airbox too Should be here soon

Picked up another JDM wood vent and radio bezel

managed to find a new lid for my jdm console piece that was cigarette burnt

Also some very special brand new SYMS Skirts may be on the way

Test fitted my RFRB and Eye lids

Welp Saturday I was on my way to pick up the parts to retrofit my headlights from a friend and I got rear-ended

before this.. Got a JDM plate

Retro style neoprene cargo mat from a BH5

bunch of other parts, including a RFRB grille

and got to meet up Scott from the Facebook pages in his Turbo swapped wagon along with several other friends

sooo been buying more stupid stuff I don't need..

-US option Dual power socket

-BH5 retro touring wagon cargo mat (hoping I can get it cut down and resewed to look factory)

-Carbon fiber mirror caps

-Collection of JDM wood trim parts (cluster piece I've never even seen before )

-RFRB Grille (came up cheap, a friend needed cash.)

-Legit JDM Plate

-another JDM BG5 parts catalog, but this one is way bigger than my hyper rev

-all the remaining parts for my headlight retrofit (FX-R 3.0 3", 5500K 35w bulbs, relay harness, and ballast adapters)

My tuner I planned to use also recommended I go Speed density (something I didn't personally think I needed, but not second-guessing his word) so bought his kit over a week ago and haven't heard back. so not sure where I'm going from here but not happy with the speed of emails being returned and now in a hurry to order the other parts for my turbo upgrade with this going down.

Finally got the JDM mirrors in, better shot of the tint too!

Test fitted my rain guards

Header day! Didn't ever pay attention, I didn't realize the JDM 205 doesn't have the "oil cooler, that's actually an oil heater" sweet! Planned on ditching it anyways so that's easier for me

side by side (OEM missing headshields for removal)

all buttoned up

Yes, you lose the rumble. still sounds like a Boxer at below 5k, and above that, it sounds mean! it drives nicer, blip downshifts don't stumble and feels overall happier and so smooth closer to redline. overall I'm so happy with it, best thing I've done engine wise so far

going in for tint!

35% Llumar Window tint all around

Picked up an OEM heatshield, Coolant lines to coolant tank on intake off a poor 04 FXT at the junkyard Also picked up a Bugeye cluster and pigtails too to test fit in my car before shelling out for a V7 STI cluster

MOAR PARTSSS

So up at night thinking to myself looking into the JDM heavens and an idea hit me. I want to do a cluster swap but a jdm bg5 cluster isn't an easy option due to electrical differences in the 98/99 models. and the GD Ver7 STI is my fav but leaves funky gaps on the side :/ well my friend has this cluster gauge pod that covers up all the gauges on the side.. Issue is ZOLVED and fixes my Wideband and oil pressure gauge in my vents. So pretty soon I will be buying a JDM Ver7 STI Non DCCD cluster from G-Rom cluster flashing, bought the cluster shorud so i'm set other then the cluster and pig tails!

JDMAFPARTS hooked up me a HyperRev BG5 Book and some NIB SYMS Goodies for the wagon.

I and my friends have been wondering how these eBay solid endcap rads are since there are no options for aftermarket rads in USDM 2G's other than these. if it holds up a while I'll have a nipple welded into it for my turbo coolant tank lines and bosses for a factory WRX Hard pipe so all my coolant stuff is as OEM as I can get! and for $110 shipped worth a shot

Found out the USDM folding mirror ajusters and JDM will swap back and forth so that means I'll have power folding mirrors soon once I finish getting the other side done

Also got a Turbosmart 40mm Compgate and Grimmspeed EWG bracket on the way!

GC8 Fender coolant Tank fits like a glove, holes are already there in the car

Merry Christmas-happy hoildays everyone! Parents got me a Cobb Short throw and Tomei FPR adapter for xmas

Then I found a good deal on a lightly used HKS 2 bolt ELH the other day <3 should be here towards the end of the week

Found a great deal on some ID1050X Injectors and Grimmspeed EBCS. Only big ticket item really left is the header. rest is 200-250 stuff remaining

Nothing to really update, picked up an Aeromotive FPR with a gauge from my friend $100, Also not pictured I snagged up a Matching alloy dead pedal. Will likely start sorting out parts for a power upgrade over winter

Bought this Cobb SF intake for $45 shipped, just need to buy the silicone joiner part now

Some Carbon fiber hood sturts I picked up off Yahoo, Maybe Prova missing stickers?

Prova 1.3 Bar cap

SYMS/ZeroSports JDM Grounding kit? no idea won it cheap off Yahoo as well. The car's idling smoother now

MY15+ Red faced STI Knob

Other goodies will be getting installed soon, I'll upload pics soon

Here's a picture of the gauges as requested

Bought this shift boot and for the money it fits bang on for legacy's with a 6MT swap

Adjusted the clutch pedal today, I've had a feeling it wasn't fully engaging making it hard to shift gears sometimes: update it's feeling better, still think I could back the threaded rod out a little more but it's promising, pedal feels much tighter.

Figured I should make a little exhaust clip, I'll make a better one soon. once these two care packages drop I'll do a video and some pics

Beatrush belt guard!

Test fitting some eye lids along with my grille (both need paint)

Acquired some more parts, just waiting on shipping on some stuff. have some stuff chilling in NZ and Japan to see if I can combine anything else before it starts its journey! should have one care package this week with some engine dress up goodies

Finally got the door moldings and badge on! Ended up finding out some bad news with the wing so the extensions pieces are waiting till it's all buttoned up and on for good.

Me and a few of my friends went to the bigger/biggest Subaru meet of the year in Cincinnati.

me and Calder (from Lexington, Red OB) ended up placing top 20 peoples choice

installed my Cusco Rear sway bar tonight, along with lower miles C links till I can come up with some upgraded end links

Sad update, JDM emergency after 9 months let me know I wouldn't be receiving the interior swap I was supposed to have in 2-3 months. Since I was starting to expecting this I started looking into other options. The only other BG5 GT-B Interior for sale I knew of was from the place I had bad luck with when I bought my Mirrors, Liberal wing, etc.. So I decided not to put my self thru that hassle again. I considered GC8 STI seats but they we're all beat for anything less then 1k-$800, GD seats sat way too high, and Recaros would have been cool but I was going to have 1K+ tied up in doing that by the time I got the ones I wanted and in the pattren I liked. @fwa2500 had some JDM BH5 GT-B front seats (in amazing shape) for sale for a while so just locked in a deal with him, just need to pick them up from him.

Managed to acquire some other goodies on the way.. one of them is BG5 GTB door fabrics (the colors appear to match the BH5 GT-B seats) so now I just need to get ahold of a rear seat at some point.

-JDM Center Console Shift trim

-Beatrush Belt cover

-Cool Nuts Coolant Hoses

-eyelids

-JDM Door fabric

-JDM Alloy oil Filler Neck

-JDM Alloy Rocker cover vents

-JDM Light Up Keyring

-JDM BH5 GT-B Front Seats
