Do-Luck Floor Brace

Just checking in. Dad has been busy with work to help me finish up installing all the trim but still hasn't stopped me from driving it and having a good time. Started working on getting the old doubled sided tape off the Rainguards. one is almost done Cusco F/R Sway Bars Here's the new grill I bought, gonna look sweet restored and painted! Thanks, IG@JDMPartsNW

Thanks, It's been alot of work to get here

Do-Luck Floor brace and Cusco Sway bars on the way

Every time I think I found a perfect one something happens, mine now has the screw tabs intact (Rare) but The hazard light screws busted when I took it apart. I went thru 3 to find one this good

Managed to get the Rear lip and part of the wing on, need to finish up the rest hopefully this week DrivenFab Made me a beast Stainless Steel Mid-pipe for Apexi Megaphone dunk Axleback I got from JDMPartsNW. It's a perfect exhaust. nice Subtle tone at idle/cruise and nice sound when you get into it. plus it has a huge tip that fits the AeroMajic skirt perfect

New Drivers side Wheel bearing (Rear's were done last year, Passenger side front will be done soon when I have a little more time Garage Dog House Roof brace Not quite done yet, but here's some good stuff to share in the meantime

Restored ARC Scoop New Grille and Yellow Mirror glass from JDMPartsNW Legit driveway paint job, and it's pretty dang good. Working fog lights More updates end of the weekend. I have alot more to share

Some good news! Managed to find #2 after a lot of back and forth. it's a long story, Probably will get into detail about it soon. but for now, let's stay positive. The rest of my rare wing! Mines H Brace (already installed it) Also got JDM Power Folding / Heated Mirrors (some shipping damage, should be able to fix though) Bought this amazing Apexi Megaphone Dunk BG5 Exhaust off JDMpartsNW (He has other JDM Axlebacks coming soon) TiC Shifter Linkage bushings came in, doing this along with the Group N Mount soon repainted the Bumper Beam with Por15 and figured out the wiring was bad with my fog lights so I stripped the wiring from spare JDM fog lights and we're all good now. Manged to find a Black Auto dimming mirror

Robbed an Outback limited of some goodies AeroMajic Skirt has new fiberglass tabs made up! Kinda a bad thing to add dumb weight but most of the factory stuff just fell out when I removed the headliner Antenna delete She's coming along https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2018/06/shA6pQI-1.jpg[/i

along as you get a 2004 STI Steering rack (only 2004) it's bolt in if you get the L&E GC to GD Steering Column Link I'd recommend also getting WL Poly Rack Bushings at the same time That alone is a great upgrade

For sure, I've seen some on NASIOC in the past. Might be worth taking a look on there

Looks amazing! I've always loved the RFRB Wing

Picked up supplies to start work on the body Also found out my seats have gotten mold on the way over in the shipping container so the seller is trying to fix it but we'll see how that goes. I've ordered a 2004 STI Steering rack, and Cusco Carbon Fiber Rear Strut Brace and a 5,000mi old 2017 VF48 Turbo. Seriously dumb clean. I just got a Grimmspeed Belt guard, GroupN 6MT Mount, and Tomei Blue Elbow in the mail today.

I was telling a friend how I wanted an OEM 6MT Shift knob one day and he brought me one at the car meet this week... Yess Then My Other Car meet friend gave me a Steal on this Cobb XLE BPV (Old Verison you can do 50/50 On) Bought an IAG AOS (Sadly, I didn't pay attention it was a comp. so now I need the street conversion) Not sure where I can fit this at so it'll be a bit till it's installed. it's huge for my small bay Picked up this Leather E-Brake from a 98-02 Forester at the junkyard, and picked up some coin deletes to remove the old Automatic buttons

Cleaned up the wiring under the dash, finally got the part in to install my Defi Boost Gauge, Also got my New WRX Pedals installed

Rainguards came in, cracked in one spot but might try to plastic weld them. If they don't turn out well they will get painted. Random shot

one of my orders came in.. I'm in love. I decided I'm going to run the ARC Hood scoop extender as well. It all ties together so well, with the JDM Bumper. (I had to kill the quality on these to upload, My internet has been slow this week ) https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2018/03/EUdSOx8-1.jpg[/img

Well, Saturday On my way to a meet my wagon started idling rough, threw a CEL, and my AFR's went wack at idle, and wouldn't make any boost. After freaking out, Found out my Evap Nipple Block off blew off, Time to get a hold of an actul screw in plug to prevent that. Meet Picture After bugging the seller of part of my stuff coming in for over a month, He's finally shipping my Bumper, Rainguards, rear lip. My Interior parts got pushed back from 2 months to 4 months. so hopefully soon on all this stuff also Placed an order for the two WRX Pedals, and the upper Pivot bushings OEM (non Poly since I don't know if I want to stay with the long throw or go short soon)

Looking good! I love how much smaller the newer AC Pumps are haha

did a Redneck paint job on the clear markers and ran the wiring for them, I'll be wiring them up this week Picked up a Power outlet from an Outback, sadly unlike my Gen4 It was not prewired. so I need to run wiring for it soon. It's installed and I have a pigtail, so I need to run the wires and I'm set.

Updates! I sold my Ver8 STI Seats today, Guy with the dumb clean WRB, 5MT, Coupe with 50K miles made the trek down from Chicago the day before Chrismas Eve. Seat Delete bro Took a stab at fixing the Door Pod, I'll do the drivers side next. It's not perfect, I made the hole just a hair too big on the one edge but I eyeballed it so it's pretty good for that, I'll get another one at UP&P and try again So you might be asking, What's next for the interior? I have talked with JDM Emergency and I've got Front, Rear and door Cards coming from a GT-B. I'm grabbing some crappy seats off one of my friends to use as it'll be about 2 months till I see them.

Nothing huge to update! Just been driving it and enjoying it, I'm planning to start cleaning up the interior soon. Here's a To-Do List for winter/early spring -Look into new seats, the Ver8 STI Seats are too high for my liking and I want to be able to use the wagon for AutoX and the Dragstrip. (No Helmet would fit right now with the short roof + Sunroof) -Fix HVAC Cable Clip -Mod USDM 97-99 Door pods to work with Door grabs -New Shift boot -New OEM Shift knob (keeping the Cobb, just want to try something new) -Figure out a better system to mount my gauges, Might go to a GD Clock pod style thing. Just hate to cut up my Perfect dashboard -Find Defi Cable for boost gauge -Working on picking up a JDM rear strut tower brace and few others brace parts Spring/next year. -New Muffler, That isn't a Crappy eBay one. -New Front Wheel Bearings (Front, Drivers side is Bad) -Possibly Dial in a little bit of camber for grip and possibly to solve rubbing issues -HKS EL Header -Window Tint +Bodywork + Foglights -consider cutting upfront bar for a Front mount intercooler. I have an EJ253 Long Runner Intake available to me and two friends and my dad are handy at fab work so It could happen.

Thanks, man! Means a lot, The 205AVCS is a Hidden gem IMO it's such a good value and it has good engine management. Yes! I bought it as an N/A EJ25D 5 Speed Wagon and have pretty much changed every bit of the car haha and there's way more planned. Right now It's the Stock TD04. But I'm planning for something much bigger in a little while after I get some other stuff taken care of.
