Got some goodies installed today, Getting a alignment setup tomorrow

Some random photos too

 

So Far I've put about 600-700 Miles on the swap

Picked up some door Grabs, But sadly I'm missing the brackets. so it'll be awhile till I get them mounted

Beautiful wagon so far, loving the black interior with wood trim. Was the face lift swap for the dash pretty straightforward?

 

Thanks so much! I know, I need to locate the backseat and cargo mat now so It can be complete, Yes 100% Plug n play along as you have all the parts. Radio was the only part of the facelift swap that wasn't but along as you have pigtails and soldering iron you can make that happen fairly easily like I did.

 

 

I sadly didn't get the 08-09 Inner Glovebox, if you have the chance to get that if you swap, do it. It'll make changing Cabin Air filters much easier

plug is the subwoofer .

 

Thanks! I actually just figured that out when I did my radio AUX harness. I found a website that told me what every pin of the i85 plug was on the back of the radio and that confirmed the Subwoofer to me. Now to find a Subwoofer with a black trim piece

Made a Custom Harness to use my 07-09 Radio Aux Jack in my 06

 

HK Speakers and Tweeters Installed

Ditched this stuff today

Can't figure out what this plug is for, any ideas?

 

Cargo walls installed! Plus I have the hooks for the Cargo nets and Power Socket now

I Picked up some Black Outback Cargo Walls, and Rear hatch fabric, Black Rear Seat Belts, and Rear Power Outlet. Sadly the Spare Tire cover Was missing but I did get the side parts. Getting closer to my fully Black Cabin

Here's some Picture's I've forgotten to upload

JDM Alloy Trailing arms

25mm FSB

05+ LGT Front Brake kit (316mm)

HK Speaker system

JDM Trailing arms and Upper Arms just came in today.

 

 

Updated and fixed all my pictures but one post I can't find the pictures for

Picked up a GT/XT/3.0R Trunk Trim Plate and Cargo net thing for the side.

Also bought SWP (37J) Paint over the weekend and prepping my Mirrors for paint. Hopefully, my JDM Spats are in soon.

 

Nice build, keep up the good work! Can't see the pics on the first page, but page 2 and 3 work fine.

 

Thanks! Sadly Photobucket ruined everything and I haven't gone thru and switched everything to Imgur. I will very soon

 

Like we discussed on sli, cool build !

 

Thanks so much:)

Won some Spec B Trailing arms for 3,400 Yen this morning.

 

My Friend sent me some Cheap Aero Spats so I guess that's happening soon too haha, More stuff I'm getting that requires paint the more i'm considering a Rear bumper and Facelift Garnish

 

Took a few pictures this week too

Small Update!

I have Aquirred 05-09 Legacy GT Front Calipers, Brackets, and Very low miles Front Pads for Cheap. Also picked up Rear EBC Yellow Pads for my 2.5i Brakes for a price I couldn't refuse. Later on I'll upgrade to the Vented 2.5GT Rear Setup but for now, this should be a solid improvement over my stock setup.

 

I need to Order Some Blank Rotors soon and paint for the Front Brakes. I'm considering doing Stoptech SS Lines up front while I'm at it.

 

I'll be installing my Billstein's once my Saggy butt spacers arrive. After that, I plan to get some Sway bars and possibly Endlinks.

Well my 1999 Legacy GT Couldn't make it to the meet due to Last min issue, So I took the Daily and well... I wasn't expecting this! I would have washed it better then a 15 min wash if I knew it stood at all chance haha. Super stoked

 

 

So I was thinking Today, I knew the wagon looked familiar... I'm Tyler the one with the White Wagon at the meet on Saturday. Awesome to see another wagon in Cincy. Let alone a GT 5MT.

 

It was nice to meet you, Maybe one of these days we can get a legacy meet setup:)

Another Update! Tonight I Installed a 05-07 2.5GT 5EAT Sport Shift steering wheel and it plugs right in, and just works like it should. Awesome on Subaru to use the same Clock Spring and wiring setup on 2.5i's vs 2.5GT's

Found a guy on Craiglist parting out a 2008 Legacy 2.5i Limited, So I went and got some more parts

08-09 Wood Trim

Door cards, the Driver's side isn't great but I can find a replacement later

Heated Seat switch and Extended arm rest (Isn't perfect, but in better shape then my normal rest)

Picked up some Hankook Ventus V2 Concepts H457 215/45R17XL's for $395 Mounted

Some Junkyard finds! I'll be making a Crown Vic Honeycomb grille soon

Installed minus the covers

Plasti dipped till I get other stuff together to paint

All done!

 

Quick side update! The Steering feels Incredible after the linkage and Rack bushings

Got my Bushings and STI Steering Knuckle/U-Joint installed today. Wasn't too bad of a job, Would recommend lifting the car on stands instead of ramps Like I did. You need the rack to move a little bit. Ended up having my Mom just move the Steering wheel ever so slightly to get the bolt holes to line up after that it was smooth sailing. I haven't taken it on a good drive but just down the street and in the driveway I can already feel the steering is nice and more Responsive/More feedback. I love it.

 

My Front Sway bar Bushings don't look too good and my End-links feel looser than they should be, I'll be doing the Tribeca FSB Soon. Moog or Fancy Solid Frontend links?

Picked the Struts, Springs and top hats off of Cincy05LGT

 

-Bilstein HD Struts

-Front Spec B Top hats

I was reading this, and I'm like Yeahhhh White wagon build. then I see a Red Wagon Build. and I'm like Yeahhhh. Then It just all dies with a lone Civic.

 

RIP.

 

Partout?

I say Grab a soldering Iron and try to reflow them Contacts, It's worth a shot before spending money at the dealer getting it figured out.
