What did you use to seal it?

Whats the "how to" for that? I'm dying to do this once finals are done...

Let us know how that goes! It would be nice to see how you did yours. That way I have an idea what i'm doing for mine. Looking good though! I need to find the double L grille for mine too. I think they look soo much better. Also looks like you have a lot of time on your hands for this. Wish I had that kind of time

Are you talking about the rubber mats or the carpet mats? If the rubber ones, where did you find them?

Rather annoying that another set shows up shortly after I bought mine and for alot cheaper too... ಠ_ಠ

Nice point out for the write up! I know I’m gunna need that tutorial here soon too!

Yes! I just got a white RFRB wing strait from the source about the same time as you. I wonder if it came from the same supplier...

Hey.. I just got one of those too... And GT rims will go a long way..

It finally came in the mail! Strait from Japan.. (Also a snoobaru sticker from Whisky and Whisky) Its an RFRB wing! I only mocked it up for now. I'm gunna have to find some time to install it. I did look and the rear third brake light in the car now has the same connector as the new wing so wiring should be a breeze! Also picked up some GT rims and tires this weekend. It looks soooooooooooo much better with these Its finally coming together! Like I said, I gotta find time to install the wing then I think the next thing to do is to get a window tint. Im thinking 35% in the rear then the front two windows 45%. Also apparently the one cam seal is leaking again so I guess I have to fix that again.... yayyy

I couldn't find anywhere else sensible to put it either. In my Dakota its right behind my drivers seat because there is a cab wall there but this was the best place for the legacy. I remembered seeing it way back when they were messing with 2sexy and Wasaabi and I decided to go that route. Took maybe 20 mins and the aluminum bar stock cost like $7 for a 3' stick. The aluminum was pretty easy to work with too, just easily bend it wherever you want it to go.

Don't worry, I'm smarter than the average bear. It was all the local Uhaul had so I had to make due. I had a little Easter father/son project and installed a maad fire extinguisher. Think it came out pretty good. Also, stay tuned for some goodies to come...

I know they’re saying a few things but check your sunroof drains. This is what happened to me and I just fixed it a few weeks ago. The passenger footwell front and rear were soaked but the headliner and dash were dry. The sunroof drain hose had popped off. It’s pretty easy to check. Just peel up the corner of the headliner after you remove some trim and such and you’ll see it. Apparently it’s common for the hose to pop off the barbed end. Push the hose back on and throw a zip tie on it for good measure and you should be good to go. Also, take the pass. seat out and peel up the carpet and let it dry thoroughly once the leak is found. That might help the musty. If the smell is still around after everything is dry, apparently ozium is the sh*t from what I've always heard.

Well.. I needed struts anyway... I guess some JDM BG5 Bilsteins would work I came across these on Craigslist. Got them for an AMAZING deal; I couldn't be happier. The deal came with struts obviously but also JDM BG5 OE springs, H&R springs for a GC (P/N 29472 VA & 29472 HA) and '04 STI springs. He also threw in some wrx brake calipers as a friendly gesture. I got around to installing them and this is the result. I wasn't sure what springs I wanted so I just started with the H&R's. So here is the stock height. Here is the H&R's About perfect in the front, way too low in the rear. Especially with the hitch I found on CL and installed... It dropped the whole car 2.5" on every corner. So I threw in the OE BG5 springs. Now it's about perfect in the rear... a bit high in the front for me I think. These OE springs dropped the front about 1" from USDM factory and about 1/2" drop in the rear. I'm debating dropping the front somehow (about 1/2"-1") yet but I think I'm gunna leave it like this for now. If I plan on turboing this in the future I recon the extra weight of the turbo and such will pull the ride height down a touch. Also I think the rims I plan on putting on it would make everything look better. Plus this will be more comfortable in the meantime for sure. Im open to thoughts/opinions though. Finally! Enough for now.. but no rest for the wicked. It needs tires.. BAD. Turns out they have dry rot cracks radially in the tire. I mean... i was gunna get better rims for it but I guess they need to be acquired sooner... So if anyone knows where to find some '10-'14 WRX rims... Im looking. Also looking for some GT snowflakes.

Decided to capture both my '99s I thought everything should be done and ready to go.. But no... It was still puking oil from somewhere.. The timing cover looked like it was dripping oil so new cam and crank seals solved that problem. My list has now expanded/updated to: Antenna doesn't go all the way down RR Rear sway bar mount is rusted and broken RR Brake caliper decided to lock up Cruize still INOP It was found that rear strut seats (the struts themselves) was pretty rusted away For the rear sway bar mounts I found some later model reinforced ones off a 2005 impreza 2.5rs. I performed my Hydrolysis treatment, painted them and installed them. Next was the antenna and cruize. Ordered a new antenna mast and that was set to jet. Then the cruize turned out to be a split hose on the vacuum pump and a nylon bump stop thing on the clutch. I fired up the atlas lathe in the basement and made my own new nylon bump stop thing. Whilst doing all the other fixes I restored the headlights; way better now. Everything was finally together enough to become a daily. Let the Mods begin!

Time for me to start my own build thread! I bought my legacy a few months ago and had to travel a few states over to acquire her. She's a '99 legacy L 30th anniversary 2.2L 5 speed (BK4) two owner wagon with 123k miles. Not too bad of a start. She needed some work but I couldn't find something that clean for that price locally. Figures though that two weeks later I see a gt wagon exactly like what I was looking for to start with... First thing to do was a complete stage zero. Fix everything and undo anything shotty. Luckily, this was a grandpa car owned by a secret agent man (it actually was, the guy was in counter intelligence) and the guy I bought it off of only owned it for 1000 miles so almost everything was mint and original. So the list when I bought it: Large exhaust leak Needs clutch Leaks oil Brakes are mushy AF Left turn signal doesn't operate properly No timing belt history Window switches occasionally INOP Cruize control INOP So on to tow it home. (Yes I dropped the driveshaft) When I got it home I bled the brakes and that solved the mushy brake pedal. Also did all new fluids everywhere and new air filter. Then got on the leaking exhaust. The pipes just before the second cat had cracked at the welds. Welded it all up and was good to go. Finally I picked up new window switches and key fabs a the local Pull-a-Part. Soon after I tackled the oil leak and clutch in the same go. Pulled the motor, new clutch, the metal updated separator plate, valve cover gaskets, lash the valves, PCV valve, and spark plugs for good measure.Also inspected the timing belt and it had clearly been done recently.. very recently. I plan on this motor only lasting me about a year before a turbo find its way in and I'm very confident the belt will last me till then. So I stab the motor back in and she doesn't run right. Its misfiring, and just not behaving or driveable. See ‘99 EJ2.2 P0340 code; misfires above idle. Finally figured out that the leaking (disconnected) sunroof drain caused all the connectors in the passenger footwell to not be happy. Cleaned all those and it was good to go.
