Sublimejoe Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Do you also have the cover for it? I purchased it from someone in Japan under the pretense it was a jdm wheel, but I'm not sure what the differences are. I did have the center piece but it disappeared with a bunch of my other parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimkelly1964 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 until yesterday it appeared that raceland coil overs were closest to my budget, then i stumbled on TEIN BASIC for $495. https://www.redline360.com/tein-coilovers-basis-z-wrx-GSS60-8USS2?gclid=Cj0KEQjwwMi7BRDGptbvwOCDj8oBEiQAIALyDDh5oh_ZhCC2Y6GsgmMMPyk-DpgdXg2DDQ2bNkDoAlYaAjkJ8P8HAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Damn, that's a really good deal! Even with the $43 for shipping it's still a great deal. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Finally got my work bench set up so I have somewhere to work, rather than sitting on the ground! http://i.imgur.com/RKcv5kPh.jpg I am so unbelievably thrilled to have a garage that I own and know that I won't have to move everything out of it.

Sublimejoe Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Put the crossmember in today! http://i.imgur.com/No372hoh.jpg Got it all bolted in today. The sway bar and tie rods don't bolt right up to the Legacy hubs. The sway bar that came with the crossmember has a different type of bolt on the end, it seems to be pressed in with a nut on one end; while the original one had a bolt that went directly through it. Does the tie rod need to be pressed in, or should it freely slide in? I measured both of them and they are almost exactly the same size. Bonus shot of my garage, which is coming along nicely http://i.imgur.com/Zu8zqsjh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Damn, I haven't updated this thread in too long! SO updates: - Tie rods don't fit, I am going to order Legacy end links and put those on. - Steering knuckle thing between column and rack didn't fit, so I combined the two: http://i.imgur.com/buEtSuNh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VRXk4mbh.jpg Dashboard which was previously thought to be unsalvageable has been brought back from the dead by my lovely wife, who has been scrubbing it with vinyl cleaner whenever I am working on the car: http://i.imgur.com/9XgeJUQh.jpg The whole dash looked like this white dry elephant foot part prior to her starting: http://i.imgur.com/PiTwuLyh.jpg Here it is now, tough to get a good photo: http://i.imgur.com/g3mim9Th.jpg http://i.imgur.com/v7DWzNAh.jpg Once she is all done cleaning it I am going to seal it with some product recommended by a detailer friend. I also removed the vents so they could be properly cleaned, they were so filthy and caked with dirt. Even inside the dash was filled with dirt. http://i.imgur.com/5ft6selh.jpg A friend of mine needed a new steering rack, so I traded him my original one, plus non-turbo crossmember for some BC coilovers. They are for 05-09 Legacy GT, so the rears aren't going to work on my car, but the fronts will work once I swap out the top hats. I am contemplating rebuilding them, but I have never done so before and there is a lot of conflicting info on the forums, so Im not quite sure yet. http://i.imgur.com/JoKhbEEh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimkelly1964 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 i'm not proud of its squeaking and rattleing, thus, probably oem 1990 : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 I need to replace a good bit of the suspension pieces: All Lower control arm bushings LCA Ball Joints Struts (or replace with coilovers) Would it make more sense to try and find a good deal on some complete front knuckles and control arms?

Sublimejoe Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Ok ok fixed it: http://i.imgur.com/OBzuiR6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nfb3Z83.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rlRkKUW.jpg I ran some of the harness today so it wasn't hanging all over the place. I also put the fuse box in. There are some wires that I need to identify still, and the drivers side headlight plug is missing and replaced with some shitty loose wires. http://i.imgur.com/AqezztX.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublimejoe Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Spent a few minutes today cleaning up my harness and routing it cleaner. Can anyone tell me what these are? http://i.imgur.com/gp35r1Il.jpg From what I understand this is so I could quickly convert the car to FWD if using a spare. Do I actually need it, or can I just remove it? http://i.imgur.com/x0WlOlzl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Aren't you going with a 5MT? If so, its useless unless you're running an auto-tragic.

Sublimejoe Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Correct, five speed swap is in and patiently waiting on a motor! So can I just remove that off the harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
