TheWeaver Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I recently put a post on here about having a 2003 Legacy that's a fourth generation. I guess It's because it's a JDM car (I don't really know much about them). However, I've been looking at getting some aftermarket parts for it, and not really sure where to start. Any suggestions would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras06LGT Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 2003 seems a bit early for 4th gen (they are normally 05-09), but I'm not familiar with the JDM variant. If you are not really familiar with the car yet (I'm guessing you just bought it?), I would suggest doing some reading here and getting to know the common flaws in stock form and address those first. They you will have a solid base car to start modding. As far as aftermarket parts, check out the vendor forums and order from those folks, since they support us with their knowledge/expertise. I can personally vouch for FredBeanParts, Infamous Performance, Underdog (user on here), and AZP Installs. I've ordered parts from all of them, and they have been great every time.

You'll need to ask alot of those guys about the parts that you're looking to buy, especially if your car is RHD, which, I'm guessing it is. Everything from your engine to your tune may be JDM specific, which will make it hard to source and install parts and get service from the US.

ras06LGT Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah, good point, didn't think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeaver Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 So realistically, I should probably just get in touch with one of the users you listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras06LGT Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 As they are all US-based, as MrTris said it may be difficult for them to get the parts for you, depending on what you are looking for. They normal inventory will be tailored for the US market vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Are you in Japan? If so you have UP Garage which is your one stop shop for all the parts you could want. http://www.upgarage.com/index_upg.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeaver Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Lol, thanks for the website, but it happens to be in Japanese. Not really sure how to approach that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Gator Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 TheWeaver you are going to be in a constant state of learning for a long time with a rare JDM in the US car. Hope you are up for the road you have to travel and can take your coming mistakes with a grin. Some guys thrive on the challenge of a JDM car. Personally I would never do it, it's hard enough keeping up with the nuances of US cars. Can you post up pics, I'd like to see it! Nothing like a race track to find the weak points in man and machine. "Good Judgement comes from Experience.
