BagRidersJohn Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 After 18 months of work, I finally got my specB back on the road! A brief overview of the work I did entirely by myself (well, my wife held a lot of stuff at various points, lol) in my home workshop: - Full color change to Subaru M1Y "Crimson Red Metallic" (glass out, door jambs, inside doors, under hood/trunk, etc) - JDM front and rear end (Rev A-C front w/honeycomb grille and JDM HID headlamps) - Fiberglass wide body kit - Air Suspension from Bag Riders - Built custom 3 piece wheels to fit body kit (18x10.5 -12 / +0) - Rotiform LHR (they were on my WRX wagon before) - Full undercarriage restoration (stripped to bare metal, resprayed epoxy + undercoat) - Complete overhaul of front and rear suspension, every nut, bolt and bracket replaced, all aluminum parts vapor blasted, all new bushings - Complete audio overhaul (total rewire w/14awg, JDM double din, two amps) - Brand new front and rear glass Exterior: Interior: Some time ago I swapped the blue interior to the 08-09 black interior and upholstered all the upper trim myself with black ultrasuede. Black sunvisors are out of a 15+ WRX. Map/Dome lights from a GR STi and I had an upholstery shop make me new shifter and parking brake boots with nappa leather and grey stitching to match the specB seat stitching. I also replaced the very tired steering wheel with a brand new OEM wheel about 6 years ago when I bought the car. Can't forget an undercarriage shot: The car is a 2007 model year and has just shy of 200K miles on it. Over the winter I intend to rebuild the engine and refresh the steering rack and front crossmember, along with any other areas in the front clip that would benefit from some TLC.

silverspecb Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hi, new member. Here is my 2006 spec.B; I have #494/500 and am curious if there's anyone here with a higher number! Essentially bone stock and it will stay that way for the remainder of its life. Only the driving experience has been modified. Modification list: 18x7.5 Enkei STI Rims FA500 Coilovers w/ HyperCo springs (10k Front, 9k Rear)* kartboy short throw shifter Cusco front+rear sway bar* whiteline rear toe arms* IAG AOS v3 IAG Cyl 4 Cooling mod Nameless Performance catback exhuast (with facelift axle back so the tips dont fit my bumper perfectly ) JDM Double DIN conversion 10" Subwoofer All speakers have been upgraded (prev owner, no idea the brand) * - I'm aware not all modification's are displayed in the photos. The underbody photos are nearing two years old and I have not bothered to take any updated ones. The Toe arms+sway bars+coilovers where all installed ~4 months ago. Here she is: Undercarriage: Other specB's and I: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
