05 Legacy BP5 GT Limited - 07 JDM BP5 Legacy Tuned By STI conversion project


Recommended Posts

Additionally what would be a JDM Conversion build with out the JDM Front and Rear end. Specifically I'm going to use the REV D-F version. Added the STI Rubber Skirt lip to protect the STI LIP. Complete with JDM OEM Fenders and all of the part needed for a direct bolt on fitment. Also was able to score the JDM Engine undertray as well. I have a spare if anyone wants. Matching JDM Spec B fender liners + using the JDM Legacy REV D-F Grill with the blacked out trim. Hard to find it was.

I went for the Optional JDM Spec B side skirts that have a little aero flare built into it. Unfortunately I can't equip the front aero spats on these as they are different than the stock side skirts. These add a little lower profile to the side skirt.

Now I thought the Mach V rear wing was an original piece but I believe that it was copied from the original LIBERAL version. Ordered this from Japan. Allows you to also plug and play the brake light from your stock roof spoiler.

Don't ask how I was able to find these from Japan but I did and I can tell you they feel amazing when you sit in them. Yes they are going into the car. Yes they come with side airbags. Yes Adan at @AQ Motorsports knows how to make them work with swapping in the Weight detection system for the passenger side and it's going to be awesome.

You are correct about the Mach V wing being a replica of the Liberal. Once you have all the parts together and painted on your wagon I might have to make a trip down to SoCal put our wagons next to each other. I just put a JDM rear onto mine as well to complete the look. I may have missed it earlier but what is the final color that you are going to go with?

I was just thinking the way that the trim is. It will just end rather than being carried through with the rest for the pieces.

 

You are correct, so I was able to get the 08-09 glove box, driver side lower dash panel and trim, also the steering cover and come other pieces to make sure it all matches!

 

For now I am running 2008 JDM BP5 Spec B Bilsteins with OEM JDM Black Springs.

Front L - 20310AG430

A few other things came in from Japan today:

 

1. I sourced a 06-08 JDM Tuned By STI Arm Rest which is Black Alcantara with white stitching.

Part Number - 92114AG130JC

 

2. The 06-08 JDM Tuned By STI Shift Boot which comes with a Dark grey almost black ring trim. I'm debating whether to use the silver trim or the dark one.

Part Number - 92161AG032

3. The JDM BP5 rear cargo mat is awesome compared to our USDM. It's got a nice touch of herringbone type pattern with durable carpet material.

I have a direct source from Japan for all OEM JDM Parts and I use a JDM subaru Catalogue for all part numbers. Only thing that is impossible to get is most S402 parts. I also found a good EDM supplier in Germany and also Sweden. Edited by valleylegacy

Checked in with Adan at @AQ MOTORSPORTS and he is about 65% finished with the swap. Lots of the old parts needed to be removed due to age and rust but it car is looking nice...well at least underneath it is.

 

Here are some pics of the current status.

Aluminum trailing arms are in with the aluminum lateral control arms + rear aluminum differential support and the rear differential for the 6MT is in.

Currently if anyone needs a set:

 

I have extra front spec b aluminum control arms

rear aluminum trailing arms + aluminum lateral links. Used 27.5K miles send me a PM.

 

i found some s402 parts. bumper and some others. bumper is out of my range, for now. i think it was around $1,600. also the front 6-pot bb. $2,900, which is crazy.
