subikid90 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 what number sandpaper did you use? still up in the air for red or black id love to do red, just dont know if my red is gonna match the color of my hood and bumper.... we shall see whats next for your car? I started with 220 and roughed it up then went over it with 500. Then painted it with 10 light coats. I have to pull it off again and sand it once more than put the final few coats on. The rest of the LED's on the interior is next. Then painting the rims black and CAI. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'm making my own CIA with the ebay kit for now. We get too much snow in the winter I don't want to put a cone in my fender. http://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=11765&hilit=ebay+CAI I know a lot of people use the Cosmo one and the Weapon-R. Cosmo has a better filter than the Weapon-R does, or so I have heard. I get the bulbs for my gauges and HVAC unit from superbrightleds.com. They are awesome and not to expensive for the LED's. For the rest of the LED's, like for the window switch I just bough a pack of 50 T1 3mm LED's of ebay for $4 shipped. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98LGTLover Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 The humming sound is so damn annoying! That is the reason I went back to the stock air filter box. When the cone air filter was on there I couldn't stand next to my car and talk to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98LGTLover Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 White! I like it! I would do the switches if I bought that car also. Headgaskets though? They didn't say anything about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 If they aren't I will only offer 2k and do them myself. They are easy haha and only cost $250 to do all of the work.

subikid90 Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 So that car was more than trashed and the owner used a little rattle can to cover up something (rust?). Still keeping my eyes open for a white 5sp 2nd gen though. Until then will these fit our cars? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-Universal-Side-MArker-Subaru-Impreza-Legacy-WRX-SVX-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5637cea84fQQitemZ370303477839QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories How much work is the wiring? I would thing just tap into the turn signals and run the wire. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
