Akord Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Nice. I'd be inclined to use the jdm shell as more parts will be a direct fit. Most of the parts I get from www.auctions.yahoo.co.jp hey ya good advice, now after taking a better look at the JDM wagon, I think I might try to get the car back on the road again. everything is so MINT inside (only 48,000 kms) and I can't believe its 15+ years old. only bad compression in one cylinder and I'm not sure what other problems are lurking. I'm going to start my own thread soon. Glad to know some knowledgeable wagon enthusiasts! Please also let me know if you have any cool JDM parts for sale bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25rsti Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What's new with this beast. I wanna see it this summer. Never got to see any of your subies in person before. Gotta see this one before you sell it and start a new chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaya20 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Nothing has happened for a couple months, just collecting parts and planning some things. Car hasn't moved since before Thanksgiving... To do list: -Install bracing (under chassis bracing, roof braces) -Black out interior (only missing seat belt pieces) -Battery relocation -Sub/amp install -5x114/R180 conversion (have most of the parts lined up and working with someone on rear hub solution) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seishowtime Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 hows the interior coming along? did you find a solution for the drivers side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaya20 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 hows the interior coming along? did you find a solution for the drivers side? Slow. Car sat most of the winter until recently. I've collected a few things (black visors and door weatherstripping), still looking for S-Edition front seat belts. Planning to make a new switch plate for the windows and door locks. Not 100% sure on where it will be located just yet. Leaning towards near the fuse cover on the left of the steering column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Interior updates: Baja Radio/HVAC trim (no flip out cupholder) http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll301/rj_yeamans/BH5/IMAG0185_zpstpg8a6xv.jpg what year are the trim and hvac controls from? did they take much to make fit? i kinda like that look.

yaya20 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 The hvac controls are factory from this car (01 Legacy L). The trim was from an 04 Baja if I recall correctly, it is painted so it all matches my other trim though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seishowtime Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What kind of control arms are you using up front? Aluminum Legacy GT spec b? When I did my swap, they shop put a wrx widetrack up front and it is too wide and my tires are tearing up my fenders. I need another solution to keep things tighter. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaya20 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 JDM BH5 GTB control arms. I think you could use GD wagon or GC arms as well. They have a narrower track than GD sedans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to see it go, what you moving onto next? Not going to be parting anything other than a couple things I haven't installed yet. This is a cool wagon. How much? Haven't decided yet, the parts are worth more than the car lol. Probably around $4500 OBRO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaya20 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 I will make an official for sale post soon with what's included, pictures, etc. For now, I'm asking $4250 with the BBS RGIIs and everything to finish the 5x114 conversion (minus rear rotors).
