Matty2Hotty 2002 Legacy... Why Not

[Matty2Hotty]

Well guess i got suckered into buying another, on the cheap side so I guess we will see what I can do with her to make her happy from over the years of abuse and neglect on her. Let the modding begin...

[Matty2Hotty]

Got me über rare headlights...... Never will guess!
Got a SYMS rear wing... Liberal is overpriced.
Got a Hipposleek Works Bell grill coming....
More to come.....

[Dead91silvia]

I'll trade you a SYMS wing for that Liberal... ;)

And... pics or it didnt happen. :P

[Matty2Hotty]

Actually going to go with the SYMS instead... It's only $84, Liberal is overpriced.

[Matty2Hotty]

Sneak peak on some goodies coming...

[foohfooh]

Oooh didn't know 3rd gen morrettes existed?

[Yamazaki]

Oooh didn't know 3rd gen morrettes existed?
They didn't. Those are CIBIE.

[yaya]

Nice grill


;)

[nepbug]

Those Cibies look nice, are they the D-type or A-C type fitment?

[Matty2Hotty]

Yeah morette never made them for BE/BH as far as I know, only Cibie which was a hefty $2600 new :shock:
These ones are Type A-C I got.

Thanks YAYA, stole your picture for reference, don't know anyone else with one besides you.

[Yamazaki]

CIBIE never made D-type headlights. Even in that picture, the headlights are A~C type but the hood, bumper, and grille are D-type. That's probably why they had to tuck the lights back under the hood.

[yaya]

That's going to be an interesting front end combo. Curious to see it come together.

I've thought about changing up my grill recently, but I'd still keep my Hippo Sleek around.

Yeah there is a handful of different grills out there for sure... I might spruce up and add the Subaru emblem to the center of the hippo, we will see how it all turns out.

[Matty2Hotty]

Finished off my Cyber Monday orders for the car for now...
New Tein Coilovers
New 50w LED H3 fog light bulbs
New GIALLA Spoiler
New Front Lip

[Matty2Hotty]

Diggin on keeping them all black or might color match, haven't decided on what color to paint the car yet.... Maybe WRB (keep it Blue) :smt014

[Matty2Hotty]

Hey its my car in your photo for the SYMS wing and you just asked to buy my Zero/Sports front lip... Cute

Yeah had to steal some pictures before the ones arrived from UK I bought... Got a decent size collection of parts. Haven't found any zero sports lips yet for sale... Might just go new since it's only $280.

[Matty2Hotty]

Got the EZ30 motor swap in her dropped in finally

[98legwag]

I like where this is going. H6 ALL THE THINGS!

[Muse]

Holy smokes, this is nuts! Is it staying auto like all other H6's, or are you actually going to be rowing the gears yourself?

[98legwag]

Not all H6s are autos. All USDM H6s are. Once again SoA fails.

[Muse]

True, there were manual H6s, but I thought all 3rd-gens H6s were auto

[98legwag]

I think you are right on that one.

[Dead91silvia]

So Matt, is it also getting a manual?

[Matty2Hotty]

Yeah it will be getting a manual once I source all the parts

[Matty2Hotty]

Got the front end finished with new oem axles, whiteline ball joints & tie rod ends, Kartboy endlinks, and tein coilovers. Slowly coming along...

Tomorrow plans: rear coilovers, rear endlinks, all new fluids, exhaust installing, and firing her up.

[Red85Celica]

Really expected this to be flat black, few JDM goodies and relisted for $6,000.

Haha yeah unfortunately wife wants a new house and moving in a few months so I can't just go buy and sell anymore anytime soon. I will be holding onto this one for some time. Might test some plasti dip colors instead of flat black on this one.

Update though: got her fired up, drove around, fixed/cleaned the icav giving choppy idle engine check light, installed new alternator and amg battery. Still have to adjust/raise front coilovers up some.

[foohfooh]

Man, so I gotta ask... why do you hate paint so much lol?

[Yamazaki]

And I have to ask..... where are all the pictures of the car? We get only the one in the first post?

[Dead91silvia]

I agree with Yamazaki, more pics!

[98legwag]

So the H6 is in and running? Pics or it didn't happen.

Ah a beautiful mixture of shiny and rusty.

[Matty2Hotty]

Yeah Yeah I will get more picture this week. Have the front end torn down, side skirts and doors swapping out so its a little distraught with things missing and doors off. Debating on making an intake for her from the stock filter box to the intake manifold since it's not a 2.5, not sure if the "torque" box is benefiting on a 3.0
Video of it yesterday running.

[Dead91silvia]

Door swapping?

[Matty2Hotty]

Door swapping?

Of course I had the idea of just using outback door trim, but the entire doors were only $15each more ($60 each) so i went that route with nice black leather door panels too. Yes going with a full Outback exterior trim all around now.

[Dead91silvia]

Ah, got it. I was hoping you weren't trying JDM doors. They are useless for USDM cars.

[Matty2Hotty]

Yeah I read the door gaps are totally different, thank goodness I didn't go that route.

[Matty2Hotty]

Well a little update, got the outback trim on, passenger fender is dented pretty good that throws headlight out of alignment and the paint is garbage on the front bumper that I will need to locate a outback pass fender and front bumper. Getting an idea on what it might look before paint is all I was trying to accomplish since I spent $25 a body panel isn't much. I know I will have to pay probably top dollar for a fender and bumper.

[Muse]

I will need to locate a outback pass fender and front bumper.

You need a different Outback bumper cover, you mean, or that you need the crash bar? If you need the whole thing, may I suggest the '03/'04 style, as it's just that little bit more aggressive looking, with the notched lower center section.

[Matty2Hotty]

Just one thing after another... Got my JDM 21mm rear sway bar installed, Kartboy endlinks (C Shaped) are the wrong ones I had in storage so need to sell or trade someone, found a few rear control arm bushings shot and clunking. Ordered some more whiteline goodies I guess for the rear end now should be here next week.

[Matty2Hotty]

Added a nice 1000yen SYMS front Tower bar off a wrecked BE5

Where do you buy all your jdm parts from?

[Matty2Hotty]

Where do you buy all your jdm parts from?

Usually I browse used Japan part sites then see something good I have a friend went to school with over there pick them up for me.

[Matty2Hotty]

Thanks guys... Got her in tonight. Will run her tomorrow to work to make sure it everything working as it should be.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2016/03/7F13148B82C24959821A421CDA63A918_zps6q3e-1.jpg

Added JDM momo airbag to the wood interior

1318

[Matty2Hotty]

Was looking for a front bumper setup that stands out you don't see every day... Couldn't find anything good nor any decent price getting any JDM shipped over due to size.
Thinking I'm just going to open up my Outback front bumper, something different.

1386

[Dead91silvia]

There is some JDM stuff local...

[Matty2Hotty]

Added a intake charge pipe expecting a louder intake and surprised sounded same as stock airbox... Waiting on my Kakimoto Intake Chamber to arrive, also got my Hella Horns wired in with relay harness.

1401

[foohfooh]

Engine bay is looking fierce. And a little cramped. Still holding out for a pic of the whole car ;)

[Matty2Hotty]

Yeah I will get photos of her once I get the body fully finished and painted. Been dealing with little minor things that turned into bigger nightmare. Almost done with all suspension parts. Latest BS cussing up a storm was the rear trailer arms.

Awesome build thread, Subscribed!

[Matty2Hotty]

Messing around with my intake, need to redo the piping once I get a little more time...
