Blackgtbeauty's 01 BE - 8/9/10

[blackgtbeauty]

Sooooooo heRE's the real deal thread:

I've washed it since and peeled the tint of the front passenger window.

[Superu264]

Are those scratches all over the dash (mainly the glovebox) or just dirt?

[Wiscon_Mark]

who's the real deal thread?

[blackgtbeauty]

who's the real deal thread?

Fixed Marky Mark.

And that's just dirt.

[Perdue]

Just curious. How much did it cost you for the totaled BE? If the silver 03 I had driven didn't have a sunroof, I would've bought it and wouldn't be messing with this stupid truck right now...rebuilding one might be an option though.

[Wiscon_Mark]

:lol:

Okay, I'll be serious now: What's your first step, and have you found part sources for the exterior stuff that's missing?

[blackgtbeauty]

It was a good find I think.

The car, most parts to fix, control arms, tie rod, and delivery for $3150.

Our first steps are to get the parts out if it, remove the pass. fender, take off a few mouldings, and get the Baja hood on and have that as a guide to pieceing together the front, and start stripping the fron pass. quarter to get ready to weld in the new subframe piece.

[Perdue]

So even after buying a welder and painting the car, you'll still be a good deal cheaper than if you bought one used...assuming you know how to do body and frame work. Interesting idea, but I'm not sure that I'd have the guts to try it. Can't wait to see some progress.

[blackgtbeauty]

Fortunately I don't have to buy any tools at all. All I have to get is materials. My father used to do autobody and still dabbles in it, so this will be a good learning experience. I plan on taking plenty a picture thoughout the process.

And I can't wait to see progress either :grin:

The nice thing about doing up a car like this is I can alter things just how I want, for instance the Baja hood and 03-04 bumper cover, I need both anyways, so I might as well upgrade a little. Same with debadging the rear. Not to mention all of this will be painted at once so I'll have the best chance of it all color mathcing very nicely. I have been thinking as to how I might alter the color a little, but I also liek the stock black w/ red pearl.

[Superu264]

Can't wait to see some progress.

+1

I'm looking forward to following this beautification process. :happy1:

[Wiscon_Mark]

You should do deep sapphire pearl. It's an excellent color of blue :smile:

[Huffer]

I vote gunmetal or CGM.

Anyway, I still think the frame looks bent. I'd have the frame checked out by a pro before slapping on a hood and making things try to line up.

[blackgtbeauty]

Minor, semi-exciting update:

Got the Baja hood today, hell of a deal, $200 Brand new w/ scoop, never been painted.

I got a cheap intake of a fellow Nasioc... fellow :-? . I think I'm going to use a Rust Oleum Hammered black on it, it's just silver now.

I have two more things on the way, one is a new headlight finally, and another i will keep to myself, something you won't see often, at least not over here :twisted:

Hopefully sunday we'll pull it into the garage and have at it, been somewhat busy, so it hasn't seen much love :-( And I promise more pics to make this a little more interesting!

Later guys,

Rob

[Reason]

Rob, you will be know as "Rob the cock tease" because thats all you do damn it. What do you have coming over here boy?!?!

[blackgtbeauty]

Time will tell all...

*Edit* Whadaminute... Talk about cocktease Mr. Man...

What about when you used to play the guessing games on here when you got "stuff"? Hrmmmmmmmm? :grin:

[Reason]

Well played sir, nm then :smile:

[blackgtbeauty]

Update, Here are the parts that I have (besides the Baja hood, which is in my father's garage):

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g25/integra92red/IMG_2921.jpg

Roger suggested I get the front strut bar, saying it was the best way I could spend my money :grin:

JDM tails are on their way thanks to Jkirk, and the paint booth my father and I are making is almost completed, we just need to install the exhaust fan and make a filter panel for the dividing wall. Then I can bring '01 in and start working on it.

[Reason]

Cool stuff, shit one of the cars I'm looking needs painting, I'll pull my in after yours :wink:

...so you think you can get ahead of me in mods with a baja hood do you?........lets see who get get their's on first :twisted: ......btw what are those orange things?

http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/andivic/41447.JPG

[Reason]

Those orange things are rear splitters of a sort. They goin on the rear bumper on the bottom corners.

[blackgtbeauty]

...so you think you can get ahead of me in mods with a baja hood do you?........lets see who get get their's on first :twisted: ......btw what are those orange things?

Oh it's on like donkey kong. Not the hood yet, the challage :grin:

Has to be PAINTED too, not just ON :lol:

Shanes right orange things are spats, they go under the rear bumper (thanks to Andy):

I thought I recognized them from somewhere. I see they found a new home.....interested to see how they look painted on your car.

[badbasser98]

...so you think you can get ahead of me in mods with a baja hood do you?
You should see my parts pile... I had to build shelves in the basement to store them :twisted:

I am going to start sending them off to paint shortly I think :smile:

Screw the Chinese Zodiak, this is the year of the BE :twisted:

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a pile of parts.

[Wiscon_Mark]

My pile is building too :twisted:

[Reason]

Funny thing about that I had a small pile too. I just got something from Japan land for a BD. Now.....if I could only find one.

[blackgtbeauty]

Quick update, I have pics, but on other computer :-(

The hoods on and painted underneath, swapped pad...

New bumper beam is on, found no frame damage, hood lined up perfectly, 03-04 cover ready to go on...

Fixed and pulled the front damage, ready to be welded in place, looks like a whole car again :grin: Going to start working on the rear quarter damage this weekend, then prep the car for painting! I can't wait!

I'm going with an Alfa Romeo black, leaving out the stock red metallic, and going with the black Rota P45F's w/ the red stripe, hope to order those next week.

I'm going to start running the power wires for the amp and sub next, I'll take a short movie and more pics tonight, and upload them if i can.

Later SL-i peeps, looking forward to a meet soon!

Rob

[OutbackGT]

Lookin' good! What strut tower bar is that?

[02LGT]

I think it's the Genome Sti or something...but im not sure. But i would like to know where you got it if it fits on a BE chasis. I am currently looking for one. Thanks

[deadlydave]

that is some nice equipment, can't wait to see how it all turns out. ROTM material?

[blackgtbeauty]

Yes, I finally have some picture goodness to share folks. The fist few were taken about a month and a half ago, and the others I took today. It was painted on Thurs. and we buffed it yesterday. Enjoy!

[

[deadlydave]

WOW, lookin' sharp! Nice Baja hood too.

[Reason]

One you get those JDM tails and headlights in it will look sweet. Tint and a nice set of rims, are you coming to the meet this year Rob? You might not go home with your car :lol:

[badbasser98]

whadda want for it? :lol:

[d1giPhux]

damn.. lookin good man! get more pics!

[blackgtbeauty]

Just a quick update (sorry, no pics!)

The BE is on the road, and is now my daily driver for the summer till I put her away, I must say I love it, rides beautifully, handle great, ice cold AC, mmmmm.

I do have to say I hate heat shields, almost every one rattles and sounds like a POS.

Anyways, I'll take some pics after the first wax in a while, it's on a regimen of 3M hand glaze in the meantime.

Yeah the heatshields suck :) That's why I removed mine.

[HFSDevil]

What year Baja hood do you have to get for to fit?

Also is it a direct bolt on or do you have to make some adjustments?

[badbasser98]

03-04 will fit no issues or adjustments. Just paint it and bolt it on :smile:

[blackgtbeauty]

[Reason]

JDM windshield, JDM cigarette lighter and a tank of JDM air to put in his tires.

[BE-Fresh]

B4 badges, intake, lightend pulley, some sort of exhaust components, or a short shifter...

[SilentRacer]

Is the lip banged up in the front? What are those ripples? Very interested.

[Reason]

Nice stuff, I never understood why people dig the red JDM hazard switch. I rather have the black one than a big dookie red button in the middle of my dash.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Colormatch the lip, and it'll look sexy!

[blackgtbeauty]

Is the lip banged up in the front? What are those ripples? Very interested.

It is slightly damaged, but it'll be work for this winter, i still need to mod the rear bumper for the spats and that should make it well matched w/ the huge-normus GT sideskirts on there now.

As for the hazard, I just wanted somethjing a little different. I don't think most of the people out there will notice the lip or spats or anything either anyways. No shane, it doesn't compare to the headrest springs, but it'll do :grin:

I will say with the back debadged and the jdm grille, i surprisingly have a lot of people ask me "What kind of car is that?" :roll: :grin:

[deadlydave]

I was thinking go the other way--silver side skirts and rear, silver front lip. Either way, a cool set of stuff! :grin:

Don't be hatin' on the Head rest springs lol. :roll: I have a set on mine.

[Reason]

Hey those springs were 6 years ago, That button is now lol

Just little things, Roger will not like one of them however.

Eh?

Again, Eh?

[blackgtbeauty]

Wow, sorry guys, I didn't see any of those posts before the pics.

JDM air... That's what I breathe mother-f****r :grin:

I remember a thread a while where it was talked about how worthless a front strut bar was without REALLY pushing the car to it's limits and Roger was a very active member in it, that's all.

I don't owe money on it however, so it won't be 100% hated :grin:

Hah. Oh for sure, I'm not a huge fan of the strut brace, however the older chassis' do need as much help as they can - as the cars get older, the strut brace might help a bit.

I have one on all my cars, but I refuse to spend more than $25 on one. :lol:

I like the no car payment thing too. ;)

[peugoby]

Wow I'm loving that front lip! It will look really good color matched.

The strut bar is also really nice. I bet thats a really rare piece on a US car.

Real sharp BE. :twisted:

Damn, that's nice.
Still fond of the old one though. It was definately one of the sweetest cars that's ever rocked this tri state area. First time I saw it I almost drove my GT wagon into the freakin gas pumps I was so distracted.
Did I read that you're bored with this car, Rob???
Damn, man...

[_RM_]

I cannot deny that is one hot BE...

looks good. How much did that throw off your speedo?

[blackgtbeauty]

i'm guessing at least 5 mph.

When the stock 215/45-18 RE92's are finished, i'll replace them with 225/40-18's like I had on my spec.B's.

I only had them on for a hour or so, but from what I drove, the 45's rode quite nice actually.

The swapped out bumper gives this car a great look.

[legacyB4RSK]

Will it be much trouble getting the WRX 4pot/2pot installed, what colour, red or black/grey. I want to do the same thing on my BE, preferably the black/grey calipers. Do you have any pics of the set. Looks like I have some competition

Mods so far (All cosmetic)

If by wing you mean the little S401 lip one, you sir are a dirty bastard.

I will e-punch you in the face and start a forum fight with you here and now if you do not give it to me.

Yes for free :grin:

The brakes are the red ones.

That's sweet man, I can't wait to see another sleek tasteful JDM-slathered BE!

[legacyB4RSK]

Sorry you'll have to save the e-punch for another time, it's not the s401 kind, the standard wing just happens to come with the trunk. That way I have an authentic trunk lid with real badging. The GT cannot be rebadged as easily as the L so I figured it would be easier just to swap the trunk lid altogether.

Great work on your car so far!!



Cheers

[blackgtbeauty]

Installed the suspension and the JDM tails today, sorry for the crappy dirty pic, I'll take much better pics of everything once the weather is better.

I really couldn't be happier with the Bilsteins, The ride is phenomenal. Feeling the need for a sway bar or two now.

Is there a way to get those Bilsteins in without getting a drop in the car. I wanted to get those Bilsteins as well but did not want any drop.


Cheers

[Huffer]

^^ sure. Don't use lowering springs.

[legacyB4RSK]

Thanks

The reason I was asking was someone had done it for their BH and the rear dropped and the front rose.

Just got three new things in the mail today. Good things :twisted:

Also just dropped the suby off at fathers, should come out of the booth quite different next week.

I want your friends wheels! would he be interested in trading for Gold JDM V7's? You car is friggin sweet! If I wasn't such a cheapass, I would have gone the BBK route as well...the baja has considerable bulk.

[rougeben83]

Rob, ask Paul at ECS if they have my old 2.5" catback...I don't know what they did to it, but the exhaust shop they took my car too redid my whole system, DP-back...

I'd hate to see it just get thrown into the scrap for recycling...

Yeah I have to go down there anyways too, I left the rear brembo's sitting on the stairs :grin:

I like everything in this thread. :grin:

[blackgtbeauty]

The "hacking" was very minimal, still working on the wiring a bit though, have a small issue.

I decided not the go with the lip, possibly looking to sell with rear spats, pm me if anyone is interested.

[legacyB4RSK]

Did the lip not fit, i Know if you don't have the JDM bumper you'd be missing the proper holes at the bottom to mount the lip. What kind of wiring problems. I wonder if those lights are the same as the Rev A lights as far as wiring is concerned.

[deadlydave]

very nice lights man. Can't wait to see it all put together again.

umm....why didn't you just get one that wasn't in an accident. With all the repairs and new parts you might have saved a little. Not knocking the car, it's coming along great, just seems like a lot of cash is involved.

[blackgtbeauty]

i have less than $5k into the car (that's painted and in complete stock form w/ a few things, not include recent activities...).

The windshield cracked this past winter.

The parts listed in the previous post are just getting repainted (which I only pay for materials), the trunk had a little scuff, there was a ding in two of the doors, we had a problem with the paint sticking to the front bumper cover, the only new parts that were painted is the grille and foglight surrounds.

I guess I don't see how I'd save any money buying a non-wrecked one. Maybe if I was going to resell it...

I could have bought an STi, but where's the fun in that? (if you say under the hood I'll punch you in the liver).

Picking up some BBS'ESSSEEEESESSS next week for winter time, actually the same ones I borrowed to get the car home from ECS. I'll just have to source some center caps and I think I'm going to use them as the black wheel testers.

yeah we'll see, that why i'm trying the black out on these instead of the Tarmac's. If I don't like it I'm going to try a dark grey I think.

I originally wanted to put the car up this winter and drive my BD, but that needs work, needs to be registered, etc...

Hahahaha yeah those coors were left over from the halloween party last weekend.

I actually did the wheels here (he's working on something now), i brought them in the house to keep them warm and scuffed them up. Then I set up two saw horses with two 2x4's accross them with an electric radiator heater directly under the wheel, bring one out at a time as I painted them with smooth black hammerite.

I'll take better pics maybe today.

[blackgtbeauty]

Might as well do an update :grin:

So for the last and final time the sale fell through with the BE, the kid got approved for a few K shy of what I was asking, so it is here to stay. Most of the plans that I had before still remain, and after giving myself a break from racking my brain with ideas some have changed for the better. So here are some of the things I'm tentatively doing, suggestions and idea are welcome.

- I am definitely happy with the outcome of the black BBS's so I am most likely going to get the Tarmac's done in black as well w/ a red STi center cap decal instead of the Rota one.

- I plan on having the Brembo' s powder coated black w/ black reflective brembo decals, and just getting new stock rear ones coated as well.

- Get the STi 5 spd short shifter w/ WC Lathe Werks Copolymer WRX Sphere w/ custom boot.

- Installing my JBL amp and sub, unsure of which aftermarket headunit to with, has to be Double Din, or single Din If I go with Din gauge pod.

- Front and Rear sway bars.

I'll post up more things as I think of them which I'm always doing.

Also, did you just get a respray or what? How much did that end up costing you?

Nice nice, thats the DNX5120 or something close to that? Almost got one of those myself but decided on a 6-disc WRX headunit instead.

Now I wish I had gotten that :wink: How do you like it though? I think the in-dash NAV's look great opposed to ones you'd stick on the windsheild.

And whats your set-up for the sub, amp wise?

[blackgtbeauty]

JBL 24**D 300w rms and kenwood wtfbbq 300w rms 4ohm amp. The headunit is the ddx512, no nav, but crutchfield has refurb Kenwood so it was 359 shippied with subaru harness. The amp is refurb as well and the have the seperate nav box refurb too. so far i really like it, changing the headunit color and having a volume knob were two must haves and this fit the bill nicely. The hideaway sirius box is on back but that's on the way too. install is a breeze and we ran the wires for my 360 too :twisted: .

+1 for Crutchfield BTW, they are fantastic.

The car is dropped as low as it's going to be unless I ever go with coil-overs which is unlikely.

I had rear brembo's, but sold them because I didn't want to pay the ridiculous price for brackets, pads, and rotors.

I wish I could tint the front windows but it's quite illegal up here it VT. I also wish I didn't have a green license plate either. I do have a real japanese one that I could put on for some better pictures sometime.

I suppose it's fairly obvious what I have done to the car, but for clarity: Removed rear spoiler and E-tune badge from grille, vanity plate, powder coated all calipers, rotors, wheels, license plate frames, and intake, painted the keyhole on trunk lid, and new Falken's for the 18's. I'll take pics of the stereo and intake sometime.

We'll see, either I'm done with the car or I'm going all out with it. I have to think about it. I like that it's a sleeper, but it's a slow one and I would like to see it boosted. Time will tell.

Wow, that is looking incredibly good! And yeah, some boost would go down a treat. Keep an eye out, there was a BH front cut not long ago on ebay for REAL cheap, would have made the car epic.

The car is dropped as low as it's going to be unless I ever go with coil-overs which is unlikely.

I had rear brembo's, but sold them because I didn't want to pay the ridiculous price for brackets, pads, and rotors.

I wish I could tint the front windows but it's quite illegal up here it VT. I also wish I didn't have a green license plate either. I do have a real japanese one that I could put on for some better pictures sometime.

I suppose it's fairly obvious what I have done to the car, but for clarity: Removed rear spoiler and E-tune badge from grille, vanity plate, powder coated all calipers, rotors, wheels, license plate frames, and intake, painted the keyhole on trunk lid, and new Falken's for the 18's. I'll take pics of the stereo and intake sometime.

We'll see, either I'm done with the car or I'm going all out with it. I have to think about it. I like that it's a sleeper, but it's a slow one and I would like to see it boosted. Time will tell.



OH NOES!
move to NY :grin:

I want those plates, i heard that they would consider custom plates in Norway but they dropped that idea.

[KAG]

Did you just weld the holes shut where the spoiler was or did you actually do a trunk swap? Either way, looks great.

I'll be in the same boat as you soon with the 03/04 bumper, Baja hood, wingless trunk and JDM tails. Don't worry, I'm too poor now to try to find a set of Rev.D headlights :wink:

As stated, I'd love to see this car boosted...

spotless legacy those brakes look hot :smt007

And you thought this thing was going the way of the beater status... Well, that is what I told everyone :twisted:

Nope, I still have the mod bug for the beast. The headlights are getting re installed and I just ordered some B4 17's for it. A little rust is forming on the passenger quarter panel so that'll be taken care of and it'll get a full detail in the next month for fresh pics.

Also new vanity plate on the way, time to retire BLAKOUT. Not striving for rediculous, just one of the cleanest BE's around, that's all :grin:

Good Isht Rob. Can't wait to see the finished results. You're doing both cars? Interested, as I could use this on my Yuppie Mobile. :grin:

[Airgne]

why do you alwasy have the biggest pics of anyone on the forum?

[TGX4776]

because he is using photo bucket.

Use the resize tool in photo bucket to drop your image size down. after that I'd suggest using
picasa before you upload to save space in your Photobucket account
