Looks good, what do you have done to it?

[AJM]

Looks good, what do you have done to it?

Looks like crank pulley, CAI, cross drilled and slotted rotors, Jdm tails.... :lol:

[peugoby]

looks nice! Did you buy it w/ all the mods or do them yourself? World Rally Blue looks pretty sweet on a BD.

[HotBoxer]

Its got Injen CAI
OBX adjustable camber bolts
KYB GR-2 Struts w/ Eibach lowering springs
Brembo slotted and drilled rotors
Hawk HPS pads
full Borla stainless exhaust w/ hi-flow cat
JDM tails and projectors
15% tint
ADR 17" wheels
crank pulley has been removed due to exessive squealing


The only mods Ive done are the tails and the tint. I have plans to match the skirts and add a JDM grill a la Kraziken and some JDM fogs and it will be mostly done on the outside w/ the exception of wheels.

The thing that keeps bothering me is the one small front wiper blade...

[Reason]

Yes the single blade needs to go. Painting the GT trim to match would be a nice touch. Are your door jams silver like your engine bay?

[Huffer]

I like it a LOT.

Get a bigger wiper blade, and I'd be very happy with it.

Maybe hit some of the stuff in the engine bay with the anti-rust grinder & flat black paint.

[2.5GT]

I dont recall any BD come stock that color? or do they?

very nice nontheless :eek:

[Huffer]

BTW... that dude is a freakn' MONSTER!

[HotBoxer]

yes the door jambs are painted to match. when i do the swap ill be painting the engine bay to match as well. The single wiper is actually gone now as of about 30 min ago.

Huffer FYI: Im 6'8" 225

[Huffer]

How the hell do you fit inside the car? The seats must be leaned WAAAY BACK!

[deadlydave]

you take the sliding rails out and bolt the seat right to the floor. :grin:

[Reason]

He took the drivers seat out, he sits in the back. :grin:

[HotBoxer]

He took the drivers seat out, he sits in the back. Very Happy


I actually did that in a friends Miata convertible once. Ive got a pic somewhere on another pc. Ill try to find it.

The seats are slid all the way back but I can sit upright with little extra room.

[Plays_with_Toys]

Are you coming out to red rocks on july 29th?

[HotBoxer]

Im hoping to. Depends on whether or not my liscence is suspended or not. Ill probably just have a friend drive my car up but ill be there.

see one new wheel. I broke the old one. same size and offset.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2008/08/DSC02655-1.jpg
mmmmmmm. JDM.

[Reason]

All you need is a paint job and you are all set!

[HotBoxer]

Ive also got some Rota Tarmac II that I am having powdercoated black for a second set of rims. and Im always on the lookout for some STi BBS in gold. or some volks, or some... i can see myself being a wheel whore ala sybir and JMoney.

[2.5GT]

So thats how the JDM fogs look with the yellow tint. Nice! :eek:

[nosbocaj]

Wow, beautiful car! I love the color! Keep up the great work

[d1giPhux]

what happened? get hit by someone?

[NICKZ]

I like your old grill with the STI logo in the corner. Did you custom fab that yourself??? I really want to make one like that but i wanna pick up a new grille first because im scared of messing up.

[HotBoxer]

more like i hit someone making an unsafe lane change. Little things left to do. as far as the grill, it came with the car but yes it is a custom fab job. If you had a BD/BG I would sell you mine but it wont fit the BE. I still have it if anyone wants it for the price of shipping and a 6 pack or something. no broken tabs or anything like that.

[Legacy89]

I have seen a Legacy drive around in this town. I love the look of those. Think it was a 00. Purple/redlike color.

finally got the Legacy into winter mode. need some mudflaps but its close. I did the powdercoat on the wheels at my shop. Its a wrinkle red finish like the STi intake manis but a glossier finish. One of the benefits of working at a powdercoat shop I guess. I thought I would have some fun with the winter set since it will only be part time. I will be putting the Rotas back on in the spring time after they get a new coat of gold and maybe some new rubber.

[HotBoxer]

So im not sure why the pics are all half size but they might need resizing. Im not sure how to do this maybe someone could help me...

[99SUS SFD]

What board style are you using? The Glacier style cuts off the pictures. That's the style I use...

You still have that grill? I'd love to take it off your hands.

[HotBoxer]

grill has been gone for months. Okin Da Vanh might still have the frame of it but im not sure.

[TheAngryPidgeon]

Damn, it was worth a try.

Thanks anyways.

I was using the glacier but I just switched it to the black/red one and its good now.

frame's gone too. Sold it to another member, and just used the mesh and badge.


Thanks again HotBoxer.

[TheAngryPidgeon]

Looks good man.

[99gtlimited]
