JDMC's '97 BG5 GT-B EJ20R 5MT -- 56K DO NOT ENTER

[jdmconnected]

I've been lurking and posting here and there for a little whiile now and I haven't really introduced myself as of yet so here goes.

I've been a Legacy fan for almost 6 years now. I am currently on my 4th Legacy wagon, all of them have been GTs :wink:
I don't dump money into mods, because I usualy don't own a car for more than a year. I just seem to get bored...
I purchased this latest Legacy because my last vehicle (Wagon R Wide) was a little small for my current line of work.

Enough talk! PICS!

This is what I started with:

The brown stuff on the lower part of the car is not dirt, the car was "clean" at the time. I'm not sure what it is, but it had to be wet sanded off. GT badge was missing.
Also, note the 3 spoke Subaru 16" wheels, I'd never seen those before.

Sombody stole the red grille badge too! (its only on GT-Bs)

Pics of the car currently:

Those are some sweet rides. i love those 3 spoke wheels.

[redlegacygt]

those are some sweet rides, if you ever feel the need to sell a pair of the foglights, just let me know :lol:

[SubaruGenki]

what's you end up doing with the 3 spokes?

[Pwise2326]

Amazing, those seats in your current one -- recaro's? The US market totally got shafted with our bd/bg's. If you get your hands on some wrecked legacy's and have a bunch of parts for sale PLEASE post up here!

[jdmconnected]

I still have the 3 spoke wheels in storage. Next time I get over there I'll get some pics of them.
The seats are stock, Subaru started using that design on the kouki BD/BGs. (but I don't think there was a power option offered, unlike the zenki seats) I believe they carried over the design to the higher grade BE/BH models too.

[Disturbed_beast]

those aren't morette's are they are those cibie headlights, i have question are you able to get JDM clear markers, because and i don't think im alone in this i looking to get some

[galek_98gt]

aww man thats an awesome ride. i'm totally for the hook up with any genuine jdm parts. i like those 3 spokes, any chance you wanna sell those?


edit: you have a rear viewing cam and a bar on your reardoor?

[dbendel35]

where are you at in japan? im in sasebo. kyushu. ive been wanting to meet some other english speaking people with legacies. well love the wagons! and i think that was cool to just all the sudden say BTW HERE I AM!! lol! and to those people wanting all the JDM parts, did you forget that im here too. well nice cars and hope to see more soon. check out my BH. later

[SC00BS]

Very sweet rides mate

[jdmconnected]

The headlights are HID Cibies.
Yes, there is a rear hatch bar (Subaru option) and rear camera. I intended to hook up the Addzest camera to my Kenwood navi, but I've found that the output may be RGB+Sync so it might not be possible.

dbendel35: I live in Tokyo, but ocassionaly I travel around if I buy cars that aren't in the local area. (sorry guys, only Familia GTX/GTRs for now) If I ever get over there I'll be sure to look you up. Or let me know if you ever visit the Tokyo area! 8) I like your BH, sweet body kit!

[Wiscon_Mark]

Goddamn, someone should attach a pole to this asking how many people had boners after those pictures! :lol:
Very Sharp Rides Neil :smt023 I think you could probably do business selling parts just to SLi members, much less to all the other JDM craving US people. That is some awesome stuff on your car, I hope to see you around more as you have some great subaru knowledge.

[masube81]

Sweet ride man. Wish I live in Japan so I can get a ride like your :(

[JPaul99GT]

those A/C controls are cool... wonder if those would work in a USDM leggy?

[Huffer]

I miss seeing those cars on the yards in NZ... ;)

Great car...

[Bisikleta62]

I found a GTB rear hatch and a bit surprised when I saw that it had a hatch bar. I feel much better to know that it's a Subaru option. :)

[SOREN]

oh my land. I'm in love again!

So, I'm selling my 94 Legacy RS, and thought I'd stick to the STi line of 'preza's, but the GT-B has got me a little hooked. Very nice. Absolutely love everything about it!

[chuckthefuk]

"I don't dump money into mods...."

Morettes / HippoSleek body kit / and all those fancy JDM bits.. Up here thats pretty much an arm and a leg :-D

Sweet rides!!! Keep up the good work.
