Hello, guess its time I make one of theses...lol.

Bought it on March 14, 2009 with 160k miles on it.
Its an auto but it's proving to be everything I wanted in a car.

Vehicle History:
I'm the 3rd owner of this vehicle.
I got from a family who had just lost a family member. They just wanted the car gone.
The gentleman that they lost was the owner of it. He had it from 2000 to 2009 and only put 60k on it.
The owner before that put the other 100k on it.

I took the front license plate holder off...looks so much better

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/06/IMG_0342JPG-1.jpg
Did some paint. I know its sorta common but I like it. It offsets the grey everywhere else.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/06/IMG_0341JPG-1.jpg
No more 'L' or dealer tag.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/06/photo-1.jpg
Gold Hubcaps

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/02/100_0755JPG-1.jpg
New Grill

Thats it for pics.

=====Future Plans 6/24/09=====
Exterior:
GT Front Bumper
GT Hood
Some Subaru Rim (odds are 16" WRX)
A spoiler (dont know what one yet, leaning towards the STi)
JDM Headlights

Interior:
Steering wheel change out (to what I dont know)
Seats change (WRX in the front, Later BD(non-blue and cupholder in the back)

Not a bad little car you got there. IDK how I feel about the gold caps, black might look nice. I think a GT bumper would be a great addition to the car.

I sorta like how they look...I know for a fact i want a spoiler. Got any suggestions?

I wanted to see how the gold would look with the silver. And I like it. Hopefully I can find some gold WRX wheels for on this.

I think a GT bumper would be a great addition to the car.
I know...I just cant find one in my area. It sucks.

Bumping time with a question.
Will a steering wheel from a newer (like 05) STi work in a BD6? I know I'd need to rewire the horn and cruise and airbag.

Airbag will not work. Clockspring needs to be from a '98+ Subaru. If you buy a JDM wheel you will need to take a dremel saw and cut into it where the cruise control stalk would be.

Updating time. Got a coupon for 20% off a subaru accessory from any dealer. So, I went and got the official all-weather floor mats (I went through 2 different sets of department store generic ones with no success in fitting the way they should).

Another update for me is my 6 disc CD Changer from user T_F_E.

nice looking BD you got there. Definetly needs some JDM headlights and rims now :)

Its too bad you have an auto but nothing is stopping you from swapping later on.

Thanks for the comment.

I am currently after some snowflake wheels, yet again STiRally8 might be the helper here.

its from a 06 WRX, It works with the factory plug. The reason for all my wiring in the one picture is that the factory unit has no RCA for subwoofer installations so I had to put in a converter.

nice!, does the L version comes with sun roof?
I dont believe so. Mine is aftermarket. Was already installed when I got the car.

Mini-Update.

New Wheels. Took em off cause the tires were crap on them but atleast I have em.
Grill has been painted.

I am just amazed at the tire profile (that was the best tire in the pic)

Not in the picture, My Subaru emblem is a close to Cherry Blossom Red color (Rhine River Rose, Krylon H2O paint- mentioned on NASIOC as being a close color)

New suspension is in the works.
New Interior
Gonna rework the sound system soon

All older Subaru vehicles, non current models (<07), that use the standard single or double din head unit use the same plug to my knowledge.

Wow...
I didnt even bother to see where you were...thats a heck of a drive. Ill keep your offer in mind...I do make random trips that way.

=================================================

Got a question for all you mechanics
i have a CEL on right now
P0400 -Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction
and
P0420 -Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

I have replaced the EGR Valve with a newer used one (cleaned it out myself)
What do i need to do or check to get ride of these CELs and get my mileage up

Grafton

03-19-2010, 02:29 PM

looks like you have a cat going bad, but advance or auto-zone should be able to clear the codes for free

geckoboy86

03-19-2010, 02:52 PM

I would rather fix it. my mileage is shitty even for subarus.

Does the cat going explain both codes? Should I be concerned about my o2 sensors?

EDIT: On another note, the CEL light comes and goes. Its not the bulb.

Been awhile since I updated. Unfortunately not much to say other then a few things breaking on me, But thats all about to change.

Broken (still broken at this point)
Passenger side front axle boot went.
Before that my ABS light came on (sensor needing cleaned I hope)
CEL isnt on anymore (had P0400 and P0420) - Plan on changing the o2 here soon
Car went through a freak hail storm after walking in a church (Im not a normal church goer so the big man must not of been to happy to see me and took it out on my poor subie)

Im gearing up for some upgrades/fixes that should take place before spring 2011
Fix the above
WRX Suspension
WRX Hood Scoop
Full window tinting (cant decided on what level of tint)
Might be a new exhaust in there, not sure

geckoboy86

10-02-2010, 04:32 PM

Did my pm make you wanna update this? lol

ugh, I hate when stuff breaks. Looks like we both have to spend more time on fixing than modding!

Those o2 sensors are expensive! I wouldn't buy a new one unless it starts giving you more trouble again...

I was planning on it updating this soon. I took a break from modding the car this summer. I even avoided SLi. But I got in the mood and then found the WRX suspension (about this time last week). I wasnt gonna update till after the new suspension was on but then your PM made me feel the need to update.

My mileage is shit, even for a subaru. I only get 17mpg. O2 or cat needs to be replaced to hopefully get that back up to 20mpg+

geckoboy86

10-03-2010, 06:58 AM

Yay. I hit a deer. Need a new hood. Passenger head light. Passenger fender. Maybe a new grill. Car seems to be fine.

Man, that sucks... I guess it's time to look for a scooped hood!

I bet not modding saved some money, and the wrx suspension should be nice too!

If you're still getting crappy mileage and your CEL is gone, try just unplugging the sensors themselves. When my car was being stupid, it was getting a solid 20 mpg no matter how i drove. I replaced the cats with a high flow cat, then I got 25mpg. I didn't like the sound of the cat much and the lost back pressure, because of the 2.5" piping, so I put the old cats back in. I'm still getting 25mpg with the old cats back on!!! So I think just unplugging the senors and thus resetting them made my car get the mileage back. But I think I got a CEL because of my aftermarket headers in the first place, so there was never a real problem with my cats.

Idk, something you can maybe try.

geckoboy86

10-03-2010, 05:58 PM

It does. Im still getting my suspension. I have a second car I can use for up to one month to get all my repairs done if need be.

As for the hood. Ill use this banged up hood to test out the WRX scoop. I plan on getting another non-scooped hood so I can preform this mod.

As for the O2/Cat
I'll try it (do i do that from underneath, and which one, front or back) . My exhaust is the original exhaust. 95 with 176k on it.

EDIT: Time to update my Plans

=====Future Plans 10.03.10=====
Exterior:
Fix damages
GT Front Bumper 2.5 RS Impreza Front Bumper
GT Hood WRX Scoop

JDM Headlights Think I am gonna stay USDM on this, though I like projectors

Interior:
Steering wheel change out (JDM WRX)
Seats change (Something not blue)

Other:
WRX Suspension
New Exhaust
New Air Intake System

Navi271

10-03-2010, 11:52 PM

Oh ok good! Glad to hear this deer incident isn't keep you down.

I'd unplug both just to be sure. The front one is easy to unplug from the engine bay, while the rear one has to be unplugged under the car. It's just a plastic clip. I'd jack the front of the car up, put on jack stands. Unplug the front one from the engine bay on top, crawl underneath and unplug the rear one, then go back up and plug in the front one, then crawl underneath again to plug the rear one back in. Idk if there's a certain amount of time you have to have it unplugged or what, so crawling underneath the car and back out would give it a minute to "reset." Hopefully!

If the CEL comes back on, or this doesn't work then one of the cats or one of the sensors is toast, but I would have no idea which part it would be... But as long as there's no CEL and the computer is happy, there shouldn't be any reason you're not getting the best gas mileage! Good luck!

geckoboy86

04-10-2011, 03:42 PM

I went from L to WRX seats. They are a lot higher.

I'm 5'10" and Im ok with it...had to recline it a bit. They are really nice and hold ya in.
I heard from a few different sites that while the 02 to 07 WRX seats look the same, the 02 and 03 are made differently and have a softer foam in them so you sink in them a bit more.

A central PA meet is needed...I cant afford to goto the north east PA ones.

xoSubieLegacyxo

04-10-2011, 07:31 PM

I was at an "RS 25" meet in Philly, and I'll never drive that far for a meet again. Great people and cars, but just not worth it.

Also, Don't swap your OEM bumper for an RS one. It looks stupid. Its like putting a STi wing on a legacy......ugly and out of place.

2) The foglights in the bumper are way too big (RS ones are not that big)

I can help you with the factory cluster. I'm not sure how good of a condition it is, but I pulled it off of a 96 leggy. It had after market lights in front of the factory ones, so its all OEM now! Only problem is is that I took off the gauge needles, so you'll be guessing where they go. I found this link by "Zues Marine" on taking off the needles, and where they approximatively will hang. And you can't ask him cause he's banned! lol PM me if you want it it's free! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Came with fogs, turns, inserts, and beam.

geckoboy86

06-26-2011, 02:15 AM

Stripped the RS Bumper yesterday of lights and extras.
Gonna need some new hardware for mounting the fogs and new turn lenses (in clear, Anyone know where I can score these?).

Doing a test fit today to see how the holes line up on the sides and starting a photo log of this process.
After the test fit comes repair. Got a nasty deep scrape on the front and need to fits a few bumper mounting points.

Why do you have to find new hardware for the fogs and turns?

Turns just need a metal clip which you can jack from your gauge cluster...happy you found the bumper

geckoboy86

06-26-2011, 12:40 PM

Bolts are just rusted badly for the fogs.
The one turn has a cracked lens, which is why I want clear lenses. Plus all my other turns are clear.

Hit a few snags for the RS bumper. Beam isnt the later RS beam. That'll need some cutting to fit properly. Bumper needs trimmed for the grille and fenders.

Beam was damaged. I realized this later yesterday and I fixed it. Don't know when I'll have time to put it back on to then do my cutting of the bumper. After that happens, The project should move quickly.

what needs to be cut off of the bumper? The mock up looks great! After I see how this looks I might follow the trend! haha

geckoboy86

06-27-2011, 01:40 PM

The grille area either needs trimmed down or the grille itself. A small portion sticks up near the headlight (only about an inch in length that is only a mm or 2 high.

The issue is near the wheelwell. The fender line does a small decline just before the wheelwell. That'll need to be adjusted for. Also the bumper is about a inch too long into the wheelwell. The mount for the inside of the fender and bumper will probably end up being a ziptie.

Another user tried to do that. Turned into way too much hassle.

No updates yet on the bumper...Hit a snag last weekend, I messed up the threading on the beam so that halted my progress. Ordered in a tap to fix it cause no one locally sold a 12mm 1.25 tap.

just get an impreza L beam and hack half of it off, you save alot of weight and their easier to acquire

also send me a text a week or 2 before you come up so i can get off work but i have a feeling you'll pick the weekend when I'm in New Jersey

It's a Thule 400xt aero foot with a 44" fairing and 50" load bars. It's a universal fit with the correct pads. I am not using the correct pads as I got this from an 06 Impreza owner. It's removable.

Dont wanna gunk your thread up.. but if you can send me more info about what pieces you need to make them fit on a 99 legacy.. that would be awesome.

Hey! Awesome build! Your little L has come a long way! Had to stop in and take a peek after you posted on my bumper-mod thread :) I love that under-seat sub! I've been looking for some oem Subaru ones for a while and can't seem to find any cheap. Also, how much did the front strut brace affect cornering? I definitely plan on getting a rear bar, (I'm addicted to over-steer) but I'd like something to stiffen the front a bit too.

The underseat sub was originally the OEM one. The woofer was bad. So I ordered the 6.5" EQ one. And my brother made the box.

The front brace is just eye candy. Doesn't do too much, the 2nd gen firewall is really sturdy in our cars. The rear one is a better buy.

There might be a small variance in the front line right where the line meets the caliper. I believe my stock ones were flat and the WRX ones were angled.

But then that was with my 95 L 2.2l. Yours could be different. Or it might not even matter. As I said before. I swapped my suspension and brakes (with lines due to mounting on the WRX struts) all over in a week.

--------------------------

I think I am gonna sit down and seriously rethink where I want to take this car. The RS bumper might be close to the chopping block. I know its one of the things I longed for the most but I am now kinda over it. I still want big ass fogs.

Colorado haha, just a little bit away. If you were closer it would be nice to buy one that would just bolt up already.

So...RS bumper is off...up for grabs too. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=24067 (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=24067)
On page 6 of this members ride, I kept on seeing that mag cover and that car looked better then my RS front end.

So...I'm in the process of rethinking what I want to do with the car. I was gonna get a 4th gen but some sense was talked into me and I'm gonna keep the BD. Its been a fantastic car. I love it but not sure how I want to set it up to keep me happy.

Darn, I was kinda excited to see where you were going to go with your car. I was expecting one hell of a car when it was finished.

Oh well, off to the next project :D

Oh. I'm keeping it. I just got off track and had no aim for where I wanted it to go. I'm rethinking it.

Those are both good swap ideas. Both are planned if something big goes wrong.

02-29-2012, 11:27 PM

Think I got the idea of what I want down. Time to start the new project! I shall call it URV.

Urban Rally Vehicle.
Urban for the primary environment. Style elements as well. (it'll still see dirt, don't worry)
Rally for set-up. Not all about power but handling is key. (fog lights -plural- are a must)
Vehicle for the fact it is my daily driver still.

Parts are on order from Rallysport Direct. Talking to httrdd and 98legwag about some parts...Should be fun.
Rally Armor mud-flaps, JDM headlights, GT side skirts (start of a new exterior idea), maybe a new suspension, H6 brakes, Improved sound system.
And that is just the start.

Well. Parts are sorta coming together but now I have a step back. Filler neck has a hole in it and I'm leaking gas. Patched it for now.

I beg you all to check your filler pipe.

mine rusted through a year ago. theyre easy to change. just expensive since its dealer only....

03-04-2012, 07:48 AM

I thought there was a thread of aftermarket one? Yea junk yard carsaround here are prob just as rusted. I will have to check mine for ya shane maybe give that to ya as well.

They're cheap on eBay, I think most Subaru fuel filler necks are a one size fits all.

I will adjust them tonight after work...I did the sit in front of lights and where does it blind me at test and all seemed well.

Did you ever try to bake the one? I noticed the one orange this was missing from the one light... It doesn't matter, just wondering. Im baking them both soon enough to repaint the whole thing.

httrdd

03-15-2012, 01:41 PM

Yep i told you one had the turn signal cleared and one did not. I used a heat gun, but was careful. Glad you like them they give a whole nother look to the car.

So...Getting a new crank pulley here soon. Grimmspeed.

Have been offered a Pioneer AVH-P3200BT. Double Din 5.8" touchscreen unit. $200

And a set of 18" rims. Cant remember the brand name or the tire size but they are nice but a little flashy. They have some Nitto NT 555 Extreme Performance tires on em. He has me making an offer on those...Unsure if I want them or what to offer...Rims were 1200 and tires were 650 when he got them. Prefect condition. 15k on the tires and has another 40k left. This is the rims second set of tires.

Im really liking where this is going!!! Ive always wanted to get a headunit but cant seem to find "the one"

geckoboy86

03-24-2012, 10:31 PM

Ya...Tell me about it...I've been happiest with Subaru OEM ones (my 06 before it died and I like this 02 unit even more) just for the feel. I have not found 'the one' that is perfect but I think this unit could be a step in the right direction.

03-26-2012, 12:00 PM

Rear RallyArmors are on. Finally nice enough outside to get a pic.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/03/IMG_3268-1.jpg

I love the rear skirt and all but I don know if I need the side skirts. Looking at it in terms of height and flow, the stock body and the GT rear skirt seam to flow very well.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/03/IMG_3270-1.jpg
Might paint the stock body black for the side skirt area.

It'll look great once I have the bumper and hood repainted.

And I went and look at my iPhoto album of my car...I miss my old Subaru look.. I really miss having gold wheels..

I want some new wheels but can't decide on anything.
Here is the car now...
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/04/460895_2981328940312_1474590089_32079600-2.jpg

Im debating on a few choices.
98 5 Spoke RS 'Goldies'
Snowflakes (painted in gold)
06-07 WRX (paint in gold)

As you can tell, I kinda want gold back. I don't want to paint the RSs.

I want more style then function now...I don't plan to AutoX so my 6 spokes (as they are one of the best OEM rims for this) are kinda a waste.
