New winter setup from a couple weeks ago



- - - Updated - - -

Tinkered a little bit after work today:

Front 5x114 components:

(Control arms going to the machine shop tomorrow, then powder coat and install)

Interior updates:

Beatrush BRZ pedals - need to modify the bracket for the gas pedal to finish the install (ignore dirty carpet/mats, I have new black carpet and STI floor mats waiting for the interior to get ripped apart)


JDM BH5 Special Edition door trim and dyed black A-pillars (potato picture)


JDM BH5 Special Edition black sunvisors


Baja Radio/HVAC trim (no flip out cupholder)


04 STI E-brake handle


Shift knob pic



Rear end parts getting shipped across the country tomorrow for 5x114 conversion work.

[yaya]

Anyone know what other model steering racks would be a direct swap?

Baja? 4th LGT?

[yaya]

Last week I finally got around to doing the 5x114 conversion up front.

Reman steering rack (huge pita)
Removed front axles
Cusco Endlinks
JDM BH5 aluminum control arms
OEM WRX Tie Rod ends
05 STI knuckles (modded for more steering angle)
05 STI lower coilover mounts
2015 WRX Stoptech slotted rotors

And today I finished installing my Beatrush pedals


Here's a random shot of my seats my brother took last week

[yaya]

Ran some wiring for my amp/sub and backup camera, then installed black carpet.

[nepbug]

Where did you get the black carpet?

[yaya]

It was grey and I sprayed it with SEM black paint. It's been sitting in my basement for a year waiting for me to get motivated.

[meepers]

Looks wonderful! Dang your short shifter looks Uber short...

It's shorter than I expected it to be, but works fine.

Axleback acquired. Syms never made it in shipping = refund.

Picked up this Fujitsubo Legalis R last week, and have a replacement mid pipe on the way.

[yaya]

Got rid of my exhaust leak today. It's a little louder than I'd prefer, but sounds pretty good.

Crappy picture.



Could use longer hangers.

[dylen_bradley42]

Do you have any parts you aren't using any more?

I've got 05 rear hubs machined to fit 08 STI bearings. All I need is a set of KNS gravel rotors so I can keep my parking brake and I can install everything. Based on conversations with the shop that did the machining, it should widen the track around ~3/8" or ~8mm per side.

i took it out and looked and didnt see any bulbs on the side like the cruise and fog light switches have. Are these said bulbs inside and unable to be replaced without a new switch?

Correct, they are inside. a few people have opened them up and replaced them, but honestly its easier to just replace the whole thing.

The S401 switch (the red one pictured above) is about $40-50 after shipping and whatnot to the US. You will need to swap the plastic bracket from your US switch to convert it from RHD to LHD.

[Muse]

Oh, welp. I'm an idiot.

[dylen_bradley42]

Do you have a short throw shifter installed?
