  1. The JDM Legacy Wagon rear bumper is the shortest of them all. It is shorter than the JDM OUTBACK bumper, EDM, and AUDM models. I had to buy a EDM rear crash beam from a legacy wagon from their market and trim it down to fit the JDM wagon rear bumper. This is because the JDM Legacy models do not use a crash beam due to lower crash standards.
  2. Finally finally got the rear bumper installed and the exterior is now finished. Well except for a couple minor issues with the door moldings so I bought new ones.

  3. Finally found a MT version 05 JDM Legacy Tuned By STI Gauge cluster! It is from the pre-facelift version so I just need to get it programmed and adjusted for KPH-MPH reading and I'm good to go. Sorry for the poor picture. Glare sucks. IMG_9641 by Arnold Chun, on Flickr"][/url]
  4. The struts were $1875 shipped from Subaru of Japan. I got a pretty nice discount from the factory due to my relationship. The issue I have been having is the A/F Ratio sensor not sending a signal even after replacing it with a new one. So we went through the ECU and found a issue with it so ordered another one to replace it. Then the EGR valve was also troublesome so I had to replace it. I've also wanted to get a better turbo and something oem so I just ordered up a IHI VF53 ball bearing turbo from a JDM GRB STI SPEC C. Part Number - 14411AA820
  5. Finally got my JDM Legacy S402 Wagon Struts! BNIB Part Numbers: Front - 2031021070SP, 2031021060SP Rear - 2036521040SP X2 IMG_9617 by Arnold Chun, on Flickr"][/url]
  6. Yes you are correct. I should have consulted you before buying the EDM/AUS rear beam. There is definitely a difference in the JDM Outback Bumper and the JDM legacy Wagon one. The JDM outback is similar to the EDM/AUS so it can use the EDM rear beam or the USDM sedan one. But the JDM Legacy Wagon bumper cannot. So as I mentioned, I will cut the EDM beam and use it.
  7. Eventually another feature that is also apart of the JDM rear seat system will need to be addressed. The one-touch fold down switch. It is something I found useful in my 2015 FXT and was available back in 2003-2008 for the JDM models. The switch is there but the wiring and additional harness isn't. I've sourced it and will update once it arrives to see how it works.
  8. now after the reclining rails have been installed you must account for the ability to recline the seat when in the locked position. So, the JDM legacy has rear quarter panel trim with longer spacing in the fold down latch area to allow this to work.

  9. In this picture you can see the parts I got when I sourced the JDM recliner system but found that most were not needed. A= JDM rear seat belt guide bracket - must use B= JDM rear quarter panel lower mounting bracket - must use to mount JDM rear quater trim C= JDM rear seat child anchors - not needed D= JDM rear recliner guide rails - must use IMG_9638 by Arnold Chun, on Flickr"][/url] when installing the guide rails I found that all the mounting holes are there except for one which is important, the rear position on the wheel well part of the chassis. The hole is there but you just cant tap into it. So I will get a stud and have my mechanic weld it into place. In this photo you need to simply remove the cap holding down the rear SRS sensor harness and put in the lower recliner activating mechanism and then put the cap back on top of the thread.
  10. Now I mentioned earlier that the JDM BP Legacy Wagon got reclining rear seats and I ventured to figure out how to make them functional. First I sourced the rear seat system because I also wanted the nicer fabric and then I had to find the recliner system and components. Here is what I learned. The recliner rail system consists of the JDM rear seat belt guide bracket which looks almost exactly like the USDM one but with a slight variation to accommodate the reclining mode.

  11. Well it seems that the EDM Legacy Wagon rear bumper crash beam will not work with the JDM Legacy Wagon bumper. The crash beam is still 1 inch too long. I will just cut the beam and weld it back together in order to make it functional. I compared the part numbers and noticed that the JDM and EDM rear wagon bumpers are not the same. It seems the EDM model is a hybrid between the JDM and USDM model when it comes to the rear wagon bumper length. The JDM model is still about 1 inch shorter than the EDM and thus I cannot use the EDM rear crash beam. However it is a compromise between not having a crash beam and just using the JDM bumper skin only. It was said that the JDM outback bumper could use the USDM sedan crash beam and that makes sense given that the JDM outback rear bumper is also not the same length as the JDM legacy wagon rear bumper.
  12. Got the EDM Legacy Wagon rear crash beam installed. I'm waiting on a few parts before I can put the rear bumper on. Stay tuned! IMG_9513 by Arnold Chun, on Flickr"][/url] IMG_9514 by Arnold Chun, on Flickr"][/url] IMG_9515 by Arnold Chun, on Flickr"][/url]
  13. When I started to pursue the JDM Legacy Wagon rear bumper, I knew that due to different crash standards in Japan, that JDM cars didn't have a rear crash beam. This bothered me as living in Los Angeles we have more accidents per capita than any place in the US. So after much research I found that the EDM Legacy Wagon/Sedan use the same spec rear bumper as the JDM one but with a rear crash beam! I don't know if it is exactly the same as I have a JDM rear bumper and a EDM crash beam but the only way to find out will be to test fit and see what happens.

  14. I really love the subaru accessories that are available for the Japanese Market. I believe they are vastly superior to what we get from SOA. I picked up this all weather cargo mat in black from SOJ. It is a perfect match to the rear truck room.

  15. These are my 2006 JDM Tuned By STI Legacy Wagon Bilsteins. They have been sold to a new owner. I plan on using my 08 JDM SPEC B REV D-F Set up till something else stands out.
