I know you said you like the splash guards, but better take them off now as it will start to rust under and behind it in a few years, unless you don't see snow and salt but then you still get rain.

 

All of my 3 previous cars had rust with those slash guards

 

Haha, not sure if you saw my location but I live in mobile Alabama so no snows for me but I will keep and eye on it. My other 2 legacys havents had a problem yet but they have the liners removed SO that helps.

Ok here we go. Spec B 2006 Red Brick Leather seats. I now have a unicorn SWP 2005 GT. They only made these seats for the 2006 model Spec B.

Spec B rims also!

JDM STi Genome grill

Also have JDM Aero Spats that will need to be put on later. Lucked out on the grill and it was already SWP so I jumped on it. The spats will need to be painted. Also have Stoptech break pads, slotted rotors, and braided lines all the way around.

So over the weekend I finally had the time to do the suspension swap to the BC BR coilovers. Had issues initially with hardware being seized so I just bought all new hardware.

And so I would never have problems again I used the same techniques I use working on aircraft.

And this was odd, notice the difference

Still have a little fine tuning to do. Lowered the height in the front again today.

Looking good. I always knew the SWP and specB red interior was going to be a good combo. Been waiting to see it. This only confirms my thoughts.:) Any reason you went with SpecB wheels rather than aftermarket, especially since you have coilovers?

Alright so BIG update 8/21

 

Repaired and painted the Spec B rims, rebuilt and painted stock rear calipers and Brembos. All 4 rotors turned and new pads installed with Stoptechs. H&R 15mm spacers with extended studs installed as well. Muteki lug nuts.

On a side note I have a 90 Miata with no ABS and a 91 Legacy Turbo. When I bled the brakes I did it like 3 times because I had forgot what the LGT brakes felt like, mushy. I was like this can't be right but that is how they are.

 

Kind of gives you an idea of the extreme colors.

Stock rear caliper bracket bolts

Turned rotors for the Brembo fronts. Same size as the LGTs but the contact area is larger.

Should have stuck a ruler next to this. Using closed lug nuts.

So instead of going out with friends on a Saturday night I decided to spend 12 hours working on the interior of the car! Finally installed some gauges with the cubby pod. AEM UEGO wideband and Prosport Halo boost gauge. I also installed an air filter since mine never had one, cleaned up some wiring from the previous owner and installed my Spec B steering wheel. I am very pleased with the way it came out and love the location I found for the pressure sensor.

 

Used this thread for wiring up of the gauges using the clock.

Well after 10 years and 100,000 miles it finally has a cabin air filter!

Unfortunately I had to do some cutting to get the best fittment with the AEM wideband

Installed my BulletProofed TIMIC today, along with AVO throttle hose and blue tee replacement . Had the TMIC put together from BarManBean himself!

So I just happened to see that he was selling his stock one and had him do the BP to it. Just nice knowing it is done correctly.

 

Here is a picture of the underneath of the 2nd stock TMIC. The BulletProof TMIC is the 3rd since I have owned the vehicle. You can see one of the tabs is broken off and the other 2 aren't even holding.

Also painted the TM black with DEI silicone spray good for 1500*F. Decided after watching the mightycarmods to do it.
