  1. I personally swapped a 2001 EZ30d into a 99 2.2l Wagon quite successfully. If you haven't already I suggest reading Dyne's thread here: https://www.rs25.com/forums/f145/t155496-dynes-1999-2-5rs-h6-ez30d-swap.html as it is very informative. I would also suggest reading the H6 thread on NASIOC here:https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1323800 It is a longer read but again has a lot of useful information. Not to discourage you but I would suggest being somewhat mechanically inclined to take on a swap like this yourself. It took a good amount of time researching and collecting all the parts i needed for the swap. I would also suggest purchasing a donor car for your swap as opposed to and engine and bits and pieces here and there. The Torque you gain down low and the sound the flat six makes is really intoxicating. Ryan
  2. Looking good. You will need to grind a little bit off the bottom of your JDM surround near the cubby to get it to fit. It will make sense when you go to instal it. There is a walkthrough to installing the spoiler available online with measurements and patterns for drilling the holes here------>http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/install-factory-roof-spoiler-second-generation-legacy-wagon-194416.html If you don't have to drill the two large holes near the front to fit the RFRb then don't as some spoilers don't utilize these holes and if you ever want to switch it up you then have two giant holes in your car you need to address. The part numbers for the grommet fasteners for those two giant holes in the front are: Protector Grommets R&L 96059AC210/ 96059AC200 Ryan
  3. The parts came out really good! The colour match looks spot on from the pictures you posted. Any way you can put up a link to where you got your paint supplies or for the kit itself? I have HippoSleek spoiler, skirts and side indicators to paint. As far as the tinting, the back window is the biggest pain in the ass for the car. I have to re-do mine as it wrinkled a bit. Its not to hard overall if you just take your time. Car is looking good. Ryan
  4. Did your rear garnish make it across the sea without getting the upper corners broken off? There is a good write up on SLi Net on the JDM Fogs. Pics all still work too. https://sl-i.net/FORUM/showthread.php?1576-DIY-JDM-foglight-install
  5. Lo0king really good. I have been such a slacker on getting my JDM fogs installed on account of how much work they take. Been trying to source a Limited bumper for some time and don't want to go through the hassle just to then swap the bumpers out. Although with how well they turned out on yours I might move it up the to do list. Are you going to wire them so both lights are on when you hit the fog light switch?
  6. I grab those cover catches every time I am at the wreckers and remember to do so. They brake often if you get a little to ham fisted with the cover. What grill did you end up ordering? Ryan
  7. Looking good, I have not seen that style of Stainless scuff guard before. All the ones I have are full length with larger LEGACY letters and no gold inlay. There are three lengths of grill. -Short which runs from the start of Gen2 up to and including 96 -Medium that runs from 97 to completion of Gen2 and is found on JDM/AUDM and I think EU spec cars -Tall which runs from 97 to completion of Gen2 on North American Spec cars and the JDM Lancaster It looks like you have the short grill on yours. If you are going to colour code your side mouldings I can sell you a set of JDM flush ones if you are interested. I also have a set of colour matched mirrors (I have the same Spruce Metallic Green on my wagon) that I wont need as I am upgrading to JDM power fold units. Look forward to seeing where you are going to take this build. Ryan
  8. Check in front of your windshield underneath the plastic trim piece (you need to remove the wipers and trim) that your wipers sit on right in the corners where your fenders are. Leaves and debris clog the small drain holes and cause water to back up and overflow into the fresh air intake. You should also clean out under the fender in the corner closest to your mirrors as these get clogged up as well and cause the problem you are experiencing. It is nearly always misdiagnosed as a sunroof leak and 99% of the time is debris plugging the drains mentioned above. Once these two spots have been cleared you wont have the problem any more. Had this on two of my 2nd Gens. Ryan
