Yay!

Your plates are sequentially after mine! (99-GTB)

They would look rad with JDM Legacy chrome number plate surrounds.

Damn Jim! You spoiled my next surprise they're on their way now! Haha
Yes they are! We should take photos of our cars soon hahah

Yep Minto....

Thank you

Mint.

Thanks mate

So nice. I've not yet seen those JDM plates in person yet.
 
The dirt that would've been behind the previous plates; is it just dirt or is that scratched into the paintwork?

Small scratches on the front from the plates up against the bumper bar, and I believe the back is just dirt, used my finger on it and some came off, but a good wash will reveal any scratches! Hopefully there's none!

They're nice, but they're not the best quality to be honest, around the outside edge it's missing the white paint, it's just bare metal, which is crap cause rust life

Awesome. I thought so.

[CRUISN]

You need to drill holes in the number plate lower to raise it to proper JDM height. You'll see this when your surrounds arrive.

Looking good though.

[Sven Smergberd]

Claybar will fix the old plate marks.

[Barbbachello]

Would bang

[patrick27s]

So haven't really had much time to do work on the car but, removed some more crappy wiring in the car. Lmao speaker wires going to nowhere

Number plate frames came from Subaru Japan, as Jim requested haha,

Please excuse the dirty car

Re drilled the wholes so they would fit, I offset the holes slightly to the left of the plates so that the Japanese writing (車 - which translates to 'Car') wouldn't get blocked by the cover

Next thing I did was pull out the drivers seat, the seat was jammed on one rail. I pulled the seat out and removed the rails. Cleaned and greased them up but didn't work. So I took the seat out again and removed the motor assembly and cleaned it out, the shaft between the two rails was slightly off. I adjusted it and tried it with my hand and it worked!! But when I put it back in the car it worked for the first 2 seconds and then it jammed again. time for a new seat I think. No pics because frustrated at the damn seat hahah but I found 150¥ under the seat hahaha about $1.20 lol

One last pic of glow in the dark number plate covers.

More updates to come. Got some awesome parts just arrived ! Can't wait haha

shit about the seats -- if you have trouble / don't want to keep the electrics, you can transfer your seat gubbins (bolsters, covers etc) to AUDM manual rails and adjustments without too much work.

Is that numberplate surround 'legacy' label fluorescent ? coool.

[Jimbo]

Frames are so awesome. I want a set =(

Yeah I was considering it. But I think I might be able to get a seat in at a good cost, might be worth just changing it. As I have a set in my RX Lib, and the control switch broke the other week. So I can swap the control switch from this seat hahaha.

Yeah it's pretty awesome, it's that greeny glow in the dark thing. Also comes on the matching tailgate/bumper bar cover which I got but didn't post it yet will go on after a good clean.
yahoo auction pic for reference the Legacy badge glows like the number plate covers.

Hahaha it'll need a lot more work to be as clean as your car haha but it's getting better.

Omg I swear, I wash the car and don't even drive it and it's dirty.

Tempting offer, I might try find one in Sydney. But if I can't, it's gonna be a mad road trip to Victoria !

I'll let you know when you put it up for sale

[patrick27s]

Small update again.

I got my package from Amayama with my factory clips. Got some factory side skirts from a wreckers and installed them with new clips all around. The inner clips were broken but I glued them back together


Gave them a good clean, had residual tape left over from the spats. But got rid of them with some wax and grease remover, and some 1500grit wet sanding. looks heaps better than the zero sports ones.



Forgot to take a proper photo and this is all o got haha excuse the potato pics

Also ordered some little screws for my keys as the original ones were all rusted and annoyed me, and some bolts from the engine cover thingo that had been replaced with random ones that don't match.
Before

After

yay for new matching bolts
