Get in line!

Ive heard the same thing from many people with many of my cars.......

 

When the time comes to sell, no one who's said anything previously ever buys it.

 

[CRUISN]

Im only putting a diffback muffler on it, nothing else and no more boost.

 

If it dies, it dies, I'll change replace it. Im not new to changing out Subaru parts.

[CRUISN]

Spent nearly all day correcting previous owners / mechanics poor workmanship, and severe lack of attention to detail. There's a few oem engine bay clips i'll have to purchase on my next order from the USA. Getting it up to my standard slowly.

 

Putting the RAYS on it now, theyre sitting here so its been tempting me ever since I bought the car. Purchased WL camber bolts for the front and WL camber bushes for the rear.

 

Camber, and 4/2 caliper refurb will be completed next week.

How much are these clips that you get man? I wanna get clips for my inner liner of the wheel arches and a few for other places on my wagon. There are too many gaps that I don't like seeing, even if they're in places that aren't so obvious...

[CRUISN]

Depends on what clip as to price. Im talking more specific wiring loom clips, etc.

 

The inner liner push clips, are available on Ebay. 

[Liberty]

I'll have to come up with a list then just to be sure of what clip goes where.

I hate pulling cars apart to find things not right.....

 

Car has been in a front end crash at some point in its life. Nothing I can find structural after pulling the front end apart and scouring the underneath , Its all pretty sweet. 

 

The only thing not right now is that it has AUDM headlights fitted and not the original JDM HID ones. Headlight levelling cable and plug sneakily tucked away out of sight......

 

JDM headlights purchased to replace.

 

Anyone after some mint AUDM headlights with oem headlight protectors and brand new Phillips Crystal Vision low bean and parker globes? 

[Jimbo]

I think mine may have at some point aswell. Grill doesn't sit flush with the bar, its higher on the passenger side.... and the driver side headlight has pink texter on the top of it wrecker style, says Lib 00 on it. Strange... considering the JDM parts are all in, HID's and turn lights included.

Are the casings the same between HID and non-HID? Like could you transplant the JDM stuff over into a AU casing?

[CRUISN]

From my experience with Gen4 JDM hid projectors compared to AUDM projectors, the casing is identical but it has a different holder for the low beam globe as the hid globe has a different base. I have converted JDM ones to AUDM spec. So its definitely doable. Probably didnt damage the headlights as panel beaters wouldnt go to the extent of swapping. Theyre lazy mofo's.....

Everything lines up pretty well on mine, just the headlights are wrong now.

[Beckers]

Yes Jim the casings are the same but you would have to cut out all the extra holes.

Plus the JDM HID casing has 3 x threaded inserts, to hold the HID ballast on the bottom of the case.

The reflector is also different, the JDM one has a step in it that AUDM stuff does not have.

[Jimbo]

My headlights are indeed JDM, but probably labelled incorrectly as Liberty by a wrecker. I think if it was in an acco, it's a pretty poor job as i adjusted the bonnet and it still doesn't line up. might have to take the front bar off one weekend and have a proper look.

Mark, this thread is useless without pitchers.

+41!

[CRUISN]

Fine.......



Added bonnet struts also.

[Adam]

Underside of bonnet so clean!

[Jimbo]

What kind of mechanic would knock you back on HID's which are factory fitted? 99% wouldn't even know what a Legacy was between a Liberty. I would find it hard to believe i would get knocked back on rego for them. Considering my car has been in the country for 6 years. I have ALL the original import paperwork and the only thing stated was that the addition of child restraints is the only thing necessary to pass all relevant compliance laws.

[Barbbachello]

I really dont get why HIDs require washers ¯\(°_o)/¯

[Hypnotic]

Maybe for another thread, so we are not fouling up this one.

oh my..
