Great find Mark! You are an inspiration to all GTB E-tuners in this world.

86F is right. I am thinking Subaru paints are  fairly soft as there is a fair amount of swirls and light scratches I will need to remove with a medium grade compound.  I am thinking I will have to be fairly gentle with this paint and clear coat.

 

@cdn99gtb: I'll PM you today. I also have bumper  damage. I think every import from Japan has this LOL.

Hi Jimbo,

I plan on doing a little photo shoot in January with my son ( who is getting a 99 BE5 in a day or two) and my nephew (who just picked up a 99 WRX STI). It's minus 30 degrees Celsius here today and we are waiting for a warmer snowy day to have some 'drifting fun'. I'll post a few photos then. Finding lots of information and motivation from this site. I am lurking in Marks GTB thread suffering from major envy.

 I have had many compliments on the colour of my wagon. Guess it is rather unique? The wagon is in the shop getting new rotors and brakes today. Once the mechanical quirks are taken care of, I'll start on the 'upgrades'

Happy New Year!

 

@cdn99: if you want, I can send you a  partial list of part numbers I compiled for the GTB. It already helped me when ordering the rotors and calipers. I will be continually updating the list as I research and purchase new parts.

Timing belt kits for EJ206/ BH5's are easy to find on websites and dealerships from Japan and most include the water pump. I wish I could find the North American equivalent for  these parts as well.  I know that many parts for 99 GTBs are interchangeable with North American 02 WRX, but there isn't any clear information on the timing belt.

I imported a 99 GTB e-tune wagon in August of this year and had it shipped to Winnipeg. Maybe we can compare notes.

My car passed inspection, but one thing all imported cars must have in Canada is day time running lights.
