congrats on the sale!! can't wait to see it post-swap ^^ mda... post some before and after pics yeah?


gotta thank you for these flawless leather seats wombatsauce and also the excellent condition of pretty much the whole car... my dad came over this weekend and complimented on how new the engine bay looked and its the best feeling in the world to drive it. looking to start tracking next year, when I graduate, have money, and more driving experience

I just got done removing the remaining decals from the car.

Swapped the side markers back to the OEM orange, as I missed my Unicorn tooooo much. (It had OEMs on it, as well)
Pulled the PIAAs out of the bumper, getting ready to install the P1 fogs that should be here by the end of the week.

Hopefully I can find a BRP hood and see if a certain someone has some BRP foglight covers. Maybe a set of 22B hood vents too.

Getting ready to buy a set of v5 seats, front lip and a bozz wing for the car as well..

Tracking down a few other body panels that I want.

Nice!!! Wait... What are you doing with the seats in the car now?

Actually we should get in touch since I am trying to get my '95 coupe going and can probably use pretty much anything you are upgrading from (including stock RS struts to build my GC/Konis).

And djchoongjae yes that's my old car. Miss it, it was one of my faves. I had STi dreams for that car but sadly the most money I spent on it was for the suspension and shipping it to/from Hawaii in 2005 - it lived on the Big Island (where I'm from) for 6 months, and that is why it has the Hawaii safety check sticker on the bumper... That's special, and the Suby dealer told me it was the only one on the island at the time!

Daniel has the Stock RS suspension for the car, I didn't have room in the car when I picked it up.

Daniel -- Sell those bits to wombat.

Wombat -- Feel free to hit me up on AIM if you'd like.

I'll post pictures of the car tomorrow. So everyone can see the progress.

I have almost new 2000 RS suspension minus the top hats. Suspension has like 2000 miles on it, they are urs for $50, all four corners.


Yeah, I have some nice bits and pieces left over for you mda, you're going to LOVE the friggin seats... Absolutely amazing upgrade over the crappy stock ones! Those stock seats are fairly new since they only have like 20k miles on them and I hardly ever had a passenger, and had someone sit in the back like 4 times tops.

The wing looks really good with those rear spats on a lowered car... It evens the car out really nicely, You know when people get a huge wing but don't add spats or a rear apron so it looks really weird and uneven? Yeah, the spats cure that, and on a lowered car it looks great! Also, the side skirts match the spats 100% so it looks even lower then it really is (compared to unpainted side skirts). Actually, painting the side skirts made a HUGE difference in how the car looks when looking at the side profile. Def a great worthwhile mod. I had a really great paint shop paint those a long *** time ago, the paint is probably better then it is on the rest of the car. The front bumper of that car has been replaced 2 times, due to hitting crap on the freeway... Nothing too major with it. The pass door was also replaced at one point but done by the same body shop so it's all oem and bolted right on so no major work or anything.

I almost want to hang on to that BOZZ wing because it's so unique and has so many memories, but I don't really have use for it and I could really use the money.

Sorry about those decals... lol, I put that off, well, forever which is why you had to do it. I'm sure goof-off would have taken it off instantly.

I keep trying to remember any details I might have forgotten, but overall you know pretty much everything I can think of.

How's the car running and everything? How's the auto? The only thing you really need to swap it to a 6 speed is the pedal box and pedals of course, and a little bit of wiring, other then that it's pretty easy and straight forward.

When you came out of my housing complex and were about to make that U turn, it made me have sellers remorse for about a min because it looked so nice... I can't wait to see the finished product! I know it's going to be epic!

Sweet - I'll take the suspension parts. I wanted to pick up your V5 seats bad but couldn't swing the cash which has been a humbling experience lately. They are nice, I had similar ones in my '98 Impreza Turbo in the UK. I need to see if I can still find all those trance DVDs I made for you back when we were talking about all that!

mda - you going to sell the stock RS seats front/rear? I was originally looking for something like those V5 seats, then '04/'05 WRX and now well pretty much anything. My interior looks like it was raped by a pissed off rottweiler with razor blades for claws.

Daniel -- Sorry duder, I saw the look on your face when I flipped that U turn. I was like.. awwe mannnn. I felt bad. 6mt Parts are just sitting and waiting. I'm basically taking all of my Unicorn's LIC harness and pedal box (WRX) and my STi brake booster and STi Clutch master cyl and tossing it into the car.
Car is running great, the auto...is.....tragic. Nah, it's not that bad. With my busted *** body it works for me rather well.
Decals only took a heatgun and a bit of time. The PIAAs made me want to bust out the sawzall and cut them off of the car.
Then all of the 2000's harness will get put into the Unicorn. With a special motor and it's matching 6mt, which happens to be named "T56" O_o

It will be Epic, that's for damn sure. It's parked in this rain, driving the forester right now.

wombat -- All of the 2000s interior is going into the 98, I parted with the 98s interior back when I got it. Since it was BEAT and smelled like smoke. I've got that STi rear seat.

Do I get a refund on the raffle tickets I bought for the 10th annual BAM meet? The ones where you were going to raffle off the RS?

Hey Matt are we talking about the car thats on the right in your garage? damn didn't realize you had 2 projects going down haha.

Thanks for the seats man I love them! hit me up If you ever need some help for a weekend I always need somethin to do especially if it involves me getting my hands dirty

mda

iTrader: (9)

Yup! The Green car is getting an LSx swap, and all of the Green car's parts will be put into the Blue RS you saw me come home in. And then there's the truck...

Glad the v8s are working great for you! I loved them! Treat them well. Let me know if you want/need a STi rear seat. I've got one sitting inside the house so it doesn't get dirty.

Will do on the calling for help! Thanks.

baco

that's a STEAL. I mean how many miles did it have to sell it for so cheap? just the P1 are worth almost 1k.
