idk, mine's pretty slow and super gay... only way it'd be gayer is if it was rainbow colored... lol

what about if it was an auto tranny FF with no motor, interior, half the front end cut off and with one rear wheel bearing rusted so badly it didn't turn when i winched it onto my trailer today? and was that gay teal color all over?

lol... well i have a gay teal front bumper, and fenders, does that count for anything?

On another note, did u get the mud flap, door, fender liner and other crap off of it? If u need me to get it all outa your garage or anything just lmk...

Been a while, got a few more things done, just haven't gotten around to pulling pics off of the camera

Got the 99+ rs bumper, lightweight bumper beam, put in headlights and grill...

This weekend i have to change out an axle, new brakes, get my STi axle back on, and hopefully get the damn headlight to work properly...

Also waiting on my hella 500 amber fogs and kartboy mounting kit, and to find some damn turn signals.. also picking up a wrx rear seat, black carpet and other little things...

Pics (some are shitty):
6 disc cd changer (love the clean factory look) -

Speaker (they were free, better than the 1 door speaker it came with)-

And they money shot (new front end, needs a little better fitment but havent had time)-

Why don't you just leave this car alone and finish your CRX?

[btleier]

where'd you get the lightweight bumper beam?

to get my crx even on the road i need a few more parts + like 2 weeks straight of bust ass working on it (brake swap, finish motor, motor swap, suspension, etc)... I go back home bout 2 days a month for a cpl hours and that's bout it...

to get it DONE, it's a ton of money (jdm front, mugen rep kit, wheels, full motor build, suspension, other jdm/edm body/ int, etc)... very long term project

Subaru - only need a couple more body parts, paint, fairly cheap int upgrades, and eventually a swap and brake conversion... plus it running/driving makes it a lot more motivating to work on...

subaru dealer i believe, colin did all the ordering for me...

[btleier]

is it the jdm one?

i think so...

[Colin]

part numbers:

Lightweight Bumper Beam Front 57760FA400
Lightweight Bumper Beam Rear 57760FA192

Not a dealership searchable part, but a SOA available part.
One of them is getting really low in nventory and will not be restocked, but I can't remember which one.

Note: This beam makes your car illegal. lolollol.

dumb question, but I can't order those items through a Subaru dealer? reason I ask is I work at a dealer group, and get employee discounts on parts.

you can order through a dealer, but only if you have the part number. a dealer can't search the part for you. meaning if you walked in and asked: "order me a lightweight bemper beam" the dealer would say: "i don't show that part".

IF you said: " order part number 32527653464"

they would say: "ok"

Brandon, ever get the light figured out? I guarantee its the ground. If you cannot trace it, run a new one to the chassis.

[me_john85]

looks pretty sweet, the RS front end is alot better

No, stensland was looking at it, and said it must be a bad wire (grounding out but not enough to blow a fuse or something) between the relay and headlight, but i didnt have time to trace it yet.. it's getting the proper voltage and everything..

Brandon. I'm pretty sure it is a ground not supplying enough connection to allow full voltage. Tap a new chassis ground to each of the bulbs negative wire and verify this. It's quick and easy to do.

Bump... got fogs and stuff put in the bumper a while back, been too lazy to take pics...

However, i'm 90% sure this project is getting scrapped..
