<![CDATA[My new dd/beater project]]>Last week I picked up a 95 Impreza L 4dr. Right now is a 2.2L auto, but I picked up a manual swap with it... My plans for now are RS hood, 01? RS front bumper, 98+ headlights and grill, try to find some rs side skirts and maybe the rear spats and STi wing.. Also thinking about dying/sueding/flocking the interior... Eventually do the manual swap and probably get body and paint work done...

Here's some pics I took from the FS thread.. the airbags were fixed before I picked it up

Thanks to Colin for the car, dealing with all my questions, and for the help with it

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.

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"

makes sense. thanks.

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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):
