Except the 45 day wait. Give or take customs time. Or for some maybe that builds the anticipation.
Either way its exciting, I like when its all written in Japanese and I have no clue what I'm looking at but its awesome cause its JDM!

My wife thought I was saving my headlight package from Poland for some sort of sentimental value. LoL I left it around for fire starter, I had to ask her why she never used it too start a fire (fire place).
Couldn't be mad at her, just happy to have a Lady that knows how to start a fire on her own.

Only drove it around the block. Only got into boost for a little bit. Let's just say it was borderline boner causing. This thing screams. When I get the full tune, I will try to dyno.

I daily drive my 93 resto project, lol. I'm hoping in the end my legacy will look half as good as yours does right now. That interior looks so nice. Mine not so much...

On the bright side of things, I got a chance to install some 04 Wrx brakes and rotors all around. I did however, completely forget to install the Svx non-abs master cylinder and prop valve I had hiding in a box Image Image

Keep me in mind if you want to get rid of anything you upgrade. My goal is to have my L transformed into an SS by this time next year

I'm pretty sure CJ (cj91legss) is looking for a non-abs SVX master cylinder if you don't plan on using it. Just as an FYI, you wouldn't want to use the SVX prop valve, you'd want to stick with the Legacy valve and swap between wagon and sedan if needed to shift the bias a little under heavy braking.

Swapped my failing alternator for an 06 Outback 110a unit from the wreckers. Happy with it thus far.

It bolts right in, but the plug has to be swapped to the rectangle plug. I'm fairly sure I got it correct haha. There is a Sense wire, Ignition switched wire, and a dash light wire from both old and new plugs. It helped that the junkyard gave me the pigtail with the alternator. There is some conflicting information on it, with some sources saying you only use 2 wires, and some saying you use all 3. I've got all 3 hooked up so far, and no issues to speak of.

Good to know. I just assumed the larger master cylinder would need the matching prop valve. Trying to learn as much as I can. And I hunted on car-parts.com for a while and I came across the master cylinder.

If you have stock ss brakes, I used a 1" non abs master cyl and pro valve. Seems to work fine so far. I don't do heavy braking.

I do plan to upgrade tho since I also want some 4-2 pots.

I didn't know the sedan and wagon were different as far as the prop valve tho. Is there any physical way to identify them?
