Also have JDM Aero Spats that will need to be put on later. Lucked out on the grill and it was already SWP so I jumped on it. The spats will need to be painted.

And for some reason I didn't take any photos of when I did the breaks. Stoptech all the way around pads and slotted rotors with braided lines! Just need new tires for the rims.

Thanks for the comment guys. Yea not to sure of the grill yet. But it is something different. Kind of reminds me of a boar.

So over the weekend I finally had the time to do the suspension swap to the BC BR coilovers. Had issues initially with hardware being seized so I just bought all new hardware.
Image
Image
And so I would never have problems again I used the same techniques I use working on aircraft.
Image
And this was odd, notice the difference
Image
Image
Finished
Image
Image
Still have a little fine tuning to do. Lowered the height in the front again today.

Is that spray-on anti-seize?
Are you adjusting by corner weight or visual ride height?

It is a spray on corrosion inhibitor. Really great stuff. Right now it is visual, i would like to corner it in the future.

Alright so BIG update 8/21

Repaired and painted the Spec B rims, rebuilt and painted stock rear calipers and Brembos. All 4 rotors turned and new pads installed with Stoptechs. H&R 15mm spacers with extended studs installed as well. Muteki lug nuts.
On a side note I have a 90 Miata with no ABS and a 91 Legacy Turbo. When I bled the brakes I did it like 3 times because I had forgot what the LGT brakes felt like, mushy. I was like this can't be right but that is how they are.

Kind of gives you an idea of the extreme colors.

New boots

Stock rear caliper bracket bolts

Turned rotors for the Brembo fronts. Same size as the LGTs but the contact area is larger.
Image
Should have stuck a ruler next to this. Using closed lug nuts.

So instead of going out with friends on a Saturday night I decided to spend 12 hours working on the interior of the car! Finally installed some gauges with the cubby pod. AEM UEGO wideband and Prosport Halo boost gauge. I also installed an air filter since mine never had one, cleaned up some wiring from the previous owner and installed my Spec B steering wheel. I am very pleased with the way it came out and love the location I found for the pressure sensor.

Pressure sensor location.

Well after 10 years and 100,000 miles it finally has a cabin air filter!
Image
Unfortunately I had to do some cutting to get the best fittment with the AEM wideband

Tony,

Is that pressure sensor for the boost gauge? Did it come with that little inline filter?

Yes sir, electronic boost gauge. And yes the filter came with it, as well as the sensor. Awesome price. Highly recommend prosport gauges.

Lovely BL. Lots of nice parts. Unlimited is how I would have gone, but the BP instead. Too bad the market is still very strong for those rare birds.

So I've been bad with updates. Installed front and rear JDM aero spats, front lip, carbon fiber hood scoop and roof spoiler, engine dresses up, STi Genome strut bar, painted the grill and the strut bar, painted the spats.

This picture doesn't have the spoiler or scoop installed
