That would be me

JDM XT's like the FSTi run the three piece classic style exhaust and have the same uppipe as the bugeye STi (no cat)

You will find that the manifold/headers are a two piece version as on the UK MY03 XT as against the standard 3 piece setup for the impreza/later foresters

Looking good, I like the bodykit!

The 2.0 XT's intercooler/DV setup is unique with a different flange, as you've found out, to other Subarus

boxerXT

another up-date.....I had my Grill painted from a company called JustCarClinic, but a few days after the paint job the paint started flaking..so went back to them, they kept the grill for a week, then rung me up to say they have messed it up too much and will pay for a new grill, except the new grill is coming from Japan. ETA 8-10 weeks. so i got my old grill back thinking i'll just paint it black and cover the hole......but then the cogs started turning :icon_idea::icon_idea::icon_idea:......

this is how i got the grill



then i cut the middle bits out




then fiber glassed the gaps, bodyfiller, sanding.........



the final result with my new customised white badge

updates.........

detango'd headlights, got my bad boy LED indicators specially made from china



retro fitted puddle lights




then fitted footwell lights front and rear




and finally my 27W LED reverse lights...again specially made....super bright

Coming along nicely.

Where did you source the reverse bulbs and footwell illumination kit?

boxerXT

the reverse lights and indicators were made to order from china. the footwell lights were bought from e bay, they are just strips of white SMDs. just had to make a harness to work as footwell lights

Don Clark

Looking at the indicator LED in the picture the bulbs are like many of the high power cree LED T16/T20 bulbs now available........








Mani, she's (?) looking good

boxerXT

they look like them but the light output is completely a different picture. the e bay ones will make a spot of light on the lens, these disperse the light fully in the lens.

few more up-dates.....

rear 2 pots fitted (courtesy of stembo21)



then painted the washer jets, surprised by the amount of difference they make compared to how small they are.....

black jets



colour coded jets

got my JDM STi scoop

boxerXT

heyyyyyy....update time

early Nov had an incident which left it looking like this


got a wing from e bay for £75, the headlight is a different story. UK headlights aren't XENON, so had to contact main dealer, was quoted £679 + Vat and 2 months. OUCH!!! so got one from Japan my self for about £180 (result)

as it was going to need a front end respray, I had the perfect opportunity for a mod. so started about by cutting the bumper up




stripped off for body shop



bumper being shaped



Drilled out the DRLs



Painted



part rebuild



FINISHED RESULT
