i have rear diff and driveshaft if you need them, looks good so far!

 

I only need a rear diff and transmission but Monterrey is a bit of a trek just to get a rear diff ahah.



Other then that, I have some what lost my motiviation just because of this god damn wiring issue I am having with this car... 2002 and 2003 harness are different, 2002 and 2003 wagon to sedan harness is different, 2002 to 2003 seat belts were also different!! BLAH! I have about 3 1/2 interior wiring harness that doesnt work 100%... Granted I can modify all of them and make one harness work...

 

I wonder who thought it was such a great idea to use a ton of different parts/components? "This is a great idea, lets change it up to **** people off and make things more complicated."

Must be a PITA! What you have so far looks good tho!

 

Took a break from the interior part of the car and started to assemble my transmission with ra gears!!

 

Thought it was a budget build? Did you get a good deal on them?

 

yea really good deal from a buddy who went a different route. And it still is a budget!!

 

Picked up some RA gears and started to assemble it!

 

bump finally got aroudn to doing more work on the wagon. after a few months of the wagon just sitting there I got bit by the mod bug and went to town with the car.

Bought sti front seats, carpet, door panels, sti blue floor mats, 05+center console swap, rear interior complete, installed RA tranmission into the car, installed Prodrive springs onto the car, Assembled the complete motor. Now I just need to buy little things here and there to finish it up!! we are getting close the finish line guys!!

finally getting more work done on the wagon! and picked up a couple more parts for it too!

Things that need to be done:
Install downpipe and catback
install clutch slave and master cylinder
install oil feed line for turbo
install steering wheel
install radiator hoses
check and top off all fluids
install wheels
and hope for the best!

 

Well last night decided to give it a shot on trying to get some work done on the car, All I had to do was double check all the fluids, Installed the wiring harness I made for my jdm headlights, installed the tomei turbo, installed turboback exhaust, put the battery in and primed the motor.

Guess what!! Fires right up!! Need to drain out the 1.5 year old gas and refill it but other then that No check engine lights but still need to work on the little kinks like my turn signals no working, buttoning up the wiring on the interior, fix the wiring for the rear hatch (door ajar light stays on and wipers dont work properly), install door panels and window switches and hopefully that will be all thats needed to finish up the car on my end.

Last step I need to do is to decide on what color to paint the car...

 

Over the weekend, drove my wagon that's been under construction for the past year, drove it about 20 miles without issue then all of a sudden right when I'm in front of my work place, my center differential blows... and notonly did it blow up, it cracked the extension housing...

 

sorry to hear. hope you get it all worked out. Id love to see it when its all done

 

I fixed the transmission that night. Wasn't a pretty sight to see and my wallet also got lighter... weird huh? Lol. It's all up and running now but I think I have 1 bad axle causing a huge vibration issue when accelerating. And after that just needs a tune and paint and it'll be done.

 

Did you assemble the trans? That sucks, but at least up and running again.

 

mmmm....RA. ill be looking for a shot 6spd to run RA in there. deff going to hit you up for some pointers. pretty stoked to get in a transmission to see what makes em tick!
