Just got my can of Grimmspeed's Subaru STI Cherry Blossom Red! Hell yeah! Time to paint my intake manifold and whatever else with the leftovers!😎

After a lot of patience and time...

95-99 Subaru Legacy/Outback BD/BG/BK OEM parts quick reference. ✌

Holy Grail full of OEM part numbers from an auto repair shop manual. Really hard to find these! Enjoy the complete list of part numbers for your 2nd gen. Legacy build.

EUDM BG5 Legacy (zenki) cupholder delete installed in the 98 Legacy GT.

Requires the OEM bracket. Painted it black to cover the rust.

Ended up with 2 of the factory trim panels. Flocked one and added carbon fiber veneer to the other. Not sure which one I like better, maybe neither.

JDM RS/Type RA wheels looking good with the new center caps, black McGard locks and oem valve stem caps. Almost all the blemishes were covered with the Prodrive gold touch up paint, as well as the BBS letters and lock pattern.

Before vs After

Well rainy season in the bay area has put this project on hold.

Here's Legacy GT's original intake manifold after...

• degreasing/scrubbing/cleaning inside and out best I could

• grinding down casting seams and sharp edges as much as possible

• high output coil pack mounting points fixed

• polishing intake runners (not porting)

• polished and beveled the inside lip of the throttle body opening

• drilled holes in the intake runner's "webbing" for water drainage and possible cooling

I also will be adding these prototype "teflon" 10mm thick intake manifold and throttle body spacers.

Only thing left to do is tape off the holes for the wrinkle red paint job and acquire all the oem o-rings/gaskets/hoses/etc.
