...Oh no man, I hope they survived the journey. It's definitely a hard find...

I didn't bring them with me. I blame itr1334 for distracting me with all his car projects.

I recently found a set local, I'm hoping they are in decent condition.

hahaha #mistakesweremade

fingers crossed that they are legit!

Hoping to see some updates!

Soon soon.... My world has been busy!

Here are some long overdue updates on the R. I've been playing with my subarus way too much and have clearly lost sight of the R for a bit, but everything happens in its own time.

Got the gas tank installed, hunted down newer straps, valve, and covers. 98-01 GSR valve as well as their covers are the same.













after hunting down LCAs w/ ABS sensors, I installed some HR/Roca T/A bushings, painted them up and got the spoon rear shocks installed.







Next was sorting the T/A's themselves


oem "BBK" + CSR rotor



moving in sections, the task was sorting the heat-shields, visually I couldn't leave them untouched









getting closer to the starting line, I had a choice to make, stock exhaust, or one of my all time favs. Win win IMO.



realizing I was missing a RSB somewhere in the timeline, (I'm also after the USDM Trunk brace/bar. NOT STRUT BAR, and rear LOWER Tie Bar if anyone has them for sale.) Thankfully it didn't set me back much.


after


waited a long time for this special order of bushings and end links to arrive.









Todays shenanigans will end the updates. Installed the trans brace and shift linkage.

I saw your classified post about the trunk brace, did not realize the JDM brace was longer, curious to know which one I bought a few years ago to put on my LS...

Were there no issues with pressing out and pressing in the new bushings on the ITR LCAs? I got the impression that most people seemed to avoid that job and bought new LCAs instead (problem know with them being discontinued...)

Yeah I thought I had one but it turns out, I have the jdm one. A friend of mine was building his integra rep, and the bar I helped him put on fit in the holes of the rear panel template. Trying to find the shorter bar has eluded me.

as for the rear LCAs it was a PITA. I trashed a jdm set getting it right. Even then it's no fun.

back on all 4's

I am thinking maybe you have a four door version? I cross referenced the 98 - 00 as the same rear bar for us in the states. I didn’t check the 01 part number. The Amaya website has a part number one digit off . You don’t have the option to select the doors when searching.

I’ve been putting off buying a bar just because. I may just be bugging out we will see. I reached out to my buddy that we helped and asked him for some pics. So I should have an answer here soon.
