Awesome vid! So rare to find vids on these cars. I have a BL5. Its a 06 Legacy GTR (yes...GTR, was a South African limited edition model fitted with Prodrive Performance Pack from factory to commemorate Subaru's 10th year in SA) My one is one of 13 ever made and one of only 3 that were 5MT in Arctic Pearl white. Love it/Hate it for the past 4yrs lol. Currently up for sale as its also time for me to move on to something new. Sad part is....they dont sell for much as compared to the Impreza!
FM RADIO FREQUENCY RANGE can easily be changed from the Japanes 76 to 90 to what you need which is 88 to 108 using a frequency adaptor - some call it convertor and its easy since you plug your aerial input onto this small box which easily fits behing your radid and you then plug the out of this box into your coax radio imput. These FM converots are easily available from joom or ebay or amazon and prices is about 15 dollars.
About the seat belts. All you need is some silicone spray - just a little and spread it on the underneath side of the sea belt since on its way back into its place, it has to make and creaze through a 360 degree turn!!!!! which is hard since the texture of the belth is tick. Hope this helped. Same is true for my C Class Merc and it worked.
Dude I hate the radio as well, I was also looking at the JDM double din swap but when you add the price of the adaptor plate to the price of a double din its like $700+ easily! I'm sticking with my bluetooth iPhone connector
In my 04 legacy I had a storage compartment between the ac vents above radio(looks like you have a gps or something there), chopped the little door for compartment and got a bracket to hold aftermarket stereo in there. Looks mint, not sure if some legacys come with it like that ,my 06 legacy was like that when I bought it but I just done that to my 04 legacy myself and now I have 2 legacys with good stereos and subs. I hope that made sense only downside is having oem stereo still there but eventually I want to take that apart so it's just ac and put gauges there or another cubby who knows
@@lance5266 Ahhhh, yes that makes sense... Interesting. I may have to to try that as my GPS up top is all in Japanese and doesnt have Canadian maps. Im not going to lie, I have thought of this before but didn't know if it could be done with the stock stereo unit still in there. Some gauges down there would be pretty sweet on yours! Thanks for sharing.
@@JWheelie have a go, I did some digging last night and some legacys came with a single din cubby and a clock where that gps is might be able to dig around and find one where you are, only hard part was making that bracket for my second one but it's doable and I'm a noob
there are FM EXPANDER for the Radio .. For Bluethooth, USB and AUX Connection .. you can buy the YATOUR BT Adapter ^^ for the Belts u can use Silicon Spray on the Belts ;) - i did everything of this ^^
@@JWheelie I had the same problem in my Legacy H6. Seatbelts get dirty and oily over time and that's why they do not retract. I washed them and it was massive improvement. But you have to wash them really well - I soaked them in almost boiling water with like 5 different soaps and washing powders and brushed them really well - repeated three times. And they look like new and retract without any hesitation.

Cool, you can tell everyone you drive a GTR ;)
The equal length headers sound sooo much better.

I'll have to check those things out
Before having watched this, I guarantee the 10 hour spark plug job will be in here
I can’t BELIEVE that didn’t make the list
That is one thing that is super annoying! Good thing its not super regular. Hahaha I didn't even think of the difficult to replace spark plugs
Actually, that exhaust note is sweet.

And does that silicone spray leave and marks on your shirts when your are buckled up?? If this works, I'll have to do it on my legacy and my e46!

Isn't that crazy... I couldn't believe how expensive they were!

That exhaust note. I love that Man.
there are FM EXPANDER for the Radio .. For Bluethooth, USB and AUX Connection .. you can buy the YATOUR BT Adapter ^^ for the Belts u can use Silicon Spray on the Belts ;) - i did everything of this ^^
Just saw another reply those said to use silicone on the seatbelts. Does it leave any residue?
Awesome channel and very happy to support it!
You are so kind!
Th JDM Radio: Get yourself a 18mhz-band expander from dominoelectronics.
That will get you up to 108Mhz
Oh thats great, I didn't know there was such a thing. Thanks a bunch, just looked them up
@@JWheelie Is there a way I can contact you, could give you some help with the Legacy :-)
@@jonarne85 For sure, that would be great. jaimenwilliams11@gmail.com
I currently live in Japan and I own a Spec B. Love it 🙌🏾 enjoying your videos !
NO WAY! Not only the JDM car, but the Japanese Culture as well! Thanks Rai, appreciate you watching.
was it difficult to import and insure it in Canada?
One thing i (dont) hate, is that my car now makes ear piercing bangs and shoots flames. 😂 I also kinda made a video on how to flash the jdm ecu
Just checked it out, nice flames! I'll have to check out the ecu flashing again because thats so foreign to me. Take care
You need to do a ez30 swap
is that a gen 4 or gen 3? looks like a gen 4 did those come in twinscroll or is it swapped?
Gen 4, twinscroll. Gen 3 was twin turbo.
If you put unequal length headers on it would it give you the classic subie grumble?
It would, but it will basically make the turbo work like a single scroll
Could you tell a wheels size?
Thought you might have been here in Manitoba before I saw the plates
Nope! Alberta, are you guys getting snow right now as well?
@@JWheelie yup, been on and off but looks like it’s here for good this year
You chose a poor muffler for sure it sounds a bit cheap
what exhaust system you using bro
Fujitsubo catback, full catless
Gotta clack the feet or you are gonna hate how wet the floor mats get!
Not only wet, but also DIRTY.
Still own this car? If you sell or part-out lmk.
Yes, I still have it. Will do
Do you know what's the name of subaru in russia? Boo-boo-boo-knock-knock-knock-700USD for the ej20x from japan - boo-boo-boo
My seatbelt is just like yours... Annoying
Yeah, what the heck!
