2001 BH5 E-tune

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys and Gals

 

First time owner of a Subaru, and first time posting so please be gentle. 

I picked up a 2001 BH5 E-tune Legacy (I believe it's RevD) early last year and fell in love with it. Since then I've been trying to do cool mods on the cheap and subsequently I picked up a front lip off TradeMe (for a whopping $25) and have been prepping it with rattle cans to get it mounted. I tried test fitting it this weekend only to find that it seemed too small to correctly hook around either side of the bumper around the wheel arches and where the bottom fog lights curve in. 

 

Am I right in thinking this is due to the RevD front bumper being different to that of a standard BH5 GT? 
Has anyone tried and succeeded in fitting one if this is the case?
If not, do the RevD's have a specific front lip and would anyone like to sell me one on the cheap?

 

Thanks.

Welcome

From my bad memory the Rev D BH (which you have - you can tell by the different headlights) bonnet and lights are different, unsure on the front bumper though. Looks to me the same as my old BH bumper. 

Nice looking wagon, love the rims

Thanks everyone for the compliments I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far but always looking for the next step. 

 

EZLip looks super easy and is great to know as a back up plan. 

 

The car only came with the passenger door monsoon, managed to source a driver's door one at a Subaru Spare shop in Hamilton. 

 

Pics of the lip as it currently is below, sanded back with a good coat of primer in prep for a light sanding before painting it black. I should also point out that the lip has been plastic welded back together after a crash I believe, really hoping it didn't get shorter in the processOAv7KJA.jpgShLQfZo.jpgG8HYK0E.jpgjnr2BQG.jpg

Theres a silver plate on the passengers side strut tower, look for a line called "applied model"

 

If it starts with bh5d, its a rev d. Bh5c is a rev c. Easiest way to tell. If theres no silver plate there, check the firewall above the brake booster

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
