My 93 Legacy

Ok so here's the Wagown,

what it looked like when I got it

here's how it looks now after I've had a few months with it

some of you may know a little about the car but I'll give it a full run down again
93 Legacy L with STI Version 4 drivetrain swapped in
STI 5 speed with RA close ratio gearset
STI Carbon fiber front strut bar
rear strut bar (don't know name)
JDM oil cool that came over with drivetrain
Syms equal length headers
Syms divorced downpipe
full 3" exhaust to magnaflow muffler
JDM power folding mirrors
JDM glass headlights
TD-04 turbo (stock wrx)
walbro 255 fuel pump
STI Aluminum control arms
Unorthodox lightweight crank pulley
STI Oil Cap
WRX top mount intercooler
WRX brakes front and rear
KYB struts with Eibach springs
04 WRX hood scoop

when I baught the car it was running like crap, I knew there were fuel and tuning issues with it that the ECU and engine just didn't seem to match up, also there were a few electrical and wiring nightmares that weren't done properly.

I took the time to fix some of the wiring for stereo, replazed the faze guages with autometer and took out the neon and black lights inside the car. I also cleaned up some of the rust spots on the car and did a little repainting to hide some of the bad spots.

I have also now added
WRX seats (JDM STI Spec C seats on the way)
Momo Course smaller suade steering wheel
Tein Super Street coilovers with pillow ball mounts front and back (height and dampening adjust)
Rota Slipstream 17" gold rims with stock STI Bridgstones
Legacy GT front bumper
Vibrant front mount intercooler
HKS SSQV Blow Off
VF-30 turbo
Hydra Nemesis stand alone EMS

Items to be installed in the next week or 2
Subaru 4 Pot front brakes
HKS Turbo Timer with LED shift light
Stewart Warner EGT guage

What did you do with the forester wheels??

sold them a few weeks ago, I've also got WRX rims with winters but I'm looking to trade the WRX rims for any 98-01 RS rims

Lot of well-thought out stuff.

Why the bigger hood scoop with the fmic

That's looking nice and sounds like it's going together well too. Good work.

Sorry for the side - you live near a wind-farm? Having never actually seen one but having learned a bit and personally thinking they're cool, what are your thoughts/experiences?

the bigger scoop was put on by previous owner when he did the swap because there was a WRX intercooler put on, I just changed it to front mount a month ago after seeing how much the temp change made a difference at the track, 13.4's and 5's until after 10 and the air cooled off a bit and hit my 13.2

no I don't live near the wind farm but it's about 5 minutes down the road from my Grandparents, there's about 60 of them along the shore of lake Erie just south of London, Ontrario, I just thought it would make for some good pics

Makes sense---check out the thread on reversed scoops under chassis and body.

Nice times

What boost are you running

Almost Hip · Post by **Almost Hip** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 8:37 pm

yeah I saw Nico's posting on that, gonna leave the scoop, I'm all about looking of "the pattened Subaru power buldge" - Tiff
and it gives the car a look of agression,

right now I'm only boosting to 15psi, I keep blowing my charge pipes at higher psi in 4th and 5th so for now that's where it will stay, I've got more t-bolt clamps on the way to help things out as well as welding some larger beads on the end of the piping to give more to clamp on to, so once that's settled I'll be aiming for 17.5 psi!!!!

He'll probably say the XT. I think the Legacy did because that's when Subaru started to take off in the world of cars.
