Looks really good. That's the front end that I have, so of course I like it better than the other ones. I hate how yellow our headlights get. I cleared mine over the winter, and one of them needs it again. I can't wait to do a retrofit on this car. Yellowed fluted plastic will be gone.

Yeah, you can see through the other pictures, but
man...turned out good You kept the bumper and
made it pretty freakin close. Impressive.



Retrofit from what?

I installed an 04-07 wrx/sti replica lip. Looks similar to a chargespeed type 1

Finally got the new suspension in the leggy, eibach springs on 04' STI struts with 1/2" butt spacers in the rear. Its pretty much the perfect stance!

put an MSD coil on a bracket where the AC compressor would go. Also grabbed MSD custom wires. Such a PIA to make! Car seems to rev faster and has more power off boost. Was it the coil, or was it the fact that I swapped out old ass plugwires and coilpack for fresh ones? Either way I'm happy.

Got a replacement crank pully and key from the junkyard today, from a '95 L. Get home and the timing gear took two hours to ger off and it broke during the process. Great. Now I gotta go back tomorrow and get that too, and I had it in my hand but figured I could use mine again. I had to use a dremel and cut the key up on my sedan, and that wasn't the hard part. It seemed like the timing gear was epoxied to the crank considering that I had to use wedges to take it off. What a pain in the ass.

I like diesel's wagon. I like the wheels a lot but it would look better if the front were lower.

I picked up another Legacy last night. It's a 91 NA Wagon. Fully loaded, sunroof, power everything, it could be nice. But there were dogs in this car something fierce. Interior is all chewed up, smells like nasty wet dog. It needs a deep cleaning for sure. I might actually swap the whole interior out of my turbo wagon into this one. Mechanically I'm thinking a rear diff and a clutch, front seatbelts need replacing too. Definitely some new struts toward the top of the list, it's like driving on a waterbed.

Anyone have good luck with the Raceland coilovers. I know their stigma over on NASIOC, but something cheap is what I'm looking for. I'd like to lower the stance a bit and make it look good.

For just a DD they would be fine.

That thing looks mean. I like that lip too
Didnt know they'd fit. No cutting involved?

i only cut the ends to fit about 1.5" off each side

nice stance.

whats the wheel specs and tire size?

custom made stock 16" steelies widened to 9"
tires are 225/50/16 yokohama s drives
I'm going to slam it once I can get new collars these ones are frozen solid

Looks slick, man. And custom made rims?

What's the offset? Do they clear the wrx 4/2 pots brakes?

I never measued the offset but they clear my willwood 4 pots just fine

those steelies look better than most aftermarket wheels.

I agree... They look awesome.

What year lip is that?

Changed oil/fuel filter/air filter.. Maybe swapping out my current power steering pump soon. Basic stuff I'm getting out of the way before a decent trek out of state in the wagon-- Performed admirably hauling my mattress and canoe the other day.

Also, cleannnnned out the car.

Well after starting at 10am and ending at 2am we got a lot done:

TD04 swap
Invidia v2 dp
Invidia q300 catback
Sti motor mounts
Replaced all four struts, springs
Replaced all pads and rotors
Upgraded coolant tank and relocation of many hoses
New spark plugs
Valve cover gaskets
Oil change, coolant flush
Manual boost controller

It's sleepin better than ever



Sent from your bathroom closet

Monday - Mike and I went to various Pick and Pulls and grabbed a front and rear sways
Wednesday - Test fitted the front sway
Thursday - Sways sent to be powder coated

Got my sways back. Hopefully they'll be easy to install. Should be next Friday.

Sarted prep work on the hood of the 90 and would show pics but photobucket is being dumb. Tired of looking at the peeling clear coat so I am painting the hood, roof, and the trunck black to give it that tuner/track look. On the trunck I am going to give it the SVX two tone look.

Looks good man
