Holy crap... talk about a lurker!
Nothing for 3 years, and then you reappear with a bad-ass swapped turbo wagon!
If you ask me, that serves as testament to the massive amount of information available on this forum... that he can get enough information to build that car just from following the discussions in the background.
Not to take the spotlight away though... definitely a lot of work. An awesome-looking car and a very clean build!
Any numbers, dyno, ΒΌ, otherwise?

The discussions are very helpful... I try to post on occasion but I'm guilty of lurking as well. Thanks to this forum, though, I consider myself somewhat of a 1st gen Legacy expert 
This is a beautiful car! We need more updates and more pix!

Awesome car. Pretty much exactly what I was going to do a few years ago minus the roof rack (because mine doesn't have it).

Wow totally sweet and out of nowhere. Very nice wagon. I will be hopefully tearing down mine or the sedan soon. Just need hard to find stuff. Very kool kudos to you.

Thanks for the positive feedback!! the car is a blast to drive, it does need more power for my tastes but that will come. theres nothing more fun then attacking a windy twisty road in this thing, it sticks to the road like glue and the big brake setup stops brutally hard....
no numbers as of yet, id like to do a base run before i swap the injectors and maf and turn the boost up.... im guessing 225-240 wheel.....but who really knows. i REALLY need a perfect power, ive got cash in had if someone has one for sale!
this was a fun car to build, alot of differences between this and the 20 some odd turbo hondas ive built and tuned, plus my own 500hp Accord.
im probably going to buy a new D2 coilover setup in the spring, since my tanabe sustecs are pretty old and starting to get weak...that and try to repaint the car to get rid of all the dings and dents, and at the same time try to graft a 05 legacy GT hood scoop into a stock n/a hood, for a little extra touch lol

Fantastic work. A very nice transition and the new wheels look a damn site better than those chevys.
Thanks for sharing.

Mike, I think the Alpine models are supposed to have an engine block heater. I asked the guys about it when I had it in the shop this weekend, and they checked and it wasn't there. Is/was the block heater on your motor?

whoa, that's sick! I have a Ti and an Mi
Mi's have the block heater, it works so-so... I get in the car and drive year round, don't usually warm the car up, and I noticed it definitely made a difference, warmed up in about 1 mile instead of 2...
I want to ej22t my Ti... want to help? lol

Nice build. You definitely know what you're doing. IMO, it has a clean, sleeper look w/o a scoop.
BTW, what do you do w/ a 500hp honda? Other than burnouts?

The Tanabe coils you ordered what car were the coils actually made for. i really like the stance of your car. And were they a direct bolt up?

cleaned the car, threw on some 18x8 wheels, painted calipers, blacked out chrome trim and tail lights.
