turbo #1

1991 turbo legacy (auto to 5speed swap)






turbo #2



and a face pic for ya




i got the grey car because my red car broke a gear and i needed something to drive around and not worry about as i have been driving my dad's STi legacy wagon around and my dad issued a nice long verbal warning if i harmed it in any way there would be lots of bodily harm inflicted upon me it's not the best looking car but it works great so far. and of course, it will not remain stock. so far i've put the 3 inch exhaust from the red car on it and i picked up some 2.5gt wheels at the junkyard for a couple hundred bucks that i want to put on, and the WRX top mount from the red car is going on it along with a vf10 (just to make the top mount fit without too much trouble) and a few other things here and there.

and the dog's name is "turbo" i got him at the end of november. he's about 15 weeks old. he's a chow/rottweiler mix. i just thought i'd share him with you guys, he loves sitting in cars when i'm working on them and has to be right by your feet if you're under a car.

Both turbos are cool.

You only paid a grand for the grey one eh?

If so, mad props, looks good!!


Come down to Salem and hang out sometime mang!!

yeah, it took a bit to get it running and looking purdy, but i did it there's a primer patch on the fender that i need to fix still. thanks man!! it will be for sale as soon as i get the red one up and running good.

hahaha, yeah.... with my school schedule and work that's prolly not going to happen..... its hard for me to get to art and laurels house but if i can make it happen, you know i'll be there. hehe

congrats on both turbos man, which one do you like better?
BTW post some pics of your dads wagon, If I remember right you said it is a pre-face?

hmmmm, its tough to say

here's my dad's car. its a 1990 legacy LS with a V2 STi drivetrain. its lots of fun

On the Leg sti--what size wheels and brake discs

Very cool!!!!!

looks like the subaru 4 pots in the front and 2 pots on the rear so i imagine they are 17's maybe 16's with a offset that clears the brakes in the front

i have the same brakes on my car, i use 2.5rs six star wheels and they work perfect.

did you purchase that grey turbo leg from Frantic Four? it looks an awful lot like my old one...

haha, it is my old one, I forgot to remove my BCC student parking pass...good stuff

16" wheels and stock WRX discs up front and i dont know the size of the rear ones off the top of my head, but its the Factory 4pots/2pots like gt2.5turbo said.

no, i bought it from the guy who bought it from frantic four after you. he tried to do a 5speed swap but couldnt get down the wiring part of it and it wouldnt start after he did the swap, and a whole list of other things, so now its my drive-around car while i fix/upgrade the red car. but yeah, it is your old car

does it still have the pimp neon lights i put in out of boredom? haha, that was the greatest waste of like 3 hours on a saturday, i even put a switch in on the dash for those.

i dont know, where are they at?

the knock out panel to the right of the steering wheel is where the switch is, the lights are under the driver and passenger's feet
a friend got them for his car off eBay, figured out they required more work, so i got them for free, spent like 8 dollars on random parts, if they're gone I'm highly disappointed! not really...

yeah, they're not there, when i got the car there was no carpet and most of the interior stuff was gone......

so i found a PART of the lights, apparantly the previous owner wasnt down with neon lights

so i scored some sweet wheels/tires today and i put them on the new turbo.

so picture these

on the grey car. i'll get some pics of them on the car but they look sweet, now i just need to drop it a little

I like the color of yer new Turbo...


The dog is sweet too...I want one

tell me how those rims look, or better yet...pictures please
