Mod list:

Engine:
Ej22T
resealed engine
VF43 turbo
WRX TMIC (soon to be FMIC)
Apexi power intake
custom PCV lines
Turbosmart BC (eventually will get Revtronix Stage 2 w/ 440's)
3" DP
Borla Exhaust
Full Catless

Drivetrain:
Ver. 4 JDM STi RA 5- speed
SPT short shifter
Exedy OEM clutch
Exedy LW flywheel
4.44 rear LSD from PREracing
WRX rear axels
Royal Purple 75- 90 gear lube for trans. and diff.
JDM 4pot front breaks with drilled and slotted rotors

This is a rear wheel bias transmission so it drives more like a rear wheel car now. It has the potential for a DCCD controller but haven't gotten it yet. its a 65- 35 split right now.

Other bits and pieces:

STi front and rear seats
Autometer boost gauge (20 PSI)
coilover suspension
'05 legacy 17" wheels
BFG high pro tires

Soon to have:
JDM head lights
FMIC
Synchronic BOV
full 3" exhaust
STI front strut tower bar (got it just doesn't fit over TMIC)
H- Brace underneath
GT Spec fender braces
white line sway bars
rear strut tower bar
and some more stuff I'm sure.

Lets trade cars. Ok. Sounds good. I'm down the street. I want your interior btw. How do u sit? I put 06 wrx seats in mine, and i'm in the sunroof now. Grrr. But the seats are so much nicer than stock. Dammit.

haha
I sit high but for whatever reason it's alot better then when they were in my '91 ss. I don't hit the ceiling nearly as much, and it was pretty bad with coilovers.

haha thanks :D
after this thing the top two mods I will ever recommend to anyone is a VF43(or equivalent) and a JDM STi trans. The rear wheel bias is freakin AWESOME!!!

Stockers for now... I have EJ20G heads sitting awaiting valve train rebuild. :twisted: I'll be adding Delta Cam's 272 series cams in place of the JDM WRX factory cams.

Ahhh ok. I'm lookin for someone who has put the 2.5 DOHC heads on cause I need to know what head studs and head gaskets to get.

You can use the EJ25D head studs. As for h/g's that will depend on what compression ratio you want. I believe I have the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that one of the guys put together that allows you to figure it out. It's likley buried on my external hard drive somewhere.

hey Logan, i know i never got the chance to meet you. But im glad to see you happy with my former car. I certainly sold it to the right person whos taking good care of it.

Driving a 98 impreza L instead of the SS really makes me miss her. But commuting 50miles a day made it kinda necessary.
i'll keep checking the boards for future updates. Hope to see some more cool things in the future.

Ya this car has been a lot of fun to work on. next up FMIC w/ synchronic BOV, Electronic Boost Controller, Wide band and then this summer gonna throw some EJ25 DOHC heads on it for some better air flow, then I get to tackle some tuning. Gonna be some fun :D

Impreza seats cause you sit higher in the Legacy interior.

Pretty sure almost every newer Subaru seat will cause you to sit higher in the legacy, unless you make your own seat brackets or get some racing seats.
