finally got a couple updated pics post swap

so nice

I LIKE. VEARY CLEAN

Nice strut brace. How did you get the strut covers to fit on top of that brace? When I tried to do that the bolts weren't long enough to hold them in place once the brace was installed.

mmmm, reverse manny.. Like. Full ej257 jake?

Nice! There's nothing like the legacy of a sexually transmitted infection.

^^ LOL

there is just enough threads to keep them in place but they do wiggle around a bit.

LOL, she's rare like gonasyphaherpelades

So did you do a crazy harness merge and keep the stock dash?

You live too close to a military base to think that sh*t is rare.

Car looks amazing. Nice numbers, too. You were gonna take me for a ride, remember?

I want a ride too!

only pre facelift i like lol

Very nice Jake!

If I do another motor, it will be an ej257 motor.

Sweet Jake looks killer in Red! More info on how you did the EMS.

Looks excellent!

yes indeed. The harness was merged with a STi harness, runs an 04 STi ecu and an accessport and i also managed to sneak in a JDM STi gauge cluster

If I Was into the Legacy for it's looks , I think I would do a Pre-facelift front with a Post-Facelift Rear end. I Love the Square look . Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

which mishimoto rad are you using ? and does it fit perfect i keep getting these leaky rads from koyo and mishimoto

its a universal fit radiator, required lots of modification to make it work but its about 3" narrower to accommodate fitting between the intercooler pipes

i see now i seen mishimoto on the front and was thinking it was a new sti rad and wanted to see if it was holding up, im on my 3 rad now from them.
