Prodject legacy
parts legacy
beater legacy
black legacy
red impreza rs

maybe i'm missing one...

[stevo911_]

I only knew about the white and black ones as far as legacy's are concerned :p
then theres also the MG and the trans am :lol

[la.reina]

rofl, ridic.

PS Steve, nice picture of the tree stump blocking way too much of the sexy car.

[Splinter]

I'm back from the mainland!

The shop who did the initial breakin totally fucked it up, so Ive got low compression in 2 cylinders.. I didnt bother swapping out the turbo for the bigger one either.

At any rate, these aren't excuses because I really dont need any, the car did awesome.

Keep in mind this is an UNCORRECTED dynodynamics dyno. A stock STI will put down 215whp on this dyno (been proven). So assuming the same drivetrain losses, that means Im putting around 360hp out at the crank.

High 12 second daily driver, for a total cost of $17,700 including the tuning.

[Evogun]

So when you wanna race(at the track of course)?

Thanks;)

And gravel?

[TurboRay]

Just to hold the "i know shit about subies" card, i have a question?

How strong is that trans. Its the weakest link right?

BTW nice numbers! I was stoked when you text that figure.

[mcnab]

Were you the one ripping through the parking lot @ Sound Advice on the Island Highway today with this car? If so then I spotted it :twirleye:

[A-Dev]

YAY! she did better then i thought she would!

i miss the sound already :(

remember you have to come over here at least once a year for DTP ;)

:lol Sounded pretty good tho. What were you getting Jesse to do on it?

[Splinter]

Car alarm.

And just showing him. He built a sub box for the red RS that'll be going into this one now.

[pheonix165]

gunna get the car appraised?

[Splinter]

There will be additional insurance coverage on it yes.

[pheonix165]

they can void any coverage you have because the car is not registered as a turbo is all i meant.
getting the car appraised is just the easiest way to get through most of the obstacles if anything should happen to the car

[boxeraddict]

The engine looks like it is on life support with all the tubes and piping and stuff :lol


So when can you start doing that to mine? :D

[Splinter]

Finally got some decent pics.

The fitment issues on the hood and bumper are because of the front mount, and the charge piping.

Im hoping to resolve that stuff soon.

One of the previous owners has a shop that did some work on it.

RH motorsports or something.

Its going away as soon as I can find some thermally conductive paint

[zixian]

Check your cold side charge pipe where it is coming up from the intercooler. It is in contact with the metal and over a few weeks the steel will grind a hole in the charge pipe, use a 3inch rubber grommet! Other wise it will take forever to find the boost leak when one occurs!

[tetsuo]

:thumbsup: went for a ride

[metal]

^Ditto wooooie

[Fleemer]

Does that model legacy comes with an sti motor or something? I'm not too familiar with the subaru family. Looks like a sweet ride, I didn't know subaru made such bitchin coups. (that SVX makes me gag)

[Splinter]

Its an Impreza, not a legacy :)

THey came with an STI motor in Japan, this one was swapped.

So how much of your icbc money have you thrown away on cars now?

[Splinter]

Not much really, I still keep my ear to the ground for good deals, and Im in the process of selling several now.

[Fleemer]

icbc money? :P

Wow, does the two door outpreform the 4 door or is the 4 door more balanced..

anyway reguadless, sweet ride :)

[Splinter]

I got an STI badge too, but I have to finish cleaning off the glue from the old badge before I take a pic of that

[fletch]

followed you on the highway going out to langford on saturday night around 5, first thing i noticed was the 3 bright green gauges in the middle of your dash, looks pretty slick! I like the exhaust too, you were playing around a bit, there was traffic but i saw some boost :P
thumbs up, I like that generation of impreza and yours is awesome!

[Splinter]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v622/SplinterFTJ/stealthintercooler2.jpg

Painted the intercooler, put in the brake vent dealies under the indicators, and Im trying to get the front bumper to fit properly

It means Im going to lose my foglights, but thats ok.

[Fastam]

Ohhh i want, Thats my favortie subbie body style.

[Splinter]

Much better!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v622/SplinterFTJ/stealthintercooler4.jpg

[pheonix165]

are you going to fill the holes with sti fog light covers or just leave the massive gaps?

definitely improved fit

[Splinter]

STI Fog light covers, eventually

[Splinter]

Bling!

[JD35]

woah hot!
what are the specs on the wheels?:drool:

[84GLI]

Nice wheels Steve!! I hope the offset you got is wheel bearing friendly!

[Splinter]

Nice wheels Steve!! I hope the offset you got is wheel bearing friendly!

17x10, +25

Using suspension from a newer impreza to give me about another 30mm of track on each side, then it's off to Protune Motorsports to bring out the fenders the rest of the way.

Wheel bearings are easy to replace ;)

[Victoria SiR]

Sweet, another project you won't finish. Grats.

Dude buy a house or something.

I don't understand how a car can be 'finished'.

There's always more you can do.

[Splinter]

Just in case anyone is paying attention, it's still coming along.
