Here's my brighton (It doesn't have the roof racks...) http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/greenie/IMG_20170415_064638488_zpsu6xwo3b2.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/greenie/IMG_20170417_080728112_zpswzgfti8w.jpg

I've had a set of JDM 2nd gen lights sitting around for years since I sold my 98LGT. I haven't put them in my wagon because while it's a completely rust free car from the south, it was never cared for and it's a complete pile of shiet. My girlfriend's car is actually pretty nice, she always complains she can't see at night (who can blame her with those horrible stock lights), so I remedied the problem. http://i.imgur.com/8Ths07l.jpg

The beater. The interior is trashed, it's dented, scratched, smells bad.... Put WRX seats in it (thanks SlowIsFast), balljoints, front brakes, and a clutch. Not bad for a $700 car with no rust. Oh yea, and threw on the wheels from my late (crashed) forester.

Subaru in its natural habitat...

I've never seen wheels like that before, they're cool!

Almost 2000lbs of stone in the outback. Poor thing.... http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/0802140948_zpsa5abd5a3.jpg

An oldie of my outback. The only subaru I have now is a GL rusted to the point of not being drivable http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/purpy/IMG_1257_zps63d9982f.jpg

Ehhhh, it had a 2.2 swap with around 200k miles on it, so that's not worth a whole lot considering I can get a 2.2 block at the local salvage yard for $40 (frequent flyer discount ) Tires were worth maybe $350, suspension only cost me $225 on rockauto, etc. I live in an apartment right now going to school, 100 miles away from my shop. So it would have had to sit until December and I really could use that $800. Anyway, I'm done with EJ subarus. I love EA subarus so I'm gonna keep building my hoard of dual range transmissions, clutch type LSD rear ends and Peugeot wheels

I'll have to snap one at some point. When my forester got totaled it had brand new tires, struts, springs, and brakes. I really wanted to lift her legacy and put better brakes on it, but alas the insurance company wanted $800 for buyback... Which is ridiculous. So I had to let it all go.

Yep, I'm having a hard time getting used to that T word. Torque, I think you call it? I still have an old lifted GL, so I'm not totally checked out of the subaru world Oh and my fiancee has a 98 legacy wagon with a 5 speed that I've done a lot of work on. I should post a pic of it in here.

Welp, someone crashed into my forester totalling it, so I bought a wagon that isn't a subaru I still haven't taken a single picture of it, here is the glorious CL ad picture. http://i.imgur.com/6XUmHx2.jpg

The only thing your av is missing is a cat, it needs a space cat in there somewhere... Ok content, my wagon hates me. http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/0802140948_zpsa5abd5a3.jpg

Also, you have the best avatar.

Try posting some content next time

This is still the best thread on the forum.

I don't care about auto vs manual or engine status. All that is fairly easy to fix/swap to better parts. Even interior is a minor point, if the shell is clean the rest can be fixed.

That's a sexy wagon. I had a black 98 LGT sedan, and I'll always regret selling it, only an LGT 2nd gen wagon can replace it I still have my JDM headlights waiting on a shelf for the day I buy another 2nd gen...

My wagon being ugly, but I can see where I'm going at night! http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/purpy/IMG_0319_zps59b55cbf.jpg

For the a rally car I help work on (hi dan) we bought 4x8 sheets of HDPE. It's a hard plastic stuff that's pretty resistant to rocks and rally debris flying around. Covered everything is the rear end to protect gas tank, axle boots and whatnot from rock spray. On the front there's an aluminum skid plate, you can buy them online. Same thing for the legacy sedan and wagon. I see a lot of cars putting HDPE under the entire car to protect the underbody so the metal doesn't get dinged and scratched up, it's a lot easier to replace a bit of plastic than the floor. The stock fender liners suck, they're thin plastic that loves to get ripped out, so we replaced those with HDPE as well. Some good pictures to look at here of what one guy did http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?p=348561&sid=6f336994d9c7acebeb9f959aff98f372#p348561 When it comes right down to it, every rally car is different. The best way to find out what works for you is talk to some people, go play around, see what you break, prevent it from breaking again...

Well, you can use any 02/03 wrx suspension in it. It's a direct bolt on. So pretty much anything where you see a wrx getting suspension, wheels, and brakes upgrade, the same applies to your legacy. Or if you want you could just get outback struts/springs, that'll give you an inch or so of lift, then you can run bigger tires, etc. Honestly, rally cars aren't lifted as much as you think, if at all. Lifting too much causes shitty handling so they'll run a whole bunch of underbody protection to keep from ruining the car driving over rocks

If you want it to be functional, I suggest a lift.

You know Mike Gale?

That's farking amazing. I love it!

I love my wagon, too Not sure if it loves me back... http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/purpy/IMG_1257_zps63d9982f.jpg

I'm sure it does. I have to drive two to four hours to get to rallyX events.
