  1. Got rid of my 300 SRT8 but this my new permanent ride 08 Legacy GT. Bought it about a year ago with a blown motor. Was supposed to be a project car until i found out how fast it could be. Since it needed a new motor I went ahead and just ordered a new one. While everything was out i went ahead and put in a stage 3 clutch, fp green turbo, cool air intake, and front mount intercooler ( preparing for a bigger turbo). After doing all this for power I figured I should step up the brakes with new pads and rotors (front/ back). After doing all this the springs in the back broke destroying the rear struts. Once replacing them with factor OEM parts(struts) and a set of J&S lowering springs the radiator blew. I had to remind myself i did buy the car with 120k for miles. My buddy bought it off a lady with only about 40k and he did the rest before blowing the motor himself. I replaced all the above parts myself, I luckily have a lift in my garage. The major motor work was done by ESP. Once the car was running well I began to really play with it since I had other cars to drive at the time. Doing this I first broke one rear axle trying to launch it. Replaced both rear axle with new ones myself. You would think i learned a lesson but I did not Another morning trying to launch it i blew out first gear which put her back in the garage until needed. Was able to find a used tranny (LoL) from Canada with only 90k miles (its also a 5spd so it took a while to find). Now that she is back up and running strong. Time to smooth out the ride and get rid of squeaks/knocks that I can. Then finish the minor outside body work I want to change (front bumper/headlights,wheels). From that point everything else under the hood will have to be a secret!!! Right now she is putting down a lil over 400hp!!! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
