chikmagnet Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Already well I guess it is about time I start my build thread. So a quick glimpse into my vision. I used to own a 2005 bright silver metallic Legacy GT sedan. I really enjoyed that car but not the monthly expense so I decided to sell it. Originally sent I was bought that car I was looking for a LGT Wagon, but they were almost impossible to find at the time. So now that I had the ability to spend some time looking for one and doing some research I decided that a Legacy GT Wagon was not the best option as they still have a very high premium on them. So I decided to go with an Outback XT. What I want out the car. I want it to be quick but doesn't have to be the fastest OBXT. I want it to handle well on the street and maybe a little aggressive driving in the mountains and twistys. I want it to look clean and distinctive. I want a nice clean all around stereo. Last but not least I want a nice driver, whether it be a trip out of state, drive to work, or out to a trail to ride my mountain bike.

Rhitter Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have the same color OBXT, but a 2008. What are your plans? Mine http://i.imgur.com/PvfVdfu.jpg?1 My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chikmagnet Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Oh, lots of plans! I am waiting for my Coilovers to come in so I can lower it. Also going to go full stage 2 with turboback exhaust, intake and a dyno tune. I already got my wheels Rota SVN 18x8.5 hyper black I really like how yours sits what all have you done to it? -Josh Herrera -2007 DGM OBXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thank you! Good choice on those wheels. I think they will look very good. Wheels are on my eventual list - thinking power mods first. Lowered on Bilstein shocks with JDM Rev C wagon springs. Used a .75 inch spacer in the front and a 1.5 inch spacer in the rear to lift the car back up a little from the Legacy GT height. LCA bushings (whiteline and Avo), Group N engine and transmission mounts, Steering rack bushings, Kartboy short throw shifter and front bushing, whiteline rear diff inserts, whiteline rear sway bar + avo reinforcement brackets, Grimmspeed master cylinder brace, Legacy GT rotors and calipers, stoptech pads, and Crytune Stage 1 tune. The RSB made a huge difference in how the car feels. The stock one is weak and noodly. Debating going Stage 3 (BNR16g) this summer, just need to rationalize the $2.2k expense. Looking forward to seeing how your car turns out. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinkly Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 jeebus, 2.2k expense? I guess if you don't have stage 2 goodies it might add up to that. and wish I had the same color, but beggars can't be choosers! i'm just happy I got a decent color manual OBXT within the 08-09 model years... nice rides, everyone * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
