legacydh Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hello all. So, I've had a 98 Legacy GT wagon for about 4 months now and would like to share my progress, problems, hopes and dreams with this wonderful group of enthusiasts. Here she is, for the most part, unmolested. http://i.imgur.com/eN1hv5v.jpg First, I'll give a run down of the parts that have been added since this photo JDM headlight conversion Raceland coilovers Gropu N motor and transmission mounts and pitch stop Whiteline steering rack bushings Ebay UEL header Custom (read: Meineke) 2.25" exhaust from headers to Vibrant muffler Tribeca 25mm FSB Whiteline front end-links Slotted rotors all around, ceramic pads Front and rear strut tower braces (Ebay) MSD coil Hella supertones 4 extra fogs (2 in bumper and 2 in grill) NGK plugs and wires "Big 3" upgrade How she sits now: http://i.imgur.com/LTcVdAK.jpg http://i.imgur.com/S6Lzt0Z.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6XPPrwI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1ggr6Fy.jpg This coming weekend the snowflakes come off, the fenders get rolled and pulled, and some Kosei TS-1s go on with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s on them. Can't wait. The car is my daily driver and is a pleasure to drive. So far, I'm happy with everything that is done and I'm within spitting distance of completing the list of mods that I wanted. Only thing left is RSB and some window tint. Hope you like my wagon. More pics and Autox action to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boattlebot Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 How big are the foglights behind the grill? Wagon looks amazing btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 nice, can you move the horns closer together at all? and you should def. hold out for some clear sidemarkers-those would look dope on this color scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacydh Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 http://imgur.com/od221r2.jpg The fogs behind the grill are 5 1/2" and the ones on the bumper are 6" Unfortunately, with the bracket I have, I'm unable to get the horns closer together. The clear sides are en route from Vermont, so good call Zeus. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zues Marine Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 They are chrome turn signal bulbs..they glow amber.. probably wont last as long as normal bulbs but tihs is pretty much a form>function thing if you dont mind replacing them every 8-9 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff98GT Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 How is the handling with that Tribecca sway bar? I'm thinking of doing that as a budget upgrade, but concerned about understeer with such a thick bar. Car looks great. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacydh Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 How is the handling with that Tribecca sway bar? I'm thinking of doing that as a budget upgrade, but concerned about understeer with such a thick bar. Car looks great. Good job. With the beefy front there was definitely some understeer, but it was still better than stock. If you upgrade the FSB it is highly recommended to upgrade the RSB. I noticed that with the coilovers, the understeer is close to gone, at least in comparison to stock. I have a Whiteline 22mm RSB on the way and will update accordingly.

Zues Marine Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 That 25front 22rear is the setup I'm running also, its pretty awesome you will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacydh Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I feel it's also worth noting that the steering rack bushing upgrade is the biggest bang for your buck, in my opinion. Of all the upgrades it was the most noticeable change. Turn in is sharp and precise and it really improves the road feedback. My favorite mod, probably. The unsung hero, you might say.

More info on this or is it hidden in the stickies? Or is it just a new bushing? If so where do u find them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the stickies and yes, it is a replacement bushing. You are removing these rubber ones for sweet yellow polyurethane. I got mine thru Whiteline.com. There are 2 options and I got the wider of the two, 35mm I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
