FlatBrokeStatus98 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I have decided to start posting my thread here as well as my page on Facebook. I am not sure on how much i will be posting here but i will try to stay as updated as possible. If you want to follow my build more follow me on Facebook @ FlatBroke Status Alright. So i acquired my 1998 subaru legacy about 6 months ago by trading my 1985 toyota celica supra for it. Main reason for the trade was because i was moving and needed something bigger to help move and well. the supra was fun and all but has SO MANY PROBLEMS! Anyways back on track. It was bone stock with an ej22 and only mod was it had a set of Raceland Ultimo Coilovers on it and was sitting very low. Now i love the low and stances life and needed a bigger vehicle as well as i have a soft spot for wagons <3 haha so we signed the papers and traded! With my move things started off pretty slow so i didn't get much done. i bought some racing seats and swapped them out for the old, boring, front seats and fixed the broken exhaust a little bit. From there i was just using it as a daily driver and wasn't planning on doing much until……. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatBrokeStatus98 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Got the seats put in! Utilized the stock brackets for now and just welded on some cross bars to allow the new seats to bolt on. I will be making new, lower brackets later because the seats sit to high still http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b484/Daniel_TreyJack_Knippel/10525974_10204081114165681_1442244910826470140_n_zps91f40999.jpg' alt='10525974_10204081114165681_1442244910826470140_n_zps91f40999.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatBrokeStatus98 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 so today was a very sad day I had my car impounded and went to pick it up and take it home and the motor locked up. The tow truck they used was not a flat bed and they shoved the wrecker under the car and cracked my oil pan. I did not notice until it was to late :'( http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b484/Daniel_TreyJack_Knippel/10592863_10204197293550093_4401870983114627059_n_zps1a5ebfaa.jpg' alt='10592863_10204197293550093_4401870983114627059_n_zps1a5ebfaa.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatBrokeStatus98 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Since the Subaru is down i decided to pick up another means of transportation.

Going to GY6 swap and stretch it. http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b484/Daniel_TreyJack_Knippel/10612616_10204294601582733_2416804848605965053_n_zpsda21df76.jpg' alt='10612616_10204294601582733_2416804848605965053_n_zpsda21df76.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 So the widebody will look pretty cool but.....can you actually drive around at that height? My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBrokeStatus98 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yes lol might take some skilled driving but I've done it before! Just have to watch where your going haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I can appreciate the work you're putting in here. It definitely is coming along! I will say that I witnessed a stanced BMW driving the roads around here spewing sparks, burning its tires due to rubbing, and pretty much using the road as the bump stop. I couldn't do anything but wonder at how terrible it had to be riding in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBrokeStatus98 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 My spring rate on my coilovers make the ride not to bad. As for clearance with tires I wont be rubbing and ruining tires that bad. Ill scrape everywhere yes but that part of the low lifestyle. Side skirts might get torn up but I paid $20 for them so im not to worried lol. Exhaust will be tucked up as far as possible and a skid plate will protect my oil pan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
