Gigs Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Started the day with a tint ticket in the Legacy and then the Wrx blew a power steering fitting. But it ended well with a few friends , together we make the Axis powers http://i.imgur.com/CiP6ItL.jpg http://i.imgur.com/GJX2TzB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Qpg4m5o.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wv4Ufqf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/v82nU7S.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that Maser, a 3200? I didn't think any were left on the road. LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatentWagen Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Its a 2002 Coupe with a 6mt ! Sorry fat fingers here, 4200 not 3200. Don't think the US ever saw the 3200. Awesome that it's a 6MT. I sold Masers for a while, and I never got to drive that car without the car-ruining Cambio Corse transmission LW's spec. B / YT / IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigs Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Spring has arrived , time to also fix the power steering and do some minor service on the car before track days in June.

Gigs Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 I have not really updated this cause I have not really driven the car at all until this weekend due to not having power steering , needing service and switching to a new job. turns out the high pressure power steering fitting had came loose and once tightened it works once again ! Other items that were taken care of this weekend include a complete timing system overhaul with all new oem parts and an STi performance timing belt. Today a bunch of us with Karting at Kart 2 Kart in Sterling Heights and my friend Brian brought his 911 along. http://i.imgur.com/wMbG5Ly.jpg Up next this week is some exhaust work , oem Sti short throw shifter installation , Bosch 750cc injector installation and a few suspension tweaks before the upcoming track weekend at Gingerman raceway on June 9th. http://i.imgur.com/UHhCPuA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SSyIRDX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/k0uj49h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SxD7Foa.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigs Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Did some more service items at a friends shop during the holiday. Sti steering wheel , fixed the exhaust damage from the exploding driveshaft and installed taller 8 inch springs on the TIC SST coilovers. I also ordered tires for the RCT4s this morning and should have them on the car this weekend ! http://i.imgur.com/Au3FJz1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yabjJO2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lpZPrjA.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigs Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Brilliant license plate, lol. How much did the sedan body conversion cost you? Quite a lot , fixing all the other rust and body issues cost more than a used bugeye but it was worth it. That is why I am so hesitant of doing things to my Legacy , I would rather find a nice shell to build the ultimate LGT daily driver. Brembos S402 parts 5AT or 6mt EJ20X/Y Billstein HD suspension 2003MY STi Spec C 17x8 +50 wheels Just a comfortable wagon to drive around to work with adequate torque to surprise all the local Chargers. I also kinda want to build a BMW E39 M5 wagon clone with an LS3 / LS6 in it. Knowing my history I will go overboard with either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigs Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Well, should the day come that you ever want to sell your wagon, let me know. I would likely be interested. I will keep that in mind , First things first is I have to put a an interior back into it and get it ready for mid ohio in two months. Legacy keeps on chugging along to work averaging 20-22mpg sadly. Good news is there is no oil consumption on the 5w30 Motul Eco energy , I will be interested to see what the oil test says when I drain it at 4000 miles. Neither of my Subaru's consume oil which is making me suspicious , Girlfriend also got a brand new 2017 Crosstrek which is actually really nice. http://i.imgur.com/gYMzqH6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF1GG29 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Neither of my turbo Subarus consume oil either. However, my 02 WRX leaked a bit of oil from the turbo return due to a tube that lost all its elasticity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigs Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 So for my birthday I decided I am going to head on down to Mid Ohio for a monday track day with 3balls racing. Things that need to be addressed before then go as follows Fix ACFront pad swap titanium pad shimsbleed brakes replace shifter with the oem STi short throwTune the car with the 750cc injectors TIC master cylinder brace Install oil temperature gauge Things I would like to have in addition to the above Upgrade to a larger oil cooler core Install Oswald front crash beamSpec C roof ventNew Falken 615k+ tires in 255/40/17Brake ducting using Corvette ductsInterior back in the car , Preferably black interior as I hate the blue bugeye interiorAdd some sound deadening in the cabin so its quieter at highway speeds and driving around town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
