NoOne1223 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) My "Slow Burn build"/shopping list. Will not be updated regularly, but will do my best. List of plans in no particular order: - 350 Wheel horsepower goal - HID/LED all around - Paint (Subaru paint codes, undecided on colour) - JDM Body kit (Hipposleek/Cyber-R/Damd hybrid) - Water sprayer for TMIC - Wheels (Sparco Terra in Gold) - Sound deadening and audio upgrades - Catless Up - Turbo Back exhaust (might go full custom) - VF52 and supporting - Spec-B rear end - Coil-overs - Aftermarket seats (current ones suck) - De-chrome everything that is chrome. - 6MT or sequential manumatic swap - Brakes. (willwood or JDM import, might do a brembo style CTS swap) - Bushings - Damd wheel/paddle shifter with tilt/telescopic and audio controls mod - If I can pull it off, Black upper section swap for the interior. Two tone isn't my thing - Horn. Not doing the usual Hella Horns or train horn. Doing a boat horn instead. - Tinting of windows and replacement of OE windshield (not a fan of blue strip at top) - Power folding mirrors - skidplates for entire bottom of car. - Mudflaps - Brake master cyl. brace - Steering angle mod (to make the turning radius smaller...) ~ To be continued as I figure things out. Gonna be an expensive journey. Will post pics of my car soon. Edited June 24, 2021 by NoOne1223 Corrections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne1223 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 The car in question. My 2005 Legacy GT. Made in early 2004. Drives wonderfully Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Vf52 won’t get you to 350whp. "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Agreed, VF-52 with injectors and fuel pump can get you to ~300WHP, that's my setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne1223 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Okay. So, 350 crank. That's still a good amount for a daily Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shralp Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Yup won’t hit 350 to the wheels with this but a number is just a number, it will be fun either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It’s a solid and proven setup. Just pointing out that if your goal is “350” then you need to rethink the strategy laid out to get there.

NoOne1223 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Well... This build died... turns out the car has structural rust, and body shops wont touch it. there goes my first car.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne1223 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Opened to post this. MTO here is going to look at car. Depending on what they say, this may turn into a chassis swap and build. going to be interesting. But, there is a chance I may not have a gen 4 LGT anymore as well... Thanks for all the info, and this is a great community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne1223 Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Well, car is safe, aside from lower rad support. Gives Creedence to a JDM front clip. This will be an interesting build! Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne1223 Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 Painting part of the car this week or next week. Going with Plasma Yellow Pearl since I love the colour, and it will be unique! Probably doing the wing and tailgate, or the hood first and going from there.

NoOne1223 Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 I'm not dead! Thankfully! Well, been a while since I've been here. Got the rear wing painted and mounted, but since then I've broken my propshaft in two separate places at the same time, now I have a wheel bearing on the way out, as well as a leaking passenger side valve cover. Currently looking for a midpipe and my dash is starting to go sticky. On the dash front, anyone have any ideas as to how to carbon skin it, or other solutions? Might message madrig (love his work, if you see this, great job on everything you do! And would love some tips on making custom parts) And, paint. Any tips for painting a car without access to a booth or garage? Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty9 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 And, paint. Any tips for painting a car without access to a booth or garage? Yeah, don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOne1223 Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Well, turbo died. Hoping it didn't take anything else out with it... Cars at my mechanic until Monday when I can get under it with them to find out what happened. I'm hoping it was just the turbo and nothing else, but only time will tell. I'm in contact with JMP, and he is a godsend for me since his rebuilds are still cheaper than the rebuild I can get here in Canadaland! In other news though, I've been working on my grill (most recent photo is not accurate to how it actually looks now. It's almost done), installed some Bilstien front struts, and am trying to find spacers for the rear struts to install them. So, things are taking 3 steps forward, and one back. Now to rise like a Pheonix and learn more! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or find a friend with a garage and use it for a while. Who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORULZleggy Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Before you try to make some power you might want to make sure that engine is in good health. No reason to for 350 crank and then have to buy a new short block after. don't worry about the HP, make sure the torque is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod knock. I spent some time on the net trying to help him source a shortblock/longblock, whatever is around. He’s in the same city as me. Not much in our area, unfortunately.

May have worked out a deal on an 07 Spec.b though! Here's hoping it goes to plan, ESPECIALLY because its in budget! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
