Hops Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 How about we start showing some older Outback pics? I want to get some ideas for mine... Anybody have Legacy GT wheels on theirs? This is the only one I have available, I'll post more later: http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/Subiefamily.jpg Buy my cars!

Hops Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 looking good. most cars hardly make it past 100k and your well past 200k! good work! I just bought it about two months ago... It has a rebuilt JDM motor (same as the USDM) with about 70,000 miles on it. The old motor made it to 220,000! It was mainly highway mileage, but she took damn good care of it. Original owner, all service records, never wrecked. Paint and interior look like a 50,000 mile car. I got lucky with this one. All I had to do was replace the clutch when I bought it. Buy my cars!

sybir Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I've done a few things to mine... http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/DSCF3317.JPG http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/IMG_0350.JPG http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/IMG_0360.JPG G-forces are off the car, some new hyper black Torques with 235's are in the back of the car waiting to go on and it's rolling on the gold Boosts again. Car has now had 21 sets of wheels and it's been a 7-year project, so you can check my long-winded build thread on my other board if you're curious about specifics, or jsut ask http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 That looks killer! I'm looking to put my LGT wheels on my OB and do an intake, header, and exhaust. I also like those JDM side markers and the front end treatment. I don't want to do too much as it is my daily driver and I have my LGT to play with... Buy my cars!

Hops Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Ok I just saw the pic of your JDM tails... I want those, too! Where did you get those? Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sybir Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The JDM tails are pretty common on ebay these days (used to be much harder, heh). Search for "legacy jdm" and you come up with a set or two for under $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I couldn't find any taillights but I did come across a JDM twin turbo motor... I wonder how hard that would be to do? I skimmed through your thread on that other forum... Did you ever get that WRX motor in? Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sybir Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Long story (very) short, no. Ended up going a different way after my relations withthat shop went a bit south and it went under. I bought this instead (still have the wagon, too) http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/carshoots/sti_parkinglot/IMG_0906.JPG It's now wingless, and has a few other bits coming. Back to OB pics, I'll post when I get the new wheels on the wagon tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Don't know if any of you guys followed the 24 Hours of Lemons race a couple of months ago, but some of the SoCal LGT guys (myself included) campaigned a 98 OB. We killed the motor in short order due to overheating, but we'll be back for the October race. In the brief time we were out there, we were passing everything in sight. Here's the car: http://www.subaruboxer.com/24hours/dsc_0369.jpg http://www.subaruboxer.com/24hours/dsc_0362.jpg http://www.subaruboxer.com/24hours/dsc_0340.jpg http://www.subaruboxer.com/24hours/dsc_0363.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sybir Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 That bumper looks perfect and makes me cry since mine is so hashed I dig the center exhaust, too! A friend of mine was running the XT6 that ripped smoke canisters towards the end of the race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hops Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Outbacking... I found a new development that is just windy dirt roads in a big empty lot with hills and all the fun stuff... Soon to be a new neighborhood with houses. Perfect rally road! http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/DSC01637.jpg Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Nope. The paint job is a great story. In the background of the last pic you can see a sign for L&J Auto Body and Paint. We went over there and asked them for some old remnant cans of paint. Stuff they were planning on throwing out. The owner comes back the next day with about 10 different cans that had maybe 1/2" of paint left at the bottom. Some looked at least 10 years old. One of the driver's (Mike) on our team is a custom painter (Paint by Mike). He does a lot of motorcycles, midget race cars and the like. He took all the cans, dumped then all together and thinned it out. I sanded down the car, gave it a quick rinse and he shot the car. That was the grey-ish basecoat. Then he shot all the little speckles on the car with his paint gun at very low pressure so that the black and white paints would come out in little blobs. All that, including prep, took about 2 hours. The rest of the artwork was airbrushed on. The finished product was amazing, especially since there is about $20 of materials in it. We actually caught a bunch of heat at the race since our car looked too good and everyone thought we spent way over the race stipulated budget, which we did not.
