Is that flat black?

Nope, super high gloss :wink:

Should look sweet with a wet sand and a drop.

[Dip]

Didn't know BD looked that good flat black.

Can't wait to see the Tein Flex installed and that thing dropped

no lie, your car looks like a chalkboard. I want to see the SHINE =]I dunno. I'm actually kinda diggin the flat black on that car. I think it needs different wheels to go with the theme though. just my.02. Looks like a fun project :cool: Can't wait to see some finished outside shots.

It needs some 18" Subaru rims painted flat black

those would work

[4n70n1n0]

nah, I say gun metal snowflakes, or the 5 spoke rs wheels or paint those wrx wheels gunmetal. no need for anything bigger then those, just a nice drop

ok maybe 17's but that's it

i agree it does look like a chalkboard. But people get out of my way and 2 stage paint is way to fancy for me.

Besides I hate clearcoat and shine.

Painting them flat black in the spring.

so what parts of the suspention can be use from an impreza on a 99 legacy, as far as controll arms and swaybars?

As long as your 99' legacy is a BD/BK/BG chassis code you can use anything from a pre-2002 Impreza. Every suspension compenent I have is 93-01' impreza (GC chassis code)

Just look at my parts list. Most of its is documented and should give you the info that you need.

Some parts are universal, some are 2002+ impreza parts modified to fit. Most are pre-2002 impreza.

BUMP.

FUCK! Read the first post!

Man that sucks that it's totaled. Hope you can at least salvage most of the custom parts that weren't on the front end.

-JDM projectors = ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-GT Hood = mangled
-Group A Crank Pulley destroyed.
-Clear side moulding lens obliterated.
-all my maintenance items listed at the top.

Survived:
-Sti rad cap
-GC Carbon Fiber strut bar
-Fender plug
-Group A Pitch Stop
-Optima Red Top (located in the trunk :-D)
-GC 6-spokes (possibly) need to get them balanced.
-Exhaust manifold
-hi-flow cat + 02 sensors
-B&M STS + bushings
-Everything from firewall back

Chuck, dude, I'm so sorry to hear this. 6pm must not be a very good time to dive a Legacy :-(

Good to hear you're OK and walked away with minor injuries though. Looking forward to your new plans, keep us updated.

[Airgne]

damn glad your ok. so im not going to drive around 6pm.

[chuckthefuk]

Thanks guys.. Rush hour...the small window of time when people really don't pay attention...

:cry:
Went to inspect the car some more today after I finished getting some more x-rays. Block is cracked :cry: Tranny is seized :cry:

Howthefuk chuckthefuk?!?!?!? Obviously a serious collision at a bad angle too.



Glad you're ok. Now shake it off and come back brawlin! Can't wait to see the upcoming project (of course when you get better) and it's progress.

My dad and I decided to measure the frame for shits and giggles.. we both knew that since the airbag went off its officially a write off but i do have a spare front clip. Is it worth it? How far gone was the car? On the drive side the body shifted 2.25" back. Passenger side over 5" back. Epic fail..

More pix added to first post.

Never even made it to ROTM :cry:
