Hello everyone I am on a few other forums and have had subies in the past... My last subie was an 04 sti making alot of whp till I blew a ringland and got rid of the thing for next to nothing... I picked up an 03 G35 coupe to drive around after that and now just recently picked up a 95 Subaru Legacy L awd for $400 in fairly decent shape with 181k on it!

The subie is about to get a make over with some parts I had kicking around from the sti...

I have two parts cars so right now it is an auto but soon to be a 5spd (well as soon as it warms up!).

This weekend I will be test fitting some wrx bronze rims that a friend has and either running those or picking up a set of mesh style 17's for cheap. I also have a set of wrx springs that I was going to cut a coil out of but I might just grab some coilovers instead since I have a lil extra cash and want to keep this thing around for a bit.

I help out with a group run site that is based off drifting, photography and hd video called slidewaysproductions. I love to drift but I am out of the game due to a back injury that I had a few years back and can't hit the track till that is fixed.

Pics of the subie and of my toy G35 (yes I drive it every snow storm and love it!)

Agreed, sick G! And it seems the dogs already like the subie, good luck with it and welcome to SLi. You should keep a look out for our regional meets this spring/summer in RI.

I have some interesting plans for it... I kinda want to keep it low key so I don't give the cops another reason to follow me around (they love my g35 lol). I was looking into the ej20tt but when I saw the swap comes with no ecu I decided for a few $$$ more I can get myself a jdm EJ20G swap with almost everything. Its gonna be awhile since the people who would help me on this are pretty busy doing a few sr20 swaps into 240's, a S12 KA-t swap and an sr20 into a toyota cressida...

I will start a build thread once I figure out exactly what is going to be done.
I modded the stock grill and will be testing out some wheels today. I have been looking around here for a few weeks to see what I like so hopefully it will be something interesting. Again its not going to be crazy (maybe low) because I want it to not draw attention.

Thanks for the responses... lol subie guys usually hate the low and stretched look I like... BTW the g35 is only dropped 3 inches in those pics... it normally sits about 4.5in from stock...

A decent amount of us aren't biased and like only Subarus. Most of us like a little bit of everything (I'm one of them). I like the look of slammed cars, but couldn't own one with the shitty roads, plus I wouldn't make it in my driveway lol

I live in Maine... Not like we have good roads. I actually drove it from Maine to Florida and back with stretched tires and 4.5in drop last winter, it was fine except for the holes in NY. Kinda the reason it got raised up...

anyways picked up a few parts today so ill start a that thread as soon as my other stuff comes in the mail next week.
