robsontuning's Gunn Shot 2005 Legacy GT project

[robsontuning]

This can has changed so many times since it was purchased now about 4 years ago I could not count. I have divorced my wife that the car was originally designed for. The car is with me back in PA with my son and I want the car to have no ties to the old designs so I am starting over from scratch.

The goal of the car is the following.
1. Drop a build Tribeca 3.6L in. This engine is already ordered and should be here within the next week or two.
2. Completely gut the cars interior and weld in rollcage. The car is gutted for the most part and I am now removing all of the airbag harness.
3. Converting the car to RWD only. Still have not decided to build a strong Subaru tranny or convert to T56. I have already found a company that can make the proper bellhousing to mate to the 3.6L.
4. All metal widebody. This will include the front and rear fenders. Nothing fancy more functional.
5. 17x10" minimum width wheels, leaning towards 17x12 from SSR at this point.
6. Most important to me is the pink paint job will disappear and never return. Leaning towards a flat black with a little Lambo Orange which goes with the cars sponsors colors. Here are a few pics of the vehicle.

The following parts are already ordered and on the way.
1. 3.6L longblock
2. Team Orange steering wheel from Japan
3. Ksport quickrelease hub.
4. Ksport Hydraulic handbrake with SS line kit.

This will be a slow build since I am working on finishing my website and am a single father. But I am not in a hurry and the car will be done right and be crazy as hell.

[redlegacygt]

i've followed your builds/rebuilds over the last couple years and you never dissappoint! always something different! lol Sorry to hear about the divorce, but welcome back to PA, and since your only in hershey, hopefully we'll cross paths at some meets!

[robsontuning]

^ Thanks, but I am more then happy with the divorce :). I filed for it and have full custody of my son. Now I hope in the next couple of years to get my step-daughter back and then everything will be perfect in life. The car will be crazy when it is done, but it will take alot of time since all my money went to attorney fees and also to paying to get the website complete. But to me it will be worth it in the end.

[Reason]

I followed some of your earlier stuff and thought it was great... Weren't you doing a turbo BD not too long ago? If you are interested in becoming a vendor shot me a pm.

[robsontuning]

sounds good.

[1996Battlewagon]

Good lord, if that car could talk...

[robsontuning]

^ I think it would need lots of therapy and would probably feel violated

[robsontuning]

Decided today to just go ahead and do a harness and ECU swap while I was at it. I thought it would make inspections a little friendlier. So I now have a complete harness and Tribeca ECU on the way.

[robsontuning]

Added the Tribeca fuse boxes to the harness and just ordered the service manuals for both cars. Also my Ksport order should be in this week.

[robsontuning]

Removed the front fenders, headlights, sideskirts and the engine back wiring harness today.

[redlegacygt]

awesome!!

[robsontuning]

Removed the harness from the cab today. I got the new harness in the mail, but it is missing a large section, so I will be dealing with than in the morning. Also got the ECU in :)

Still waiting for the service manuals for both vehicles. I don't expect to have them till next week :(

[robsontuning]

Harness is completely removed from the car and the interior has been cleared out.

Tribeca ECU is a perfect fit.

Test fitted the Ksport E Brake

[httrdd]

Nice H6 project you have there. That baby is going to haul ass. How much more HP does this make compared to my yet to be finished Eg33 swap? I will be following this build!

[httrdd]

BTW you going to stay N/a or going to turbo that beast?

[robsontuning]

Not staying N/A. I am leaning towards a supercharger. I want to see if maybe I can make the factory GT500 charger work in the proper position on the intake manifold. Not sure yet.

[httrdd]

Nice idea! I hope to see you around.

[robsontuning]

It is going to be awhile. I want to do the project right, so I am going to take my time and piece everything the way I want.

[robsontuning]

Quick day today. Pulled the front ABS sensor and the half shafts, so bye-bye AWD

[Reason]

Oh this is going to be RWD?? NICE

[Perdue]

This will be epic.

[robsontuning]

Got bored so I pulled the factory fuel tank. Thank you Subaru for cross threading more then half of the bolts for the rear end :(

[Reason]

What are you going to do with the gas tank?

[robsontuning]

I am going with a race fuel cell

[Reason]

Oh so you are making this a track car then?

[robsontuning]

actually it will still be used on the street also :)

[robsontuning]

Pulled the transmission this morning and order a different steering wheel after I got the bad news that I could not get my original choice. Also ordered the Sparco hub adaptor. So hopefully next week I will install the dash again and the steering wheel. Also the service manuals should ship out to me tomorrow, which is also holding up progress.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/04/P1020649-1.jpg

[redlegacygt]

damn you work fast.lol this thing is gunna be sick!

[robsontuning]

Yeah, but now I am to the slow point. Waiting on parts, selling parts, and designing parts :)

[httrdd]

What are you selling? I have a guy I work with that has a 05 LGT and looking at moddin it. Let me know what ya have!

[robsontuning]

actually just about everything is stock parts.

[robsontuning]

Test fitted the engine today. No clearance issues. Lots of parts should be here next week and I should be ordering the new radiator and fans this week also.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/05/P1020653-1.jpg

[robsontuning]

Don't hate me too much, but when I found this on clearance I grabbed on. It will not be the primary shift knob. But since the car is going flat black, with Lambo orange it works LOL

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/05/P1020659-1.jpg

Pretty neat and not too ricey! Just say it helps make sure you are in the right gear at night.

[robsontuning]

new steering wheel and hub arrived today :)

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/05/P1020664-1.jpg

[robsontuning]

Got the header gaskets yesterday. Ordered the power steering pump and Tribeca gauges today. Should be here next week. Steering wheel is also installed now.

[robsontuning]

Tribeca gauges should be here tomorrow, plus the powersteering pump. Also the Mishimoto X line radiator and fans should be here tomorrow and at the latest Friday. Also I ordered the Bride seat mounts today. Now I just need to pick seats LOL

[httrdd]

Moving along quickly yet you have great taste!

[robsontuning]

yeah, but it is getting slowed down. I get to spend another 5-10 thousand projecting my son from his mother. :( It is worth every penny, but definitely slows progress LOL

[robsontuning]

Mishimoto X radiator came in today :). Test fit the radiator with the new fans :). Pulled the motor back out. This weekend I should be cutting on my signed dashboard LOL. Also installed the new power steering pump.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/05/P1020680-1.jpg

[robsontuning]

Finally had a chance to work on the Legacy for about two hours. I removed the parts of the door cards I will not need. Also started trimming the dashboard for the Tribeca gauge cluster.

i saw that 3m mixing gun on Stacey Davids Gear's show... it def. look awesome! lol

[httrdd]

Awesome man keep up the progress. Still deciding to street it?

[robsontuning]

Yeah it will be street legal :)

[robsontuning]

Transmission is now on its way 3rd generation Dodge Viper T56 :). Also order the wheels tonight. SSR 17x10.5 0 offset front and 17x12.5 rears with the same offset
http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/ms1r_151617.asp

[Huffer]

I may be the only person to note this, but you are doing all of this in your front yard, on the grass?

Kudos for a mad spec build, but isn't security an issue for you?

[robsontuning]

No security issues. No crime and if someone is stupid enough to tamper with it I have a loaded Benelli M3 Super 90 full of slugs :)

[httrdd]

Lol keep a cover over it though!

That is a sick tranny! That tranny bolts up no problem or are you going to have to fab an adapter plate? I like the wheels they should look pretty slick with some low profile tires.

When all is said and done this sould prob be around a $40,000 - $50,000.00 build huh?

[robsontuning]

Yeah I need to get another cover, once I start the actually installations the car will be moved to a more secured area.

The transmission will have to get a custom bellhousing made. That will probably cost me what I paid for the transmission LOL. But the end results will be worth it.

I had $50,000 in it already with the last couple of builts and purchase of the vehicle. Yesterday alone cost me $4200 and that is wholesale :(. But I am taking my time and this car will be insane when done.

[httrdd]

Are you being sponsored? I am guessing that 4,200 was not for that tranny? Lol. You are buillding something amazing that will feature your car everywhere. Lambo killer, Ferrari killer, and one day Bugatti killer! I really need to see this car when it is done!

Oh and dont forget to update the "what do you do for work thread" cause the money you are dishing out for this is crazy! OK I need to stop drooling on my keyboard.

[robsontuning]

No the tranny was 1875 to my door and the wheels were the rest. The goal is over 800lbs of torgue to the rear tires :twisted:

I have some sponsors, but I am doing 90% of the spending myself. Sponsored by Mishimoto, Underground Graphics, DEI, Grillcraft, Ksport and I can't remember a couple. Always looking for more LOL

[robsontuning]

Transmission arrived today. Dodge Viper 3rd Generation

[httrdd]

Wow man how did you know that this tranny would work? Love the daffy duck stamp on there! ;) Nevermind wrong generation.

[robsontuning]

It will not work the way it is. It will be getting a custom bellhousing made and then will have to get more work to make it link with the drive.

[httrdd]

Yea I knew you were doing that I was wondering how they would match up. I guess a tranny fitting depends on the bellhousing.

[httrdd]

Monthly update????!!

[robsontuning]

Sorry for no updates, but have been too busy with other things. In January the transmission will go to the shop to get the bell housing made. I did pick-up another project today. A 1990 Subaru Loyale coupe :) Plan on using it as a commuter till the spring and then start building it for rally-cross

[chuckthefuk]

Sweet your still alive and kicking.. I cant wait!!!

Post some teasers just to keep us happy :-p

[robsontuning]

I should have some pics with wheel fitment before Christmas :)

Wheels are here. I hope to do a test fit on Sunday.

[robsontuning]

Test fitted the wheels this morning. Looks like I will be widening the front at around 4" and the rear around 5.5"

Uh... rollerskate anyone? :D

[robsontuning]

when I am done it will all fit under the new body.

[httrdd]

Going wide body with this beast huh? I like the looks of those wheels.

[chuckthefuk]

this brings tears my eyes.. such crazyness .
-Chuck

[02_Legacy]

wow thoes are some wide rims, I can't wait to see how the wide body turns out. I looks like you are doing some good work with this leggy. Keep it up. :smt023

[Reason]

I love how you think outside of the box...

[Matty2Hotty]

+1 on some wide body needs! Neg camber can't help 3"s lol

[robsontuning]

Wheels are at the powder coater and the project has yet again changed. I have decided to drop the 3.6L into my Loyale with the Legacy 5 speed. The Legacy will get a 3rd Gen Viper motor with the Viper transmission I already have. I will start building the exterior in a couple of months and will post pictures of the wheels the second I get them back from the powder coater.

[Reason]

Oh shit lol nice!

[httrdd]

Wow that is a change. About 15-20 for a motor? Can't wait for updates.

[robsontuning]

Actually the motor with ECU and harness can be fetched easily for under 10. What made the decision is I like the Loyale coupe so much and want to screw it up also LOL

[Cervantes]

thats going to be insane...

[httrdd]

Awesome. How about placement? What modifications have to be done to fit that motor. I doubt it just bolts right up.

[Zac]

I want your job man

['Buru in the Burgh]

^ +1

[robsontuning]

Awesome. How about placement? What modifications have to be done to fit that motor. I doubt it just bolts right up.

No I am sure there will be nothing simple about fitting it. One nice aspect about the switch is our Boxer motors are all low and wide. So width will not be an issue. It will be length. I do not have the measurements for the dimension difference but I expect the nose will have to be lengthened just a little. But it will all be worth it. The goal of this motor set-up will be minimum 800hp on the back tires.

[httrdd]

Wow! Suscribed (I should of done this already)!

[Reason]

Looks like Girodisc will have competition in the never done before department lol

[redlegacygt]

i just love the fact that there's two guys giving the legacy some serious love. Could you imagine if they did a project together??? Our heads would explode...

[robsontuning]

It will get done. But being a single father running a business working full-time and going to school full-time leave minimal free time. I will have the exterior completed this year and have everything to make the Viper work this year. The car will be running next year at the latest.

[02_Legacy]

This is probably one of the slowest projects on here (i'm not calling you slow, I understand that this will take some time) but this is probably one of the best, I will always be following this build thread.

[robsontuning]

Just got my first images back from my powder coater of the wheels. Most will hate them, but I love it.

Painting the car white or red? Should look good!

[robsontuning]

actually that is orange on the wheels. The car will be primarly blue with white strips and this orange as the contrasting color

Can't wait to see the final product.

[robsontuning]

Welder is order and the materials to start on the body are ordered. I need the other tires mounted so I have true measurements for the body mods LOL

[chuckthefuk]

yayy!!! updates!!

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

I can't imagine what this car is going to look like when its finished. I will need to take a drive and find out where you live. lol

-Chuck

[02_Legacy]

what are your plans for it?

[robsontuning]

LOL, This will get the parts that were originally going into the Legacy. So the 3.6 with the 5 speed will go into this car.

[chuckthefuk]

Then what motor is going to attached to that sexy viper trans?

-Chuck

[robsontuning]

Viper :)

[chuckthefuk]

http://cday.atypical.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/OMG-Face-150x150.jpg

[httrdd]

I think he means he is selling the trans. Bummer that is not going into the LGT. Xt6 should be fun I just don't think putting an expensive engine like that in that car. Maybe a Eg33. Good luck with whatever you do with it.

Oh btw what is going into the LGT now?

[robsontuning]

No actually I am keeping the Viper tranny and mating it to the 3rd Gen Viper motor. Already have it in Lay-o-way LOL. Should have it here by the fall.

[Reason]

Thats is going to be an awesome project car!

[robsontuning]

That is the reason for the huge tires and wheels. More traction! Once the car is running it will get torn down again for a short time to twin turbo. Goal is 1000hp back tires

[chuckthefuk]

Viper :)

Wow this is going to be epic.

[robsontuning]

It should be fun. The plan is to build the body this summer and fall and then do the mock-up for the motor and having it running hopefully by next spring and then off to paint

[httrdd]

How much do you have to extend the engine bay to fit that V10? A lot of work, but it will be good to have a one of a kind Viperoo.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

No actually I am keeping the Viper tranny and mating it to the 3rd Gen Viper motor. Already have it in Lay-o-way LOL. Should have it here by the fall.

WOW! I wanna see this! What's your plans for the H6 that's in the old car? Did it run?

[robsontuning]

Haven't done much measurements. The radiator will be relocated for sure.

The 3.6 is perfect with minimal miles and will get dropped into the XT6

Projects take time.. And this is no ordinary project..

[robsontuning]

Sorry for not posting in such a long time. Between work, Gunn Shot and being a single dad; time is short LOL. The Legacy has gone very slow because I have been purchasing the equipment to do the body work. Also the XT6 has had many of its parts ordered this week. I now have the seat mounts custom made for it. I order the Sparco seat, the rest of the Tribeca harness. The stage four clutch came in this past week and the wheels will be here tomorrow. The tires are back ordered until at least next month.

My new welder got here a couple of weeks ago and my hydraulic table should be here next week. Sorry but both projects will take a long time. Like I said time is limited and my son of course comes first :).

[httrdd]

Yea man i hear yea. I am not going to be building along side of you though. I am dropping out of Subaru. Time to grt back into muscle cars. Good luck and i am sure that baby will turn some heads and snap some necks!

Yeah, sorry but a family emergency has just added to the line of delays that have slowed me down. I am in the process of getting the materials so I can start the work on the widebody. I did get the brakes for the XT6; so that is one more thing done.

Got a little time today. Pulled the rear bumper, the tail lights, and the fender liners. Need to get the materials and more welding gas and I should hope to start cutting this week.

Glad to see this project is still alive!

[robsontuning]

Yeah I am happy to get some time back on it. I was going to put the front wheels on also, but I traded my brakes and still had my front rotors sitting at work. So i would not have the clearance I need. We will have rain the next two days so probably little progress for now.

[robsontuning]

Gunnar is playing COD 3 so I got a few minutes to work on the Legacy. Front wheels are on now.

That is going to look amazing!

[MonstarMotorsports]

You cost me a lot of money a few years ago with your pink legacy. I still havent forgave you lmao. But glad i finally found a build thread on it and get to talk to the person behind it. never knew it went threw so many changes. cant wait to see the fenders done. I will not be showing any current or future girlfriends your car again how ever..... lol

[robsontuning]

^ If it helps the car will not be pink when I am done :)

[MonstarMotorsports]

that will help tremendously lol. Pinks the sole reason you fucked me over haha.
Love the car though! this is too exciting

[ElbryanWolf]

What are you going to do about the door gap? There's quite a level drop between the flared fender and the rear door, I'm guessing the same will happen with the front door...

But that's besides the point... nice build! :)

[robsontuning]

^ Not really sure what you mean. This is just the start and none of the lines are set in stone. Plus I will build onto the back door to match the rear fender flare. Also the front fenders will be a different design and will be a little easier to build the way I want. Of course the fender is moved back from the original position whey I pulled it out the almost 4-5 inches. So that length will have to be made up. That is why I purchased a 4x8 sheet of steel to do the fender work.

[ElbryanWolf]

^Nice :) That's pretty much what I was asking! So you had hough this through before flaring :) So it won't look weird but almost factory made :) Keep it up mister!

[robsontuning]

Yeah looks like great weather sofar for this weekend. So I hope to get the right fender closed up and into its final position.

[chuckthefuk]

[robsontuning]

Yeah it sucks how this got delayed by so many things. Sad to say by my own doing with the purchase of the XT. But to do the XT right I need to get a rotisserie to take car of all the rust issues. So I put that on hold and went back to the Legacy. I also am thinking about getting another 3rd gen RX-7 in the spring as a daily toy until the other stuff is up to being played with.

Hope to have some updates this weekend.

[httrdd]

Wow cant wait to see what you would do to a RX-7! Love those those things.

[robsontuning]

This has been a crazy weekend. Started my Saturday finding out that someone in California has made a copy of my business CC. So I started the morning dealing with that. Then got the rest of the materials needed to work on the car. Came home to rain. Then when the rain cleared my internet went out so I spend god knows how long dealing with Comcast about the problem. So Today I finally got to work on the car, and then got delayed by the guy that came and purchased my trailer. So I got very little done.

Got the top piece welded in and my templet made so I can start working on closing up the front. My filler should be here in a couple of days so I taped it up again so I did not have to sand all the primer off.

Well my body filler came in today. We will be short staffed at work tomorrow so I may not get the chance to get my tile and paint thinner. But if I do I will start doing some finish work on the top piece.

[robsontuning]

Weekend did not end the way I like. Got some time yesterday to start working. Made the template for the door trim that I was replacing. Cut my new piece pulled out my welder and started to us it only to run out of wire after about 5 spots :(. A friend borrowed my welder and my mistake for not checking my roll. So I order more and will have it this Wednesday. I also tested the filler and it works as I expected.

Not much progress spent my evenings this past week doing school stuff and cub scout stuff with my son. Ran two 220 lines to my garage so now I can use my big air compressor and also my tig welder and plasma. Worked on two different designs for how to bring the body back in on the door and also working on the finish work of the fender.

[Dead91silvia]

LOL.... You car with that wide body and those wheels looks like it has doughnuts! :smt005

I havent read this since you did the wide body mods, this is crazy cool! Like the finial line on the QT, makes it look more clean.

Did you ever get the motor in? Still sticking with the Viper Motor/Trans right?

[robsontuning]

Been a pretty busy weekend and fighting with the scattered storms. I removed the rear exterior door handle and just had time to weld in the plate when it started to rain so it looks like crap. I did not have a chance to grind down the welds; I barely had time to hit it with primer.

Also Dead91silvia I still have the Viper tranny and have a deal with a viper shop for the motor, but some friends of mine really want to see the 3.6 built up and super charged in it. Just not really sure at this point. I think in the final scheme of things it will end up with the Viper twin turbo setup.

Honestly, the only one I like is the first one, but the line was off a bit. If you has the top line coming off of the door body line, then it would look more natural.

3rd one is ok, but kinda looks like a new Legacy, when the lines just dont fit the car. But that just me...

Had a little time today before the rain. So I cut and bent the piece I wanted for the door. Got it welded in place just before it started to sprinkle so I quickly did as much grinding as possible and primed it. So excuse the images, it is not finished at all. Did not have time to make to top piece or the bottom piece. Also it is not trimmed for the door and not cut level across the bottom.

Got home from work this afternoon and had a little time to make and weld in the piece for the top of the door. Had to run back to work and by the time I got home I only have time to grind the welds and put a coat of primer on it.

Got a little time today to work on the car once the sun came out. Cut out the front fender and then tacked in the rear and front piece. I will close up the top over this week.

All I can say is wow

Only had a few minutes before taking my son to Cub Scouts. So I climbed on my second story roof and took a couple of pictures. I think it puts things in better perspective.

Had some time today once it dried out to work on the front fender. Cut the pieces to make it solid and got it welded up. I was lucky because I am just about out of welding gas. Will have to go and get some more tomorrow. I will also do the finishing out of the experior hopefully tomorrow and do the undercoating work this week.

How are you going to extent that to the door to bring it back in. Wouldn't the door opening cause the flaring fenders to hit.

Actually the way you see it is the position it will stay in. Would not be able to open the door any other way.

Tried getting time to finish out the fender today, but too many distractions.
