Rocket’s 97 GT ..::SOLD::..

[rocketlegacy]

Hi my name is Casey. I didn’t have any plans for this car. It remained stock for about 8 months. The only thing it had was ugly blue window tint. The head gaskets were replaced at 90k. I had to have a sound system in the car. Got a nice deck and amp/subs. Built my own custom sub box to fit the width of the trunk. I also angled the face of the box to point at the windows to resonate the sound better. Then I discovered Sli. Where the mod addiction started.

Here is the car when I first picked it up

You're crazy Bend IS a good photo spot! Shevlin Park you can get some good shots or anywhere along the Deschutes river trail. Also there was some turn offs on Mt. Washington you could get a nice view. Lived there for a year. Miss it like all hell. I also drove a gen 2 Legacy wgn. when I lived in Bend. Love the rio red, but before anything else, please paint your side skirts and lower lips :smile: really updates the look. Nice looking wagon you've got. Cheers

i was thinking the same. except 17x7.5 for the Torque's are a tad more rare on ebay. its flooded with G-forces of that size though.

[Mx4Life]

Go with the rare wheels, find them. thats what I did. my 00/01 RS wheels are so hard to come by

[rocketlegacy]

id be getting coilovers in conjunction with the wheels i think.

[Mx4Life]

coilovers would be a good idea with the wheels. Still good for sunday's meet?

[BG5guy]

i can get ya a good deal on those k-sports, best upgrade i did to my wagon, real nice ride

Subaru meet was a success. Central Oregon will have one every other Sunday. i definitely need coilovers and wheels. and a wrx swap for that matter.

5K 55w HIDs just shipped.

HIDs installed. going from stock lamps to projectors is like night and day. projectors to HIDs is also night and day. probably going to get 8000k high beams and 3000k fogs. going to take pics now

[peter]

Don't get hid high beams. You'll ruin them by flashing them on and off quickly. If you want hid high beams replace the projector with a bi-xenon projector

ill just have to swap the H3 for a brighter bulb if this is true.

some shots. the projected angle is way off. i got high beam flashed more then 15 times going to and back from this spot. i lowered them when i got home. not sure what the exact angle should be though.....

it looks like they are angled too much to the left/passenger side in thoes pics.
you should pull up to a white wall and shine your lights on it so you can see the pattern of the light better to help you adjust them.

Thats what I would do, get new brighter bulbs, and wire your high beam and your projector hid low beams to be on at the same time

[BG5guy]

lemme know how adjusting those lights goes. I found that with mine its a bitch. The JDM projectors are a pain cuz the passenger side is really the drivers light and is hard to level out. but leemme know so i can stop blinding people lol

alright the i have one more final then ill be up there as much as i can. to make my season pass pay for its self. skiers > boarders. boarders are just moving moguls. they are always just siting on the side of the hill chatting.

Update: wired my low beams to stay on when i have the highs on. i cant believe i waited this long to do it. the light from the highs is exactly above the cutoff from the projectors. need to get brighter bulbs for them now

photos taken 3 hours before posting. good eyes. sorry to say that the blinkers got put on hold. i was told a good way to wire them but haven't had time to find the harnesses. i have a lot of projects that involve pulling those fender liners out so i want to do everything in one day.

nope. the spot was down 27th St just south of greenwood/highway 20. i still need to drive around Shevlin. the problem is alot of bend is scrub brush and pine so it all looks the same where ever i decide to go.

when i blacked out my bmw I went to the hobby store and got smoke spay can. Its a small spray paint can that has a transparent black paint in it. i did 3 coats and my lights were black. Its around 4 bucks a can and if you use it, make sure to mask everything. Oh, and let me know if you decide to go that way and I can give you full directions on prep and finish for the best results.

[BG5guy]

How did u wire em in, are they wired to your corners and always on or were u able to wire em up to be on as well as blink with your turn signal?

[rocketlegacy]

always on. but i dont think i like it very much. i always ride with my corners on during the day. and i dont care much for amber. would i wire the (+) to the black wire? no idea.

[BG5guy]

depends, did the corners come with 3 wires or only 2, if they came with only 2 like most of them do, you gotta splice into the negative coming off your turn signal i believe, could be wrong.

[rocketlegacy]

ill have to try it when i have a day off again and when im not skiing.

I know what you mean. You can never really be "done" modifying your car lol. The radar detector looks pretty good, but I have no idea of the kinds and types of radar detectors out there. I have no knowledge is that area!

Will you eventually lower your car? Or is the stock stuff good for you? I'm trying to decide if I want to lower mine again or just put some GT springs on mine...

[rocketlegacy]

02-04 wrx KYB AGXs with H&R Sport springs is the plan. the wheel gap is starting to bother me. as soon as that stuff gets on there i throw the GT-B badges up also.

[peter]

its amazing what the right products and some time can do. I had to do something similar after I got my car back from the shop after the first time it was hit, they half assed it and did a polish fade on the drivers side of the car to make the new paint look less noticeable against the old faded paint. looked like shit so I got some rubbing and polishing compound, and wax and went to work

so today is the day where my illegal front side window tints come off. with my 2nd speeding ticket the officer tacked the tint on too. so the judge ordered me to remove the tint or replace it. im removing it now and replacing it with 35% some time down the road. might put up a more in depth DIY on Detinting windows with pics of the process and what not. this DIY helped viewtopic.php?f=39&t=6086 (http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=6086) but not everyone lives in a state with hot sunny weather year round.

the tint i had was very high quality. both windows were done in 1hr. ( this is including taking my door panels off, taking the tint off, removing the excess glue, putting the door panels back on, and cleaning the windows)

i was able to pull it all off with two pulls with most of the glue still on the tint and not the window.

Im surprised you only had to take off the front cause the law says 35% all around. But that is the exact reason that I planned on doing only 35% on the fronts. That and the more visibility is also nice, now I just gotta figure out what to go with for the back sides and rear

thats nice to know. a friend of mine I work with has 5% on his door and side windows and nothing on the back lol but its still super dark inside, and if the sunroof is open it helps some light shine out so it doesnt look so dark.

Night visibility is definitely a big issue for me. Iv got horrible vision in one eye so bad I'm required by law to have both outside mirrors so being able to see out the front sides and back is an issue. Do you do it all yourself or have a shop do it?

[BG5guy]

im lucky, since my Fozz is considered SUV i can go as dark as i want legaly in the rears. Already came tint when purchased im guessing it is 35% front and maybe 20% all around, its dark thats all i know

[rocketlegacy]

Do you do it all yourself or have a shop do it?
myself. the shops down here rape you when it comes to tinting. $200 for (2)fronts, $160 for (2)rear passenger, $180 for (2)side rears, $200 for back.

i paid about $60 for the tint and $75 to my buddy who wanted to help me. came out with ZERO bubbles, creases, or dirt/hair.

[peter]

nice Iv been debating on doing it myself or having a shop do it. the shop here wants around 200-250 ish for my car for the low quality stuff and idk if they would do the % I want. As long as I can find some good tint at a decent price Ill probably go that route

[BG5guy]

damn, places out there are spendy. Out here in beaverton its $125 for whole car up to 8 windows.

im guessing there is a lot more competition up there then. makes sense. there is only one shop here that uses Suntek tint.

[BG5guy]

ya, there are like 3-4 shops that do tint, but there is only 2 that use SunTek and they are always offering lower prices for better quality.

nice. wish i had that option but like they say "to get it done right do it yourself"

heres the result of my de-tinting. have to say i absolutely hate it. buying my 35% today.

yes yes its a razor

[rocketlegacy]

rolled my fenders. holy shit i have new found grip in the corners. since i was rubbing with my new tires i never went fast. my buddy has the Eastwood fender roller which made it really easy and not sketch.

[BG5guy]

Pics bro bro

haha. i dont have suspension so its hella unflush. the car looks exactly the same. except i removed the fender liners. ive been meaning to go on another photo shoot adventure. so expect some soon.

[BG5guy]

Damn son, slap some ksports on that ride and get flush already lol

[rocketlegacy]

im not down for the way coils ride especially with the roads here being so bad. a buddy of mine runs ksports on his STI. the ride is really rough. he says doesn't like them and wouldn't recommend them unless i was going to be running on a track every weekend. he is probably going back to his stock struts and getting the STI lowering springs. so i think im set on 02-03 WRX KYB AGXs they have adjustable damping. then H&R sport springs. sway bars/ strut bars. etc. should still have good cornering with the comfort.

[csweston]

There is such a thing as nice coils. Ones that wont really ruin your ride at all while also greatly increasing the performance. However these are usually really expensive, European ones. Racecomp Engineering (RCE) makes a really nice coilover.

That being said with the driving that 99% of us will be doing some good lowering springs will be plenty. Liking what your doing with the wagon, keep it up!

the set up im looking at just for the struts and springs is under 800. coils are just not practical for Central OR.

thanks. might invest in some supertones next.

[rocketlegacy]

i acquired new brake rotors and front calipers. just got to install them.

rotors are drilled and slotted but are a mystery brand pulled from a wreaked WRX. front calipers from a 07 LGT limited.

Went to Saturday's Oregon Trail Rally stages. so much fun. while i was there i only took one picture. it was during stage 10...

with the many Rally cars, 100s of STIs, and EVOs in attendance i found this.

[Navi271]

What is this?! I feel like that bumper should not be on a rally car. If it actually rallys a lot, the bumper will probably meet its end!

I wonder if the jdm antenna actually works? Just like peugoby's before he sold his 95 legacy.
Also this just goes to show that there are other people out there that modify 2nd gen legacy's that aren't even on here...

[Yamazaki]

I wonder if the jdm antenna actually works?
Do you mean the one on the bumper? It's so you can see where the corner is on your car so you don't scrape/bump into anything, it's not a receiver. Some even glow a little so you can see it better at night. A lot of cars have that here, but usually on upscale cars or cars owned by old people.

[BG5guy]

ya, i had a parking pole on my civic back in the day. mainly for looks, but cool lil mod if done right. My old one had a green light at the top

[peter]

I saw that saturday morning at the parc expose at kmart. Parked pretty close to it and was happy to see someone rallying a 2nd gen. Kinda wish I took a closer look now

oh I know that, but doesn't it extend and retract? I was wondering about if that part works.

[BG5guy]

Its on a switch, has a motor inside the bumper, goes up n down

photo session on judgement day. hoping that Skynet was going to take over and we would follow John Conner in the fight against the Terminators. so i took some photos of the GT.

so i bought some yellow 1156 bulbs to go into the side lights of the fogs. since i didnt use them as markers. they are DRLs as far as im concerned. should add a tad more consistency to my lights at night too.

The endlinks are bent because theyre the wrong ones. You need the "C" shaped endlinks. Not the dogbones.

Those Perrin endlinks are way pricey. If you want something half the price try these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... MEWAX%3AIT (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370513053660&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT)

Or you could even reuse your stock ones. Having SOME flex is actually good for a street car.
