Hey everyone, my name is James and I'm from Raynham, MA.
I have owned a 2002 WRX for several years and have recently finished a UK300 tribute/conversion to it.
Two weeks ago my life was forever changed with the arrival of a beautiful baby daughter. I decided that the WRX sedan wasn't practical and lacked the room needed for the baby and all of her gear, so I purchased a 1998 Subaru Legacy GT. My WRX has been retired to a weekend car.
I've completely fallen in love with the Legacy. Inspired by the JDM/EDM/Aussie GTB models, I plan on bringing the new car to perfect mechanical condition, and converting the exterior. I've learned a lot in the past few days lurking on this awesome forum. I tend to move quickly when messing with a new Subaru. I've already purchased an L7 grille and a set of JDM side markers. Monday of next week the car will go to the body shop to take care of some rust in the rear quarters. I work at a Subaru dealership, so by the end of next week the car should be mechanically sound, and then the fun will begin.
Here is my WRX/UK300 Tribute. I've kept the motor stock for the last 150k miles save for a "Stage 2" retune and some exhaust bits. The transmission is a Ver 4 STI 4.44 five speed, which I believe was also offered in the GTB models. It also features Group N brakes and Prodrive aero goodies.

Here is the new Legacy! The car is dark green with a black leather interior, and five speed transmission. I'll be sure to make a gallery thread as the car will be updated and upgraded extensively in the next few months.

Happy motoring!
