Slaytaleras 92 Legacy SS rebuild (6/12/12)

[slaytalera]

Its me again, legacy v3.0, this time around is a sedan...and turbo...and stick!

Picked her up pretty cheap but it needs a lot of body work, luckily though, unlike the last 2 the drivetrain is solid. I already threw on the WRX wheels and started fixing her up real nice

Mid door swap, the drivers door had a huge crease in it from what i assume was a fire hydrant or something(it was a city car)

Lookin' good. Another SS saved!

[Lachrymologist]

Nice man. Looks like you've got a good Lego to start with, and great plans on where to go with it.

[anothernord]

Awesome, I've always loved the SS's. Question; what does the little duct on the hood scoop feed?

[chuckthefuk]

sunroof wind deflector

[Reason]

Nice, I would love to find one of these near by me.

[slaytalera]

Awesome, I've always loved the SS's. Question; what does the little duct on the hood scoop feed?

Its subarus was of cooling the turbo. Since its a low boost turbo a full intercooler was deemed unnecessary, so there oil, water, and air from the scoop keeping the turbo cool....though I'm picking up a JDM air to water intercooler anyway :cool:

[slaytalera]

Body works done and she's resprayed one solid color. I haven't seen her in person yet, but i can't wait!

This is going to be interesting.......

[d1giPhux]

Did you do all the body work? How about the re-spray? Man.. I wish I knew someone around these parts who would help me with a re-spray! Lookin good!

[Reason]

Justin it looks good, I hope you can keep it long enough for next years meet so we can see it. :-)

[slaytalera]

Thanks guys

@D1Giphux, my dad did 99% of the work, i give him a lot of credit for helping me out.

@Shane, I plan on being there this year, as far as I can recall this will be the first first gen turbo to come? At least from the 3 that i went to anyway

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

looks good. Can't wait to see what's next!

[Reason]

Yea I think so...

[slaytalera]

[slaytalera]

So i just found out i have an oil cooler, and didnt realize that the 92s never came with them....after going through 3 water pumps that didnt have the tube that went to the oil cooler *unamused*

[1-3-2-4]

Wow looks good I can't wait to see it I haven't ridden in a first gen since like 1995.

[slaytalera]

I got her on the road yesterday. I didnt push it because i need a new crank pully (the slot for the key way is goes around 1/4 of the hole and it wiggles a whole lot, that should be fixed tuesday). It was such a satisfying feeling to drive it, the exhaust is perfect, the shifter is perfect, the clutch is amazing....Now on the adding some OOMF to it :D


Now, just to contrast, here are some pics from it at its worst, to how it was yesterday

so whats the plans? you gonna get the turbo sooner than expected and hook up the awic?
if you do maybe we can have it ready for the next drive. how has it been the last couple days??

i wish i had the money to swap my tdo5 sooner. you can use my turbo just swap over your wastegate. but youll probly have the tdo4 before the end of the week... lol.

[sqc151]

[LGT Kirby]

Looking good! (college = fail for mods right now for me)

[slaytalera]

Thanks! Im in college too, so dont let it discourage you(I foot the bill, and work full time). You just have to know how to budget yourself so that you can still grab a bite to eat when you need it, its hard but do able

I also got the walbro in a while ago and the prosport was shot out of the box, so i got a nice Omori boost gauge, matches the stock lighting. The grimmspeed boost controller is somewhere in there as well lol
