Hey from Denver

[RandyMarsh303]

Hello Sl-i community! My name is Tim and I live in Denver Colorado. A couple of years ago I bought a 96 BD for 500 bucks, the thing was a real eye sore but ran like a champ. I threw in some speakers and stereo and drove it for just under two years and 55,000 miles until I Sold it for 400. I then bought a 98 LGT with an automatic transmission 135,000 miles (I looked for months for a 5spd but this was the best deal I found) . Purchased it from a subaru mechanic. Car had 0 Miles on new timing belt, head gasket, water pump, and front brakes. I have been loving it every moment that I have had it. Trying to get a lot of little things changed up to the way I want them. And on to the pictures.....

I have been reading all the threads about this and it seems that most people are doing the ebay type intake with a cone filter but I have heard a hybrid intake is better (leaving stock filter box and snorkus) Opinions???

Long off future plans (hopefully within the next 12-18 months)

Nice green legacy, I have that same CD player as well.
I personally like the hybrid intake the best. I had a weapon R dragon intake for a couple years and the sound it made just got annoying. The hybrid intake still sounds beefy but in a good way, and with the hybrid you're getting colder air from the front of the car not like the SRI. I've also learned that you don't really need a cone filter unless you're pushing around 400hp.

I might be in the Denver area around the holidays, if that happens we should meet up! lol

Welcome fellow CO guy! (I live up in Fort Collins) You've got a nice platform to mod it looks like.

[RandyMarsh303]

Yes i know the bumper needs painting and unfortunately a little fiber glass work as well. I am waiting for a buddy to come home that is stationed in Japan. I'm hoping I can have him ship me JMD headlights, fogs, and bumper.

I'm excited to see there a few local members! Are there any local meetups, clubs, etc.?
