Sadly the "Snorkus" is gone but I now have a direct route for air to reach the filter from behind where the fogs would normally be.

[r3v_v3ng3]

Welcome, nice car. Btw are your fogs aimed to the sides?

[legacy360.]

Welcome, nice car. Btw are your fogs aimed to the sides?Thank you. Yes my fogs are aimed to the side slightly, it helps to fill in where the brights don't hit. (sides of the road)

I've never seen a 2nd gen painted that color! Welcome! Where are you from?

[legacy360.]

I've never seen a 2nd gen painted that color! Welcome! Where are you from?
really? There are 4 or 5 (all wagons) around here that are the same color.

[harrymaneuvers]

Mine is that color... it is a 1999 only option and more specifically, I think it was only available on the 30th anniversary editions... sandstone metalic. It is the same color as the bottom half of the outbacks that arent gray on the bottom half.

It is REALLY easy to do an outback bumper swap because assuming it is not painted gray, it will be a color match.

my new end links:

I didn't take of picture of the old end link on the car but they were shot.

no more noise and handling isn't as sloppy anymore.

needless to say I would recommend Hardrace to anyone

[chrish8r]

I've never seen a 2nd gen painted that color!

I agree! I think I have only seen one painted like that. Good job so far.

[legacy360.]

Thanks chrish8r. I really cant believe it isn't as common else where. I still see about 4 here in my small town. Im not sure if i wanna keep the car this color though...

[harrymaneuvers]

I SAY KEEP IT!!!!!! It doesnt show dirt AT ALL!!!!!!

I rarely see them here in northern cali and have ONLY seen it on the 30th Anniversary L sedan and wagon models. I have never seen it on a 30th Anniversary GT sedan or wagon.

[98legwag]

I see it once in a while here. Mainly on 99 30th Anniversary editions.

over all it was pretty easy to make, should of done it sooner

[r3v_v3ng3]

:smt023 for the diy skidplate and the lip looks like its from a civic

[wentz912]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is splitting the fuel rail supposed to do for you?

[86bratman]

Definately looks like a 99-00 civic Si front lip.

In theory doing the split fuel rail mod(like he has) with two pressure regulators will eliminate pressure variance from one side of the motor to another. Its a fairly popular mod on high power turbo builds. Probably doesn't do much for the na engine other than clean up the looks of the manifold.

[legacy360.]

wentz912: I do plan on ether turbocharging or a hi compression build later. To be honest it wasn't very expensive and was a learning opportunity.
r3v_v3ng3: thanks a lot :) hopefully it will help out this winter, managed to pack snow in a few places last time :(

[legacy360.]

well it was finally time to do my front struts wasn't as bad as i thought it wound be.
I did have a bit of a problem finding the right placement for the spring compressors.

well all in all it wasn't bad but one bolt snapped and the part store was closed so i had to drive this to school:

Nice car! i have the same one, same color. Any chance you remember the detail on the cold air intake?

[Oc7ane]

[98legwag]

Oc7ane, you wont regret them at all. just be careful when putting them on. i scratched the shiny new paint :( i know its just going to get dirty anyway but still...

[legacy360.]

thank you im not sure what you are asking but most of it is pieced together the curved tubing is from ebay maybe $40 the other parts i had around the garage.

[legacy360.]

because the weather is -5 here i decided to do my modding indoors.
anyone who has a legacy that doesn't have factory fogs should know what this is:
