Slavik's bk legacy gt turbo. (Sold 3-7-13)

[slavik.86]

So after swapping Impreza 3 times and owning many other subarus including legacies i decided i really want a legacy gt wagon. After selling my last swap i started searching for a legacy and could not for the life of me find one at a reasonable price. I was literally refreshing craigslist every half hour for weeks and anytime something decent would ever pop up seems like someone would call right after me and offer more money. A few times i made a deal and tell the person ill be getting the money and leaving. After that no responses. Once i show up to meet someone with my wife and they never came. Anyways i got sick of the craigslist bs and started looking at auction and ended up finding a very lightly hit in the back legacy and figured ill try and go for it. I didnt really want a car with a salvage title but at this point i simply didnt care and it was hardly damaged. I ended up winning the auction and i fixed the car myself.

as you can see the damage was very insignificant. I quickly found a legacy outback at a wreacking yard that was my same color so i purchased the tail gate and rear bumper. later i will either replace the rear bumper with a actual gt bumper or just paint this one to match. have not decided yet.


all fixed

Very nice. Id love to just buy an STi/WRX and just swap parts in like this

[98legwag]

So great. Definitely will follow this.

HA! I know those VIN lanes vary well! Been there a couple hundred times... Gotta love VIN inspections.

Whats the story on the Impreza? Another auction car?

Edit: Oh yeah, you might want to update the top of your thread as per-rules... If you need a quick look at what the mods like, look at ether one of my Legacy threads in my sig... :smt023

I see some recoil money in that Impreza! :D Doors, bumpers, maybe wheels... Most of all, I see a jackpot & you just scored very big!

Thanks for the heads up. Ill hop on that this evening. Ya the wrx is another auction car. I no the older wrx's arent as nice any more engine/tranny wise but it was cheap and with this swap ill have a future option of swapping in a ej207 easily 8-)

na all the doors more or less are damaged. there is some some recoup money but probably not to much. Ill be selling brakes since i got 4/2 pots, probably wheels, little crap like spoiler, seats, ect..

Im using a cheapo ryobi. Back when I did siding I needed a sawzal very rarely. I used it maybe once a month so I bought the cheapest one. It was good for that but to weak for cars. I too use the tourch blades but more like 4 blades per car. I dont have the patients lol. Usually break 1 or 2 blades or when it starts cutting I little slower I swap out for a new one.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

[Dead91silvia]

Ahh.. I see. Yeah, that might also be why you go through so many blades. I used to have a worn out Makita and it broke blades.

I think I have cut up around 20 cars, give or take, in my time with a Sawzall, so I have it down to a science.

[slavik.86]

Official swapping has begun!
took exactly 2 and a half hours to drain fluids, remove exhaust, remove drive shaft, remove complete rear end with suspention and brakes, remove gas tank with filler neck and all, install wrx tank with all accesories, install wrx rear with suspention and brakes. Then i had to go back to work :(
Oh and I worked 100% alone.
And for the pics.

Right before I began.

Why not? It takes me 20 min to swap the tank. I wont have to wire anything at all this way and dont have to worry about anything. I hate wiring ant try avoding it were I can. Ill be using the entire wrx harness ant this way I no I wont get any cel's or anything. I no I dont have to swap it and I could figure it out but I choose to do it this way because its easier for me. Its only 4 bolts ;)

So had relatives over at my place this weekend so didnt do anything friday or saturday. But got some thongs done monday and today after work.
I pulled the entire harness and stripped out the engine bay completly. Cut new holes in fire wall for the wrx heater core. Test fit heater core, dash beam, and wrx dash. It fits like a glove. And finished tonight off with tac welding the new firewall pieces in place. Tomorrow ill finish welding, grinding and start bondo on firewall.

What do mean ? It dosnt really just pass threw. I cut out small sections of the bk firewall and welded in small sections of the gd firewall. Then I just bondoed the firewall so it looks smooth and not welded. I did this so I can use the gd heater core and so the wiring harnesses that come threw the firewall look nice and original.

This is amazing. You're being very thorough in your work. Are you really merging the harnesses? You could use the whole set of WRX harnesses now that you've gone that far into the car. Just curious is all.

Sweet, can't wait to see it. I kinda want to put a GD dash in my wrx swapped BD, one hurdle I haven't figured out is how to make it meet up with the door panels in a nice way. And also because I have a fully merged harness I'd ahve to do a tone of wiring haha

[slavik.86]

Ya the door panel part ill just have to live with unless I can come up with something really clever ha ha. If you already have a merges harness in your car I would imagine it would be a major pita to do a dash swap. Not to mention the firewall deal. You will have to have the area all stripped out and the engine removed to do it.

Sure I will list everything I wire as I do it. If u do dash swap like me it narrows wiring down to Basicly like u said tho its just legacy stuff that your keeping. Headlights, tail lights, fog ligjts, sunroof, dome lights ect ect.

So not to much interesting has been happening this week. Been doing a lot of other things so not much has been going on with the legacy but I did manage to do a ton of small things like bleed the brakes and tie up some loose ends here and there. Also welded up a custom exhaust out of 2 wrx mid pipes. Kinda ghetto but hey its free and I kinda like it ha ha.

Engine bay more or less done besides for a few minor things and a major cleaning lol. Notice no more rice bov ha ha. And im using a stock air box.

What the hell?! Dont tell me your doing another swap...

We need to setup a meet sometimes in the next couple months month, what do ya think? I'll be on the east coast the end of this month for the MD meet, but maybe something for March April? Just to hang out and talk shop then maybe get a one setup for summer.

[slavik.86]

No turbo swaps here. My brother bought that with no motor and a shot auto trasnmission so I will throw the engine and 5 speed from the wagon into it. So in a way it will be a swap lol. Just not a fun one.
Your going all the way to the east coast for a meet? Dang dude. I thought tukwilla was kinda far ha ha (joking). Anyways im down for a meet. If im not working ill be there for sure

Thats the compreasor I always had but I havnt been using iy for a while cause it was at my parents place and I was to lazy to pick. It up. I love mine too but its so loud. I have to do something about the noise. Dont wanna piss the neihbors off to much lol

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

[Dead91silvia]

What I would do is build a box on the back side of your garage and then run lines in. If you insulate the box, it will cut the noise down big time and give you more space as well.

We have been thinking of doing that here, but we are also thinking of selling the house so wouldnt make too much sense at this point in time.

[slavik.86]

Only problem is a already installed a few extra breakers on my panel and now its completly filled up :( I cant run another 220v outlet so tje compressor has to stay were it is and share a plug with the lift. I was thinking about building a box around it were it is and line the inside with acustics padding or something. But then I dont no if it will have enough air to run properly and not over heat. I turned it on yesterday and went outside to listen to it. Its not incredebly loud but if next door neighbors will be trying to sleep or nap it might be a little annoying.

Smiley?? What do u mean? I see no smiley. What was on them was a mixture of mold, dust, dirt, probobly sweat, dog hair, and as mighty car mods would say human slime. I dont wanna no what else was on there. Hopefully that was it. They were from the rolled over wrx that had a busted out windshield so the car was exposed to elements like rain, wind, dust, acid rain, snow, ect. ect. For months while at auction yard and before.

In my opinion it was a very well spent $90. Took me about 45 min to clean the seats to where they are now. I think ill do a few more cleaning sessions just to make em extra clean and sanatized. So far I love the little machine tho. So dose the wife. Works great oh house carpet too

Just how I like it. I dont really want to much extra attention. Iv had cars that I had to block with other cars every evening cause I was so worried they will get jacked.

So a small update. Even tho my seats were decently clean they had a smell to them that I simply couldnt stand any longer. So I yanked the seats out and completly stripped them. I will throw the seat covers threw the washer a few times and ill bleach, shampoo, vacume, ect ect the foam. Im certain that the seats will smell like new after all this.

And another rather big update. Iv been searching for a sti tmic so I can complete my vf39 setup. I found the tmic and.. well... I got a little more then I bargined for. The browski had a 04 sti 6 speed laying there that I guess he wanted gone. The deal was way to good for me to pass up so well guess guess my wagon will be six speed hopefully around summer time. For now since I have all the parts needed ill do the vf39 and tune.

I was presented with 2 opportunities in one day. First one was to sell wagon for a great deal for me and second one was to buy the rs in rough shape. Again for a great deal. I fugured I should take both or neither. Taking both seemed more exciting and now I have a good chunk of change and a ton of awsome parts to swap and play with the rs.

Ahh that sucks. Wanted to see the car in person when I get my swapped 99 wagon.

If a Sentra SE-R was allowed to the RI meet, I think an RS might be tolerated lol.

Ya man. I hope impreza guys are allowed to show up for any meets u guys might schedule

Well, if anyone offered my crazy money for any of my cars I would most likely sell them also...

You just gotta stay active on here, alright?! :smt023

Always need Impreza guys around. I mean hell, I'm about to start building one for my niece that will be getting her drivers license in a couple years.

For sure. So far I like the forum here more then any of the others. Actually wanna go to meets and meet people. Seems like a great crowd. Im also thinking I can talk the new owner into letting me borrow the car for an evening and come to a meet. Im sure he would be fine with it. He stopped by yesterday. He got the windows tinted already looks so good. Wish I snapped a photo

Thats what I said to you today when you told me! haha

No stones will be thrown via webforum from me. I love the RS's. Hope we dont lose you to NASIOC now!?

Post up a Members Rides II thread for the RS! Should be interesting to see what you do with it. Sometimes you get an offer you can't pass up.

No need to throw stones via web forum, you could go throw them at him in person! :lol:
