new to SL-i from CT, swapped and slammed BE LGTL

[1055]

I got recruited to here from a comment left on one of my youtube videos.. Ive been in the subaru community for years, but never here. (legacygt.com, RS25.com, Newenglandsubarus.com, nasioc(unfortunatley), subaruforester.com)

I currently own two legacies, previously owned a 99 high comp ej253 n/a OBS, known as 'turtle'

over this past summer i swapped my latest DD, a 2000 LGTL ('hungry') with a USDM ej205. ill spare the mod list as this is simply an intro page. im proud to say i can count the number of third gen swapped cars in the u.s. on one hand. aside from Ryan's of ECS that he just sold, i believe this is the only one in new england.

Welcome. It looks like you have some interesting experience that we can all benefit from.

Very nice! Welcome to the forum!

Also, I believe Ryan's old STI BE is on this forum now. It actually isn't too far from where I live. No longer in NE though.

I may be joining the swapped BE club shortly. I'm trying to track down an ej207 or 257 for a reasonable price.

Simply a great set of cars.

Thankyou. I have a tendency to build cars that people either love or hate. Either way theyre different. I'm all about unique cars.

Yeah I saw that its kicking around here. Good to see it stayed on the internet! Haha. If you need any help/insight/whatever on your swap let me know.. I did everything but the wiring (I had zephyr do the harness)



Simply a great set of cars.

Thankyou.

Got any more pics of the cruck? Pretty cool man! Like both the cars! Def need more pics.

[1055]

I have a few. Le cruck is currently in disarray. It needs four new calipers from a life of off road and salt abuse. I do have a video of it :lol:

Thats awesome man! So how did you line the 'bed' in the back? Very cool idea, and good use of an old legacy wagon. Crazy that its road legal!

Black spray paint :lol: there is hvac foil wrap over some of the openings in the body in the side panels but for the most part everything is just stripped down to nothing
