Hi Everyone,
my name is Talon, I'm from the rainy state of Washington.

This summer I saved up enough to buy my first car. a 98 legacy GT

there was 14,000 on a rebuilt engine and 140,000 on the car body

I had to replace the clutch, tires, and battery right off the bat.

my mod list;
Yakima roof rack
tint
cobb shift knob
stereo
jdm tail lights
jdm fogs and side markers
momo steering wheel
blue Led in car
03 wrx suspension
perrin pitch stop mount
grimmspeed master cylinder brace
whitelines rear strut bar brace

pictures don't have someone of the recent things.. will get some up soon!

Future plans;
coil overs
wheels
brake upgrade
04 interior swap
strut bars
radar detector
light weight crank pulley
upgrade bushings and what not

Congratulations, that is a nice find. My first car is my Legacy L Wagon, it's a lot of fun!
By the way, I've heard replacing the crank pulley (harmonic balancer) with a lightweight pulley can unbalance the crank shaft and cause more vibration, thus leading to shorter engine life. I've never tried it so I don't really know if it makes that much of a difference, but it might be something to look into if you haven't already.

Thanks Gavin! I wish I could know for sure if the light weight crank pulley would mess it up.. if anyone else could enlighten me I'm definitely holding off on the lightweight crank pulley for the time being!

Nice! I didn't know the WRX seats would fit in a Legacy.
How are those strut brace quick releases? I was thinking about getting some but I wasn't sure if they would be as snug as using the normal bolts.

yeah the wrx seats fit great, I've learned I need to change and trade the female for the seatbelt.
the strut bar quick releases is what came with the strut bar when i ordered it, honestly i love it because i do sleep in my car when camping and going on trips ect..
