JMoney's 98 Legacy GT Update 5/13/08 *Large Night Pictures*

[JMoney]

HAHAHA. Figured out to semi use my camera which resulted in less shitty pictures. ENJOY FOLKS! (OLD PICS)

*Last page people*

[Plays_with_Toys]

very nice. All the mods are very tasteful and clean.

[Wiscon_Mark]

How do you like those WRX brakes?

[JMoney]

Plays_with_Toys - Thank you! :smile: .

Wiscon_Mark - My old ones were pretty shot. I'm just running the stock WRX pads right now, but I've noticed a large improvement in braking distance, and how much less effort I have to push on the brakes to get them to stop me. I think that they are a cheap way to have a little more performance for such a big car. One day I'll find some red 4 pots and upgrade to those.

I also tried the Meguires Strach-X on this wax as a trial run. I'm pretty mixed on the results. I don't think it was worth my money, but I really don't have many large scratches, only chips.

I need to slow down a bit on my car and start figuring out what mods are really going to help this be a great daily driver. The jury is still out on headers/exhaust. If you were going to make it a daily driver would you prefer to have the burble all the time or have it nice and quiet?

[Huffer]

You need to lose the car bra for photoshoots. And in general. I just hope when you wash you remove the entire thing because your paint will end up with a tan line if you leave it on too long.

Anyway - I would still get headers + exhaust. You can have an understated burble that hints of an animal when you start to get on the go pedal.

[bubaru21]

where did you get that intake tube? i have been wanting to just replace the heavily restricting stock tubing on mine

Yea, I realized this before I put it on. Having it on "protects" what's left of the OEM coat. It has plenty of years of abuse on her and I'd like to prolong the paint in the front. I know that some of you might not agree that this is the best way to do it, but it was certinly the cheapest and the smartest vs. putting on a clear bra which would be covering shitty paint. In time I'll repaint it, lose the bra, and the sunroof windguard, but for now they stay. :smt045 .

[subieyacht]

hey! im gonna call you next weekend and were gonna hang out again

[JMoney]

:wav: .

[subieyacht]

does that mean cool or what? hahaha :pottytrain4:

[JMoney]

You bet. :smt007

[JMoney]

I GOT NEW PICTURES. Yaaaaahhhhh! :lol: .

[JordanIsHere]

Nice shots. I'm diggin' the ride man!

[JMoney]

Thanks man! :cool:

[speederfly]

Much better photos....Mmmmm, I likey likey. Ride height is just right. Nice wheels too!

Way to figure out the camera, what camara are you using?

[JMoney]

I have a 4 year old 4.0 megapixel Gateway thing. I suck at cameras and this one has settings and junk on it. I just want to point and click and get the best pics ever. Apparently that never happens.

Adding pic of my lovely clean interior.

[speederfly]

Well ya done good. I like the sparkly pics from the driver rear corner. Oh BTW that interior IS lovely :grin:

[JMoney]

:thumbup:

[badbasser98]

Now I want another BD more than ever :mad:

[blackgtbeauty]

i really like the car, very clean. however i don't care much fo rthe bra on the front, if you still want to protect it, i'd get some rockblocker. ya.

[Superu264]

Your car is exactly what I want, I'm gonna go sit in mine and cry :lol:

[blackgtbeauty]

ugh... the bra... i can hear the paint screaming from underneath it from here.

[JMoney]

Maybe I'll take it off for my next shoot, big boy :wink: .

[deadlydave]

the bra is useful for absorbing cones at auto-x. :twisted:

[badbasser98]

can I have your car? :razz:

[Wiscon_Mark]

can I have your car? :razz:

can my girlfriend have yours? :razz:

[Huffer]

The BBS wheels are great! Just repaint the front end already and ditch the stupid ass bra!

[JMoney]

I've heard that repainting Rio Red will look funky not having the rest of the car repainted along with it. True/False anyone?

[Plays_with_Toys]

If you paint something, its usually best to match the paint on the car, and not the paint code because of sun fade, and other stuff that diminishes paint.

I think with metallic paints, it also depends on the angle the paint is applied. If you apply it at different angles (that the part is sitting at), the paint will settle different, so its best to have the part in the stance it'll have on the car (so hood flat and not hanging).

What's wrong with the picture? 10 points for a correct answer.

No center brakelight.

[JMoney]

Wrong, but good observation. :grin:

[AussieDan]

Well the center brake light wouldn't be in that pic anyway, cause it's on the spoiler in sedans.

What is missing is the ABS sticker.

[Wiscon_Mark]

Oh, it must be the BEs where they leave the brakelight there whether you have a spoiler or not.

Are you supposed to have head rests in the back? I know my wagon doesn't have any (but it's also a 95).

Yes!!! I have JM points!

[subieyacht]

im so torn between the wheels. i cat tell which oes i like best. but it dosent even really matter because its not my car :smile: i know whats missing in the pictures......TINT hahahaha

[JMoney]

Let's hear what you think about the wheel color. I'm not quite sure at this time, but it's growning on me. Also, you'd be suprised at the amount of people who look now.

[Plays_with_Toys]

ewww.... I liked it way better before. White or gold would be better if you're not going to stay silver.

[JMoney]

White wheels? :eek:

[Plays_with_Toys]

my wheels are going white this spring/summer :twisted:

[d1giPhux]

How much you pay for those BBS's.. they look great on your car. What size are they / do you have a drop?

edit : wow i just noticed.. u dont have them on anymore! Oh yea.. i like the black.. but GOLD would look much hotter man! Gold + red = awesome. White may look good too.. but nah, too much of a bitch to clean.

2nd edit : DAMN DAMN DAMN those looked hot silver. HOT DAMN i need to get some!

also.. why does it look like your projectors have 2 projectors in them!?!

[d1giPhux]

Oh, it must be the BEs where they leave the brakelight there whether you have a spoiler or not.

Why is headrests in the back uncommon? Mine has them!?! *confused*

I might go with gold one of these days. If I do gold though, they're probably going to be STI wheels or P7s.

It's the reflection of the projector against the reflective housing. :-)

Removeable headrests? :-? .

[d1giPhux]

They are removable.. where u get them from? Interesting. haha. i REALLY liked the way those rims looked silver.. so hot.

oh yea, and u got a drop, or no?

[StatGSR]

not guna lie, i think the black looks terrible.... the silver before was pretty good, but i think a proper bronze or gold would look best.

[d1giPhux]

not guna lie, i think the black looks terrible.... the silver before was pretty good, but i think a proper bronze or gold would look best.

GOLD FTW! Or silver.. but theres no going back to that now!

[auspex]

are those '06 WRX stockers?

the size looks great!

-mike

[Wiscon_Mark]

I don't like the black either. I would have stuck with silver.

But whatever you like is what's important.

[JMoney]

Dropped like it's hot.

Outback wagon rear seats for the headrests.

auspex: Yes they are!

:cry: for the no gloss black love.

[Huffer]

Need a distance shot to judge, but the wet black look seems to be competing with the rest of the car.

I'm sure color-coding the skirts and painting the brake calipers would help.

[Reason]

White wheels? :eek:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


WHITE WHEELS!!!

WHITE WHEELS??? WTF?? WHITE WHEELS?

OMG Chrome hubcaps are way nicer than white wheels. OMG white wheels are faggy. I can't express how much white rims suck.

+1.

[Plays_with_Toys]

Get some shots at a different time of day and use a better compression program (the picture looks jaggedy), and the gloss black might look better.

I think white will be the hotness, but if I paint them and it falls through, I can always switch.

[JMoney]

I don't know man. White and green just seems like an odd combo (kinda like red and black :razz: ). I've seen green and gold and that shit hot.

[sansMYSTi]

Not feeling the black. What happened to the silver BBS's - they were much better IMO.

[Huffer]

White wheels on a bright red car - nice. ;)

how many miles on your engine? looks new.

[2.5GT]

Your steering wheel is upside down!! :lol:

[Huffer]

You win the cleanest engine bay comp for sure.

[BE-Fresh]

Very clean, I like the JDM wheels the best. And I might beat you on cleanest engine bay :lol:

[deadlydave]

Wow, simply stunning. Awesome look.

[dplacencia]

The wheels look very nice on your car. The front lip too. I'm thinking about getting all the black trims painted too. :wink: The car looks great. :grin:

[RO_4_LIFE]

wow, you are some sort of a genius with your mods haha beautiful car

[JMoney]

Thanks to all. I've got 106k on her. It just got a full repaint, but the guy didn't flat black the front lip like he was asked to so I'll deal with it for now. The paint looks a lot better then what is portayed in my poor pictures.

[SilentRacer]

That's down at the world arena in C/S. I'm done with school for GOOD NOW!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Are there any words? Ok, now I'm REAL glad I own one of these. :grin:

Man, now I really can't wait for spring to come. Front lip paint... hmmm...

[AussieDan]

Beautiful shots, awesome car. Congrats!

[JMoney]

Thanks fellers. I'm running Gr2's with Eibachs and Ingals camber correction bolts in the rear.

And yes I got the whole car repainted. :grin:

[Huffer]

Tasteful... It would represent well amongst the NZ crews... even though it's not as fast as it's JDM brethren.

Get a swap in there, and you'd take xcntrk75's title for most outstanding red BD...maybe. :)

[JMoney]

That's the plan. First comes the stopping and handling, then comes the go.

[996TT]

car looks great!! Those wheels really suit the BD car better than the BE/BH....congrats

[1-3-2-4]

^ ditto on what he said

[blackgtbeauty]

The nice wide tires make the stance look great.

[JMoney]

TTT for new pics comming tomorrow. :-)

[1-3-2-4]

OK!

[BE-Fresh]

Word, chamon wit it!

just blew a load. j/k vey nice. i wish i had gotten a BD.

[BE-Fresh]

Looks better and better everytime

[deadlydave]

Wow, lookin' good. I'd kill for some BBS's right now. The V7's are a bit heavy for autocross duty.

[JMoney]

True that on the V7's! I love the wheels, and thanks for the kudos guys!

[HotBoxer]

I just met JMoney for the first time tonight and let me be the first to say that his car is sex on wheels. I the paint looks like its dripping off in person too. I finally got my front end finished and Im hoping that the two of us can go get some sick pics taken with his sweet camera. Keep up the good work J.

[subieyacht]

JMONEY!!!!! im back son! im gonna call you right now.......

[impreza_GC8]

Your car is beautiful! The stance is amazing and your mod list is very tasteful. I am in the market for a Legacy GT (considering a '97 LGT right now) and yours is exactly how I would want mine to look! Keep up the good work!

[d1giPhux]

how much did you pay to get that beast painted? man.. i wanna get my car painted! looks SICK!

[WinterKnoll]

Haha I know, I was wondering that too. New paint would be so hot, but I could never justify that kind of money on just a new paint job. Oh well :-(

[JMoney]

I paid around 1500.00 for the paint. It's a good job for the money. not perfect by any means, but it made it look great and got the little things fixed that bothered me.

[2.5GT]

It's not MAACO is it? :eek:

[d1giPhux]

nice.. $1500 isnt bad at all! i dont know why so many people bitch about MAACO.. ive actually seen some pretty damn good jobs come out of their shops.. and its usually all about the prep work anyways.. so if you do it yourself.. your good to go.

[d1giPhux]

also.. meant to ask you.. what type of rims are those that you were running before the gold ones.. JDM something or the others? i like those. Also what size / size tire you running on them? Any rubbing?

[JMoney]

B4 wheels. 224/45/17 tires. They did rub unless you have camber bolts in the rear.

[Canuck 2.5GT]

Thanks fellers. I'm running Gr2's with Eibachs and Ingals camber correction bolts in the rear.

So Leggy Spec GR2's with WRX or GC Eibach springs? Sorry, I love the stance of the car, I want somthing similar so I just wanted to know your exact setup. How is the ride quality and handling? I was thinking of going with GR2's and Leggy Specific H&R Springs.

[JMoney]

Both springs and struts are car specific.

[henryq89]

just blew a load. j/k vey nice. i wish i had gotten a BD.
