Hi, Your Car looks great keep up the work on it... I've got a Q? Do you know if any GC Hood dampers will work on a BD/BG/BK Legacy?

Thanks!

[dplacencia]

^^^ not sure if any other gc will work...

[dplacencia]

So took the GT out yesterday after it has been sitting in the garage for over a year... Took it to my job and did a few things on it..

Oil change, set all the tire pressures, fuel additive, adjusted e brake, rear whiteline swaybar bushings, installed the stromung track pipe, resprayed the header wrap, zero sport drain plug.

[dplacencia]

My 02 wrx and my 97 LGT... :grin:

This thing is flawless in person. It looks like it just came of the showroom floor over in Japan. The only thing wrong with it is its LHD :grin:

Take it to Rhode Island this year and there is a pretty high chance i'll decide to make the drive up there. Im trying to find benefits of going to outweigh the cost of gas haha

[Huffer]

Delvin - did you have to do any mods to get the Gimmick Motorsports GC Hood Dampers to work? Or did they just bolt on?

Any chance they mailed you a discount coupon? :D

[Hinyo]

Is this up at Annapolis Subaru?

[dplacencia]

Yes I work.at annapolis subaru...

[dplacencia]

Huffer... The hood props just bolted right on....

[dplacencia]

Thanks dude your legacy was nice too... Especially with the big fogs...

[dplacencia]

New updates coming soon. I have a few new parts i want to install...

[dplacencia]

Just put on the zero sports radiator shroud. The one I had before was cut. This one is perfect....

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/02/IMAG0268-1.jpg

[dplacencia]

I went to Agile's Open House.....

[chrish8r]

And i dont think ive seen a cleaner legacy ever...looks and sounds great

[98legwag]

Such a great car. And it was good to see you again.

[BE-Fresh]

Still jealous of how clean this car is...

[dplacencia]

Thanks.... It looks a lot better in person... Lol

[98legwag]

Thanks.... It looks aT better in person... Lol

I can second that. Its so unbelievably clean....and sounds amazing.

[dplacencia]

6 years of owning this car and love it. Still have a lot of plans for it. It has come a long ways....

[amgarrety]

I still feel privileged I got to see it outside on one of the rare occasions it gets driven! Haha. Such a beautiful car. On my lists of favorites simply because it is immaculate.

[dplacencia]

Last time I had the car out was almost a year ago....

[triplet911]

really clean man keep it up

[dplacencia]

My 3 subies.... :grin:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/04/IMAG0307-2.jpg

[dplacencia]

I have a few new parts that need to be installed... lol

[Hinyo]

heh heh. do you. well so do I. I honestly think my car is soon to be your cars bastard child. i seriously blame you i cannot stop buying parts.

but on a more serious note. pics of the parts?

[dplacencia]

Well then you have a long ways to go...... Lol. Too much stuff to take pics off.... Lol

[dplacencia]

I took the legacy out for a few hours. It was a lot of fun.....

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/05/IMAG0322-1.jpg

[dplacencia]

I really really have to upgrade the brakes on this.... 4/2 pot red calipers with slotted rottors will really set this car up.....

[r3v_v3ng3]

My 3 subies.... :grin:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/04/IMAG0307-1.jpg

[98legwag]

[dplacencia]

Thank you....

[dplacencia]

It was a nice day today. So I decided to take the 97 Lgt out for a nice ride...

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2013/01/IMAG0708-1.jpg

[dplacencia]

After going to the meet today. I have my mind set on starting to do more work on the GT...

[dplacencia]

The car will be in its first official car show. Carlisle, PA Performance and Style may 11-12 2013...

[98legwag]

[98legwag]

So much perfection in those pics.

[dplacencia]

Thanks!!!! I drove the 97 to work yesterday. I have to do a few things before the show....

[98legwag]

I was wondering what you do to keep the trim pieces and side skirts and what not on the 97 so black? I bought some Meguiar's Ultimate Black trim stuff last night. I am going to try it out some time this week.

[dplacencia]

Well I drive the car 5-6 times a year and only when the weather is good.... That is the nice thing about having more then 1 car...

[98legwag]

I knew that was part of it....

[dplacencia]

For the most part the car sits in the garage dude....

[dplacencia]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2013/04/IMAG0186_zps91ae13c3-1.jpg

[98legwag]

Nice. Have you fixed the WRX yet?

[dplacencia]

Not yet... Lol. I need too...

[dplacencia]

At the car show in Carlisle, PA...
