[deadlydave]

nice. The white hood is a unique look. Looks kinda cool actually, especially with the red scoop.

[Huffer]

:) I was going to do a black insert in my white hoodscoop...

I would ditch the pinstripes...
Looks nice though!

[2.5GT]

holy shit, the back end just looks like mine...with all the scatches too :lol:

[mranlet]

Looks sharp. How do you keep your muffler so clean?

[shizznats]

its only been on there for about 5 months or so... but when i wash the car i just clean it and all the black comes right off.

[ryu_haneda]

nice. The white hood is a unique look. Looks kinda cool actually, especially with the red scoop.

I second that... the white hood is a cool look - period. Normally it would catch me off guard but it's a nice alternative to the black cf hoods I see as mods.

The more I look at it the more I like it. Oh and don't feel bad about your paint job at all... my car's about as battle-scarred as yours is by now. I'll post some pics when I spray my mesh wheels black (glossy, not flat... I want those puppies to shiiiiine :grin:)

Again, great looking ride. Your car is now work wallpaper...

[shizznats]

haha awesome.

I would remove the pinstripes but im afraid that the paint color underneath is different than the rest of the car...

and i still need to adjust my projectors, the high beams are way off.

[2000LWAGON]

what part of jersey?

[shizznats]

somerset county. right now im mostly at school (the college of new jersey) near trenton. are there any meets in the area comin up?

[Reason]

haha awesome.

I would remove the pinstripes but im afraid that the paint color underneath is different than the rest of the car...

and i still need to adjust my projectors, the high beams are way off.

If that's the case buy Meguires paint cleaner. I removed the pin strip on my WHITE 89 CRX and you couldn't tell. I did the whole car and it looked brand new. I also did the polish and wax too. They have a 3 step system.

[BE-Fresh]

I always have a soft spot for red cars. Should look real nice when it's all matching haha

[dplacencia]

Meet coming up in 2 weeks! :grin:

[shizznats]

photoshop planning :grin:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2007/11/subywallpapersmudge-1.jpg

[ryu_haneda]

You are definitely in wallpaper territory right now :)

VERY nice car. I wish the gt wheels were that big... looks like they are 17s or 18s in that pic.

[shizznats]

yea, those are what 18s would look like.. i also wish they were that big, the design of the wheel is really nice which is why im lookin into getting a set of 18" enkei rpm2s. but thats gonna have to wait till i get some $$$.

[4n70n1n0]

Do you know if anyone makes any knockoffs like? Maybe in Gold, for cheaper so 4n70n1n0 can afford it?

I've been looking for rims(for the future) just like that, but 17's

[redlegacygt]

TSW makes a set that are pretty close that i might pick up once my swap is done.. They come in 17's and 18's

[shizznats]

updated pics up top ^^^

[deadlydave]

updated pics up top ^^^
Nice, I like it. It's defintely bright, but still tasteful

[SPR]

man i love the interior work. but... you need some carpet and door cards lol. that would finish it off.

i have some for sale in a nice bright red suede that would match your car perfectly if your interested. its just center piece fabric/plastic. not the whole door panel. all you would have to do is unscrew, switch, and screw back in.

[shizznats]

This is the same grill I had before, but I restored the mesh which was peeling, and added a nice GT emblem. ... Yes, i know my car is kinda crooked :-?

BEFORE - PINK STI LOGOS

[dplacencia]

Nice floor mats. :wink:

[shizznats]

I didnt like that the pink STi logos on the new mats didnt match my interior... so... i bought a red Sharpie and colored em red :grin:

i think im gonna wait till after winter to put em in though.

[2.5GT]

how much was those? and part number? :grin:

[shizznats]

$50 + $16 shipping. These are not genuine Subaru ones, but knock-offs i guess... don't really know what the difference is. Here is a link to the ones i got:

http://www.x3racing.com/products/produc ... 6&navid=53 (http://www.x3racing.com/products/product_page2.asp?catid=356&navid=53)

[Reason]

The difference is quality.

[shizznats]

true, im sure there is a difference in quality, but i'll see how long these hold up for ... they were a Christmas gift anyway.

Id like to take a look at the genuine STi ones and see the difference for myself.

[Huffer]

The real difference is probably in either:
1) the carpet material
2) the OEM markup

End of the day, they're mats.

[4n70n1n0]

I really like looking at your car. It's really nice. I would love to have a Rio Red LGT. Your interior is SICK.

Thanks for the custom STi mats.

[henryq89]

nice man..love the look of a red LGT w/o the wood trim :grin:

[dplacencia]

I have pm'ed you several times dude.

[henryq89]

:shock: now thats a reall nice LGT man ...can i have it please! lol

thanks a lot guys.. i havent visited my own member ride page in forever, so sorry bout the slow response. HOWEVER...

I have got some pictures you guys are all sure to like comin up later today... :wink:

[2.5GT]

post them up now!!! :grin:

[shizznats]

actually, unless someone knows of a way for my friend who owns a mac to send me a folder with 75 pictures (100MB) to my PC without buying a program, i wont have these pictures for another week when i actually see her and have access to her camera.

[Huffer]

Use a free online file hosting site. Get them to upload, then you can download.

[shizznats]

Here is my newest mod ... model that is :grin:

More to come, heres just a few.

Very good of her to color match with the car.

And how the heck did you get Brembo's under the 16" wheels?

[oskar_subaru]

i don´t think they´re real :grin:

[4n70n1n0]

Top and Bottom ;) NICE!

I second that, but he did a nice job on it and the slotted rotors help the illusion fit in perfectly

[shizznats]

Those are just Brembo decals on the stock calipers.

Got my scangaugeII today. I still have to tweak it, but it seems really useful (and it shows instantaneous HP :grin: ).

It really does a lot of shit (scans CEL codes and can clear them), if you guys havent heard of it, heres the website: www.scangauge.com (http://www.scangauge.com).

haha yeah, im waitin for it to get dark out. I hear there are a lot of color combos so I should be able to color match my green

lol your car has 5.1HP! Well how does it work? What does it tell you, you have for power?

[shizznats]

lol your car has 5.1HP! Well how does it work? What does it tell you, you have for power?

lol 5.1 at idle man... i shall go for a spirted drive tonight and see how high i can make that number go.

ill report back then (unless its just embarresingly low, then you wont hear from me :lol: )

[Reason]

Report to us if your break 120HP lol Other than that, dont bother lol

[nosbocaj]

Nice car! Props on the model too; she's cute. Keep up the good work!

Attempt #1: 160HP @ 5025RPM

Attempt #2: 172HP @ 5575RPM

i think i can do a bit better.

im shocked at the MPG... driving spiritedly all day i averaged 22mpg.

[2.5GT]

nice! i cant wait til mine comes in...i'd probably mount it in the same spot you got it on right now..but more on the bezel part.

Oh that's gay, so it must rate crank HP rather than wheel HP. Well I'm disappointed, I don't think I will get one anymore :-(

[shizznats]

i was going to do that too, but then it really gets in the way of the gauges.

but any spot behind the steering wheel like that is the best spot as far as concealing the wire; you cant see it at all.

[xXGTBspecXx]

hpow much was the scangauge? i want one!!

[Reason]

hpow much was the scangauge? i want one!!

eBay

[shizznats]

hpow much was the scangauge? i want one!!

Theres plenty of em on eBay for $160 shipped. Well worth it in my opinion. Not only does it tell you things like HP, MPG, Throttle position, Ignition timing, RPM, MPH, and lots more, but it is also read codes, clears codes, tracks your max RPM of the day, avg speed of the day, avg mpg, and more. Overall very useful tool and with an older car I think it can save you money in the future if you figure out a problem sooner because of it.

[Reason]

I still think the HP reading feature on it is disappointing.

[Huffer]

I still think the HP reading feature on it is disappointing.

Oh please. The SC2 does way more than pretend to be a dyno. This gadget has paid for itself in a matter of months with OBD2 scans, code clearing and generally being able to spot when stuff is going to break.

I was able to watch my voltage readings drop and simply took the battery in for a test. It failed. Bought new battery same day. Problem solved. No need to mess around with wondering if the alternator was going etc.

I bought mine for $129 shipped through a group buy on Legacygt.com

[Reason]

yawn...

[Huffer]

double yawn

[sexystover]

this is cool for reading things, but im dissapointed you cant make adjustments like the apexi s-afc

Which is BS, I can't see how reading codes and clearing them made your money back huffer when autopart stores read and clear them for free. Unless you have to pay in your area, then this would be great for you. You having your scan tool vs someone who doesn't have one.... lets say me, you dont have any significant advantage. Wow it tells you volts and MPG etc.

That's wicked impressive ..... :roll:

Can the SAFC read OBD codes across ALL vehicles? Including CAN protocols?

Can the SAFC take intake temps from your stock sensors (if your car has them) and show them to you?

You buy one thing to do one thing...does your A/F ratio meter show you oil pressure too?

Thought so.

[Huffer]

Wow it tells you volts and MPG etc.

You show me a fully functioning scan tool that generates a MPG reading, voltage reading, ignition reading and MAP pressure all at the same time, real time, in multiple colors, for under $150.

Whatever. Be a hater. :roll:

[Reason]

I'm not hating the tool, just disappointed because I was and MAY still get one. I'm just hating on your logic for it "saving" you money. Should I end it with thought so too? :roll:

[99SUS SFD]

Looks good there. Mine is on its way as we speak and I was trying to figure out where I want it mounted.

[Huffer]

I'm not hating the tool, just disappointed because I was and MAY still get one. I'm just hating on your logic for it "saving" you money. Should I end it with thought so too? :roll:

There's no reason to hate on my logic. I spent $130 on a toy, and it ended up saving me money. I was able to avoid making trips to an autostore to get codes read, and I saved money on battery failure diagnosis. I even discovered the car was mis-firing before it was recognised by the ECU. And yes, for kicks I waited until the code appeared. P0303 misfire cylinder 3.

My time spent away from work and family IS money. Without having to move the car from my parking space to work out what the problem is, saves me money. Work the logic however you want.

[Reason]

Pay no mind to what I said last night :occasion5: :occasion5: :occasion5: lol

thats what i asked myself, but after reading up online about the accuracy or the hp rating, people say its actually very accurate. Thats crank hp of course, i probably have like 20-25% drivetrain loss :\

Sorry to tell you, but you have more than 20-25% drivetrain lost. Try more like 30-33%

The only calibration you can do is set the engine size and tell it when you fill up your tank. And ive done that so i think its as calibrated as its gonna get.

[99SUS SFD]

I think mine will be here tomorrow and the calibration was something I was curious about. I've been doing a lot of reading on cleanmpg.com and I see some people have been putting theirs on "hybrid" mode even if they don't drive a hybrid. I guess it's part of their fuel-saving driving tactics.

[Okin DaVanh]

I can't see how reading codes and clearing them made your money back huffer when autopart stores read and clear them for free.

AutoZone won't clear them around here. You have to buy the part, install it, then bring the receipt back to clear your code. Some stores just clear them, but ask you not mention it because they're not supposed to here in Mass.

This IS a good buy in my opinion. I do see where you've saved time and money (no trip to the store + waste of gas= $ + Time :smt023 )

And like Huffer suggested, It takes SOME of the guess work out.

Yea autozone clears them for me all the time. They are also a 10 min wake away from me so gas isn't really an issue. But in your case it's more practical.

[2.5GT]

Advance auto does it too, i've gone there several times for my CELs. they even print out a receipt for me :eek:

and my scangauge will be here the Wednesday! woot! :grin:

[99SUS SFD]

Mine actually came in today and I've already got it set up. It's not completely calibrated as I just filled up but so far I've got it reading horsepower, average MPG, instant MPG, and distance to empty. So far I'm lovin it.

[dplacencia]

I like it.

how many colors are there to switch from?

[99SUS SFD]

They claim 63 but I haven't messed around with the color settings yet. It was too bright out to notice any real changes.

[shizznats]

New Mod: scangauge delete :lol:

Yeah, I used the thing for the past 3 days and realized its totally not worth it. Most of the info is useless and the rest of it is inaccurate and delayed. It could be that its just in our cars because my friend has it and he loves it. But for starters, the HP rating is way off and the reason is that our 95-99 subarus did not come with an air temp sensor, which is needed to calculate HP...

My autozone does CEL clearing for free and its 5 minutes away.

anyway, if someone wants one for 150 shipped, let me know :grin:

[Reason]

Gee, wow, no kidding huh?

[Huffer]

I'm keeping mine. ;)

[dplacencia]

Mike your going to sell it now?

[shizznats]

It was time to upgrade my sound system. A buddy of mine works at Best Buy and he got me a pair of Pioneer 180W speakers for $24.00 and a pair of Infinity Reference SE 180W speakers for $46.00 ... all on his employee discount. It was an amazing deal (I spent $75 w/tax on all new speakers) and they sound incredible... took us like 3 hrs to put em in; it was more of a pain than i had imagined, but oh so worth it :grin:

EDIT: the pioneers cant handle the power anywhere near as well as the infinitys (pioneers=30W RMS, infinitys=60W RMS) so i got another pair of infinity references and i should be set. either way, theres a world of a difference compared to stock speakers... those things were made of paper.
