wow lots of work went in it, great ride, what are your plans for all the opennings in the front bumper i think 99-02 forester fogs should fit in the squarish opennings quite nicely

Thanks for all the comments everybody! I am thinking about JDM Tails and Fogs if I can get my hands on some. Unfortunately, I have to wait until summer before I can start modding again (I'm in college right now and I don't have a job). We'll see what comes along.

How did you get the alternator pulley one? I have all three (P/s, crank. alt) but can't get the damn alt pulley on.

Nice car, I think I commented on Nasioc about it... I saw it at Subiefest.
We should have an Oregon Legacy meet! What kind of power gains did you see from pp6? David from RalliTek was always suggesting I go the same route.

I'm not quite sure. The work was done at RalliTEK in Portland. I have no idea how they got it on.

An Oregon Legacy meet would be sick! I've heard PP6 adds between 10-15hp and improves engine functionality by a ton. It worked wonders on my engine. I would definitely recommend it.

I like the car, but it needs something done to the rear bumper. On the side view it just looks funny. But the car is well put together.

Impact gun. The amount of torque just cracks the nut loose.
Nice car btw. I'm just not into fiberglass fronts... I make a good living outta repairing them tho :smt023

So I finally made the jump and got some JDM Projector headlights (big thanks to andivic!). They were a hassle to get on because of my aftermarket bumper, but with some ingenuity I finally got them on.
I also got an STi Duracon Shift Knob, STi Floormats, and a Redline Shift boot. Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll also have a JDM Momo steering wheel, 35% tint, HID's, and a damn rear bumper lip (if I can find one! :mad:)
Here are some pics I took:

It is an L. I got them about three years ago when Borla still made them. I had one set crack already. The second set is still going strong. *knocks on wood* :grin:

I jinxed myself. My headers cracked completely around the pipe last weekend. It was nasty. I took them into an exhaust shop today and got them welded up. They also fixed all of my other small leaks. The car sounds better than ever now! :grin:

I kinda like the look of the black trim personally, it looks more aggressive.

Black trim FTW. I am planning to paint mine black.

I'll tell you, the MOMO feels better than the stock. My hand gets less cramped when I drive.

Just what I thought. If I keep it, I'll have to find another JDM exporter or hopefully source 1 here in the states 'cause I've always loved Momo steering wheels.

Car looks sick man! Cool to see some one dump some money and time into a L. Hey so do you like that big bumper? I have been tempted to get that one. I have the normal 99 bumper with lower lip and it looks good but kinda wanting something more aggressive. Also what kind of gains did you see from the engine manegment? I got the new style 2.2 and wanting some extra juice out of it before I do a motor swap.

I love the bumper. It gives a unique look to the car that not many other Legacy's have. Unfortunately, I can't say much about the engine management. It was put on by the owner before me. He said it was a great mod and it showed an increase of about 10 whp, as well as vastly improving many of the engines components (ignition, timing, etc).
