Free98LegacyGT

[Free98Legacy]

Hi all, want to start by saying this site rocks! I have learned so much buy just reading around. Thanks for your knowledge. I always say the best knowledge is from someone that has already delt with the problem.

I just aquired a 98 Legacy GT, 147k miles, O YEAH BEST PART IS.... I GOT IT FOR FREE. Kinda a long process but my friend got back from a deployment and didnt need it anymore, so he gave it to me. Im stoked.

O yeah same day i got FREE WRX wheels from my roomate. Wow what a day.

Its a stock GT in great shape, minor dents and dings as to be expected, headgasket was replaced at apx 125k miles, only thing it needs is a CV joint. (Thanks for the posts about replacing the CV joint and Half Shaft)

So there is my intro, time to start posting my questions and pictures.

Im looking to do an STI interior (seats, carpet, blue on doorpanels), struts, springs, outback swaybar, kartboy shifter... due to the miles the only motor work will be an intake and maybe exhaust work. Dont want to push this high miles motor to hard.

Thanks again for all the info.

Damn. You win the prize!

With a free car, in good shape, you could put very little into it and have a nice ride.

Awesome! First mod should be a snorkusectomy. Instant smile. Remove your passenger front tire, pull the fender liner down and rip that gi-gundo plastic box thing out of there. It's an intake silencer. Who needs those anyway?

Where are you located and what did you do with those "free" mesh wheels that came with the car :wink:

Thanks again for all the input.

I have already done the snorkusectomy whit out knowing what it was. I just did it thinking "dam that big box is a waist of space"

This site is great, im all over the suspention mods and have a list started a list of what i want to do.

Lightweight pully set... need to find one cheap, not 200+
Rear sway bar, outback, 18mm
WRX struts, springs, tophats, want STI but need to find them for cheaper
Grounding kit (custom)
Maybe the MSD/Neon coil upgrade
Ebay intake
Rework exhaust
Kartboy short shifter
Dress up my stock eng and clean
And of course all needed maint, oil, plugs, wires, etc.

Who knows what else ill do? We will see and i'll keep ya posted

EDIT: Im in San Antonio, TX for about another month, then everything gets put on hold until i get back from my deployment. Then another month til i go to Cali, 1.5 hr north of Sacramento

Still got the free stock wheels, sittin in the garage.

THANKS for the factory service manual, that rocks

What's this Neon coil upgrade I keep hearing about (I'll search later)?
Used to own a '95 Neon and used to have a TON of spare parts lying around.

USED to.
