[WinterKnoll]

Christ...I don't think I'm going to be able to decide :shock:

[LunchBox04V]

Wow. Some great picks there. I am sorry, but Sybirs wagon has been given me so many ideas, I had to pick his wagon.

[deadlydave]

well since this is battle mode, here are some more appropriate pics of my car...

Thanks, participation always helps in BATTLE. Anyone else feel free to post action shots, I was just doing the basic ROTM format.

And very nice slide! That's on ice?

[phoonTy]

Tough choice this month!

But the Hooptywagon is nice!

[Reason]

I always liked sybirs wagon, but that stealth wagon is ridiculous! I had to vote for that.

[WinterKnoll]

It was a tough call, but I ended up voting for Stat's blue wag, just because I <3 blue and he did a great job on the paint job.

[StatGSR]

And very nice slide! That's on ice?

thanks! yea thats those pics are from the 2 mnsubaru ice races we had this year. im guna see if i can get anymore pics from the guy who took those.

[2.5GT]

that stealth wagon is killing :twisted:

[Airgne]

very hard choice. next time have a sedan ROTM and a wagon one, cuz this is hard.

[StatGSR]

got a few more pics i added to my first post.... pretty much the only pictures of my car from that weekend before my clutch went away haha.

[grayguy]

I voted for Stat, not just because I know him, but because I've seen the way he drives it and the amazing things that that car will do on the ice. The Wagacy of doom is by far the best car to watch or ride in on the ice.

[Kansei]

Sybir's gonna dominate again! I love that damn thing! Only cause I dream of mine looking that good someday.....

[Legacy]

Here's some xtra pics of a Battle-Ready Legacy.

Kitt??? A tribute to the Knight Rider. I took it off after I got a warning from local Law enforcement.

[4n70n1n0]

Tough choice, but at the end the black housing projector's own me over

Sorry Sybir

I wish I could vote twice

[blackgtbeauty]

Ben.

Us BE's gotta stick togethA!

[deadlydave]

Stat, you have some serious Cojones driving on ice. I'm a chicken shit ;-).

[rougeben83]

Stat, you have some serious Cojones driving on ice. I'm a chicken shit ;-).

Dammit, I got nominated again and I didn't know :shock: You should send out memo's Dave :lol:

If I post vids of my obnoxiously loud BOV, will more people vote for me? :twisted:

I voted for deadlydave...just cause I didn't want him to get shutout ffs.

Oh thanks blackgtbeauty :) With my engine and your transmission, we could have one pretty decent car, wouldn't we? :lol:

[Huffer]

I actually think the Baja should have been in the offroad comp. Too much ground clearance to mix it up with these streetwise sedans and wagons.

[caoutback]

I really think the Stealth Wagon looks sweet but not a fan of the red interior bits and the white gauge cluster with red faces and the red and blue engine bits. Pick one color for the engine and go from there.
Sybir, your ride IS world famous and their is now competition coming from Legacy with his Stealth Wagon so get ready.
Rougeben83 you've got one nice looking ride, but I like wagons better sorry.
Deadlydave, you've got a nice lookin Baja Turbo but again, I like Wagons more.
StatGSR, your Wagacy is nice but too plain for me. You are nucking futs for driving it on the ice and all and mad props for doing so.
Sooo, yet again Sybir gets my vote. One day we'll have to do an unofficial or official Sybir vs Legacy when he gets his ride done.

[Legacy]

Thanks caoutback for the feedback. I did consider changing out the interior trim as well as the engine bay. I haven't had the time. I will soon.
It's is a honor for me to even be considered in the same tier as Sybir's ride. I too got a lot of my ideas from him. This seems like a battle between the teacher and the student. Although, Rougeben83, Deadlydave, and StatGSR have awesome looking Legacys. I will definitely get some ideas from these guys. Good luck to all.

[sybir]

I voted for Legacy's stealthwagon, becuase, hell, it's badass, and I dig the front end.

:D

And, since I never have action pictures because I'm takin' em, here's video of mine with the old fart-pipe (RIP).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY8DnOA9Xdw

I'll get some new pics and audio with the new full exhaust shortly ;)

[Mr. Sociable]

God damn rougeben. Yours just keeps getting better and better. :shock:

[auspex]

I just puked in my mouth a little....I just voted for a BE...

haha, I kidd! I kidd!! But really, I voted for Ben's BE. I had no idea he had that bugger turbo'd. Plus we know he has battle pics AND vid out there.

[deadlydave]

I actually think the Baja should have been in the offroad comp. Too much ground clearance to mix it up with these streetwise sedans and wagons.

I thought of that too--but felt i would have a cheap advantage from the factory. ;-) I want to showcase the guys who went balls-out on offroad conversion. I lose 2 inches of clearence when I switch to my auto-x tires anyway :lol: I gotta get some street cred for my mad tyte harnesses, right?

Stealth Wagon got my Vote.

[DLC]

Lots of great choices, but only one I can really make ;)

[blackgtbeauty]

Oh thanks blackgtbeauty :) With my engine and your transmission, we could have one pretty decent car, wouldn't we? :lol:

LMAO very true!

[pdawg]

BE's unite.

[SilentRacer]

werd homie, I hate bens car but I'm voting for it because he did what I couldn't.

[rougeben83]

werd homie, I hate bens car but I'm voting for it because he did what I couldn't.

Y u no rike my car?

Too many lights for you?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[StatGSR]

Hold on, let me up the boost a couple of pounds so I can stay ahead of you! :twisted: :lol:

Seriously though, if you're going to turbo swap, don't get a BOV. It was amusing to see people go WTF when they see a stock looking Legacy on snow tires go PSSSHT, but it's complete ricer bait. I'm putting it back to recirc in the next few days :grin:

[DOOK]

if I get a wrx or sti swap it would only be my..... 5th turbo car... yeah, gotta love ricer bait.... I prefer corvette bait though

[SilentRacer]

No, hes right its because of the stupid lights.

[02legacygt]

i voted for ben's to, but i gotta argree to many lights in the front, they look weird on the legacy, however if anyone makes fun, take them to the track and whomp them!

[Shlomo]

I love Kitt from Knight Rider. It was a hard decision, but I had to stick with the BK's. Sybirs ride looks awesome too. and everyone elses ride.

[Beffers]

I gotta support my BF's Stealth Wagon. I was there when he first bought it and let me tell you...It was a POS car. For $1500. what do you expect, but he put in a lot of time getting it to the condition it's at. He has my vote for sure.

[peugoby]

I voted for Ben's BE. He has obtained two qualities I really desire in my Legacy:
A nice power to weight ratio and a swap. Not to mention awesome BBS's that were available as a factory option from Subaru.

Really easy vote for me, nicely done Rouge.

I had to read it again, i thought Huffer typed this. :lol: I was worried about what Mrs. Huffer would think. :lol:

[subaru_terrence]

BE's FTW!

therefore, i voted for rougeben83

[deadlydave]

BE's FTW!

therefore, i voted for rougeben83

His car is your car's evil twin. :twisted: Ok, I'm going to call this done soon. I couldn't decide, So I didn't vote.

Stats certainly had the most exciting pics though. :twisted:

Fine, I'll post vids of my BOV getting ricers to rev at me today, sound fair? :lol: :lol:

[deadlydave]

Only if that's at a light and you act like you're going to race them. And they blast off while you just sit there. :lol: Then, maybe y ou'll get my vote. :grin:

[deadlydave]

hahaha, i'll check it out when I get home. Work's been keepin' me late quite often lately, I was supposed to ship Warriors rear tophats out last week.

[deadlydave]

Damn you ben. I'm pretty sure you're faster than me, was that like 75% throttle? I guess I have to vote for ya then :-D.

Sl-i pikes peak hillclimb meet in a few years? :-D

[rougeben83]

Damn you ben. I'm pretty sure you're faster than me, was that like 75% throttle? I guess I have to vote for ya then :-D.

Sl-i pikes peak hillclimb meet in a few years? :-D

I think towards the end yeah, I was rolling the throttle a bit in the beginning but once it gets rolling :lol:

I wasn't able to film the 1st run, before that one...I actually got a little wheelspin in 1st :shock:

Ok, I need to keep my transmission around for at least a year though, so you're not going to be seeing any more aggresive launches from me :grin:

[deadlydave]

We're gonna have to autocross one another at some point this year, meet somewhere inbetween albany and you? You could always come up and crash for a local AX here. :lol:

[deadlydave]

Houston, we have a problem?

I reckon it looks like we have a tie. I'll leave voting on until I get home from work today, then the winner shall be announced.

This looks like it was quite an even matchup. :-)

[deadlydave]

look's like legacy's come out on top, by a hair.

[Reason]

Has the winner been crowned?

[Airgne]

exactly!!!
