Airgne's 3rd Gen(Sold but still around now in Oregon)

[Reason]

You can do the parallel fuel line mod since theyre out as well.

I was going to suggest that! I want to do this when my car goes in for service.

[chile]

whenever i look at yours and terrence's cars, i hate mine.

[Airgne]

^^ you shouldnt. your is sexy.

[Airgne]

here is the dyno plot done today. im goin to see if i can get a plot from all the runs. did about 6 of them.
went to maxwell power in arlington, wa. place is awsome he did more runs than he had to do. didnt charge much, but dont want to say price.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/12/LegacyDyno-1.jpg

[99gtlimited]

max torque at 2050!! that's awesome, those cams really did the trick...

[rougeben83]

nice torque curve Airgne! From what I understand, the Dynocom dyno Maxwell uses reads a little higher than other brand's dynos, any idea what the baseline would be that dyno? I've always wondered just how much gains those delta cams would make (I know they sometimes quote % but a more specific range would be nice).

[4n70n1n0]

Im very impressed with those numbers. Those cams really are something!

[nwsubie]

Nice, I've been in and talked to those guys about doing the same cams in mine! Saving up $$ to get them done after some exhaust work!

[Airgne]

the cams i got are awsome. there is a 2.5rs that is running them boosted 473wtq.

[Huffer]

What grind did you get? 2000?

[Airgne]

2000 intake 1000 exhaust. its in my mod list 1st page.

[Reason]

Yea search n00b!

[subaru_terrence]

oops...i posted on LGT forum by mistake.

How come the number seems a little high? What dyno is it?

Does the cam give that much gain? I always wanted to get cam but is it really rough for DD?

[Airgne]

the cams are awsome for DD. i dont think the numbers are hight at all.

[1996Battlewagon]

Sweet mother that's an awesome torque curve! Those cams ARE good. Are you running stock valves or did Delta send you a new set?

Oh, new exhaust clip please!!! :grin:

[Airgne]

^ heads are stock other than cams.

i will get a video when i get the install cd from cannon.

[Matty2Hotty]

Where you get the eyelids and bug deflector?

[Airgne]

eye lids are from japan, bug gaurd from subaru.

[YVK]

Dude your car is amazing. Question bout that exhaust tho, is it universal? or is it 01 LGT meant? i can't seem to find much aftermarket parts at all for a 01 LGT :smt009

[MudRunner]

[snip] also i am truck bedlinning the trunk of the car tonight. im goin to see if it works to dampen the sound and also seal the hairline crack that i cant find. water keeps getting in somewere.


Any luck getting the sound down with the bedliner?

[Airgne]

Dude your car is amazing. Question bout that exhaust tho, is it universal? or is it 01 LGT meant? i can't seem to find much aftermarket parts at all for a 01 LGT :smt009

the exhaust was custom made for my 01, but will fit 00-04 legacy sedan. you will have to do alot of reading to see what fits. alot of impreza, wrx, and newer legacy parts will work, just have to get the years right.

i still havent found the leak, so i havent put the carpet and stuff back in. i dont thin the rool on or spray on liner did andything. if it was thicker like line-x or rhino liner than i think it would work. ppl would be better off just dynomating.

[BE-Fresh]

Yeah but isn't dynamat like heavy as all hell?

[MudRunner]

If you go crazy and do the whole car, yeah, it adds up. A friend of mine did his Escape in it, and ended up adding like 60lbs to it. It was a bloated whale to begin with though. :lol:

If you aren't obsessive about weight reduction, and it's your DD, it's worth the extra weight to make it quiet IMO. :grin:

[Airgne]

with the weright thing, im not to worried abotu it. its a family car. i will have to see what the car sounds like after the sti genome axelback sounds(that is made for the BE5).

[YVK]

ok so if i were to get just a tip, would it give it a deep rumble? or would you say no on just a tip ?

[Airgne]

just the tip never works. :grin:

me personaly hate wrx and sti stock axel backs. try and vibrant resinator with a vibrant muffler along with a borla header. after all that the car will probly sound nice.

[YVK]

just the tip never works. :grin:

haha dang, shame on me for hoping to get away with that suby rumble with just a tip! haha, well my car came in today, won't start for some reason, might be because it was sitting a bit at the auction place. but i did find this exhaust,

have you heard about it? worth getting for that price? or should i just buy the pipes and make it custom made (i suck at diy things tho :-( )

also i hear the cobb intake is good ?

[Airgne]

just the tip never works. :grin:

that exhaust might work, but in 05 legacies started to have dual tips. it says 00-up, but only 00-04 sedan exhausts are the same. wagons are about 6-8in longer.

as for the cobb intake they are good if you can find them. cobb stopped making them about 4 years ago.

oh dang. ya man, i just got my car today, and it won't start. i think it hasn't been started in a while, i switched out the battery to a good one, and still won't turn over . :-(

EDIT: nvm i see you replied to my thread.

ya so which wrx/impreza parts would fit onto this one ? or any lower/higher years of legacy parts?

[Airgne]

^^ search the forum and you will find alot. start in the natural asparation thread

[YVK]

^^ search the forum and you will find alot. start in the natural asparation thread

o ok thanks. got my car started, missing some fuses. so replaced some to get it started, but now sunroof/power locks don't work haha

EDIT: everything works now :smt026

[mike-tracy]

Those are impressive numbers from your cams! I wonder if similar gains could be found from a 22T block with DOHC heads?

[httrdd]

Is the 3 in obnoxious. I am about to fit a 3in Borla cat back on my car tonight. Did you ever do a back flow test? I am pnping the heads and getting cams so I figure 3in would be alright. This was never planned!

[Reason]

3" piping is way too big for non turbo. I have 2.5" and I lost power, n/a should be 2.25".

[Airgne]

well with 3 in i still made good numbers.

Will you be corner balancing? Nice acquisition btw.

Couple of sounds clips of multiple set ups are floating around here.

[EJ22E]

What are the spring rates on the JIC? I know a guy who has JIC's on his impreza and they were too stiff and bouncy that it was only suitable for track. Very horrible on interstates and in city driving.

i will look into it more. dont have the rates handy right now. these coilovers are street coilovers not track.

im use to haveing track coilovers for drifting, so the harsh doesnt bother me.

as for corner balancing i might ahve this done. i have setup enough cars with coils that i dont really need to do it. i install them test and adj as needed.

as for the 2.25 i think that it is to small. our cars hould have at least 2.5in id pipe.

Because in a few days, his twin will be out handling and looking lower than his.





Look into Corner Balancing. It can also help you get some longevity out of that suspension as well as help you out in other areas of wear and tear.

[Reason]

....I hate you

I never liked him....

[rougeben83]

JIC likes to run high rates regardless of "street" or "race" I wouldn't be surprised if its running something like 8kg or 10kg springs...Just check that the rate is lower in the back, the multi-link acts as a multiplier to the spring rate...

[Huffer]

BE-Fresh's car never looked even remotely like Airgne's....even when stock Airgne was tearing up backroads that Mr Fresh would never touch. Mud city!

Chester, you still have H&R setup still for sale?

[Airgne]

yes my h&r's are for sale. i think the front right strut is blown, but i cant tell.

last friday my kartboy end links f&r came in, just need to get sway bars now. i orders a new muffler and a resenator. i will get one last video of my exhaust before it gets changed.

[BE-Fresh]

Cool, I might just want the springs anyway. I only have about 40K on my setup, so I'll probably be re-using my GR-2s.

You make me want to stop drinking so I can start buying parts again, haha.

i went with a vibrant street power muffler and vibrant 18in res.

[Airgne]

also have a brand new outback front bumper just needs paint.

2.5" or are you staying with the 3"?

[Airgne]

2.5in for were the cats would be than 3in to the tip.

[STIdarkside]

How do you like the JIC coilovers? I may be buying a 01 legacy soon and want to do the suspension just stuck on what route to go, I would like coilovers so I could raise the car up in the winter to go to the mountains... Can't wait to see the pics of them on the car and your ride impressions. I imagine they are a little more than the Tein Flex coilovers though...

[Airgne]

i got the coils for 750 shipped to my front door. the ride is alittle rought, but nothing im not use to. i would keep my stock sus and swap out during winter. i would not put coils threw winter at all. to much road salt among other things.

parts that will be getting installed. all but the skidplate have been installed.

that is about as low as i want to got. im goin to raise it about 1/8 in so i stop scraping mudflap when i go out of my driveway.

I think he ment to dump the exhaust after the resenator. That would be cool, but not sure about the sound.

No more off roading for you

thanks for the comps. who says i will not offraod it again. i still have the h&r's.

Damn dude. This is one of the best looking BEs I've seen. The stance is perfect with the coilovers. Makes me want to get my suspension parts on ASAP.

[stu-nami]

what size of rim and tire are do you have on, including the offset???(i couldn't zoom in on your pics)...your car is friggen fresh as ever man
...by the way how can i get my pics. posted on here, cuz i haven't figured out a way yet and i'd like to show off some new goodies i've been puttin on these last few weeks

[Airgne]

^^pm'd

im really suprosed no one said anything about the torn steering rack boot.

[BE-Fresh]

"torn steering rack boot"

Haha, you're only worried about scraping mudflap? That makes me giggle

[Airgne]

^^ yes that is the only thing. my tires dont rub at all. nice to have 235's. my rear tires lift off the ground from time to time while driving aournd corners. if i took the flaps off i would have about 3in to go before anything would scrap.

[Matty2Hotty]

I don't see a rear GT badge... I see B4 like mine! Haha, Anything under the hood?

[rougeben83]

my rear tires lift off the ground from time to time while driving aournd corners.

you need to fix that...either soften the rear rebound setting or raise it up a little. You're not driving an autocross Golf :wink:

im not taking corners slow when it happens ben. i dont even get tire sound around corners.

[1996Battlewagon]

Sweet man, you got the same axle back that I did! With your cams, I know your exhaust is going to sound nuts.

[rougeben83]

I'm just saying, lifting a wheel on an AWD car mid-corner isn't allowing you to take full advantage of the early acceleration an AWD car has post-apex...On a FWD car where the rear wheels are just along for the ride, that's ok, or even on certain RWD cars where the inside front wheel can lift mid-corner, but ideally all 4 wheels should be planted at all times if you want the fastest line.

[chile]

i like the work being done here....

[Airgne]

so new things done to improve performce.

installed small rubber washer under knock sensor to combat the over active knock sensor these engines have. have noticed alot better throttle response and smoother reving.

also deleted idle air control valve. this way my car has a true cold air intake. also set own idle. yes it takes about 5 more min to warm up but oh well. no more reving to 1500-2000rpm upon start up.

installed new cv axel, re-wrapped borla header and installed primative skidplate.

grimmspeed 160 thermostat also.

[Reason]

Hmm... think I'm going to do that rubber washer thing. My CEL is always on because of the damn knock sensor.

well thank you. i thought that was someone that knew me. yes i was a rider at that moment. 2 days of driveing and doing rally roads as fast and sometimes faster than the rally drivers drains your energy.

saturday when i got to my station that i was working at i realised the car was to low. at my station i busted out the jack and raised my car on the rally stage.

on a side note i just found my left rear swaybar bracket broke. thank god my swaybar is so stiff it really donest matter.

[Airgne]

found out why my swaybar bracket broke. i did hid a peice of drift wood on the beach saturday after the rally. didnt even feel a diff in the assend.

Sorry Chuck. Matty is right. Even the RS30 and Blitzen6 are called B4s. Any Sedan after the 2nd Gen is a B4.

What?! C'mon, if Matty and I are going to make the front doors work, you can too. Don't get rid of it, updating a car is cheaper than buying a new one.

just not sure of what to do with it right now. i would like to find a storage place here in japan to place a car. i want to get a 1st gen and take it back if i have to. the 3rd gen will go back to more family/cruiser(with some power) if i do find a 1st gen(and a place to store it).

[chuckthefuk]

Depending on what you have Bataru may be interested in some items if that helps your situation.

-Chuck

[Airgne]

i know the coils are going to go. to much for what i want to use the car for. the engine and transmission will go as well.

[BE-Fresh]

Dibsoncoils!!!!!!!!

[YVK]

hey man, how you doing there over in Japan ?

[Airgne]

not good. cant get into detailes over the internet. to many looky lews. lets just say it is getting worse for me.

[BE-Fresh]

Hope things get better for you bud :smt023

[STIdarkside]

When you were on H&R's, what strut/shocks were on the car? Stock? KYB GR2? Bilstein HD?

Hopefully things are going better for you and your family...

This.



I hope all is well B.

[MmmCheese]

Ur car looks awesome man. Similar but some different ideas man. I cant wait to start messing with mine. Im saving for the sus now. Kyb gr2 with h&r springs.

[Airgne]

so i just got offered $12,500 for my subaru. should i sell it?

[Wagonista]

... :(

Well, it's probably better than it sitting indefinitely. At least it would (hopefully) go to a good home. You can always get another.

[Yamazaki]

Well ordinarily I would say no (because I don't like the thought of people getting rid of their BEs), but that is so much more than I think you could get for it otherwise that I have to say yes this time. I mean geez, that's more than twice what I paid for an '02 H6 with VDC!

[Airgne]

well the things is i could use the money in good ways. i could pay off two loans, and buy the 80's 4door nissan skyline dr30 i want. the wife told me its my car and its my choice.

[chuckthefuk]

Don't do it... Love is what makes a subaru a subaru. Your BE is clean and has unique items..

[Dead91silvia]

so i just got offered $12,500 for my subaru. should i sell it?

I cant sell mine for $6K so I would say do it! Even more so if it takes care of debt and get a old school Skyline.

I noticed the plates, are you from WA?

[Airgne]

yes the car is from washington. it is still in washington. it does drive sometime around the aubrun, spanaway area. my cousin has it.

see i love my be, but i could get the be that i wanted in the first place later. H6 outback in same color with black leather. hmmmm sexy!!!! the only thing that would not go with the car is my carbon fiber hood(it took me to long to get it to sell it). oh i will be back in a be again. this time i can do things right the first time, since i know how not to do them now. heheheeh.

[Yamazaki]

see i love my be, but i could get the be that i wanted in the first place later. H6 outback in same color with black leather. hmmmm sexy!!!!
Well y'know, the car you want is the car I got for $6K. You could buy two! :lol:

you know?!! cant get a def answer on the import of the dr30 skyline, so that is in the air. the car will be sold in november. my legacy has seen the last of my foot behind the wheel. cant wait to pay off the bills and get the skyline. when i go back to the states a h6 titanium pearl legacy will be in high denamd. going to start collecting parts now. :grin:

You know the rule... 25yrs or older and you're golden. You can even have your work ship it for free if you do it that way.

[Airgne]

so my cousin drove my car for the first time in a year and a half and it didnt go so well. the deep cell battery that was dead got charged to quick by the charging system and blew up on the I5.

thinking about selling it.

[chuckthefuk]

Seriously? A bad battery justifies selling your car? i know your all the way across the world but really?

If you have no use for you BE and can use the $4000 then just sell it and call it a day.

Sadness

[Dead91silvia]

Soooo... is the engine bay just FUBAR or what? Should just need a good cleaning and toss a new battery in it.

Also, did you decide to get that Skyline?

[cpundyk]

Just went threw all 14 pages of this. Nice job. why didnt you get the center garnish for the taillights? congrats on the wcss 11 title! I will be there 2013 for sure! hopefully you can make it. I really like the door sills and bug guard.(im getting one asap) Hopefully everything is going Ok with your famley and your car! Dont sell show up to wcss 13!

havent got the skyline yet. waiting to finish paying off a loan, than might get it.

i have the center garnish. just never got it shiped to me while i was in the states. my buddy had it in his house. got it when i got back to japan. thanks for the good words. hopefully i can get back to the states next year for some vacation.

[Airgne]

so a guy side swiped a gaurd rail with his BE5 over here. i was able to get first dibs on parts. i got the front aluminium lca's for free!!! noe waiting in my locker for if and when i come back to america.

[Dead91silvia]

Cool! Havent seen you on for a while. Ever figure out bringing that old Skyline over?

[Yamazaki]

Hey man, how've you been? It's good to see you on here. Are you back for awhile or do you have to leave again soon?

[Airgne]

havent figured out about the older skyline yet. dont think im going to do it.

been back for alittle bit, but work so damn much its crazy. not going out for awhile.

oh also got the transmission, dirveshaft, axles, and diff out of that BE5. now to firgure out the gear ratio on it. was a twin turbo 5mt.

[nikolaus.conrad]

Do you have the transmission code?

[Airgne]

Do you have the transmission code?


go it already, but thanks

[nikolaus.conrad]

Good deal man

[Airgne]

Well i might be back in Washington in December for a few days. Will be able to drive my scooby for the first time in over 5 years. It will be a test to see if i want to keep it or not. Just needs a new battery and tags.

[Dead91silvia]

Hit me up when you get to town! Would be good to meet you in person! ;)

I'm just over in Tukwila....

[Airgne]

sounds good. i will be in spanaway for most of the time.

[Yamazaki]

Yay, glad to hear you'll be back!

[Airgne]

I'm not back as of yet. I'm only going to be in town for a few days. I'm really thinking about selling the BE5. I have a car that I love that could be brought back to the states since it will be 25 years old. Think i could get 6-7k out of it?

[Yamazaki]

Well, it's got low miles, right? That's a plus for buyers. Also, as @Dead91silvia (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/member.php?u=2037) has pointed out to me time and time again, cars sell for more in the PNW. Somebody there would be best suited to answer that question.
Also, I recommend calling it a BE9. Otherwise people may think you're talking about a Japanese car.

[Dead91silvia]

Well cool man. We will need to plan a small meet at that time.

As for what your car is worth... It's all relative. If it's lower miles, $6-7k would be about right, give or take. ;)

[Airgne]

well since the since the chassis code says BE5 it is a BE5. as for the mileage its right around 120k i think. cant really remember since the gauge cluster was changed out. its only had about 500 miles put on it in the last five years. it has three issues with it that are known, but easy to fix. 1 dent in gas tank 2 flapper in filler neck is broke so it takes a little longer to fillup 3 no a/c. its going to get sold. i dont need it anymore and the wife hates it. just when to sell it is the question. this is the car im looking to get. http://kakaku.com/kuruma/used/item/10773504/

[peugoby]

Been too long, Brandon. Hope you're doing good Bud. I'm back in a Legacy in Washington. Let me know if you are around.

[Airgne]

it has been. i will let you know when i get back.

[Dead91silvia]

Thats a sharp looking Nissan! I can dig it.

Oh, and Yamazaki is right, it's a BE9... If it was a BE5 it would have a 2.0 American VINS are a little different. ;)

[Airgne]

It has been some time since I have looked at the vin. So I'm on the fence about selling it. Anyone intrested?

[Airgne]

It's a go. Selling it!

[Airgne]

Holy shit screw KBB!

[Dead91silvia]

You shouldnt have a problem selling it for that $6500. Thats a lot of car for the price. Friend of mine spent $7500 on a black limited about a year and a half ago with close to the same miles. Also, KBB and NADA is bull... They are shit so dont worry about them. ;)

[Airgne]

Buy it!

[Dead91silvia]

LOL... look at my sig....

I did put the add up on the SLI FB page and LegacyNW as well. Lots of people around that might be looking for something like it. ;)

[fwa2500]

...on the SLI FB page…

There is a FB page?! I must be living under a rock…

Good luck with selling it, I hope you are able to find a good home for it! Always loved what you did with it.

[Airgne]

Oh shit I forgot about all that.

Thanks to both of you.

[Huffer]

Duuuudeeee.....

Even if you sell...don't leave us. I'd love to see another cool Nissan and another stand up guy stick around. ;)

[Airgne]

I wouldn't leave. I want to get the Nissan and if I come back to America I would get a legacy again. Maybe a 1st gen again.

[Dead91silvia]

It's ok to not know about the SLI FB page... it's actually killing the forum its self. lol...
There have been a good number of hits on the link post though. I'm actually going to show the car to my 16 y/o niece. She really wants a Legacy, just need to convince her dad . haha

[Airgne]

Hahaha. Ok

[Airgne]

So I will be back stateside soon. Just picked up a set of Bilstein struts with Prova springs so I can change out the coilovers. Need softer for the daily. Should be cleaning her up as soon as I get back as she has sat for six years.

[Airgne]

The JIC coilovers will be up for sale after I swap the suspension out.

[peugoby]

When do you get back?

[Airgne]

I should be back around 1 September.

[Dead91silvia]

Did you bring another 4 wheeled friend home with you? ;)

[Airgne]

No. I'll be moving back to Japan within a year or so hopefully.

[stu-nami]

Deciding to keep her after all?

[Airgne]

Yea. Why sell a paid off car when you don't have a new job yet.

[Dead91silvia]

I thnk we should try and get a meet setup... how long are you home for?

[Airgne]

Should be stateside for about a year two at the max if all goes to plan. We should get something setup.

[rougeben83]

Youre still alive!

[Airgne]

Yup still alive. Just been busy with life.

[Airgne]

So as I sit and look at this car that I have really taken a good look at in six years I wonder what I was thinking on some of this shit.

[Dead91silvia]

haha... I'm thinking we should get a local cruise to Mt Rainier setup... are you down for that in a few weeks?

[Airgne]

So just had to buy for new tires because I blew one! Sometimes I hate my Scooby.
I'm down for a drive after I get shit settled.

[Airgne]

Wow I washed it three different times and clay bar the car. It still needs help. Damn it's going to be a minute before I get the paint back up to par.

[Airgne]

Well after sitting for six years the clutch release bearing is jacked. Just ordered the snout repair kit for it. I could remember if my transmission was from a turbo outback or not so I ordered both. Now just to get the pilot bearing and a place to do the work. No tools sucks.

[peugoby]

I haven't had a cruise around Mt. Rainier with Brandon in like 6-7 years. That'd be a good time! Let's do it before it starts getting really cold out

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2016/09/SLi20Cruise202008_zpsx63zextd-1.jpg

[Airgne]

Yea it has been sometime hasn't it. As soon as I get the transmission figured out I'm ready.

[Airgne]

So my car is fucked? $1000 to get the clutch and fluids done. Another $500 for a clutch kit. Swaybar brackets are breaking away from the subframe. Oil leak from the rack and pinion.
Got to love it. Maybe I should have sold it. Hahaha.
I will repair all of this just need the time. Wish I had a shop of my own to do it all.

[Airgne]

So got almost everything fixed. As soon as everything is fixed it will be going up for sale along with all the extra parts I have for it. Need some cash for down payment on a new Subaru.

[peugoby]

What are you going to buy?

[Airgne]

Looking at a new BRZ.

[Airgne]

Well the scoobie did good. Made it to southern California with no issues! Damn I remember why I like this car so much. Took the 101 down Washington, Oregon until San Francisco. Did amazing but the coilovers need a better spring rate. Shit was rough at times.

[Airgne]

So 3,189 mile round trip. Car did great. Blew a coilover since California freeway's are SHITE! Glad I have and extra set of suspension. If I get a new Subaru this car is getting stripped and made into a track car.
Drove the Crosstrek today. Damn I like it!

[Jacobpockros]

Clean build! Do you have to drill holes in the rear bumper to mount the spats?

[Airgne]

Not sure. I had a body shop do it since they had to paint and shave some of the foam under the bumper for it to fit correctly.
