[xXGTBspecXx]

shes a pain in the ass with the motor rebuild right now but i love it.. let me know whatcha guys think..

[peugoby]

Wow great build so far. I love it. You should really consider getting Perfect Power or another EM to open up that ECU and really make gains with all the nice engine mods. Thats just my thought.

silver BK's are the best

[xXGTBspecXx]

i thought my car was a BG5 and where can i find a decent EM for my car?i want something vehicle specific..like a cobb accessport

[Huffer]

consider getting Perfect Power or another EM to open up that ECU

[2.5GT]

ohh..so far so good my man. keep up the good work :eek:

[immortal1kon]

do you have a picture of your intake and would you explain to me how you made it ?

[Reason]

Yours is a BK (but the difference is the body) nice engine build, explain some more. And WHY did you go with drilled rotors????

[xXGTBspecXx]

drilled rotors.... simple better then stock and heat disapates faster.. it was a cheap upgrade that drastically improved my stopping power

[DOOK]

drilled rotors.... simple better then stock and heat disapates faster.. it was a cheap upgrade that drastically improved my stopping power

major misconception actually, a solid rotor with a quality pad is the best option

[Huffer]

Oh dear... a Mischief banner...

your car's tight, but lay off the stickers, lol :grin:

[xXGTBspecXx]

i have a few friends in mischief. and i have alot of friends in the drift world so the window coverd in stickers is kinda a thing to do. im getting the "IM KILLIN IT SARGE" across the bottom of my front windshield.

[Grafton]

lmao @ the +5hp sticker

[xXGTBspecXx]

i saw it and had to have it.. plus its gives me a extra 5 HP's so i couldnt resist. lol

[liquidracing]

nope

[xXGTBspecXx]

i have a DOHC EJ25 that has a long list of mods. so i got the sticker. they have a bunch of varients ie. 2JZ tuning

and that F**KIN stick welder is awesome with 6013 rods it will do exhaust piping without burning through. FLIPPIN AWESOME. just finished my blacked out exhaust with it, no leaks perfect bead woot.

[henryq89]

my moms black widow wrx runs 12.8 with me driving


ur mom has a WRX :shock: tahts hottt man ...watr u runnin under the hood of that wrx??those two stikers are hott man ! (the +5hP and the spider one)

[liquidracing]

nope

[liquidracing]

whoops! double posted.

[xXGTBspecXx]

i need to start bending up pipe for a roll cage.if not 800 bones for a tight cage(cage that isnt visable from side view)

[liquidracing]

been trying to find a bender for two years now.....i should just give up and get one from harbor freight(200 bucks or so)hydraulic man-power, not mandrel(1000bucks---i wish!)

i believe that there is a possible market here. maybe i'll work on this also this winter.

hmmmm..........LiquidRacing LR-1 headers by summer? if i could get my ducks in a row, i'll do it. i have EVERYTHING else, including a 220 arc/MiG(i prefer the 120v though) 220's a LOT of power for 10-12 guage steel, imo.

since i dissolved EQ8 Fabricating right at Thanksgiving, i figure i NEED to do something else. if nothing else, the tax savings alone are worth selling one exhaust system per year.

wow, i think i am SERIOUS about this now!

I'll post some pics if i do this. obviously, i would need pics for my fabrication portfolio.

giving me good thoughts. anyone else think there might be a market? seeing as how there are only like two companys that make headers right now.

[xXGTBspecXx]

if u make a cheap weld kit rollcage id be interested. but theres a harbor frieght down the street and a metal supply next to it. i think i may be able to make my own cage

[liquidracing]

i've never done a roll cage before. can't be any harder than an intake or exhaust, just more time consuming. if you got a tube shop down the street i'd hit 'em up and see what's up. what are you thinking of using? i would almost go galvanized rigid conduit(heavy though).

wat would u cahrge to make a catback for a 98 subaru legacy outback im just looking for simple 2.75-3 inch tube with flow threw muffler (fart can)

[impreza_GC8]

If those were original '98 RS goldies (gold from the factory) I would love to punch you in your throat for painting them.

[xXGTBspecXx]

[xXGTBspecXx]

no they arent gold. the lighting in the picture made them look gold. they were silver and f'ed up bad. if i had a set of gold ones id put a price tag on them..

[impreza_GC8]

Agreed man, I've got a set of goldies that are my race setup on my RS and I searched long and hard and saved up some money to get them. Yours look good red/black time attack, my friend has had his that way for a few years now.

[xXGTBspecXx]

i didnt know what time attack wheels looked like until i painted my konig blatant WR blue and painted the spokes black. some one made fun of me for copying time attacks.and i told them off. so i like to consider painting the lip a diff color then the spokes my flavor to painting rims. view my myspace page to see the wheels im talking about.the link is on the mugshot and rides thread page 6

polished my turbo and painted my intercooler today.. bout ready to install this turbo kit.

i dont have a rice bounce but my ride is nice and stiff like i want it. and he rolled/flaired my fenders with his "tool"(baseball bat) check the ride height !! woooo that is sexy.

[sexystover]

man, cutting springs is such a bad idea....

x2

[xXGTBspecXx]

at first so did i but he explained to me how springs worked and i was talked into it.. the guy has had over 40 cars and hes a pro drifter.. he had cut springs on his S14 drift car and it handled amazing. he said if you do it right you just made lowering springs... and i paid him $50 to measure it all out and he calculated stuff and then he made a cut on each spring and it just sat down perfect.. hes friggin skilled. took it out for a ride and it doesnt have the rice bounce either.. its just a softish stiffish ride. i like it but im still getting coilovers.

[TheAngryPidgeon]

the guy has had over 40 cars

Coincidence?

[xXGTBspecXx]

no he buys them builds them and sells them. i trust what he says. dudes got experience. hes got coilovers on his r32 skyline but before he got them he had cut springs and the fitment is just sex.

[99gtlimited]

but you gotta realize that your stock springs have a different spring rate and your not changing that so it's not a lowering spring.... it's a lowered spring (still stock though) which means you run a much higher risk of badly bottoming out your struts and your car!!!!!

[xXGTBspecXx]

oh yea i know that. bottoming out :wink: shoulda said that in the first place.. i was gettin all defensive.. il be using the car to get back and forth to work where all the roads are level. so until i have the money for tein's i really am not worried about the strut bottoming out.

and heres the deal.. you do change the spring rate when you cut springs. when you have lets say 3500lbs on a givin spring its takes that weight and spreads it over the area of the spring.. so. if you take some of that area away you increase its stiffness and spring rate. cool eh? trust me i did some research on what he told me before i let him do it. so its all right.. if i do bottom out my strut it will be cause by me getting airborn or sumthin.. so i should be fine.


you gotta admit my car looks sooo damn sexy with that stance.. omg.

[sexystover]

but you gotta realize that your stock springs have a different spring rate and your not changing that so it's not a lowering spring.... it's a lowered spring (still stock though) which means you run a much higher risk of badly bottoming out your struts and your car!!!!!

not only bottom out but ive seen cut spring become unseeted on big bumps and pierce/damage tires and suspension parts

[99gtlimited]

and heres the deal.. you do change the spring rate when you cut springs. when you have lets say 3500lbs on a givin spring its takes that weight and spreads it over the area of the spring.. so. if you take some of that area away you increase its stiffness and spring rate.


It would be pretty hard to get all the weight of your car on one spring.. .

The main issue with doing this is controlling the heat that is put into the spring while doing this, and most people end up cutting off too much and make the spring either too bouncy or hard as a rock. If you calculate the spring rate you want and find the amount to cut from the stock one to achieve that you are still going to have serious fitment issues. All this while you could have just bought some lowering springs for like 200 bucks...
Also,Your bumpstops are most likely shot as mine were at 60k and one pothole you don't see could be the end of that strut.

I'm not at all trying to hate on your ride, I just hate to see people doing this to their car cause it can be a very hard on the rest of the chassis/suspension and is dangerous and potentially fatal in extreme cases of failure, not to say that that can't happen a bunch of other ways in an automobile but why make an opportunity for something else to go worse?

[xXGTBspecXx]

oh i know where your coming from and he knew what he was doing. he checked all my bushings and made me get a new bumpstop from wilkens subaru thankyou discount and he went and did his business. but all in all. i dont recomend that anyone ever do this. i had someone with a shit ton of expeirence do this and it was done correctly. the spring is secured to the top and bottom of the strut and wont move around when you jack the car up... but these will probably be on the car for no more then 2 months and im buying tein flex coilovers and the EDFC controllers. and with this setup he said i can fit a 18x9.5 rim with a 235 tire stretched on it and have no rubbing problems.

[99gtlimited]

can you say wagonofdoom?

looks good as of now... 18x9.5 is freaking ginormous

[xXGTBspecXx]

hey now my car dont look like something out of fast n the furious 6 and a half. sorry . and 18x9.5 is pefect with 235/40/r18's stretched to fit them. im leaving it to my bud to give my car that drifter look that i love. stretched tires. flaired fenders. :smt016 id lick that fitment.. now i gotta get some rota grid's 18x9.5 with the offest of +15.. thats right im calling guys that run +35 vaginas!! oh snap!

[dplacencia]

I'm running 225-40-18's on 18x8 wheels with megan racing coilovers. It rubs in the rear. I have to roll my fenders. 18x9.5 That sound way wide. :shock: I was thinking about running 235's after rolling the fenders but sybir toll me I will have to flare the fenders or it will rub. :-?

[JDMLegacy]

Damn dude!

It looks good, and as long as it rides good, then no worries! That guy Kyle did it? That's awesome!

no not kyle.. kiely u didnt meet him. next time u come up i gotta take you to towson so you can see his skyline it has a 1jzgtvvti motor(toyota chaser motor)

cutting the springs was questionable..

but DAMN that looks good! :grin:

[Huffer]

hey now my car dont look like something out of fast n the furious 6 and a half.

Actually, it does. Pretty much we all do. :smt017 :smt005

[sexystover]

hey now my car dont look like something out of fast n the furious 6 and a half. sorry . and 18x9.5 is pefect with 235/40/r18's stretched to fit them. im leaving it to my bud to give my car that drifter look that i love. stretched tires. flaired fenders. :smt016 id lick that fitment.. now i gotta get some rota grid's 18x9.5 with the offest of +15.. thats right im calling guys that run +35 vaginas!! oh snap!

guys that run +35 offset may be vaginas to you but atleast they dont have to change their wheel bearings as often as their oil

[xXGTBspecXx]

shhhhhhh your ruining it!

[sybir]

I wouldn't bother with EDFC, for two reasons. One, you'll use it 5 times, then never touch it again. I have it in the STi on the Mono Flex's (because they're inverted and the adjustment knobs are on the bottoms) and once you get the car adjusted, you won't change the ideal damping for a given spring.

Second, it takes only a few seconds to adjsut damping on a wagon, since you don't have to yank rear seats.

Third, and most important, is that they won't fit in the front. There's not enough space between the strut top and the hood to add the motor, without cutting a hole in the hood. Legacy strut towers are higher in the engine bay than WRX towers are (which is why when you go to coils you can't avoid lowering the car significantly; you have to keep the lower strut body threaded sufficiently into the knuckle, and the upright height is taller. This is also why anyone on WRX suspension drops noticeably even before adding lowering springs, even though stock WRX's have acres of wheelgap.

You'll also notice that many front strut braces from Imprezas and even those specific to Legacies will run very, very close to the hood; I have a Legacy MRT brace and it still rubs the hood on the strut top plates.

You could try running a strut top spacer to push the tophat down and address both issues (I still haven't gotten around to it), DanCech and I were discussing that a few years ago.




Enough other people have expressed their concern with cutting springs that I won't get into it, and just urge you to be careful.

[4n70n1n0]

Since he's going for that Drift look he could raise the hood. Longer bolts and washers,or has someone fab something. Like the S13 and FC drivers do and I've seen a DC integra with it too

That could help fit the EDFC's under and add additional cooling

http://is.rely.net/3-99-8760-l-uZ3odRtqv0Okg2ZxQUBSyg.jpg

DISCLAIMER: This S13 is not from my personal picture collection. Personally this car is FUGLY, but try finding a pic on the spot like that :grin:

[xXGTBspecXx]

not to brag but my hood is already raised a half inch and im not to proud of it. and im actually looking at a set of cusco zero2 coilovers. they are nice and stiff.

oh yea and update!! steering wheel installed but not finished..

how much smaller is that wheel compared to stock??

are you too cool for secondary restraint systems (airbags) or is this gonna turn into a dedicated track car with full roll cage and 5 point harness etc...?

[JDMLegacy]

Wow! The steering wheel looks awesome I'll admit it!

Much better than the old one!

Lol

[xXGTBspecXx]

how much smaller is that wheel compared to stock??

eventually this will have a roll cage n all but my airbag is bad it dont work cause i rigged a 9volt to it and nothing happend. and i dont plan on spending the money for a brand new one.so il rely on my 4 point harness from letting my face hit the wheel. i know i isnt safe but its my risk.. pass. airbag is however fully functional. and the steering wheel is a 320mm nice for fast movment

[Navi271]

Do those plastic pieces that house the side heat/AC vents pop out just like the one in the middle??
I just don't want to start pulling and break them off and break something..
I want a steering wheel like that! except i want an airbag too
lookin' GOOD!

well that makes sense. at least you have more than the shitty stock seatbelt to keep yourself going through the windshield.

interesting that your car is 11/12 years old and still has 0 miles :smt017 broken or did you roll it back?

[xXGTBspecXx]

lol umm about that mileage thing...you werent supposed to notice that.. yea i rolled it back but i also wrote down my original mileage so if i ever sell the car i just add the miles i put on from zero and set the ODO to the correct mileage.

[impreza_GC8]

....my airbag is bad it dont work cause i rigged a 9volt to it and nothing happend.
Um. Not sure how to even respond to the above idea.
Cutting springs was questionable.
Rolling the mileage to zero was also questionable and potentially illegal if you misrepresent the mileage at the time of sale.

But the car looks good. *shrug*

[xXGTBspecXx]

now i gotta be honest
i probably wont drive the car for anopther month or so. ive only done a lap aroun the block with the springs cut. im not endangering ppls lives here.. but none the less i never thought a legacy station wagon would look this good ..

[xXGTBspecXx]

heres a better picture of the steering wheel!!!
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/02/CIMG1663-1.jpg

my lug nuts came in the other day and there will be pictures of those coming soon. as well as better pics of the plug wires!

[peugoby]

why did you roll back the miles to 0? Is your cruise control and turn signal canceler going to work with the new wheel?

[xXGTBspecXx]

cruise control im making a braket for... turn signal canceller doesnt exist anymore. im not a lazy driver tho i can flip it back up.

[99gtlimited]

so what was the point of rolling it back?? seems like your just asking for trouble down the line

[xXGTBspecXx]

the point of rolling it back.. hmm i felt like doing it. i wrote down the original mileage so if i ever sell the car i can set the cluster to the correct mileage.. i think i said this already somewhere... new motor no miles on motor.. No miles on cluster :smt023

[Reason]

Too many people worried about what he is doing to his car. :roll:

[xXGTBspecXx]

thankyou...

[99gtlimited]

the point of rolling it back.. hmm i felt like doing it. i wrote down the original mileage so if i ever sell the car i can set the cluster to the correct mileage.. i think i said this already somewhere... new motor no miles on motor.. No miles on cluster :smt023

Ok. that makes sense, cause now you can still have recordings for actual mileage and mileage on the new engine. Just be careful if you ever sell it cause you have to make sure you not that the vehicle does not display actual mileage or else you can end up with a lawsuit/jail time

[97legacygt]

Too many people worried about what he is doing to his car. :roll:

The same thing is happening to him that happened to wagonofdoom. Everybody is harassing him for personalizing his car and doing something different. He can do what he wants to do.

[strat81]

we picked up a similar steering wheel for our wagon (except ours has the yellow stripe at the top)

[xXGTBspecXx]

yea i orderd the yellow ring at the top but they said it got damaged and they had a red ring available. so i said ship the red one!!!

[Airgne]

im likeing his car. he is reall moding it.

[99gtlimited]

so did the steering wheel come with the sti center or is that something you added?

personally i like the red, i think yellow would've been a little too bright and distracting, although if it had yellow stitching to match that would be cool.

got anything else waiting to be installed soon?

[xXGTBspecXx]

i have muteki lug nuts that im going to make liz install tomorrow lol and i just orderd a red quick release hub so i can take the steering wheel into places with me !! and the STI sticker on the horn was an "option" it came with a blank horn and 2 diff STi stickers. me being me i chose the pink one.. other then that im not buying anything else but coilovers and rims for this car. im starting to save up some mola to get this Ver 4 Sti in my driveway..(its not really a ver 4 sti but when im done with it, it will be)

[JDMLegacy]

Hahah I never get to do any thing important... Ehh

I'm gonna slip the lugs in to my pocket and run off, they would look much nicer on my car

;)

[xXGTBspecXx]

5 of them are already on my car so it wouldnt be worth it to you..

[97legacygt]

So she only needs to buy 5 instead of 20. Whats the big deal? lol

[strat81]

personally i like the red, i think yellow would've been a little too bright and distracting, although if it had yellow stitching to match that would be cool.

actually, the yellow ring is more performance oriented as it helps you to see the orientation of the steering wheel when you are driving without really having to look at the steering wheel. (rally, etc...)

[xXGTBspecXx]

yea and that why i bought it..i need that ring cause of what i do. but the yellow woulda looked dumb with red stitching i dont want a wheel that looks like it came out of a happy meal.. :roll:

[sexystover]

this car is going to be awesome when its done but i see one down side, why are you not swapping in a 5spd?

[xXGTBspecXx]

abalfiblebirgur.... cause i havent found a 5spd that would be strong enough yet.

[97legacygt]

abalfiblebirgur.... cause i havent found a 5spd that would be strong enough yet.

What automatic will be strong enough?

[xXGTBspecXx]

no no i havent swapped it yet cause i havent found a 5spd yet... so untill i find one il leave the 4EAT in it

[oskar_subaru]

actually, the 4eat is not that bad, i had my sus for a year and it took all that i could throw at it. and i did NOT go easy on it.

[4n70n1n0]

aren't the 4EAT able to pull double the weight that our 5spd tranny can?

just added a quick release hub so i can take my wheel in with me at walmart LOL

ummm i wont comment... lol ive had 2 wrx's and that is all that needs to be said.. but im happy with what im getting with a non running station wagon..



now boosted motorcycles on the other hand... well thats something only a few of us have expeirenced.. oh il never forget the day i took out my buddies turboed busa.

I'll just laugh at that comment :lol:

all fun and games man.. lol no harm meant.

[2.5GT]

but your airbag light is on? :eek:

and how hard was it to install the hub? did you get one off an impreza?

[xXGTBspecXx]

no airbag light...and u buy the hub adapter for a wrx yes.. everything you see is aftermarket.. hub quick release and steering wheel.

installation was easy. the hard part is taking your wheel off. then you slide everything else on.. but you have to make sure that when u put it all on the steering wheel is straight up and down with your wheels too...

NOTE this combo of hub and quick release bring the steering wheel pretty close to big peoples chest. not recommended without proper harness straps..

[2.5GT]

how you get the airbag light to go away?

and what year impreza? ...i want one of those suede type steering wheel..i love the feel of it :eek:

[xXGTBspecXx]

you buy a hub for a wrx any year. and then you go pick whatever steering wheel you want.and i used a 3 ohm resister to make the bag light go away..

[Reason]

ill laugh back.. then laugh again when i walk a certain sumones 1100 in a station wagon too. :shock: :grin: JK i wont laugh that time.

Sorry... but when you see fingerprints on plastic and dirt on the lower part of the bumper - it's not spotless. Am I being overly-critical? Yes, but then I'm not the one laying claim to the "sexiest wagon the east coast that isn't german". :smt016

it rained and the bug deflector was set on it... man do i have to take pics after i wipe the car off everytime... see you guys at the track then with your show quality paint.. il be overtaking some porsches while your wiping down your leggy's in the parkin lot.

[2.5GT]

Hm..still, there is not enough clearance in the rear for that big of a tire. unless it's all worn out.

and i doubt that our legacy can take out Porsches. Unless you really have that far of a car and that of a really good driver :lol:

[xXGTBspecXx]

you dont know me as well as you think you do then.. 235s do fit in a wagons rear i can take pics of my tires if you want they say 235 45 17 on them. and im not the best driver out there but better then most.. i drive best in the rain.. i like a challenge. as soon as my car is boosted il be in the 300 hp range at the crank. that can take out some lower class porshes such as the boxster s and the older carrera. they arent as fast as need for speed makes them out to be.

[Huffer]

Pat Olsen already did the porsche killing a few years back with a cammed EJ25. ;)

And seriously, stop taking yourself so damn seriously all the time. :smt020

[2.5GT]

I just want to see the clearance between the inner tire and the strut. Right now, I have 215/45 and it's really close...

and you like the challenge? well, i challenge you to go offroading with me! :lol:

[impreza_GC8]

So we are all allowed to express our opinion and since you were shooting down the advice of some of the people above me, here's my advice:

Take it down a notch captain. Talk all you want but all we see are BIG PLANS which mean nothing. You are becoming like that make-out obsessed high schooler with an Outback who was gonna do like 8 different swaps.

it rained and the bug deflector was set on it... man do i have to take pics after i wipe the car off everytime... see you guys at the track then with your show quality paint.. il be overtaking some porsches while your wiping down your leggy's in the parkin lot.
The bug deflector looks terrible, just because its free doesn't mean you should put it on your car. Not only is it a ridiculous mod just because it looks terrible but that deflector is now directing air (and bugs) OVER your hood scoop rather than in it. Get a grill, it doesn't look mean or cool without it, it looks like something is missing, perhaps because something is missing. Have fun when road debris smashes through your exposed radiator. You know big bugs can bend fins right? You will not get anywhere near the track or get close to overtaking Porsches when you are stretching a 205 over some wide rims. Have fun with curb rash, leave that setup to the Euro kids.


and im not the best driver out there but better then most.. i drive best in the rain.. i like a challenge. as soon as my car is boosted il be in the 300 hp range at the crank. that can take out some lower class porshes such as the boxster s and the older carrera. they arent as fast as need for speed makes them out to be.
Perhaps it is you who has been playing too much need for speed thinking that you will drop in this magic turbo kit and make 300 to the crank. Still haven't seen how you plan on running that engine without EMS. Coming from someone who is running a hybrid setup using an off the shelf ECU, you will never reach 300hp without a standalone or a wiring harness merge incorporating a WRX or STI ECU + some sort of EMS. Additionally, save for a very few cases, even a "lower class" Porsche will outhandle a Legacy wagon.


All that said, I like your wagon a lot. The new stance looks awesome. Just throwing out some food for thought.

[99gtlimited]

did you use a baseball bat for the fender rolling?

lol This comment always makes me laugh. Maybe I'm alone on this one (now don't get me wrong, I like fast cars and all) but I'll take a nicer looking car over a "porche eater" any day. I have a motorcycle if I want to go fast... take fast corners you say? maybe not myself but I have a friend that can take most people on here in the twisties on his bike.

We all have our opinions on what is call and what not. keeping doing you and what makes you happy. Don't get your panties in a up roar if someone disagrees with you. Some may be serious, some are just busting your balls. Would I like to have your car? NOPE, would I like to drive it when its finished hell yea :smt023

[rougeben83]

*yawn* call me when your car's speed can actually back up what its looks is promising...

Sorry, my inner boost-douche just came out. :razz: :smt002

[impreza_GC8]

^ Don't feel bad. Mine came out a couple posts above. Something about chasing down Porsches while the rest of the forum was wiping their cars off in the parking lot made it happen.

LOL good point. but dont go off talking about my car and use cars you dont have anymore as a reference for something better. but all this humors me so il let it continue and in a few weeks or so il give you guys the full mod list. i love secrets.. liz doesnt even know what is really done to my car.

What does it matter that I don't have the car anymore? I was giving an example of spotless, not claiming the sexy sedan on the east coast or anything (even though it WAS :smt029 )

Maybe I know nothing about cars, but what possibly could have have done to your car (that's a "secret") that will knock us on our asses? lol wait... Do you have a flux capacitor??? :shock:

[xXGTBspecXx]

yea dude dont do that.. thats like a below the belt thing man. besides she likes this site. shes still gunna post here. i probably wont. i mean i will occasionally. but not everyday like i do now.

[Huffer]

Don't do what? Anyone who's following this site know's you and her hooked up. You're always working on her car, she's always talking about how she drove up to you, how she's got your wheels on her car blah blah blah.

It's not like it's some secret - even your location profile says you're in Fairmount, WV.

Well, it's been nice having you if you decide to leave. *shrug*

[impreza_GC8]

Oh snapz hookup info!
Lawl at where this thread has gone. So, you sold it with a hydra and a built block.... and have an old STI shell with no engine in it whatsoever that you expect to get on the road? You sir are the king of optimism! I wish you the best of luck!

[xXGTBspecXx]

sorry i just assumed that you.. nvm i got confused. been a shitty day. im going to regret this sale but.. life goes on.

[MyogiNightKid]

sorry ive been holding this in.. go buy a honda its more suitable for you.

Apology accepted.

I only wish I could say you were getting away from Subbies so Id know you wouldnt create another eyesore like the one you just robbed someone of 9500 dollars for.

[xXGTBspecXx]

LOL dude that tops at least 5 chuck norris jokes..besides you act as tho your car was even comparable. dont attack someone out of your league.

[MyogiNightKid]

so far without the cage being done my total is $3,758 and i purchased the car for $3,300


You're telling me then that someone paid nearly 10k for what is essentially, a built 2.5?

[xXGTBspecXx]

wow. a built 2.5... read the mod list one more time.. then try to be a comedian..... theres no helping you is there. like i said buy a honda. civic preferably. they have a slightly higher rollover rate..

[rougeben83]

lol sli drama.

:smt006

[xXGTBspecXx]

awesome huh..

[MyogiNightKid]

It's got potential with the boost, cage etc etc you spoke of planning but without any of those I cant see the value.

[xXGTBspecXx]

cage is in the car not welded up but in the car.. also the turbo is in the car.. soo maybe i can interest you in some glasses.

[MyogiNightKid]

mods to come.

6point cage
wilwood big brake kit for 2.5rs front and rear.
wrx brake booster.
older JDM STi abs unit.
turbo kit.

Bride VIOs seats .
2 takata 5 point harness.

Alright since this thread now shows high schoolers fighting over cock sizes I will have to lay my down on the table to stop it. So if you need to fight take it to PM's. I don't want to have to lock a members ride thread... owns it or not.

So which brings me to my first question. Now theres no reason to keep the cat in the bag... what is this "secret weapon" of yours that we should be waiting for, or waited since... whatever.

And if that wreck comment is towards me then... lol

[MyogiNightKid]

No attacks, just thought the car didn't have the turbo or the cage or anything else included.

And while they're both animated, Initial D is anime, not a cartoon.

Besides I'm a bit more partial to Wangan Midnight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangan_midnight) anyway

im not sure i understand...
your laying your cock down on the table to stop it?

you'd think that would make everyone laugh at you wouldn't it? :grin:

Unfortunately the car is already gone. No chance for us to get any of the parts from the car. I'm sad about that especially the rain visors. I have no AC so it sucks when its hot and rainy. Get back to me about my PM, I want a set.
