97 legacy GT twin turboz

look for many mods very very soon

[4n70n1n0]

WOW! I love the color. I don't think it would look as good on a BD, but it's looking awesome on the wagon

Oh how I wish could go to JDMLand *sigh*

[Huffer]

That's in good shape. Are those Speedline wheels?

[wagonofdoom]

yeah they are 17x7 +45 it hink, totally for sale

[Huffer]

I'd paint those Speedlines gunmetal. Total badass.

Not necessarily your "VIP-drifto" style, but old-school track attack for sure.
:)

That cashmere color is rare BTW.

[wagonofdoom]

not wide enough
i hate em

ill sell em to someone.

what are they worth?

[Huffer]

To me, $2 because I'm not a fan of the design, but I think they look good anyway. ;)

If you sell them, throw them up on Nasioc.com or RS25.com.
Those guys are parts whores, regardless of the look. I bet if you throw some Japanese stamps in the boxes they'd stick them on the car. :lol:

17x7 is plenty wide for a BG - the rear wheel wells are not the biggest, so you'd need a decent roll+pull job to fit something bigger...but you probably have that in the plans anyway.

What's the cost to own a 10+ year car in Japan? I thought it was pretty expensive?

[Reason]

Those are nice rims but not a good color for your car. Silver gunmetal like Roger said would look good. But I bet you plan on putting on some big dirty ass rims anyway to scare the children of Japan with lol

i paid 1200 for it, and it has inspection till next year.
500 bucks or so for reinspection and im good for 2 years.

not sure what its gonna go on it, figured out 9 +25 with a healthy roll and pull will do its.

That's not bad. Are there big tax advantages to buying new cars or something? I'm trying to work out why the export market for Jap-spec vehicles to Australia & New Zealand is such big business.

9" wide w/ 25 offset is going to RUIN the wheel bearings. Just FYI. Lowest I would go for offset on a Subaru is 35, and that would be for show only.

[wagonofdoom]

blah blah blah blah wheel bearing blah blah blah blah

i ran this for 6 months with no problem

That's great, but that's not a Subaru.
blahblahblahblahblah
:lol:

[wagonofdoom]

really, they cant be THAT bad

i mena really.

how are all the race cars dealing with it wth 9 and 9.5j wheels

[Huffer]

really, they cant be THAT bad
i mena really.
how are all the race cars dealing with it wth 9 and 9.5j wheels

Race-spec wheel bearings... and the fact that they probably replace them or tear them down after every event.

Wheel bearing failure on Subaru's is well-documented, it's usually attributed to age, but obviously aggressive offsets will accelerate this.

[wagonofdoom]

bleh bleh bleh

ill keep a spare set around


but really, at least 8.5s are going on the car
i have 215/40 ona 17x7, decent tires....and its just not enough grip

[Huffer]

Not enough grip? Get new tyres and a little more neg. camber on

The increased contact patch from a wider tyre/wheel combo isn't as noticeable as better rubber and better alignment settings.

Don't forget the performance degradation from running a heavier tyre/wheel set too. You'll probably throw some forged lightweight wheels on though to combat this.

But hey, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

[wagonofdoom]

you know me all too well

wheels have some advans on it now. i want to run 8.5 or 9 with 225.40/18s


hey, what is the rule of thumb with staggars?

can i run an 8 front and 9 rear without problems with AWD....is ther ea % of rolling diameter i need to stay within or will the center diff compensate

[birukun]

I remember reading that the rolling circumference needs to be within 1/4" or something silly like that.

Wide should be OK, but I never though my car could handle tires that wide - are you putting flares on those fenders?

It kills me that I can get a totally clean car from the Junkyard in Japan that somebody PAID to junk for $500. I changed cars every year when I lived there. The hard part was seeing the 'base dealers' selling the $500 Integra for $2500. People just don't know when they first get there.

Keep thos pics coming!

[DOOK]

grant you know I looked into the stagger... problem is, you have a 1/4 tolerance as far as rolling circumferences is concerned, but the weight difference is going to kill the center diff... from all account I've found anyways... anywho... the cashmere yellow... yummy... you should get yourself some advan RS in the gunmetal finish for it... that would be sexy.

PS... I like seeing pictures of the porch without my parts on it :lol:

interesting

only reason i ask is there is a good deal on VSXX up here



Also, is there an offset DIFFERENCE between the front and rear?
I knwo you guys mostly get the same offsets all around, but i were to put like 23 on the rear on a 17x8 and a 17x8 +32 on the front.

i notice that on a few leggys i have see, the fronts are pretty flush while the rears are kinda sunken in. and i want to make sure maybe they dont just have spacers in teh front or wahtever.

these wheels
http://www.upgarage.com/upgarage/gazou/0806/0806152001335/0806152001335s0_s.jpg
are a set i am looking at.

and a set of vsxx as well (not the stagger)

[adw_terror]

im running +38 17x8's with a 225/45 and im rubbing in the back on hard corners... it sits pretty flush in the rear, but the front has 5mm spacers... and just to let you know grant, ive had to replace my front wheel bearings twice already... i would suggest having the bx garage do the work the first time and everytime they go bad after that have them replace it under warranty for free
-Josh

[wagonofdoom]

cause you dont know how to fit wheels, or buy non knockoff wheels :)


fuck the bx garage. i do all my own work you know that. people that pay other people to do their work, when they have the facilities to do it themselves are bitches.

[subba]

dude all you need is a set of advan super racing ver2 and your car looks just like my wagon on gt4 lol

[DOOK]

you can run different offsets front to rear no problem... on mine, I could use about a +30 in the rear, the front is flush with +35.

[adw_terror]

cause you dont know how to fit wheels, or buy non knockoff wheels :)


fuck the bx garage. i do all my own work you know that. people that pay other people to do their work, when they have the facilities to do it themselves are bitches.

I know how, but i choose not to when a set of wheels AND tires comes along for $200 and theyre light too... thats all i care about when it comes to wheels- looks, weight, and width(as long as offset fits the car of course)... i dont like paying extra money for a name

and i mentioned the bx garage so that you dont have to pay out of pocket for wheel bearings every few months... but hey, youre in the AF and have deep pockets so good luck! lol

.....But why?

[wagonofdoom]

its a style. thats it.

no real reason, its just part of the VIP style.

[Reuben]

Looks like something's very broken. And with those tyres, in the snow!? I'd fear for my life! I'm sorry, but that's just silly...




The GTB on the other hand looks bloody great. I'd love to see those volks on it, i was actually after some of those for my wagon, before the engine rebuild X(

If it's a manual, keep a close ear out for any engine knocking. The EJ20R's love to blow big end bearings.

[Kansei]

thats a little harsh man.....

[Reuben]

Yes, yes it is.. maybe a little too harsh... edited before it gets reported :neutral:

[Kansei]

I know I wouldnt like it but some people just have the kinda money to spend on wheelbearings and tires every month or so....

and I say its not fair....

[Reuben]

lol. I could think of much better places to put the coin. I hope the GTB doesn't end up like that, they are not so suitible for "V.I.P"

[adw_terror]

i dont think he's going for the "VIP" style with this car... he told me hes already got aero ordered for it so we'll see
-Josh

[Kansei]

What kinda aero?

dont need to bite your tounge with me.

I have heard it all from im a maniac, im an idiot, im a stupid wanna be. Everyone has something to say about the car.

dont feel the need to be nice lol. I dont have soft skin

[wagonofdoom]

real Iiberal
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2008/07/01k-1.jpg

no VIP here
work VSXX (most likely) semi flat black, pink metallic stars down the side

it is my wives car, not mine. so whatever she wants to do with it im down. Even if its hideous, she will have what SHE wants, and further her interest in teh car hobby.

dont plan on running alot of camber, as little as possible actually. we will see how the car handles once i get the Racing Gear coilovers on, and better wheels and tires, then sway bars and a few things. Then it will go to the track and i will dial it all in.

and price. you are consistently one of the cheapest people i have ever seen when it comes to modding a car. I mean your front lip looks like garden edging with screws holding it on.

spend some money, do shit right, then you will be on my level. until then, your still an infant in the car world

btw, i cant remember who, but someone said you claimed you were making over 300HP with your car.

i couldnt help but bust out laughing.

[Huffer]

Cut the crossfire chatter. Stop talking crap about other people's ability to spend money or NOT.

Consider this a general warning, new guys and old guys alike.

[wagonofdoom]

thats cool, i will just rag on him at work like i always do.

That's fine. See not everyone here knows the relationship, so when they read comments it may fire someone else up. I know you have a thick skin, but we have some young'ins around here too. You know how hot they can get!

You are a maniac, but we are do for something different. people in the Subaru community fear different. If's it's not like the next one theres something wrong with "you". I can't wait to see these wheel camber like the DeLorean in Back to the future. lol

[wagonofdoom]

lol
it wont be that extreme

at that camber i had to literally check my tires before i went to work, and when i got home to make sure they would work the next day

i always had 4 spare wheels with tires on them with around the same offsets (so count TWO pairs of super low offset wheels) in case i had to replace one. I cahnge all my own tires, and have a crap ton of tires left oer.

BUT i am done with that style for meow, so expect normal camber on it, but a big pull/roll before we paint it semi flat black

[DOOK]

speaking of the wife grant... hows she feeling? You guys need anything? (besides me spending more money on car parts right now, my testicles have been threatened if I buy more parts)

[wagonofdoom]

lol nah, she is back at work now. she is feeling better. Now she is learning to drive her car everyday lol

[wagonofdoom]

so, grill came in
no clue the brand but i <3 it.

Those are going to look so good it's not funny. But 22 mm offset!? That's insane!

And have you decided which turbo you want to use for the single turbo conversion? :lol:

[wagonofdoom]

not my major concern
i still need a new garrett for hte stagea
60 trim compressor 86 turbine trims

legacy is fine for now. i wonteven be driving it in a week or so. im sure the primary will go out soon anyways and i will do it when it does.

[nosbocaj]

Wow! Sick Wagon. I wish we got cars like that here in the US. :-(

[wagonofdoom]

you do....you just gotta get a few different parts to make it look the same...

[DOOK]

grant... i hate you for getting vs-xx... you know this is what I want...

[wagonofdoom]

dook, seriously ill sell em to you for cheap

[Perdue]

Like Shane said, people in the subaru community really fear change/difference, even though we have one of the most diverse communities I've ever been a part of. Anything outside of "normal" is wrong. Look at D-Money's Pink Advans over on NASIOC. Very few of us liked that, and it was just a wheel color. Something different from the Bronze, gunmetal, silver, gold, and so on. The way I see it, everyone has their own style and own likes...from cars, to women, to jobs. Do what you love and be happy with it. One of you likes the VIP style. The other likes the simple, sporty daily driver. I have mad respect for both styles and no matter which you like, you should both be able to respect the amount of work put into each other's cars, whether you like the finished product or not. THAT is what makes a true car-guy. :smile:

[DOOK]

does it make me a bad person that I'm contemplating getting rid of my works in favor of something else?

[wagonofdoom]

Insanity. What tyres you got on there?

Once you get some handly parts in there, that thing is going to handle like it's on rails :D

[sexystover]

do a diy on rolling pulling fenders!?

[DOOK]

do a diy on rolling pulling fenders!?

hahahahaha... you can find 15 thousand of those all over the internet and it's not that hard in the first place....

[sybir]

A DIY for that is scary, because you need the right tools and a bit of expertise; it's not hard but it takes time and doing it right without requiring repainting is an art.

It's the same reason I don't like lending out my fender roller; last guy I gave it to unsupervised literally separated his rear unibody (as in, see the wheel from the trunk) and was begging me for help on how to fix it.....heh.

[wagonofdoom]

yeah, basically the way i am doing it is cutting slits in the fender lip, becuase subarus have such a weak metal fender anyways so it wont put stress on it in more than one way. Then on the rear you roll the inner fender UP and THEN out, and then move down to the actual fender lip. I use a blowtorch (fuck heat guns) to soften the inside metal, as that is stronger than the actual fender metal. rolling a fender for looks is super easy. Rolling it for CLEARANCE is a different story.

i rolled my fenders on the cedric and you cant even tell
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2008/08/2112752936_295ca172f7-1.jpg

it takes alo of patience. I am expecting to spend around 3 hours on the rear fenders alone with a grinder, body hammers and dollys and my roller.

[DOOK]

yeah, I'm finally gonna HAVE to break out the fender roller on the suby I think... grant, how about you call me sometime when I'm not moving a huge plasma screen TV or you aren't looking for bike parts... oh yeah, hey I'll PM you on zilvia about some shit.

It's funny, I wasn't sure what I was going to think of the end product, but it looks great.

I can picture something similar with the '04-'06 STi fenders for a widebody look

Good job, guy. Definitely bringing something different to the SL-i table.

Oh god those look perfect.



But the grille looks like arse though, put the factory one back on :wink:



Just messing with yah :razz:

[sybir]

Came out nice, Grant. It looks like you pulled the fronts as well, did you just toss the fender liners? That's the only thing keeping me from doing my fronts, I still do snow and don't want to ditch 'em and I can't see a good way to keep them in place without doing a piece of flashing up inside the fender lip or something...

[DOOK]

he didn't touch the fronts actually... nothing, not even a roll.

fender liners are for vagina hating men...ie gay people.

they dont do anything. all your wires are loomed, and no electonics i could find are exposed if you remove them.

mine were thrown away the DAY i bought the car like i do with every car.
fronts the lips were hammered flat but that is all. nothing else. no rubbing yet that i can find except in the rear becuase the left side isnt as far out as the right.
but i can fix that

[sybir]

I play in the snow and don't like packing the arches full, or slinging rocks at my fenders (had a crapload of star cracks on my drift Leg, since it was too low to run liners).

No electronics are exposed, but I don't like looms hanging out and I'm too lazy to rerun them inside the inner fender on a daily (since my daily gets 35-40k on it per year, a rubbing situation turns into a PITA situation pretty quick).

I figured you did the fronts, you can see it in the pics, I've just seen some people play with stretching liners with heat guns, etc and was curious if you did anything to keep 'em.

Anyways, back to the car. Still planning on painting it?

[wagonofdoom]

hell yeah
almost got the kit maybe 2 weeks from now gonna pick it up

then gotta do soem more fender work for hmy potential new wheels, and paint

17x9 +something or other stagger CRkais in gunmetal.

if these vsxx go t the owner that wants them. if not they are getting sent out for a full refurb and gunmetal center...maybe pink.

i am in japan right now and i have yet to see that yellow on any subaru! i have seen a GenIII wagon in WRB but that is about it! It looks sweet! what is the paint code on it??? I wonder if it is the same as the 2002 WRX yellow!

[wagonofdoom]

yerrow is ugry thats why

japan is overrated. the US is just as cool, you just have to mod different

It's commonly called Cashmere Yellow. Not the same as Sonic/Blaze Yellow from the 02 WRX. No idea on paint code, not too many places have it.

[Huffer]

I don't think so. Japspec cars tend to get the higher power outputs, nicer alloy suspension bits and typically better interior bits. None of the US or Pacific built cars ever came with auto climate control until 2005. Japspec cars have had that since 1998.

Oh, DCCD in the mid-late 90s was nice too, not to mention the abundance of sub-compact models to mess with. There's just no variety in the US market. Everythings about big SUVs, trucks and luxury sedans.

[wagonofdoom]

um no

mustang
etc etc etc

like i said, just a different style of modification

[wagonofdoom]

back in the 60s yes

but its the small minded, idiotic masses that think that.

ever autocrossed a mustang with coils and 255s all around? Its rediculous.

again, a different style of modification.

Fox body Mustangs are great for drifting. However, what's the difference between the USDM spec Mustang and the JDM one? Other than the wheel on the opposite side.

Huffer, I understood what you meant. USDM spec built Japananese cars ARE a bit under powered in comparison to their JDM twins.

[wagonofdoom]

nothing, nothign at all.

but im not taking fox body, im taking newer like 2000+ or whatever. i got to drive around a track prepped (mainly suspension and tires with i/h/e/gears/cam) an i was thoroughly impressed.

[Okin DaVanh]

Anything prepped for the occasion is what it is.
The 06 and up Saleens are nice as well as the Roush.

[wagonofdoom]

but even stock for stock, a stock GT handles way better than a stock legacy...and other cars.


they are entry level performance cars....not race cars.

but dollar for dollar an american type car will make better sense...IMO

only major money needs to go to fix the shitty suspensions some of htem have OEM.q

Ho damn, I've actually been planning on doing this myself. Meant for a 240z?

Also, will they interfere with opening the rear doors?

ok, so everything fits. now i have to trim the front fender, and cut the rear, bend and weld it together. I decided against molding the flares for NOW. i have inspection in feb, and the flares will bump me up a plate meaning more insurance, and more road tax each year. so if i leave it like this, i can just take em off and pass inspection with teh cut fenders.

put the wing on too. we shall see if it does a damn thing

[deadlydave]

Sick, sick car man. Don't know how I feel on the wing, I've never actually seen anything like that on a legacy wagon. You certainly have an even more unique ride now.

[DOOK]

Sick, sick car man. Don't know how I feel on the wing, I've never actually seen anything like that on a legacy wagon. You certainly have an even more unique ride now.

if you know grant, it fits 110%. Have you tested at speed yet grant? How much downforce does the wing create? I'd imagine a good bit being right over the roof line.

[wagonofdoom]

as for any numbers, i cant tell you.
I know it worked on the cedric in making a hUGE difference in stability over 100KM ish

id assume it would work if i needed it to. but its just there cause it looks cool. I mounted it correctly, and foam filled the top of hte hatch, so its stable as all hell. but really i just had it sitting here and i decided to use it lol.
plut it looks bad ass

[DOOK]

I bet it plants your ass end at high speeds... I gotta think the roofrack bars would help create some sort of wind current and would exaggerate it too... can't wait to tell results... paint the sides of the wing, the cedric was white... subaru is yellow... hahahaha

[xXGTBspecXx]

wow that dont look half bad. i like the wing lots an the flares. i might being doing this as well since my cars going flat black. what car are those flare for ?

[wagonofdoom]

s13

[peugoby]

I'm indifferent on the wing.

The flares could look good once color matched. You really need some more rubber under that thing now! Even those very aggressive Works look puny on there.

Some 18" TE-37's in gold +0 offset would look really sick.
:smt023 for originality though!

[nosbocaj]

Awesome! The flares look sick as hell!

no, regular TE37s... newer jeeps are 5x5.5 which is 5x114.3, so japanese wheels will generally work.

[wagonofdoom]

[Plays_with_Toys]

I have to admit the car was gorgeous as was.... Has a chance in it's new direction. The color is absolutely gorgeous and never seen here in the states, so seeing new non-matching colors makes me sad.

I've seen the time attack wagon look though, and it can definitely work.

[wagonofdoom]

ts not a look, this car will be on the track...doing time attack lol

[2.5GT]

Are you planing on getting rid of the roof rails? looks much cleaner if it's gone :grin:

i race downhill mountain bikes. lol

psh, have you seen 1 car in japan without an obnoxious wing after "the fast and the furious"? (and america for that matter)

Front Canards for the huge gap between the flares and front cover?

[wagonofdoom]

i have no idea what you are talking



i dont know if you guys realize, but this isnt a fucking show car. everyones all worried about how it looks, or how it flows. the ONLY reason i have a kit on it is becuase its hard as a rock. Liberal makes some of the thickest and sturdy FRP kits out there. That way, when i mount the front splitter and the undertrays attatched to the skirts, they wont flex as much as OEM pieces. Little gaps, imperfections arent gonna bother me. i am more worried about how this thing will perform. I mean, why do you think i painted it in my front yard?

[wagonofdoom]

huffer hit it on the head.


dont take offense at all, its just how i am in real life as well.

well...

anyways..

i'd love to have enough money to do any of that...
:smt007

[wagonofdoom]

youd be surprised how little money in this car i have because i did everything...

car was like 800 bucks
i traded a bride seat for the RPF1s
body kit for 250 bucks
paint supplies were 275
compressor was 100 on sale
gun was free.99
coilovers are blown and came with the car, the set im going to get are like 600 used.
the wheels are the expensive part, 1100 for hte 57ds or 1700 for hte varianzas depending on what i order (yeah i still didnt go through with an order yet...im undecided)
wing was like 50 bucks form some kid


i mean, as you can see i havent spent alot of money. its just a matter of finding deals over here.

[Huffer]

Part of the overall issue (and part-envy that we have) is that JDM deals are so much easier for you to get because of where you are... For us, that kit or even just the car is in the hundreds, if not thousands. Right now the only "factory finish" GTB conversion is still selling for $11k. To buy one for $800 is ridiculous and makes no sense for any of us here.

Keep rocking!

[wagonofdoom]

yeppers, which is why in part alot of people cant really understand why i do what i do.

Cars i do this to, my 180, cedric, stagea, i got for les htan 3500.00 for hte car. At that price it is pretty much expendable. i can do whatever and not feel bad when i blow it up, or run it into a wall.

i mean, as you can see i havent spent alot of money. its just a matter of finding deals over here.

im moving to where you are, lol

:smt023 On the money. After PM'ing Grant direct, I can kinda understand what's going on. Not to mention, the time consumption and effort put into his car and (Me) not realizing that.


I can relate in a sense. Customers at our shop drop thousands into cars they beat the crap outta, and rarely ever see a show. After tracking and crashing or getting rid of a car after the season, they come back to build a more practical car for their application. I'm not saying that's the case here, but the "behind the scene" is similar.

There are plenty of people here pushing the envelope with something different, but not many have abrasive attitudes. Something, I guess we don't expect. Hence remembering we're looking at someone who is "unique" and shouldn't be placed in a mold.




Do your thing Grant. It's coming along well.

[wagonofdoom]

plus you gotta remember i came from nissans to begin with. my last 3 cars were nissans that were extensively modified. with al lthe idiots we have roaming around you kinda have to be a dick sometimes becuase htey expect to be hand fed

Are you gonna wet sand a buff this thing? or is this just a quickie and go?



That's why that was asked.

When you buff it, the pearl will flex and bend more causing your cars' bodylines to appear more softer.





















Oh yeah, and pics of the finished product IN SUNLIGHT, Please.

[wagonofdoom]

yeah yeah, i will eventually

now that its wetsanded though, the flake doesnt pop as much for some reason. but its like a mirror at an angle, but i realized in white, you cant be straight on and see a reflection. I thought it was just my car, but i went up to a few other cars, and like looked straight on at the door adn cant see muyself, but at an angle i can see everything.

its super weird

[wagonofdoom]

KG/MM coils are here bishes

going on tomorrow no more shitty suspension

coilovers are onnnnn..check the diff in shaft size (hehehe)
upon more research this shit is as good as aragosta apparently are what the local shops are telling me, and the intranet. the stiffer spring rate tightens EVERYTHING up. feels sooo much better and more smoothe in the turnies.

these arent the new wheels. these are my track wheels. I went with a non super aggressive so i can put a fatty 235/40 on a 8j without rubbing nything

[sybir]

Nice, glad the coils worked out. That height looks perfect, and will be crazy with the new wheels.

[wagonofdoom]

rear is done (i already fixed the exhaust lean, i had to get adjustable hangar bushing things)

Rear bumper is on order (new used OEM one) and i have the stuff to block off the stock hole for the muffler.

You bring shame to the Legacy name.

We have the same exhaust set up w/ a different rear diffuser on the BMW 850.

I like the diffuser. It's different to some, but functional and looks good to me.

I've got an idea how to seal off that hole, and with very little bodywork, never noticable.

[wagonofdoom]

shit let me know

i was going to use expanding foam and kitty hairto do it, then put a big ass sticker over it

[Huffer]

You bring shame to the Legacy name.

Says the guy with a non-standard engine in his highly touted "JDM GTB". Puh-leese. It's guys like Grant that would have come up with the single turbo conversion, helping someone like you out.

Without innovation there is no progress. Years ago GTB owners were positively lunching motors left and right. Then someone suggested a single turbo switchover. And here we are.

Grant's not doing anything that hasn't already really been done in some form or another in Japan, and everyone's a groupie for Japan. :P

[wagonofdoom]

pretty much

i innovated the coilover and airbag suspension, perfected
s13 suspension on y33
and a few other things in the VIp community.

i do alot of odd things. but at least i can find my car in a sea of subarus....you couldnt there mr Aussie

[peugoby]

Rear diffuser is tits. I'm feelin' it, especially with the rear wing.

[subba]

i can accept the wing and the Diffuser looks nice but the Muffler.... damn meng why? :smt010


Do like me, Drive around with no axel back, just a midpipe :smt028

[wagonofdoom]

cant, i have to drive on base everyday. i was going to run a sidepipe with an Apexi ECV, but this exhaust was dirt cheap. like 80 bucks for a full downpipe (or whtever it is) back. Now it sits all level and perfect since i put the new hangar on and sounds great. plus the other exhaust was too big to put the diffuser on with it

[xXGTBspecXx]

WTF dude its a legacy not a corvette running leguna seca.. i think the exhaust tips should be oval. as for the difffuser ,it doesnt go with the rest of the car.. looks like your starting to get in that car club with the old jap cars and outragous bodykits.

[wagonofdoom]

good to knwo what you think


funny thing is...it will be on Fuji....just as good as laguna

and as always, could care less if you approve or disapprove lol

[subba]

the diffuser is pimmp!

The back end of these wagon is very high when the rest of the car slammed out, i would put one on my waggy XD

[wagonofdoom]

which is why i chose the diffuser instead of a bumper (which i ordered, but whatever)

[subba]

what are you gonna do with the bumper?

[xXGTBspecXx]

im not bein offensive. just giving my opinion. and i want video of u on fuji. track is awesome.... actually now that i think about it. i think the legacy would pull that look off. dude wait. change those tips to some ovals and it would work...
to be honest the first time i saw your cars i was on ziptied and i was impressed. so il shut my mouth and wait till this car is done. then give my opinion.

[deadlydave]

I think your wagon looks mean. I dig the aggressive design philosophy on wagons, and love the idea of super wagons (Audi RS6 v10TT for example). Good luck on-track, and you gotta get some pics and/or video :grin:.

At the end of the day, as you said, you can definitely find your car in a parking lot. Rock on.

[rougeben83]

Got some weird stuff on there. I like it :lol:

The new rear bumper should really have the tip cutout eliminated, I think it will bring the tips and rear diffuser together. Ever considered taking off the roof rack? It's starting to look more like the Volvo 850R BTCC wagon back in the day :lol:

[Plays_with_Toys]

^^^ I absolutely adore those Volvos!

The rear diffuser looks real mean. I still really miss that amazing yellow color, but the car is coming together very quickly. On the exhaust tips, is there any way to bring them out wider, so that the outside edge of the tip is more in line with the outside edge of the bumper/diffuser? Maybe I should hold off on that comment, as filling in the muffler hole will really help to balance it visually. With that diffuser setup it makes me think how awesome a center exit exhaust would look... Too bad it'd ruin the whole aerodynamics of the diffuser.

Are you keeping your side mirrors stock? Maybe some Ganador aero mirrors or the super small/sleek rally style mirror pods? And I think you might need some rear spats to keep the dirt off that new paint ;) I can see some dirt in your coilover shots, and the track tends to spray a lot nastier/stickier stuff up onto the sides of the car.

[4n70n1n0]

Dude your car is the definition of Dreams to me. I love the rear diffuser and surprisingly I've been debating about getting one for my car, but I don't think it will look as cool.

Keep going. For the haters they are hatting because they are afraid to venture outside of the norm.

Dude go all the way. Give us the insane camber and crazy body mods.

Your wagon is a inspiration to me and a buddy of mine.

BIG FAN!!!

I'd like to rear suicide, but Lambo is still a first (For Me).


$200 is 2 used mechanisms in America. Did you get another JDM discount again :smt002 and end up with 4?
**fingers crossed to see 4 dr lambo wagon**



Blue Glitter Vinyl? Clear or a solid blue? (Just trying to picture it now)

[Huffer]

Do the rear doors as lambos first. I want to see what it looks like with a raked stance forward to back. :D

[wagonofdoom]

lol

i ran into an auction on ebay that was misspelled. they are a brand new pair, dudes truck was crushed under a tree(picture provided, dunno if its real but i dont care) and i walked away for 200 bucks for a brand new kit. i figured at that price, i acn put it on, if i get bored tke it off, put it on yahoo auctions japan and sell it for 500.00
