[masube81]

:thumbleft: :thumbleft:

[SubaruGenki]

sweet ride. probably the best bd ive seen. gotta love that closed deck motor.

[slip]

wow

[Reason]

Sweet, would you like to trade engines?

[redlegacygt]

that is the type of car that makes me cry and wish that i could find a money tree.... :!:

[bakergtt]

that is the type of car that makes me cry and wish that i could find a money tree.... :!:

Yeah i hear you there :roll:

[pdawg]

That car is to nice :salute:

[Cajual]

As always, very nice to see another heavily modified Legacy... glad to know there is someone who has wasted more $ than me! :lol: :-D ;-)

[bakergtt]

Not really. Besides the money for the car i have only put in about 3-5k :lol: Bought the car with the swap already in :evil:

[bakergtt]

Hey guys,

I spent part of the weekend working on the car. I have all the piping for the fmic into the engine bay. I drilled a 3" hole throught the the metal where the battery once was. I also had to mod my new jdm bumper to fit the fmic and the tubing.


Sorry I dont have the pics on a web site that i can use the url code to post them up

there are no words.....no words at all.....thats byfar the sickest legacy ive ever seen.....

[bakergtt]

Let me know if there are any other pics you want posted. I can post anything now :-D :D

[Wiscon_Mark]

You have a guage pod where the heater/A/C controls go....where'd they go? did you switch them to below the radio or something?

[bakergtt]

Yep :lol:

[Wiscon_Mark]

How hard was that? I'm considering switching some of my stuff around like that. Do you have to get any adapters (my radio is a single DIN and its a bolt on in the radio bay...)

[bakergtt]

How hard was that? I'm considering switching some of my stuff around like that. Do you have to get any adapters (my radio is a single DIN and its a bolt on in the radio bay...)

No its not hard at all. Its all wires in the back, so you just have to move the wires down and do a little triming to the plastic to make it fit.

[Wiscon_Mark]

oh, I know the wiring's easy (installed my own audio stuff) I was referring to the mounting brackets.

[bakergtt]

oh, I know the wiring's easy (installed my own audio stuff) I was referring to the mounting brackets.

not too bad, you just have to mod your radio bracket to get it to fit.

[bakergtt]

Change my door panel colors over the weekend. Took out the black and put in the blue to match the seats.

[Wiscon_Mark]

'atta boy! I like it :D :lol:
Did you see my doors? Or did we happen do the same thing conincidentally?

You need to get rid of that wood trim though...it sticks out... :? Paint em blue :D I'm gonna paint my window control bezels the same color as my vinyl paneling.

[Wiscon_Mark]

I don't meant to whore up your thread, but what's in the driver's side air vent? Is that a tweeter, or a guage or something? It wasn't on the older pictures...

[bakergtt]

I don't meant to whore up your thread, but what's in the driver's side air vent? Is that a tweeter, or a guage or something? It wasn't on the older pictures...

Yeah I took out the vent and put an a/f gauge in there

yeah i know i need to chnage those things. how did you get them out without breaking the tabs off???

[Wiscon_Mark]

The window switch bezel? You pop it off from the back, it'll just come right out without any harm done. I did it by accident when I was disconnecting the wires to the switch and I thought I'd broken it, but I didn't. Its quite easy if you get the door off.

Just push on that blue piece and it'll pop right out
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/wiscon_mark/IMG_5635.jpg
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2005/06/IMG_5636-1.jpg

The Wires then disconnect from the switch, and the switch can actually come out of the bezel, for easy spray painting or whatever your heart desires.
It'll just pop in the same way it goes out, perfectly flush.

So, i have to ask, were you inspired by my doors, or did you do this independantly and coincidentally right after me? :lol: :wink:

[bakergtt]

cool, yeah i knew they popped right out just seems like the tabs break off easy

[Wiscon_Mark]

So, i have to ask, were you inspired by my doors, or did you do this independantly and coincidentally right after me? :lol: :wink:

You still haven't answered my question. Its not to be insulting, its just out of curiosity.

Sorry sorry sorry, I wanted to do it right after I got my seats. I didnt even know you did that to your ride.

[Wiscon_Mark]

http://www.4agtoys.com/SUBARULEGACY/viewtopic.php?t=575
:D Great Minds think alike. Although I'm preferable to vinyl 8)

[bakergtt]

Yeah I went with the suade to match the texture of the seats. Yeah I just looked at yours. Looks sweet and even did the boot too. Did you chnage the color of your bulbs in your dash?

[Wiscon_Mark]

I don't really have the appropriate stuff to paint them, but I want to
If someone could help me out with that, that would be great!
We're getting slightly OT...someone PM me about this!

[bakergtt]

Just an update:

I took my bumper in to get fixed and have taken my FMIC piping in to be welded. So I figure if everything goes the way i hope then i will have my car up and running with jdm bumper back on and fmic on in a month. I will for sure get pics for everyone.

[Wiscon_Mark]

sounds great! Me want more pics! I haven't drooled enough lately; Gotta move those fluids! :wink:

[Disturbed_beast]

Bro where did you get the syms white face gauges from i want to get those for my car

[bakergtt]

They came with the car when I bought it, but i think they were for an impreza and the previous owner bought a second gauges cluster and stuck it on there and then cut out or painted in the dims. and no they arent syms its just a sticker.

[subieyacht]

that car inspires me. i want to go paint a beautiful picture of it now :-D

[Wiscon_Mark]

that car inspires me. i want to go paint a beautiful picture of it now :-D

I'd like to see more photos of it!!!!! :twisted: BakerGTT, have you been a ROTM yet? cause if you haven't....

[bakergtt]

ROTM???

[NDBBM]

I think Mark is talking about Ride Of The Month. Next time I see you in the running you get my vote. That has to be the nicest Legacy I have seen yet. Nice work by you and the person you bought it from. I wasn't so lucky. I got the autozone GT-R badges and the baboon ass interior paint. Damn, that still cracks me up. :smt005

[Wiscon_Mark]

Ride Of The Month, yes, NDBBM is correct. :D

Should be here in a week and yes this means im getting close to putting the FMIC on and getting a dyno tune

[Huffer]

Where is "PTown"?

Damn fine car by the way, major props for doing all that work on a car that didn't come boosted from the factory... all your interior stuff is mint too. :)

[bakergtt]

Where is "PTown"?



P-town is Portland, Oregon

[Huffer]

I was hoping you would say Philly... at least then I'd be only one state over from you.

Oh well! What's the climate like in Portland? (I'm new to the US)

[bakergtt]

Well as of now its kinda clear skies with lows at 40's and highs at mid 60's to 70's. Oregon is a very rainy state but its one of the few that get a real all 4 seasons. Its a good state to own a Suby :-D

Hopefully you keep your connections to NZ do get some JDM parts over here 8)

[bakergtt]

Finally got a Car Domain for my ride.

Come check it out.

More pics will be coming

Looking good Adam…

How do you like the AVC-R? That suckers awesome huh :headbang:
I love mine, going from a bleed valve to a blocker setup makes the turbo spool so incredibly quick it’s disgusting. Where did you end up mounting it? Here’s mine in black... (http://66.49.172.173/subaru/subaruSPF/Image047.jpg)

I havent got it installed yet, just havent had time cuz i know i will need Ralliteks help on it. Yeah i cant wait to get it in. Im still not quite sure where i wana mount it. For now i will just have them rout it to the glove box

[subysouth]

Very nice work Adam. How did swapping to the JDM bumper cover go? Did you have to swap the beam, reinforcement etc?

ss

[bakergtt]

ss

I didnt swap any of the bumper parts. I took off the HUGE plastic bumper beam and that was it. The JDM style mounts to the little metal one, so i really dont have any renforcements under the cover :lol:

[Huffer]

An alternative to that, is simply shaving down the plastic beam until it fits. That way you have some kind of support/flex.

Or using some kind of hidensity foam...

[subysouth]

Were the top push plug mounts in the same location? I guess what I am getting at was how much of it "bolted right up" and have you ever consider doing a writeup on it? :-D There's not a lot of hard evidence out there on the actual job itself.

Now doing so might threaten the exclusivity of your ride though.;-)

ss

[bakergtt]

The bumper is fiberglass so it came with no holes drilled. Just have to get the bumper right were you want it and looks centered and good and mark the holes and drill the holes in the bumper and the plugs drop right in

[bakergtt]

Finally got to the dyno!!! put down 231whp/234tq @ 18-19psi

That was with out the FMIC and I was maxing my injectors with room to go.

I will get the chart during the week for you all to see.

[Wiscon_Mark]

very nice adam :D

on one pull I hit 237tq :D

[white96gt]

Hey Adam, Names Don, I am just across the river in the couve'
Anyway, a few questions, What sti seats do you have, I am thinking of getting Wrx seats, and am wondering if I should try to get 02-03 or 04-05 seats I have a 96 gt. Also, do you have the old front bumper, or any other parts ya want to get rid of. Thanks
Don

Hey Don

I have JDM v7 sti seats and they rock!! You should see which ones you like best. there may be some difference in comfort but probably not much. Fitment shouldnt be an issue, most subaru seats can be swapped but there is a height difference in where you sit.
I sold pretty much everything i have changed. Bout the only thing i can think of that i have is the stock radio and the stock air box.

[bakergtt]

......and for you bastards that give me hard times for having the fake wood trim, this is for you...... :-D :-D

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/VoodooAdam/blkpanels.jpg

[Wiscon_Mark]

sweet, the flat black looks good :D

[EXP1787]

Much better ;)

[bakergtt]

If you havent noticed I ordered these from subaru ($33) and they sent me the RH driver trim instead of the LH which is the one i need.

[phi11]

......and for you bastards that give me hard times for having the fake wood trim, this is for you...... :-D :-D

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/


Do you have the part #'s (not for the LH one, but the RH ones?)

[bakergtt]

I can give you the number off the back of it but im not sure its the part number.

Why do you want the RH driver trim? So you want the part number of the trim thats in the pic?

[Wiscon_Mark]

Is there any difference in the Driver's switch bezel with the RHD ones?

[bakergtt]

Yeah look at the driver trim in the pic

fake wood is the one that came in car

black one is the one they sent me

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/VoodooAdam/DSCN1349.jpg

[Wiscon_Mark]

oh, its the offset triangle, gotcha.

[bakergtt]

Finally got the right piece yesterday and took some pics to show the difference. I like it SO MUCH better 8)

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/VoodooAdam/blkdoor2.jpg
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/VoodooAdam/blkdoor.jpg

and what it look like before.....

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/


ALSO here are the part numbers for the black pieces if you order from the dealer:

2 pcs of 94267ac120
1 pcs of 94267ac130
1 pcs of 94267ac030

[Huffer]

Looks good. Nothing like OEM fit. :D

[blackmedal]

nice, I already ordered mine, should be at the door in a couple of days. Finally the woodgrain will be gone!

[bakergtt]

What do you guys think? I really like them.

18" Enkei RSV Anthracite with BF Goodrich g-force t/a kdw nt

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/VoodooAdam/spinners.jpg

[redlegacygt]

i think they look great! with alittle better picture they would prob. look even better! :lol: How were you able to fit 18's on the BD?? dont they rub or did you roll the fenders?

[Huffer]

Not keen on the polished lip look. Too "rolla" for me. But hey, whatever works. :)

[bakergtt]

These where the only ones I could find in the style and dark color that really didnt have a polished lip

[bakergtt]

They are only 7.5 wide and yea my fenders are rolled and I also have a little camber

[redlegacygt]

i def. like the way the look. i wanted to get a set exactly like that but i dont have rolled fenders or camber... how do i get them? haha...

[bakergtt]

Here is a better side shot

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/VoodooAdam/wheels2.jpg

[badbasser98]

It looks good, but IMO I would paint the front lip and the piece infront of the rear tire to match body color. Would look much better then I imagine.

I have a JDM bumper I normally run with but I had to do some repair to it and this is just a crap bumper i got for free.

[redlegacygt]

anyway that you may have a crap back bumper? lol

[Reason]

It looks good with the new rims.

[bakergtt]

I dont sorry

I'd remove that stupid strip. Traps junk in there and causes rust :evil: Of course you're NW.

[Plays_with_Toys]

Sick. I love it. Just- wow.

I was wondering, what type of paint do you use on an FMIC? Because the whole point of one is to cool. And some paints are heat resistant, but does that meant that they also retain heat?

[Wiscon_Mark]

I've seen ceramic paints at Advance auto that are designed to move heat rapidly.

[bakergtt]

painting is just a cosmetic thing. Your only painting a light dust to get the color you want. I called up a custom radiator place and they told me to use a t3 hot rod black paint from plastico i think

A TUNE FINALLY!!!

Maybe a new to me but used invidia exhaust with cat.

[nosbocaj]

Looking great as always baker!

[deadlydave]

awesome, keep up the good work!

Who's tuning you?

[2.5GT]

oh so clean! :grin:

[Reason]

Hotness!

[bakergtt]

Who's tuning you?

As of right now Dave at Rallitek.

[deadlydave]

cool, good luck! I just got a tune myself and the difference from stock is amazing. :grin:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/VoodooAdam/Image2.jpg

[nosbocaj]

Wow! Nice Numbers! :grin:

[bakergtt]

This was at 14.5 psi and maxing out 550 injectors.

Get bigger injectors and up the boost, 350whp here we come

[peugoby]

Is that on PRE or PDX's dyno? Nice numbers!

[Kansei]

do you have dual port heads?

[bakergtt]

Is that on PRE or PDX's dyno? Nice numbers!

PRE's dyno dynamics


Do you have dual port headers

Yes. The heads are off a 2.5 n/a outback and the header is the stock one.

[deadlydave]

Holy cow man, those are some nice numbers! Got any potential buyers lined up yet?

My tune was done by "Dom". He's a friend to our local club and gave us all discount tunes.

Had one guy up in Seattle interested. I shot him a PM off Nasico yesterday and havent heard back from him yet.

Besides that no one. Have had a couple of guys want to trade me their usdm sti seats for my v7 jdm ones but I wont part anything because everything on this car makes it very unique

[deadlydave]

Maybe you could sell it to subiesport, since their project car wasn't nearly as awesome as yours.

[bakergtt]

lol I have a feeling they would not come close to what I want for it
