iluvdrts 98 Legacy GT wagon

[iluvdrt]

Thjis is my 98 Legacy GT Wagon. O originally picked her up in Ohio (Circleville) for $1900. She was rotting in a field, and in very bad shape. She had a blown engine, bad tires, peeling paint, horrible rust, etc you get the idea.
Long story short here is how she sits now.

Engine:
PNP heads, TWE springs, 3 angle valve job, Intake, STi exhaust,
BM trans cooler

Brakes: Subaru 4/2 pots from 07 WRX, goodridge SS lines, Motul fluid

Wheels: 16" Enkei OBS wheels

Suspension: 04 STi struts, springs. Whiteline adj lateral links, end links

JDM Grill, fogs, and a few other things.

The other car is my 05 Impreza OBS, stock other than GT wheels.

I'm guessing you got it painted too! Nice work... how much did the engine build run you?

Wow, sounds like your GT has come a long way from when you first got it! It looks really nice now. I love the black roof. I think if you painted the mirrors black and got some dark window tint it'd really pull it all together nicely.... maybe some JDM projector headlights further down the road?

Did you have to use spacers up front to clear the brakes? I know its hard to squeeze those 4 pots behind 16's. Again, sharp looking wagon, keep up the good work.

Nice Wagon. I was going to go the 2tone way also. I think I'm going to hold off for now tho after seeing your car. Might invert the colors.

Why does your sunroof deflector look like it's far forward??

I thought about the mirrors a while ago and just havent gotten around to it. As far as tint, shes getting limo tint in the next few months with JDM raingaurds, and hopefully projectors. I am also in the process of building a 2.2 turbo motor as well.

As far as the wheels go, yes I had to use a 3mm wheel spacer for them. The rears will clear fine, but the fronts are a little fatter. They just barely hit too. I have a set of 17's from a 06 WRX but I use them when I auto-x to eliminate the spacer.

IDK, the deflector is lined up with the rim of the sunroof. I think maybe bebcause it is not a Subaru deflector, and its a aftermarket one from the "zone".

The only thing I wish I had done was kept the roof rack instead of removing it. Although the wind noise is gone now, I miss the rack.
