httrdd's 99 LGT H6 S/C'd Go Faster Project! 1/10 New vid!

[httrdd]

Three, but that took me right to the end. Need me to make a DIY?

[mycargoesvroom]

If you want to, I'm pretty sure I can figure it out though. Spray on the dye, scrub it in, repeat till done, they dry?

[httrdd]

Lol ok. I will make something up tonight. :)

[eekay]

I've thought so many times about dying my interior. That's awesome that it turned out fine. I always had that thought that it might be totally fucked looking. Haha. Then again, I was planning on doing my roof lining, seats, carpets, etc... Just get it all outta the way. *shrugs* I suppose I still might if I become so inclined. I'd have to find a super fun color though. :)

Pink!! Yea I am thinking about doing my headliner and stuff, but for that kind of material and the trouble to brush it on it might sit in a dye bath.

Looks pretty good! A dye bath would definitely be the way to go... I have an old above-ground pool that I was thinking about using for all of it. About 1,000 gallons of water, 50 bottles of Ryt (or however it's spelled) and just let 'em sit in there for a few hours just like clothing. Afterward, hose it down, do it all again, scotchguard and re-install. Pink, however, doesn't really fit my style, I don't think. I could be wrong though :grin: !

[grayguy]

That looks great, I've wondered about this too, I'm doing it for sure on my 97' project

[rocketlegacy]

how did your light project go?

[TGX4776]

I have been wanting those wheels lol. I am thinking about some rota grids next though in 17x9

[httrdd]

how did your light project go?

Well yesterday was a beautiful day so I enjoyed it with my daughter. I took her out in the pool and she had a great time. So i will tackle this during the weekend.

[httrdd]

I have been wanting those wheels lol. I am thinking about some rota grids next though in 17x9

Yea I have never seen them til now. I really like them painted. I hope to have them mounted next weekend after pay dayso I can sell my snowflakes already. Not sure if I will run the center caps or not.

[httrdd]

New 225/45/17 Yokohama tires getting wrapped on my new rims then mounted this weekend. Cant wait! Also I have a friend working on a Y pipe to eliminate my leaking flanges on my universal cat. I only need two cats for the visual inspection here so no third cat anymore. Going to sound great!

[redlegacygt]

sweet deal! Can't wait to hear it!

Why were there 3 cats on there? Who did your exhaust before? There should only be 2 cats and two resonators from the factory. The resonators you can get rid of for sure but I believe it is "illegal" to remove either of the cats (must have at least 2). Where'd the 3rd cat come from? :)

[httrdd]

The svx has two pre cats on the header stock which come into a 2-1 cat. The 99 LGT only has two cats required. I am removing the third cat which is also the biggest cat. Should be much louder. :lol:

[eekay]

Ah! That makes sense. I somehow forgot you had done the SVX swap. Lol. *facepalms*

[httrdd]

Lol yea I thought so.

[Kiwi GT]

Lol, this is why I love New Zealand! Cats are now only required on vehicles first registered here from 2010 on. Do what you want with vehicles before then. So much for our clean and green image.... :grin:

[eekay]

Gotta wait 25 year for that here. Once your vehicle is 25+ years old, it's considered a "classic" and therefore no more emissions (in most states). We'll see how long this lasts...

Not the prettiest welds, but there's no water leaking out of any of them.

[httrdd]

Awesome bud that looks great! I like your welder better. Lol.

[httrdd]

Ordered my mesh flex pipe for my exhaust and plans are to have everything in tomorrow. trying to find the Y pipe that this header needs is tough that is why he came up with this. it will be cleaned up and set nice under the black beast.

[httrdd]

Oh and wheels mounted by wednesday.

[httrdd]

Here it is from midnight last night then install for about another 1.5 hours then had to wake up at 530 this morning. Anyways this is before I grind and high temp paint it. Sound so much better and no more exhaust leaks.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/06/20110607_233156_994-1.jpg

[Hocrest]

...and no more exhaust leaks.

Yay!!

[eekay]

Way cool! Looks great.

[httrdd]

Thanks, just wait for the sound clip!

[eekay]

Looking forward to it. You gonna post that today?

[ESSYMOND]

Nice flex pipe! haha

[httrdd]

Na prob during the weekend. Doing side work alot and want to put a new manifold gasket on first.

[httrdd]

Nice flex pipe! haha

Hey a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.

[grayguy]

Not the prettiest welding, but hey,if it's not leaking run it!

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Hey a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
true story! lol

[httrdd]

Not the prettiest welding, but hey,if it's not leaking run it!

Yea but they are solid. I am going to grind them down so the are more aesthetic. Once painted it will blend nicely. He is getting better with his new welded. I have faith that he will be really good one day.

[httrdd]

Preview of the wheels mounted. Gonna have to roll them I think.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/06/670490745_photobucket_45153_-1.jpg

[httrdd]

Still have to wash them and the car.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/06/20110611_163408_624-1.jpg

Going to add a thin lip of darker red to them so they are not completely murdered.

[eekay]

Looks good! Definitely need a roll though. That's the only unfortunate thing about the earlier legacy's, if you want non-stock wheels, you pretty much HAVE to roll the fenders...

[redlegacygt]

definitely looks good man!

[httrdd]

Thanks guys I think the darker red will set it off. I would not need to roll if I had less weight in the front if ya know what I mean! :grin:

[rocketlegacy]

no red!! everyone does red.

[httrdd]

My theme was either going to be black/red or black/gold. I think since finding a good gold was a pia I gave up and went red. The outside lip is so thin that I am going to do it with a paint marker. Mark it off first. I just have to roll the fender first about a 1/4".

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

A blue or silver would look better!

[httrdd]

Make it to the tristate meet in july and see for youself.

[eekay]

Thanks guys I think the darker red will set it off. I would not need to roll if I had less weight in the front if ya know what I mean! :grin:
That's probably true. However, the stance that the car has now looks perfect. Love it!

[httrdd]

Thanks! I am a fan of your car too.

Rolled my fenders today with a wooden handle of a shovel. Lol. What ever works! At least there is no more rubbing.

Also I started modding my outback grill I recently aqired to make a clean mesh one and custom mounts. I will make a DIY when all is said and done.

[httrdd]

After a bath.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/670490745_photobucket_46037_-1.jpg

[WESTcoast]

HOT DAMNNN she is looking mean!! are you going to black out the projectors? and buy my GT grill!! haha

[httrdd]

Not sure if I would like them blacked out. I like the natural look of the projectors. And no I am gutting a outback grill that I got from a friend. Bout time the beast gets some teeth.

[redlegacygt]

that looks damn good man! hell i like the wheels without the red lip

[httrdd]

Yea not sure about that one yet.

[redlegacygt]

haha i think a dark gray/ charcoal lip would look sweet... Or you could do the opposite of what i was going to do. A flat black lip... I was going to do a flat black wheel, with a high gloss black lip.. Just something different, but without the crazy colors.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

she hott!

[httrdd]

Hmmm great idea redleg, but prob just keep them black.

Thanks subielegacy, she mine so back off bitch!

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Oh, sorry I didn't know I was interrupting something!! lol

[httrdd]

Finally making a grill to fit. Here is the donor that I have started to hack up. Going to gut completely, mesh and paint the symbol. Then I have to make supports and mounts to work with my setup. Stay tuned it should look great!

Sounds awesome!

[httrdd]

Thanks. Yea what a difference fixing the exhaust leaks and running a cat delete y pipe.

Here is a 40-80 vid. I was about 30% throttle on a on ramp going up hilll almost cut off by a truck. Lol. I will make a better vid soon.

[eekay]

Fun! H6 is kick-ass. :)

[Navi271]

I love the sound of that!!!

[httrdd]

Yea the point of the vid was sound. I will make something better with it showing the speed.

[Lsnaple]

Damn that looks good!

[httrdd]

Thank you.

nooo don't floor it!!! fuel is empty lol jk

sounds great

[httrdd]

Im runnin straight meth so the gauge can't read it. Lol. I am actually looking into that problem today. I hate wiring.

[Cervantes]

After a bath.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/670490745_photobucket_46037_-1.jpg


wow....super clean! very impressive looking.

[derrick_]

those last few sound clips....wow. love it and i can't wait to get another lgt then drop an h6 into it @_@_@_@__@_@

[Lsnaple]

Wow I've read through the entire journal now. I really thought you had recently painted the car black, not just cleaned up the stock dark purple color. I just started hacking up my grill today, so I'm interested to see how yours turns out.

[httrdd]

Yea I have some scratches to fill then buff/polish and wax. I will have her looking good for the tristate meet.

Most I have done with the grill is cut out the inner frame. There is going to be a lot of modding on it to get the grill right.

[derrick_]

i have one or two grilles laying around if you screw it up too badly ;]

[httrdd]

1 of 6 made and its for meeeeeeeeee! I am getting it delivered to me from Wisconsin at the end of August. Just a stepping stone for a supercharged LGT H6! :smt029

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/07/670490745_photobucket_54134_-1.jpg

[redlegacygt]

now thats pretty sweet!

[grayguy]

Which blower is that made for?

[httrdd]

[QUOTE=1986nate;681661]exactly what it states. This is one of the old Stage 3 intakes that LAN made.
A variety of Whipple/Lysholm superchargers will bolt to it, but I believe only the smallest one will actually fit properly. 100ax or 1600ax depending on who you would order from.
Not sure if anyone is interested in a supercharged SVX, but this would save a lot of time and effort if someone were going to. I also have the alternator relocation bracket if you wanted to retain a/c.

Having an LGT I can fit larger superchargers then they have tried before. Of coarse I will fit the largest one I can with built engine internals to pull more boost! ;)

[Hocrest]

1 of 6 made and its for meeeeeeeeee!
:twisted: :twisted: How did I know this would happen? :lol:

[httrdd]

You talked me into it. Lol. He said YT has a nice ecu tune stage three still.

[anothernord]

I greatly approve of that manifold. :twisted:

[httrdd]

Ha ha so do I. I will have to look at your design in your OLD build page. Lol. Regretting not running a supercharger anymore? I am so glad I found something to work. My Svx buddies have seen over 400 hp crank with these built eg33s. I am super psyced to start building. I am going to find a bare block and strip it down to keep me motivated. Lol.

[anothernord]

I miss the sounds all the time. And the crazed looks people gave me.


Sigh, if only I had a project car.

[httrdd]

My project car is my dd until next year when I buy another pickup. After that is goes under the knife.

[httrdd]

Here is a setup video of my soon to be engine bay

You took your SC off?! What on Earth for?

[PHATsuby]

that is a sweet intake setup. That is exactly how I would do it if I were making a kit/supercharging a car. I may try to integrate an IC into it though. :) Get that thing on there!

Ben

[httrdd]

Your youtube links aren't working right lol.

Stupid dumb smart phones! Fixed.

[httrdd]

that is a sweet intake setup. That is exactly how I would do it if I were making a kit/supercharging a car. I may try to integrate an IC into it though. :) Get that thing on there!

Ben

Nope this is going to be a slow process and it will be done right. Built internals and all. I would like 400-450 to the wheels! Yea ok...... Maybe to the crank.
:grin:

[httrdd]

Got a B & M tranny cooler (thank god!) and will be installed soon and soon to come gauge set and pods so I can monitor the engine better to push it harder. Lol.

[httrdd]

Ok updates!

Intake manifold, bracket, and some sore to pulley are here for the supercbarger build. :) spent the entire afternoon cutting out the rust and preping for welds. Cut pieces of 22gauge metal and began welding. Need to finish other side which is not that bad and then Bondo, sand, primer, then paint.

Have a nice set of 02 Wrx calipers to pick up next week, ordering rotors (fronts for now first) and some pads (hawk or something performance). Lots of work and pics coming.

[Soul Shinobi]

Pics of the rust repair! I'm sooooooo bad at it and it needs to be done :smt022

[httrdd]

Will do. I only have after pics after the welds were done. One side has pics the after grinding done. Its going to look great though!

[Soul Shinobi]

... Its going to look great though!
Mine won't, but hopefully it won't be rusty! :grin:

[httrdd]

Just cut till you hit good metal. Otherwise you have not cured the cancer and it will come back.

Awesome thread! Love the H6 story. Man, you have to
Post some new photos!

[httrdd]

Thanks. Ill post some tomorrow of the process then after the weekend I will post the finished product.

[Hocrest]

got gas? :lol:

[httrdd]

Lol now I do. Let's just say that I feel like a freaking retard. I was driving yesterday and the car was bucking. I though for sure the maf I soldered was acting up again giving me hesitation. It shut down at a garage parking lot. I got it going again and made it a little ways from my house before final shut down. I spoketo dave and then realized I never put more gas in the other day. Don't forget I have not got my gas gauge working yet. Well I will just blame it on a lot going on lately. Lol.

[eekay]

Haha. Don't worry. I have all kinds of problems with gas these days. I have a leak either in my filler neck or the supply hose and I THINK something else might be b0rk3d as well. I'll find out here in a bit when I tear the tank apart soon. At least you got it filled up!

[Soul Shinobi]

Those filler necks will rust through, be careful.

[eekay]

Yup. I haven't been able to look at it yet. Been too busy. But, lately when I attempt to fill my tank, it shuts off almost immediately. I literally have to hold the pump myself to get it full. It sucks. Leads me to believe something is up with the filler neck...

[Huffer]

^^ Its your vent solenoid... or vent tube off the fuel neck.

[httrdd]

Yea my filler neck has not done that yet, but I am sure it will soon.

Here are some pics of the progress so far.

Welded with a shitty gasless wire feed.

ya those stupid plastic covers dont help, I just scored a new on off a junker that must have just been replaced for $10! boo-ya!

[eekay]

^^ Its your vent solenoid... or vent tube off the fuel neck.
I'll look into that. Thanks. And nice welds for a MIG without the IG. :)

[httrdd]

Yea the object of the welds were just to hold not to look good. Also after grinding it looked sooo much betteer.


Ok project mesh "Tall" grill has commenced. Here is what I have so far......

Took a grill that was given to me and started modifing. Have not seen a good DIY for this so I will put one up.

BE CAREFUL THIS IS ONLY PLASTIC!!

First took the black cover on the rear that holds the symbol off. I actually just snapped the circular clips off. Then I took a sawzall and hack saw and cut the middle away.

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/httrdd/670490745_photobucket_64558_.jpg



Take a pair of dikes and clip the left over center pieces about an inch from the frame. Dont cut too deep since the next step is going to be to file off the excess.
http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/httrdd/670490745_photobucket_64559_.jpg

File down level with the rest of the frame.



I will update this as I do more today.

[eekay]

Lookin' good! Grilles are fun to modify. :)

[csweston]

Mines completely mesh now, started off with the same grill as your using.

[httrdd]

Co got pics? I am going to sand down badge and do a metalic red and black and glue it in the middle. Working on this slow since I have been cleaning and prepping my brakes for paint so I can install this weekend.

[csweston]

Heres all i have right now. I can see if i can find better pics

Too many projects at once

O2 Wrx caliper brackets before and after.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/20110905_140552_852-1.jpg

And finally they are painted to match my theme.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/670490745_photobucket_65670_-2.jpg

[r3v_v3ng3]

nice... how much that bracket cost you?

[httrdd]

Only 80 for brackets, front and rear calipers and hoses. A lot of surface rust on them, but I have a sandblaster and a rebuild kit to make them new.

[httrdd]

Ok I did my front brakes over. No more half assing. Here are the brackets and calipers after 2.5 hours sandblasting. After taking the pic I went and blasted the right one to match the other one.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/20110917_145558_97-2.jpg

In high temp primer.

[mycargoesvroom]

Wow I'm really liking that color.

[Huffer]

Ahhh... another user of the metalcast colors. ;)

[httrdd]

Yea man those metalcast colors are amazing. Good to 500 degrees too. I wanted to have a more different red than other people. For $8 something a pop they are worth it.

[httrdd]

Can't believe I was driving on this! That solves the shuddering problem.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/20110919_180247_429-1.jpg

Oh yea the new brake goodness!

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/20110919_184335_140-1.jpg

Behind my dirty wheels.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/09/20110919_202801_817-1.jpg

[redlegacygt]

Looks good man! That red really pops behind those wheels.

[httrdd]

Thanks and I can stop again! :)

[Huffer]

Hey you might want to hit the rotors real quick with some anti-rust paint - the hat (raised) part and the outside vanes on the rotor - the non-braking/clamping parts of the rotor. It'll help keep them rust free and looking much nicer for longer. I did it to mine real quick after spraying them with brake cleaner, masked up the rotor and laid down a couple of quick coats. LIGHT overspray isn't a problem as the first time you brake your pads will wipe off the paint residue.

[httrdd]

Thanks good idea. The other ones were rediculous. These new ones will last a little while too.

[derrick_]

those brakes look sick :]

[httrdd]

Haha I was going to do that after the frustration of found those pins after the paint was complete. Touching up sucked!

Already seeing some of that rusty color from all this rain. Is it ok to just mask them and paint of do I have to prep again?

[httrdd]

Im done car will be parted soon. Time to move on to bigger and faster things.

[grayguy]

Too bad your so far, I'd love to buy the 33, I know where your coming from, from a $:HP standpoint, subarus are terrible.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Im done car will be parted soon. Time to move on to bigger and faster things.

NOOOOOO! I wish I had money to buy it!

[Soul Shinobi]

Am I the only one concerned about the $:handling ratio instead?

[httrdd]

What do you mean. Handling is great with this thing. I would say it would handle a lot better with front strut bar and a thicker sway bar.

what happened? =\

[Soul Shinobi]

I mean vs. a Trans Am!

[httrdd]

I want to pick up a Dodge Ram mega cab for a daily since I need it to do businesswork and I can only hhave two cars at a time. Lol. I want my second car to be my dream car since I was a kid. They are so cheap these days. Handling is pretty good, but there are suspension bits to make it better. Not saying I am going to keep it stock! Lol.

[mike-tracy]

:(

[redlegacygt]

Noway, atleast wait til you supercharge it :( haha

[httrdd]

Yea thats a lot more time and money down the road.

what is your dream car? the ram?

[httrdd]

No my reality dream car is a Trans Am WS6 4th gen.

The day that I sell a Subaru and get a Dodge is the day after the universe ends.

[grayguy]

Just lq4/t56 swap the leggy, haha

[httrdd]

Lol yea it does. I am up in the air right now about what to do. :(

[mycargoesvroom]

You could always keep the LGT and use the money you would have on mods for car payments or to save up. Then you'd have an awesome DD and a sweet ass weekend car.

[httrdd]

You know what that is what I was thinking. I may still supercharge it down the road, but just going to save up some cash. There is too many little things that need to be done that I made a list of. I will buy my truck soon and keep this one till I decide its time to go.

I don't believe an intake runner will give a 15WHP increase...

[httrdd]

yea i was skeptic, but only the butt dyno will tell. Lol.

[Soul Shinobi]

Looks fantastic!

[httrdd]

Yea Jake from FAPfab is making them. He is on rs25.com. Let me know if anyone is interested. He gave me a good price to advertise the hell out of it!

[StatGSR]

I may have some interest in one. would be interested to see a rough price and of course pictures of it installed...

[httrdd]

Ok he is sending it out. I will put it on IMMEDIATELY after getting it. Lol. Does that mean the old H6 wagon is finally getting the attention it deserves?

[httrdd]

Picked up the 06 Wrx tranny from a friend. Can't wait to get this in. Tranny is split and all gears are nice besides one or two. Paid only 55one bucks for it so a hundred or so to get it together is a bargain!

[httrdd]

A local car performance place was selling these. See how they look in my projectors.

Today Dave and I put in a B&m oil cooler. This was needed a long time ago. Here is the mounting location. Dover hard today to break in all that new fluid. Lol.

[httrdd]

Yes it is thanks. I am still going to steal your flares idea.

[httrdd]

Just a teaser.

Swapped hoods with geckoboy86. Painting it black. 07 Sti scoop will be here monday.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/11/20111113_170227_753-1.jpg

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

NICE!

[geckoboy86]

Cant wait to see that spoiler I picked up for you on it. If I like it, I might have to find another one.

[httrdd]

Should be painted and installed today.

[geckoboy86]

Is your whole car as shiny as the hood you traded me? I mean the hood is dusty and still looks like a mirror when I look out at it.

[httrdd]

Yea pretty much at time. A lot of fine scratches though and a couple of spots that need repainting after rust repairs were done. I have to clay and rebuff it again. I try and preserve the paint on my cars. Not sure if it is original paint though on the hood.

[httrdd]

Cleaned primer with green scrubber (dry), wiped surface and dried.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/11/20111114_154112_765-1.jpg

Here it is the final product with about 1 and a half cans of OBP. I would say I am anal.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/11/20111114_164308_45-1.jpg

[httrdd]

Come to thinl of it this pic was a coat or two before the final product. Should dry nice with no tiger stripes. I want to mount it NOW, but I have to let it dry a day or two at work.

[geckoboy86]

Come to thinl of it this pic was a coat or two before the final product. Should dry nice with no tiger stripes. I want to mount it NOW, but I have to let it dry a day or two at work.

I have that issue when I paint stuff as well. That's why I normally let my brother paint it so I can't get to it.

[Perdue]

With something like that, try painting from left to right, rather than front to back. I hope that makes sense. You will have fewer strokes, thereby wasting less paint. Also, try to get the nozzle as close to level with the surface as you can, and overlap the strokes a little more.

[httrdd]

Actually i did it both ways. That pic was before the two final side to side coats. I am installing it tomorrow! I would do it now, but it is drying. :(

[Perdue]

Awesome. I can't wait to see it paired with the new scoop. On another note, where did you get your color matched paint in a spraycan?

[httrdd]

A guy i sold some parts to gave them to me. You can go to any auto paint store to have them mix one up or buy them online.

In other new my scoop is here, but not the right here. My paypal was sent with my old address down the road. Even though i corrected through email and pm with him he still sent it to the paypal address. I tracked it and it said it is at the post office. Hope to intercept it tomorrow.

[httrdd]

Just need to wet sand and final coat. Oh the suspense is killing me.

@https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/11/20111116_094642_367-1.jpg

[geckoboy86]

Looking good.

[Lsnaple]

Sweet, really interested in how that rs wing looks. I've always thought the gt wing wasn't quite right, a little more height or just a lip I've never been quite sure. Hmm..

[httrdd]

Me too. Ran into some problems with the painting but almost done. Long story short if u dont have any paint prep stuff dont use isoprophal alcohol! :oops:

[02_Legacy]

ugh I keep coming to this thread looking for installed pics and they are never there :smt021
But seriously take your time and it will keep you from kicking yourself later.

[httrdd]

Yea so I wet sanded it with 400 all the way up to 2000. Used a grease/wax prep solutuion and tried another coat. Thankfully it is looking good. Should be dry this afternoon then I have to clear it. I really want it installed, but I want it to look great. Actually it is going to be the best looking piece of the car. Dont worry 02_Legacy I will put "installed" in my title.

[httrdd]

Here is a final teaser. I still need to wet sand again. I really like it!

you are such a tease! Have two blue balls already :smt012 lol

you forgot to remove the 2.5rs sticker on the wing. Looking good

do you have to make new mounting holes for the rs spoiler?

[httrdd]

Lol. Yes i have to drill new holes and move the brake light wiress/connector from left to right. Its not a sticker it is molded in on it. I bought it primered like that was so I said F it. Does not stick out too bad. :lol:

[Cervantes]

car looks really tough.

[httrdd]

Thanks it will look more agressive when i mold this 07STi scoop in! Yea buddy!

[Perdue]

I like it...I think. i will make the final determination once the spoiler is bolted down.

[httrdd]

It will happen this thanksgiving weeekend. That and i will start to cut up the hood to fit the scoop then get it under some primer.

[rocketlegacy]

brilliant work. this car is the my new blueprint for power modifications. H6 > H4 turbo

[httrdd]

Haha thanks. Yea everyone has a h4 turbo and i love having full power all the time at the pedal. Now this thing will not be my daily soon and supercharger build will start. Nothing can mess with it then. Lol.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Haha thanks. Yea everyone has a h4 turbo and i love having full power all the time at the pedal. Now this thing will not be my daily soon and supercharger build will start. Nothing can mess with it then. Lol.

There's room left under the hood for a supercharger? lol

[httrdd]

Yep! If not i will make room.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

When you say "make room"......

[httrdd]

Haha i laugh everytime i see those. I have a manifold i can stack a supercharger on and it will fit right under my large scooped hood.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

awesome! can't wait to see it!

[geckoboy86]

Any updates on the spoiler?

[httrdd]

No decoration clean up, sick kid and trying to fix a broken shampoo machine kept me from it today.

[httrdd]

Ok I hate being this picky, but I am going to wetsand and buff the spoiler before install tonight. I have to paint over the hood black as well then install the scoop. Pics will be up tonight.

Last pic got mixed up i will fix it after i get back in the house.

[httrdd]

Ok hood was sanded down and rattle canned flat black.. No offense to you geckoboy, but i could not stand the paint job anymore. Spoiler is installed and looks great, but there is a gap on the outside. Not enough to get me to remove it though. I will post pics tomorrow. Good night.

[geckoboy86]

It's ok. I needed the hood on ASAP after my deer accident so didn't have a lot of time to make it great.

[httrdd]

Hood wet sanded it just needs another coat.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

AWESOME!

[geckoboy86]

Hmmm. I like the looks of that wing now. I want a bigger spoiler on my Subie and more so one that is easier to clean the under half. Now why that isn't as big as I'd like, it's an option. And cool thing is I already found one.

[eekay]

Lookin' good! Hood looks MUCH better black on your car. How do you plan on fixing the gap on the rear wing? Rubber gaskets could work well, I suppose. Cheap and easy!

[httrdd]

eekay- Yea not sure how I am going to get rid of that gap. Looking to see what I have here at work to fix it.

geckoboy86- It is a lot of work. You have to line up where you want it, drill holes, step out another hole on the inside big enough so you can get a socket on it for the nut, cut a hole in the right bottom of the spoiler and fish the wire through if you want a brake light, and fix the 1/8" gap on the outside. I like a challenge though. :cool:

[Hocrest]

Sorry, but I think it's too narrow. Maybe I'll like it better when I see it?

To get rid the outside gap can you grind away some of the material on the inside?

[httrdd]

Its only a half inch difference than the LGT spoiler. Looks way better in person. For the gap I was thinking of grinding away I just dont want to ruin it. I dunno. Was not expecting this.

[eekay]

If you end up grinding/sanding away. Just be very, VERY careful. Remove too much and you're b0rk3d...

[ubar legacy]

Looks like my car now!!! .....but way nicer.. :/

[02_Legacy]

Hood = win, love it :smt023
I'm not feeling the spoiler though, as others said it looks too narrow.

[httrdd]

Maybe it is just the picture. In person it looks really good. Like it grew there.

[eekay]

Looks like my car now!!! .....but way RICER.. :/

Fixed! ;)

[httrdd]

Damn you!!! I want honest opinions of the car. In person it looks great to me.

[98legwag]

I like it. I just think it needs a grill of some sort.

[httrdd]

Wingless now.

[eekay]

Haha. I liked the wing! I was just giving you a hard time. :) Why is it wingless again?

[httrdd]

I dont want to fix the gaps. Too much work and i really like it wingless. I took wingless pics a while ago and kept telling myself. "If i did not buy this rs spoiler i would go wingless." A few extra holes to patch later and wammmo wingless.

These arrived today. Going to mount then in the hvac blower after all. Got them hella cheap new. Let me know if you guys need any.

I am picking up 2.5rs black cloth seats tomorrow for 50 bucks! "Subaru" is in the headrests. Only 60,000 miles.

Sold the rs wing too.

Anyone know if these are special edition seats?

[d1giPhux]

They look like a special edition, as you don't see many at all with that subaru symbol.

[httrdd]

That is what I was thinking. From a 99 rs too. :grin:

[d1giPhux]

I could be wrong.. but they definitely look like some type of special version seat.

[httrdd]

Going to do this diy CAI. Should net a few more HP.

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=56495

[eekay]

I approve of the CAI. However, don't use the couplers that the OP used. They aren't air-tight and they strip/break SUPER easily. Use the rubber couplers. :)

[httrdd]

Nevermind. I know what you mean.

[eekay]

For anyone's curiosity, this:

http://www.purplehat.org/~ek/teaser/CAI.jpg

[httrdd]

Yea that is what I figured you were saying. I wonder if they make pieces long enough? I may just have to have 2 couplers and a piece that sits in the middle.

[grayguy]

Please tell me you welded those trunk holes up and didn't just bond over them?

[eekay]

I'm sure you can find longer pieces with that bend degree. Shouldn't be too tough. If not, use two couplers and the middle piece just like the OP. I just don't trust those plastic couplers. They're a nuisance! :)

[httrdd]

Ummm no I just bondoed over them for now. Bad idea I am guessing? I may just weld thenm tonight then.

[grayguy]

Yes, weld them. Else they will crack out eventually. I made similar mistakes to my car in high school when I shaved the side molding, moisture gets behind them from the back side too and cracks them to shit, where as the shaved trunk that I welded the holes on is still holding up 8 abusive years later.

[grayguy]

It's tricky to do, but if you can get a small backing plate up behind the holes from the inside it makes it a lot easier to do with out burning through the thin sheet metal.

[eekay]

+1
I would definitely weld them. Just keep that welder on SUPER low. :)

[httrdd]

Damn i should of though about that the other day. They are getting bondo for now just so i can get to work on something else. Will weld before i repaint the car down the road.

[mshriver]

Anyone know if these are special edition seats?

Not a special edition, just someone had that stitched into the headrests. I think these seats were actually in the same storage unit as my leather rs seats when I bought them. Im sure they have had time to change hands since then
