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

[httrdd]

Seats installed.

Impression/modifications: These seats sitso freakin nice in the car. Seatbelts for the LGT (mine did not have them) had to be used so you have to find a bolt and bolt them up. One bolt will not be used on these seats since the LGT seat rails bolt up three spots in the rear and the RS seats only have two. No biggie. Height is barely noticible. I am 6'3" and fit pretty damn good. No pocket on the back of the RS seats oh well. Thats about it. Pics.Pics.

Nice! I have a set outta the fiancé's 98' RS ( since some nice guy gave her his WRX seats :) ) that I'm going to put in my GT. The stock leather seats are an abomination of comfort

[r3v_v3ng3]

Bet your ass feels better than when it sat on that hard leather lol. What about the rear seats?

[httrdd]

I gotta find some. I believe the sedans have the same seats.

[Kansei]

that is a beautiful center console! :D whered you get that?

[httrdd]

Custom! I can make you one you just need to take the pieces out for me first.

[eekay]

Erm? I see a missing center console. Pics?

[Navi271]

I really like those RS seats. They're so much more comfortable than the stock ones.

[httrdd]

Erm? I see a missing center console. Pics?

The lack there of. :lol:

[httrdd]

I really like those RS seats. They're so much more comfortable than the stock ones.

Man I tell ya. I sit down in the morning thinking I am going to sink into my seats then all of a sudden dead stop.

These seats make me want to go faster and corner harder. :grin:

[parkcityboyx]

good to see all the updates man!!! youre doing great with that car!

hope all is well friend!

[Navi271]

These seats make me want to go faster and corner harder. :grin:
Glad I'm not the only one!

[eekay]

Haha. Nice. I'm going to keep the leather in my DD. But, I plan for some serious Recaro seats in the sedan. That's a long way coming though...

[httrdd]

good to see all the updates man!!! youre doing great with that car!

hope all is well friend!

Thanks man coming together slowly yet surely. Since the woman went full time it freed up all the extra money i was making on the side for myself to spend.

My WRX ones did that to me. The WRX suspension with my 19mm cusco RSBdidnt help matters either. Lol.

u want those 07's I have, I got the front s and rear

[httrdd]

Decided to do the hood scoop right. I ordered some Reznor plastic to metal bonding agent. After talking to a local parts guy and a body shop this is what they recomend. This is a fine stran fiberglass. I will document the work.

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/httrdd/2011-12-12_17-03-22_749.jpg

[98legwag]

Man, I wish I had your skills.

[httrdd]

I just take my time and gather as much info as i can before doing the work. I like things to last.

[Soul Shinobi]

I will document the work.
You are a good man--a gentleman and a scholar! :grin:

[eekay]

+1 on the Reznor filler. It works REALLY well as long as it's done right. You shouldn't have any problems. :)

[r3v_v3ng3]

You should glue the scoop to the hood, then rivet it until it hardens. Then take out the rivets and mold it with the duraglass. Theres alot of vibration and if you don't glue it, it will show the outline of the scoop where you mold it.

[httrdd]

Yep thats the plan. That is what the reznor is for. Not sure i will rerivit it though. Just put some pressure on it for an hour. Lol.

[r3v_v3ng3]

I meant something like this
http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/sem-mul ... hwoduAkQSA (http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/sem-multi-purpose-panel-adhesive-39747-p-15347.aspx?s_kwcid=TC|6058|sem+panel+adhesive||S|b|7185280025&gclid=CK2mm4rz_awCFQVvhwoduAkQSA)

The duraglass is just a filler with fiberglass strands on it. Its great to build/shape panels but I would use a 2 part glue like SEM, besides its a scoop not a vent. You don't want your scoop flying out at the freeway. Then use the duraglass to blend it in (aka kitty hair)

[httrdd]

I have almost the same stuff coming tomorrow. I will post tomorrow.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

+1 on the Duraglass. That should work for what your planning to do. We use that for BIG dents to fill in! lol

I hope you have the cartridge gun to use for that adhesive.

[httrdd]

Nope a modified caulking gun. Has two bolt heads to push the tubes equally. My parts guy showed me how to do it.

[httrdd]

Ordered hidden antenna like r3v posted. 5 bucks shipped. Time to fill more hole.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Nope a modified caulking gun. Has two bolt heads to push the tubes equally. My parts guy showed me how to do it.

That works! lol Whatever gets the job done.

[httrdd]

Yea its 20 bucks to rent the gun

[r3v_v3ng3]

I'm usually cheap, I just use a 1/2 extension to push each cylinder and mix it on a board instead of that expensive gun :grin: but it looks like you got everything covered :smt023

[eekay]

+1 on the board mixing technique! ;)

[httrdd]

Antenna arrived. Looks very simple. Lol.

[eekay]

Antenna isn't too bad. Removing the interior kinda sucks though. Lol.

[Dead91silvia]

I meant something like this

Yeah, I would recommend the same. Using a 2 part made for panel bonding is the way to go, if your not welding. The other thing you want to remember is to make sure no moisture gets around the filler when you do. Most people dont realize that any bit of water that sits on filler, gets sucked in by the filler and then will pop the filler from the what ever other surface its on.

[httrdd]

I am thinking I am going to put it on the rear windshield and run to the stock power antenna cable. Much cleaner.

[eekay]

Nice! Winter tires FTW!

[httrdd]

Yea first time running these, but heard nothing but good things. I bought these for 150 bucks locally and they are 75% tread. Best part is that i can sell my fronts for about 100 or so since they are in great condition to recoupe the money. Rears are shot. Bad camber wear.

[eekay]

Ah. Have you ever driven on winter tires before? The difference is unbelievable.

[httrdd]

Nope never. Always was ok with all seasons till I did the engine upgrade. Lol.

[eekay]

Awesome! You're in for a treat. :)

[httrdd]

Mounted. I love not rubbing again! :smt005 I find myself cornering harder. :lol: These will only last me the season I bet. :smt022

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/12/20111222_170544_857-1.jpg

For some reason I thought they were better tread in his dim garage. :smt017

[grayguy]

They look to have about the same tread my nokians had when I bough them, and I've used then the last 3-4 years

[eekay]

Yeah. You'd be surprised how long the tread on winter tires actually lasts. Just make sure your wheels are in properly aligned and you should be able to use them for quite some time.

[Kiwi GT]

Lol, they tried to ban the use of winter tyres here in New Zealand. Too many idiots thinking that a tyre is a tyre is a tyre, and still try driving like they're Schumacher, then wonder why they've ended up in the bottom of a gully and taken a van of tourists with them. The govt ended up with deciding the minimum tread depth being 4mm (1.5mm on standard tyres) and they must be fitted to all 4 wheels. We really only get snow on the roads in winter in the mountain areas, so not a big deal for us.

[Flyboy888]

awesome build man

[httrdd]

Thanks bud it has come a long way and is not even close to how i want it to look.

Update: I am now running hallowed cats due to a passenger restriction. The beast woke up!

[r3v_v3ng3]

Nice! Any sound clip?
Just dont drive your kid(s) around cause is no good unless you replace it with hi flow catS

[httrdd]

Nah it is my dd, but just to work and back. I take the kids with the Xterra that she drives. Inside the cab it is not that bad. Cant even smell it. I love the smell of high octane fuel! I want to replace the cats with high-flow, but for 75 bucks each i can save up for headers. Jake from rs25 will make me a set of long tubes. He has a sound clip i will post. Let me wrap the front pipes amd cats this weekend and i will post a clip. Hallow cats have no sound deadening.

[prodriver1]

. Hallow cats have no sound deadening.
same with no cat;)

[r3v_v3ng3]

You guys are lucky to be able to purchase cat converter. Its against the law for seller's to ship to CA :smt011

[httrdd]

Yea I remember in CA emissions were soo strict!

[httrdd]

Ok some spirited driving from work. You may or may not hear my hollow cats. Lol

[eekay]

Nice! I STILL haven't been able to play in the snow yet. :( As soon as we get a totally awesome one, I'll make some vids though!

[httrdd]

Looking forward to a big snow fall one day. Did not even know your car was running. Your members rides thread is so quiet. Whats new with white lightning?

[eekay]

Haha. Yeah, man! Got it back last week. I'll update the member's ride section today for all the new changes.

[httrdd]

:smt035 :happy1:

[eekay]

:smt035 :happy1:
Updated just for you! :)

[httrdd]

This is the kind of spoiler i really want for the LGT! I wonder if i can somehow fab one?

http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/httrdd/images-1.jpg

[Tinobag]

Me too! I think it would look sweet!

[eekay]

Fab it! It would actually be pretty easy to do with fiberglass... Just get some threaded nuts in there and bolt from the inside of the trunk. Should be golden.

[httrdd]

This should be the same theme I am doing with the car. Jet black paint (I know the Wrx has the sparkel though), more metalic red accents, and same color more agressive wheels on fender flares. This car is for sale btw. Lol.

[httrdd]

Alright after driving the 09 Avalanche today i realized i am done wity my pos. I am parting the car out as soon as i get my truck. I am serious this time. I am getting back into muscle cars. I will put a part out list when this time comes. Parting everything down to the bone then scrapping the rest. Doubt anyone wants to take on my small problems. I am always looking for speed so back to V8s I go.

[redlegacygt]

BOOOO! i def. dont like this.... but then again its not my car... haha i'd say stick with and still find yourself a V8, but looks like your mind is made up.

[geckoboy86]

Interested in
Rims and tires
JDM Lights
Pass side, front WRX caliper (Will take both if need be)

[eekay]

I call first dibs on anything I end up wanting! Lol. I completely disagree with the V8 needed to create power (I've got almost 500hp in my Gen2 Lego Wago) but to each their own. I love muscle myself. Different type of power!

Anyhow, we need pics and descriptions of anything aftermarket you have. Start there first. Then, give a price (none of that "make me an offer" stuff). You'll definitely make some cash! Shame to see you go away from the Scoober world, though. :(

[httrdd]

Yea the little things i am uncovering are driving me nuts. Rusted rear strt towers, no gas gauge/blinker yet, tranny slipping, front diff heating up and grinding after spirited driving, a wobble developing on the highway, broken belt adjuster, paints shitty, speeedo is failing occasionally so i have to guesstimate my fuel usage, and more. It needs a lot more money dumped into it before the supercharger can be bolted down.

[eekay]

Gotcha'. I completely understand. Sometimes the projects just don't seem worth it.

[mike-tracy]

oh oh! This always happens with every eg33 swap i've seen. Think I aluded to it near the begnning of this thread. Good luck on your next venture.

[httrdd]

Yea it is what it is.

[httrdd]

Ok i know this is the second time i did this, but i am going to continue on and finish it. Going to fix my little things and see what i can make this car do.

[redlegacygt]

hahaha YES! now that's what i like to hear. Dont worry man, there are many days i say im getting rid of mine, but it still sits outside the house, and best of all there's no payments being made.. Glad to hear your sticking with it.

[httrdd]

:smt021 :oops: :grin:

[Hocrest]

[02_Legacy]

Lets take bets, how many weeks till he decides he is going to sell it again? :grin:

All sarcasm aside its cool that you want to keep it. After all it is one of very few H6 second gens, if there even are any others.

[httrdd]

I bet $20 on a month. Lol

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Ok i know this is the second time i did this, but i am going to continue on and finish it. Going to fix my little things and see what i can make this car do.

YEAH! Now keep it until the end of may so I can buy it! lol :smt005

[JunkerXL]

good to hear. you can't get away from subaru for long anyway, it's like mushrooms in ur yard: hit em with the mower, pullem out, whatever, they keep popping back up. i left for a while, driving "other" cars :smt011 , and im looking for a subaru again. number 8 or 9 now... :shock: just never have loved a car like i have loved my subarus. :wink:




:smt020

[Sleepinsuby]

Thank god you changed your mind man. I want some pics of it next to my 1gen eg this summer

[httrdd]

Yea man definately. Next is fender flares though. I am starting to research them as we speak. Prob do revs type of flare. I need new tires come sprind so i will get wider rims.

[Kansei]

check out girodisc's flares. something off of a honda and you can cut and weld them on cause theyre all metal.

[httrdd]

Ya know what I was thinking that. I need to get some more ideas though.

[redlegacygt]

i know there are some flares out there for impreza's, but i dont know well they'll fit the legacy wheel arch's

[prodriver1]

Yea man definately. Next is fender flares though. I am starting to research them as we speak. Prob do revs type of flare. I need new tires come sprind so i will get wider rims.
I have been thinking of forester panels. gen 1's have very simple extensions with easy corners and edges. giro has arch flairs, they look amazing but the forester would be more of a wide body kit :smt023 then STi links and axles I think they are a wider track to fill up the extensions. or just spacers.

[httrdd]

I believe i have a thread up somewhere with flares ideas. I will bump it.

Also have a metalic red apexi strut bar on hold til i transfer some money this week. It is sexy! I was going to hold out for a cf bar, buti need to tighten up the front suspension.

[Sleepinsuby]

I can't remember where I saw it but I think it was 25rs. There's a impreza L with a eg33 and he cut up some wrx fenders and made a wide body that's insane. I'll see if I can find it but those are all steel to. This has crossed my mind a couple times as I feel the flow of the fenders goes great with the 1gen Legy.

[httrdd]

Yea let me know what you come up with. I am going to start a new thread.

[parkcityboyx]

I love your legacy. Great project

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

I love your legacy. Great project

It's been over a year, and sadly the car is stripped. I'm not sure if TJ is even on the forums anymore. :-(

[grayguy]

I don't think he is, I've been trying to get the hood off this car since this past summer

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

I don't think he is, I've been trying to get the hood off this car since this past summer

more then likely the car (and the hood) is gone.

[grayguy]

As of sept-oct when he pm'd me last the hood was still around from the part out. Oh well

[prodriver1]

you should take mine, it has those stupid hood pins, but its clean, rust free, and black. i have an extra latch for it too.

[grayguy]

I already have a stock GT hood, he has a painted L+ sti scoop.

[httrdd]

Sill have that hood in garage lol. I really just need to finish it and ready it for someone elses Subie. Ugggg how i miss mine! And it sucks cause i am making better money now with nothing to spend it on but my Dakota qc. :(

[httrdd]

Nice man. No I am going muscle restore next. Already looking into some.

[tarnrevick]

I am seriously contemplating starting an EG33 swap into my 1990 legacy wagon. Any of you guys still around that have done this??

[grayguy]

Yes
