Hello, This is my 2000 Subaru Outback.
Its mostly stock right now, low budget, Im sure you guys know that feeling. But you do what you gotta do.

So far I have a full WRX exhaust on it right now, 3'' piping, and a 4'' tip.
The motor is N/A (working on brakes and suspension next, then taking a break and going to russia in two years or so, then when i get back, im going to start on the engine. I may do a few minor things before though)

Im in the process of molding the hood scoop on, and cutting the bonnet ect. (November 1)
Im also in the process of making my stock rims gun metal colour. I just like the stock rims, but didnt like the colour.
I did the Yellowed fog lights the week I got the car, (back in july)
I re did the headlamps too. ( great thanks to the DIY Threads)
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/11/cp1_1031091602-1.jpg

More to come. (more pics info ect) in a hurry right now, so if it not up to par, it should be by the end of today.

[swiftman007]

Your outback looks nice. Funny, i didnt know that WRX exaust was possible on our car.

[MRLancaster]

Thanks! Yeah I got a local shop to help me out, I bought the exhaust, and they made theyre own adapters and had to lengthen the piping. and re route the hangers. I will add more pics.

[MRLancaster]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/11/8530_1120808031466_1565010094_30287-1.jpg

just a rough draft I did of what I want "Anya" to somewhat look like. ( i named her, so in the future if you see Anya, im referring to the car)

[rougeben83]

Your outback looks nice. Funny, i didnt know that WRX exaust was possible on our car.

Plenty of BE/BH owners have done it. And the WRX exhaust is 2.25" pipe, not 3". The tip is around 3-4" though.

[MRLancaster]

Oh...i thought it was 3. oh well. Thanks lol

[MRLancaster]

I got my yakima bike rack installed. :D

[imprezkid]

what an interested name you have, what does the mrlancaster stand for?
thanks
tanner

[Navi271]

^ haha!
I just maybe, perhaps, might have told him about the name..... :grin:

This thing is gonna be a beast when it's done!

[MRLancaster]

Haha thanks, , but I was doing research about the outback back in july when i got her, and i saw that the model i have is known as the lancaster, and the older models are called grandwagons ect. so i was like i will do MRLancaster


Navi271> thanks i hope it will be. over time. :D it already looks sick though.
Just gotta start the engine when i get back to the US

[Airgne]

what you want to do to the engine? i like how more 3rd gen owners are coming here.

[MRLancaster]

For now its stock N/A 2.5, but i was going to swap to an ej25. but i was talking to my friend at a car meet about 30min ago, suggested to keep the motor i have and just change the internals to be able to cope with a turbo, so right now im just looking for the most affordable. tight budget, so i cant do anything big yet. But if you (or anyone else checking up on the car) has any suggestions hit me up, im new to tuning cars, and new to subies, so my friends are explaining alot to me about the car itself. I want to set it up to take the mountain roads really well, thats why im going to do the suspension and brakes next. then do the engine in a few years. (only 18, so not in a hurry right now lol)

[Airgne]

you can do the swap under 3500. i will have a full list and prices after i finish my swap in march. should be around 3500. i will be doing all the mech work myself.

[MRLancaster]

Pretty much all the little JDM goodies and trinkits you would want on a wagon, and more to come. :)

[Legacy89]

Is that a radio in the air-vent?
And when are you going to Russia?
Any specific city?

Was a CB radio, sold it to my neighbour. got a new shroud because of where I cut the vent out. Back to factory.

As for russia, its going to have to wait. Going to start my bachlors in automotive drafting in a year. So going to finish that up. And for the city, Omsk. :) Its where I was born.

[bobbyjimmy]

What's the "Center Roof Rail delete"?

[MRLancaster]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/03/DSCN0684-1.jpg

Got rid of the rails going down the center of the roof. I just call them center rails

[rocketlegacy]

looking good. thought getting some rims? some 18x8s would look sex.

[MRLancaster]

Thanks! I have a set of 08 GT's just no tires, and was going to get them powder coated bronze, and run them. I like the simple factory style 17's. Doesnt draw stupid amounts of attention. And the 08's look awesome!

[Legacy89]

Aha, Tell me when you go, i want to get a complete B4/Blitzen out of there. :P

[02_Legacy]

Do you have a vid of how your exhaust sounds? When I get my exhaust done I want to get the UEL with an STI muffler too but I don't know if I will need and extra resonator or not.

Love the neon green flaps.

Got any more pix of the V-Limited installed?

I gotta take some more pics of it. But the ones I have are already up. I will take some more for you guys

[MRLancaster]

And an update. About 200$ away from no more two tone. :D She will be this colour in June. https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/05/37881_1318715779036_1565010094_30702039_-1.jpg

[Reason]

Nice, I kinda like that grill on that car too.

[MRLancaster]

Its interesting, it fits that one, I wonder what kind of grill that is?

[rocketlegacy]

Its interesting, it fits that one, I wonder what kind of grill that is?
sounds like a question for Yamazaki

[Yamazaki]

That grille is one of the D type grilles from the Subaru "dress up parts" catalogue.

[MRLancaster]

Same grille as mine...

[Navi271]

Can't wait to see it all finished!

[MRLancaster]

Waiting for the call to pick her up :D

[mycargoesvroom]

Lookin good man! That color is pure sex!

[STIdarkside]

Looking good, were you able to pick it up today? Any more pics?

[MRLancaster]

And here she is!

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/06/0609011327-1.jpg

The tape pulled off paint on a few places, getting that fixed for free on wed, they were really upset. But I was like hey shit happens, Im sooo happy about the paint!

[STIdarkside]

Looks good, did you get the door jams painted as well?

[MRLancaster]

Didnt get the door jams painted. Going to do the jams flat black.

[Yamazaki]

Wow, that really does look nice. Now the car looks brand new.

[dodik]

light lints and some 17's would make it pop a bit more man, but it is sure clean as hell. once the paint is cured get it sealed with some good wax.

[MRLancaster]

Another pic. https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/06/0609011316c-1.jpg

And yea, got some 4th gen Legacy GT rims. Just using these tires first.

[chuckthefuk]

Wow... that v-limited lip really complements the color matched bumper.

I don't think I have ever seen a fully painted gen 3 outback.

Congrats on the unique ride and keep up the oh so sexy evolution.

Maybe some rally armor flaps and rain visors?

-Chuck

[MRLancaster]

Thanks! I dont think I've seen one either. I had RallyArmor but decided to ditch them, they looked funky. Sold them to my friend whose building a rally style RS. I do want to findsome rain visors over time. But right now saving up to instal the STI exhaust.

[chuckthefuk]

Order a set of AVS from autozone or pepboys....

Your a baller!! You can drop $60 on some visors :-D

-Chuck

[MRLancaster]

Hahahaha, yeah I just heard they broke easily thats why Im kinda meh about buying them

[MRLancaster]

Took some real pics of the car, instead of cell phone pics.
Enjoy!

[MRLancaster]

Oh and another update. I have a set of OZ Prodrive p1's :)

[chuckthefuk]

Sex on Sex!!!

[MRLancaster]

Its changed just a bit since the first pic I posted of my cr.

[02_Legacy]

Oh and another update. I have a set of OZ Prodrive p1's :)
I was just about to post and say now you need rims and then I read this :smt023

[Greavesy]

car looks great! loving the colour. I agree with the comment about tints. The Prodrive P1's will look spot on!

[Yamazaki]

+1 tint. I was also going to say rail deletes, but you actually use yours.
Outside of that, it's fantastic. I also like the GT-B grille with a Lancaster badge on an one-tone Outback body with an Impreza (I think) lip. THAT's originality with OEM parts, and that's hard to do. Awesome. :smt023

[MRLancaster]

Thanks! Yeah I am going to tint, but not much, I cant stand really tinted cars. As for the OEM look. I love it! Turned out very nice. The grill lancaster badge was the Lancaster6 badge you sent me. Shaved off the 6. and then got a regular Lancaster badge for the rear. The cars turned out for the best. Ive got discouraged by this car several times, but kept going with it and never gave up, and now its turned out for the best and havent been discouraged anymore. :) Only have a few more mods left to do on it. :)

Should have the Prodrives on in a week or two.

Oh and the Lip is an STI limited v Ebay lip. Bought the cheap one because I knew I'd be cutting it up to fit

[MRLancaster]

As for the rails, I do a lot of biking so theyre going to stay. Plus since it has the raised roof, I think it would look funny without the rails on it.

[MRLancaster]

Update, Rims will be on Sunday evening! :D

[LIMITED]

Some JDM spats or flaps in the back will look nice. Give it a finished look.

[MRLancaster]

Yeah, the back is very bland I hate it. Just worried because I'm not sure which one would fit best. My friends front WRX spats looked pretty nice, may get them

[jockstar]

is that a razo mirror i see?

[MRLancaster]

Broadway Mirror

[bobbyjimmy]

As for the rails, I do a lot of biking so theyre going to stay. Plus since it has the raised roof, I think it would look funny without the rails on it.

They do look abit weird without rails - I had mine off for a while when I changed to the JDM low style ones.

[SeriousSubaru]

great looking color

[Huffer]

Get some rear spats or a full rear bumper lip.... and TINT!
GT upper wing would be slick too.

[mycargoesvroom]

Wow... Just wow... Looks great man!

[MRLancaster]

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

Had some more fun taking pics.

Im going to be running rear spats eventually. I wouldnt mind making a bumper lip or something. But yeah, also after the rims on i officially think the car needs the spoiler. :)

sweet wagon.
headlights look cleared, nice touch.

[MRLancaster]

Thought about yellow fogs?
I'll run yellow bulbs one day, But i want to keep them clear

[Greavesy]

Think a rear gt spoiler would finish the back off nicely

[Yamazaki]

Think a rear gt spoiler would finish the back off nicely
+1. And a rear skirt. The rear end seems so high up because theres a lip in front but nothing in back.

[MRLancaster]

Been looking around junk yards for a spoiler...no luck so far. But I agree the spoiler would finish it. As for the bumper if you guys have any suggestions for what to do let me know...havent seen anything i could use....wrx front spats fit ok, but still leaves the back open and dull

[Huffer]

[MRLancaster]

Ive been pondering if I want to try those. Come across them several times. I guess if they dont fit I can sell them to someone else huh?

[Huffer]

Why wouldn't they fit? You have a BH.

[MRLancaster]

The rear bumpers on the gt have a different molding to them. Im sure I could line it up but just have been nervous about it. lol Putting the STI exhaust on next before I buy anything else. Tired of it mocking me in my living room lol. I also miss my rumble too

[Navi271]

I love it, the color of those wheels go great with the new color of the car.
keep up the good work.

[Yamazaki]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-98-03-SUBARU-LEGACY-REAR-BUMPER-SPATS-BH5-BH-WAGON-/130539962021?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e64c9bea5

Why would he buy that when I'm offering the full set (front AND rear) for the same price?

[MRLancaster]

That too. ;)


But yeah since the car is near completion (for now, until engine swap time arrives)...I want to thank YamazakiSubaru, JDM_ProTokyo on ebay, and several other people for helping supply all the various JDM goodies,Dodik, Reason, Huffer and everyone else on the SL-I community, and all the other various forums for inspiration, support and to help this creation turn into what it is now! Without all of you guys this car would have never gotten anywhere!

[MRLancaster]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/07/0712011113-1.jpg

[Yamazaki]

What exhaust is that? It looks good.

[Huffer]

STI axleback with a midpipe IIRC.

[MRLancaster]

Its just waaaaaay too quiet :( Pretty much no rumble :(

[MRLancaster]

Yeah, they are pretty dark. Possibly going out in the morning to do more pics. It was getting darker, and the sun was behind the building I was parked in front of. And my friend wouldnt let me change the settings on theyre camera. :( I need to save up and get myself a camera, other than my phone haha

Ya you kinda need to mess with the settings in that scenario lol. You can use photoshop or picnik.com if you can't afford photoshop to edit the photo.
Anyways, love the color and the wheels. I'd be proud to drive that.

[chrish8r]

Any updates on rear bumper or spoiler???? I gotta see how this thing turns out

[MRLancaster]

I have the JDM BH spoiler now, just have to get it painted, and gt the 3m Lip instaled and painted. The cars been in the shop, had an incident with a shovel falling off another vehicle and taking out my front end. Should have her back this week. So november I should have the spoiler on. And working on an idea for the rear bumper. Once I pick up a spare bumper I will get to working on that as well. Being in school makes money tight. And makes things into very slow process. lol

I know what you mean by money is tight and not being able to do much with school in session........and it urks me when random stuff like a falling shovel sets back a sweet car

[MRLancaster]

Yea, no fun at all. Ive been driving a Forenza for the past week, cannot wait to start the Legacy back up and hear her rumble again. :)

[Bhatman]

Fantastic Outback combo! Out of interest do you have any rubbing issues or scrape when going up driveways or curbs?

[MRLancaster]

Thanks! Yeah, here and there I scrape. Nothing major though. :)

[MRLancaster]

Got everything back together to how it was! Now I just have to install the rear wing, and find a bumper diffuser!

[MRLancaster]

Cell phone picture and a little light editing :)

[chrish8r]

No way man...haha...these new cell phones take some pretty bangin pics though

[amgarrety]

When are you going to install those JDM markers on your fenders? Those are sexy.

[MRLancaster]

In early 2012. In the process of moving right now. So they should be on around febuary or march I hope. What I'm probably going to do is go to a mazda dealership and see how the back of their fender signals look like, because they sit flat against the car, where as the legacy has the little dip where the light sits. So it maybe better to get the mazda ones.

[MRLancaster]

No way man...haha...these new cell phones take some pretty bangin pics though

That they do! And I still have a flip phone. Lol (Im not hip and cool when it comes to new phones like smart phones and what not lol I'd rather save my money) :smt023

[Dead91silvia]

I need to stop looking at your car, makes me wanna do the same thing to my BH! haha

Lookin good!

[Perdue]

You make me want a BH...and I have never liked the BH.

I'll just leave these here then....hehe. Got bored after classes....

You need to get that spoiler on there! And I know you said you aren't a fan of tint, but at add least a little bit...

[MRLancaster]

Yep! I'm definitely tinting it someday, possibly summer time. And once I finish moving back in with the parents, I will install the spoiler since they have a garage. Its hard to work on a car in an apartment.

[fwa2500]

holy crap it looks awesome now! how did i miss you getting it painted? has to be one of the best looking BHs ive seen

[beeda]

Love your BH. Hope mine is as clean some day

[MRLancaster]

@Yamazaki-Finally got around to installing the spoiler! :D

In the summer Im going to redo it along with the trunk, someone threw paint on my trunk, so I got to fix that.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/12/1204110852a-1.jpg
(pardon the messy garage, kind of crammed the wagon into it, parents don't keep their cars in there, so I made do with what I could do. Going to suck leaving the mountains when i move, but at least I can use their garage when I move back! :D )

You could do more at this point, but nothing else is really needed. Although I realize that none of us ever actually stop "improving" on our cars, and I don't expect you to either. :smile:

Granador or ??? mirrors and a skidplate (IMO.) if it where mine.... but it's not, and still looks hot. :smt023

Mud spats and a mid spoiler...

[MRLancaster]

Im going to do mud spats, looking for a 2nd gen wagon rear lip, the measurements are pretty close. Going to fiddle around with putting one on and painting it the same colour as the car, then do mud spats on that. Another thing that I should be getting soon is REV D headlights. And then replacing interior parts. Shes far from done. And one day hopefully a swap a few years from now.

[Huffer]

Don't do the Rev D lights. Retro some projectors!

Car looks sick. You've come a long way!

[MRLancaster]

I like retrofits, but the BH headlight doesnt have the lines or style to pull off projectors. Theres only a few I've seen that I actually like that look like they came like it.

[Huffer]

That's just an issue with the shrouds then. You can get different shrouds... effective lights > JDM bling...

[MRLancaster]

Toyed with window tint on the computer, it does improve the over all look. Going to get other things done first though.

[Huffer]

I keep telling everyone... tint makes cars look great!

[MRLancaster]

I just cant stand completely blacked out windows.

[Yamazaki]

I second this, but for a different reason. I still feel that unless done properly (i.e.- a full front end swap), the D type lights just look slap-dash and actually detract from the vehicle's looks.

[MRLancaster]

I'm not worried about the gap. It wont be a problem. Got that covered. :wink:
:smt023

[STIdarkside]

You went back to 17's? Are those tarmac II's in bronze?

Would appreciate seeing your wheel/tire combo specs in your mods list.... thanks

Looks great!

[MRLancaster]

OZ Prodrive P1's 17x7
225-45-17.

[MRLancaster]

Possibly trading the Prodrives for a set of B4 Rims. :3

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/12/b41-1.jpg

(Not my picture) Hopefully the trade goes through!

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/12/FotoFlexer_Photo85-1.jpg

Just a quick chop of them on the car :)

[STIdarkside]

Looks like a great trade if it works out...

While I like the way 18's look, I think 17's look better since there is a bit more tire on them...
Plus the brakes don't look so small.

[TGX4776]

looking good! i also vote for a retro

[bobbyjimmy]

They are the same wheels that came out here (Australia) and Japan on the 01 - 05 WRX's.
Various colours thou.

[MRLancaster]

Boredom after exams...

[SativaMan04]

The B4 wheels are going to look really good! Can't wait to see them

[Navi271]

I love the B4 rims, but I also love the color combo you have going on right now with the bronze/copper/whatever and blue. It's up to you, but I'd stick with what you have.

Nice tiny car too!

[Guig'z]

Oh man, spoiler, b4 rims, retrofits,

You love my car Tanner, I know it! Hahaha!

Seriously, love the car ( Duh!)!

Now missing a JDM cluster ;)

[MRLancaster]

Thanks man! Yeah, I wouldnt mind the cluster, but I will have to wait on that. I'm still meh about the retro fitting. lol

[MRLancaster]

If you still have the Outback this summer, maybe we can meet up north with some other members of Factory 3rd! Even if you dont have it, bring what ever you get! :D

[Guig'z]

I'll have my LGT STI, but if I have time and time off work, i'll sure do!! :D

Always thought your car is black but its actually a dark blue. Looks great :smt023

[MRLancaster]

Yep, just depends on the lighting

[MRLancaster]

New goal and look for 2012.

[geckoboy86]

I still say panda it like the trueno of initial d.

[Yamazaki]

Are you going to do a Pearlescent paint job?

[MRLancaster]

Either Pearl, or Gloss white

[MRLancaster]

Reasons for painting:
1. If me and my friend trade bumpers, I will have a silver bumper
2. The shop who painted the car didnt do that great, theres orange peel and parts are fading a little in areas.
3. I have to get the trunk repainted, a. to match the spoiler with the trunk, and b. theres a drip from where they painted.
4. After the front end was taken out from the shovel that fell off a truck in front of me, the front is perfect but the front door to the back is just orange peel.

[MRLancaster]

Or Blitzen Red.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/BlitzenRed-1.jpg

Hard decision!

[Yamazaki]

Or Blitzen Red.
Hard decision!
I would say don't do that, but that's just because I've seen so many here....
I guess over there it would be pretty unique.

But the Pearl would be my choice (not that you asked :smt002)

[MRLancaster]

Hahahaha, yeah I'm leaning towards the Pearl as well. I like the red, but I think it would stand out a bit too much. Otherwise, I love it!

[r3v_v3ng3]

They both look good. The pearl white is probably going to cost you more to do.

[rocketlegacy]

i like the "arrest me red" more... but im kinda bias.

[still_alive]

dude that pearl white would be sexy..but are you thinking 2007 Sti pearl white or 2012 Legacy satin pearl white?

[Tylerhartman]

You should get a baja turbo hood before you get it painted i think it would looks great just sayin. Nice car!

[MRLancaster]

Thats on my list, Im going to finish everything on the body first. Its going to look awful in the upcoming months once I start getting the parts together.

[SativaMan04]

Pearl white or aspen white! Black is also a great color for BH's, but only if the paint job is top notch! You're car is looking awesome!!

[MRLancaster]

Well something came up today...the head gasket finally went. And the harness has been bad for a while, there for since I have to get that and the motor fixed Im going to go ahead and swap. :) Currently looking for a 2.5 wrx motor for a heart transplant.

[SativaMan04]

I think the wrx motors are 2.0turbo.

Sorry to hear about that, but Lucky you!! Boostin it!!

[MRLancaster]

06 and 07 are 2.5's I believe. But yeah, looking for an affordable lowere mileage than the motor I have now

[geckoboy86]

2006-7 is a 2.5
2002-5 is a 2.0.

The 2.5 only gains 3hp and 18lbs or torque.

Either would be a good replacement.

[MRLancaster]

Going to be a stressful next month or two. But in the end, the results will be great!

[Yamazaki]

If memory serves correctly, the 2.5L WRX had an EJ255- the same engine designation as the one in the S402 and Forester STI. So, bonus for you!

[SativaMan04]

Oops. Sorrry bou that. On the bright side, you're going to have turbo! lucky!! and you're legs will be stronger from all that biking/walking you're going to be doing. hehe jk jk. You're right though in the end the results will be astronomical! Siighhh!!! BH5Ritch has the STI 6spd for sale as well as the BP axles, hubs, and case that you would need for the swap.

[MRLancaster]

Well scrapped the wrx swap, hopefully picking up a lightly modded BD this week or next to replace the BH :)
The BH will be parked and engine and transmission wise slowly parted out, and have it set aside to start a full sti swap in the future.

Hopefully starting a new thread for the new member of the family :)

[httrdd]

Sweet, but why STi? There is a lot of modding to a Wrx engine for half the cost you can do. Buy a block put it on an engine stand and start building it! That way you know you have started from scratch.

[amgarrety]

This news is bittersweet. I can't wait to see your car even beastlier than before, but that's not cool that you'll be without it for awhile. I hope you get the Lancaster back up and running!

But yeah, the STI is really nothing special over the WRX engine, and by the time you do the right mods, you're right up to STI spec without the insane cost. The only real advantage is you could call your car STI instead of "tuned to STI specs".

But if you're going STI, that means you're coming to the dark side, right? I'm talking about maybe a little something different where your 4EAT used to be.....

[TGX4776]

you should buy my bd

[MRLancaster]

Whats all done to it? And how much? Im hoping this local one goes through. But I will keep you in mind if it doesnt!

[MRLancaster]

@Garrety- Its going to probably be a year or two, its going to be a slow project but once I finish my semester and a half, then get a full time job, I will get a lot more done to the BH

[MRLancaster]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/01/P1000850-1.jpg

[02_Legacy]

For a project that is supposed to take a few years you sure have a fast start lol

[MRLancaster]

Well it may, depends on job and what not. XD

[MRLancaster]

Plus some friends want several parts. So cash to go towards the swap as well, and the cluster and Momo wheel are going into the BD

[httrdd]

^^ That is what i did. Lol. Sell off watever can be replaced.

[MRLancaster]

Well the Legacy I was hoping to get disappeared. Back to looking up used Legacys. :smt012

[chrish8r]

I know you were talking about puttinga turbo swap in this car.....is that still your plan??? if so, that would be pretty sweet

[MRLancaster]

Yep still the plan, just trying to find a employment. Havent had any luck since I moved back to Richmond

[MRLancaster]

Hello everyone, it has been a few minutes since I have posted up on here. Plans changed, the Legacy is now running again. Wont be swapping motors. But now that I have a new job at a hospital, there will be some drastic changes to the outside appearance of the Legacy. Say good bye to how it looks here.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/07/Frontt-1.jpg

Many many changes coming soon. Sorry to disappoint about the swap. Right now it's not the route to go on.

[98legwag]

Good to see its running again.

[amgarrety]

Can't wait to see where you go with this!

[MRLancaster]

Good to see its running again.

Very glad to have her running again! Took me a few weeks to get everything working again and put back together.

[chrish8r]

I cant even to begin to think of how you are gonna make this look. Cant wait to see it

[Yamazaki]

But now that I have a new job at a hospital, there will be some drastic changes to the outside appearance of the Legacy.
Hospital? Drastic exterior changes?
...so all white with a big red 'plus' sign on the sides...? :wink:

As much as I'd love to, I doubt I will be able to make this meet. Maybe the next one.

[MRLancaster]

You guys will be pleased with the Legacy's transformation. :)

[98legwag]

I think I have an idea of what is coming.

[MRLancaster]

And what would that be :)

[98legwag]

I think it involves some parts from YamazakiSubaru.

[amgarrety]

^I think you're wrong, but along the right track.

But what do I know?

[geckoboy86]

So...With all this 'Legacy's transformation' are you going to rename this from 'MRLancaster 00 Outback-Running' to 'MRLancaster 00 Legacy-Running'

[MRLancaster]
