See the price of the hoods drop? They are below 400 bucks now.. Yeeeeehawwww...

Group Buy Costs
5-9 hoods $380

yup, not really looking forward to running hoodpins, so we'll see. :neutral:

[Airgne]

well thanks for doing a MR. your car is awsome. i will be doing my swap next year, but mine will be alittle different. also i would love to get a CF hood, but would not have the money until FEB10.

[Yamazaki]

Those Aero Catch pins are awesome. I have them on my Impreza and they're clean (flush) and easy to pop open. A very good choice in my opinion.....
I can't wait to see the result.

[JoeT]

Just got in my Perrin adjustable lower control arms for the rear suspension, so for next year's race season, I'll be able to get more -ve camber in the rear. -2.5 degrees rear camber with -3.5 front for awesome cornering, next race season...!!!!

oooh are those made for the BL/BP? I was thinking they would fit on the BE/BH models too but I'm out of cash at the moment :lol:

If you're referring to the 05+ Legacy GT, yes. They share many of the same rear suspension components as the BE/BH. Traling arm
Lower Lateral Link
Rear Toe Control Link
Upper Control Arm

All are interchangeable.

I'm currently using the Legacy STI rear toe control arm on my car, it's got a sealed spherical bearing in it instead of the standard rubberized bushing.. Muahahahaha.. Fits like a glove.

[chuckthefuk]

nice T-leg. And nice to see another legacy guy from Toronto. Are you planning on going in on the group buy from VK? My buddy already put a deposit on one of those hoods.

Yup, I'm the guy that got Vince (VKInnovations) to get the GB going, he's going to use my current hood as the plug for the mold. Definately getting a CF hood and painting it body colour. I've got to lighten up this 3800 Lb boat. I'm also getting custom aluminum bumper beams made up along with other stuff to make this car lighter.

[chuckthefuk]

Excellent! Vince wont make me anything unless I do group buys... but the demand/interest is just not there.

Anyways my buddy thanks you for starting the group buy, this hood is 10% cheaper then a aluminum version so its win win for him.

I did not know this. Good info. Sick car.

[subaru_terrence]

let me know if you sell your hood... i think a body colour one will look better than a CF one on my car :P

[JoeT]

Sure, I can be persuaded to let it go. Send me a PM with an offer and I'll make sure it goes to the correct home after it's used as a mold.

Journal updated.

what offset are your wheels? what type tires are you running?

[JoeT]

The wheels are SSR Comps 17X8.5, 48 Offset with 3mm spacer (soon to change to 17x9 42 offset)
Tires are Toyo R1R, I'm running in the Street Tire class this year, size: 255-40-17

The tires are so sticky that when I compared my raw time in my old class of FSP, I was 4 seconds ahead of the leader. In STU I'm 9 Seconds ahead of the 2nd place guy.

nice to see you still kicking around the legacy Joe :)

Oh yeah, the Leggy has been relegated to "Recommended for Competition Use Only" and the occasional weekend drive. I actually have 3 Subies, our family barge is the Tribeca, my daily beater is an SVX, which is temporary until the Legacy Diesel comes out. So the Leggy is winter stored and is pretty much purpose built now. The goal will be to keep it as stock looking as possible, and to remove as much weight from it over next winter, in the name of performance. Should be fun.

[Airgne]

so joe. im wondering what all i need for the brembo swap. if you can give me a list of parts that i need that would be awsome. also what about your axels and driveshaft? for the front and rear cv's and driveshaft are custom made? is this because they are in the be5 chasis? if needed can your shop makes the same again for my car? i will be doing the 6mt drivetran with brembos next year.

also need axels that will handle the supercharger.
