Reuben's 98 GTB Limited - Massive pic dump, slow DSL need not apply
1998 Legacy GTB Limited, Manual, Black.
I got the car in November 2007, and blew the engine 3 months later. I rebuilt it, and single turbo converted it, and have great plans for it. Here's the rundown. Blue items i have, but are not fitted yet, red is on order.
Engine
EJ207 S20C V7 semi-forged, semi-closed-deck crate motor from Subaru.
Reconditioned original EJ20R Heads
ARP Head studs
Baffled Sump
Single Turbo Conversion completed in Feb 2008, and ongoing engine bay mods;
WRX RA V2 Exhaust manifold
SG Up-pipe
VF39 Single scroll, less than 5000k's when purchased! (from a 2.5L STi)
Rage 3" Catless downpipe
Rage 3" midpipe, with high flow (Straight through) silencer
HKS 3" Silent hi power muffler (Straight through)
Snorkus removed
STi V4 Intercooler
STi V4 inlet manifold, (powdercoated for an extra 5hp :lol:)
Twin Reg Split fuel rail, using two factory right hand rails
STi V3 ECU
V3 Coilpack setup
HKS EVC III (Electronic boost controller)
Blitz Full auto turbo timer
The engine now basically resembles a stock V3 STi engine, with a VF39, and brand new forged internals (though being GTB, it's shim over bucket, rather than under), and 3" exhaust.
So it has A LOT of unrealised potential. Currently it's running 18 psi and probably around 250 HP At the wheels.
Handling:
Bridestone Potenza RE003’s on all 4 corners.
STi V8 KYB's
STI V4 Front Carbon fiber strut brace
Cusco K-brace
STi V6 Alloy control arms
STi V3 Steering rack, 2.75 turns lock to lock.
STi V3 Short shifter.
STi Rose Jointed Pink Lateral/trailing arms
Front and rear camber bolts.
Rear subframe locking bolts.
Interior:
Defi Boost gauge
V3 STi cluster
Exterior:
Stock GTB limited all the way! And i'm leaving it stock too.
Factory spoiler (Had to get this as it came with an RFRB piece of shit)
STi Carbon fibre sump guard

Bump for a sweet ride! Any updates Ruben?
Re: Reuben's 98 GTB Limited
Fraid not, the $$$ situation is pretty dire at the moment, i'm waiting on a big job/project to bring in some extra $'s at the moment.
In the mean time i've had to sell the low springs i got :roll:
Re: Reuben's 98 GTB Limited
Small update of sorts. While the un-employment persists, i've managed to finally get the car back on the road after blowing up the tyres MONTHS ago. Got the bridgestone adrenalin RE001's, f'n fantastic rubber :3 Also managed to get some STi wagon springs for $40 from a mate, will be fitting them SOON. I mean it this time, in a week or two at most hopefully!
Took some pics.
Dirty un-used leggy is durty.
