r3v_v3ng3's 97 outback ()

[r3v_v3ng3]

I got this 97 legacy outback for $500 (could of put the money to my gt but with this price I couldn't refuse). The only problem is that it needs a new engine. There's a hole in the block. Body is straight, manual transmission and over 200k miles. The interior is clean but missing little pieces like window switches.

Interior: stock
Exterior:
LGT rear bumper


Wheels/tires: stock
Chassis/suspension: stock suspension

Engine: rebuilt 96 ej25d with 97-99 pistons

Drivetrain: ebay stage 2 clutch

Future plans: My friend and I split on this legacy wagon with lots of goodies and I will be installing lots of cool stuff on it. Wait and see








Now this will be more of my daily when I have it running. As far as future plan for the car, it'll be lowered, intake/exhaust and some jdm stuff. It won't be as crazy like my GT but it'll definitely a backup car!

Very nice find. There is no way of resisting a sub-$1000 Subaru. haha

[98legwag]

Good deal.

Thanks. I found a better deal and my friend and I split the cost of the car and split the goodies. Hopefully he'll come over to upload the pics (always better with pics). All I can say is OMG theres so much cool stuff on that car


I'll be removing the engine tomorrow :smt026

Manual!? I didn't know such a thing exsisted in the states! :P

Fucking good find, no matter what the state, it's a worthy project!

You know.... I have to manually push it since the engine is blown lol

Anyways pulled the engine out today. Guess the engine been change before since this one seems to be from attarco motors.
(I don't know whats going on with photobucket but when I upload the pic it was vertical and now its sideways even after i edited it and saved it, still the same!!!!



Things to do:
Tear down the engine to see whats salvageable (hope the heads are but i doubt it)
Clean the engine bay
Also need to order a new clutch and resurface the flywheel since its burnt and unequal wear

Good luck man, these things are real easy to work on. I want to do something like this if the opportunity arises.... with the addition of a snail

[Dead91silvia]

Nice! Cant wait to see the 'other' parts installed!

I had a 97 that was a 5 speed OB and it was pretty fun!

Hey, let me know if you dont need the driver side head, I might be interested.

They are! Love pulling out the motor since its easy. I only charged my friend a venti starbucks last time we pulled his out lol. Yeah doing a turbo on my bd right now but did a big fail in the beginning lol (thats why its taking so long). But if you stick with the stock turbo setup you should be golden

Thanks. Only thing is that I want to lower it but I noticed this things (outbacks) have the chassis spacers on em. Hopefully coilovers can cure em. Started to dismantle the engine early but didn't have the right tool to remove the heads (breaker bar). Even the 1/2 inch electric impact gun can't break loose the bolts

My brother put some Eibach Pro-Kit springs on his and it turned out looking great. Here's a pic:

^^ Looks great


Ok here is the parts car that I was talking about. 95 legacy wagon with lots of GOODIES
its auto 175,xxx miles
salvage title
car runs but he hit a curb. needs a (driver) lower control arm/tie rods/strut. We have our stock wheels to swap later also
bought it for $850 in antelope (sacramento area) and had it towed back 90 miles from home. Gotta love AAA
My friend and I split it so 425 each.

here is the damage








Were gonna take all the stuff we want and swap our stock stuff on it and then resell it back for about the same amount or more. Basically we'll have the parts for free

heres pics of the engine bay and interior





putting this headliner on the outback


dual port ej22

stainless steel brake lines (goodrich)

hella supertones

has an cat back exhaust with sti tips

[Navi271]

Are you kidding me?! RFRB spoiler? JDM bump strips? WRX seats front AND rear?! Lots of other awesome things on this car. Looks like someone put in some time to JDM this car out.

Idk how you will split all the stuff with someone else, I'd want everything for myself! Great find.

[98legwag]

So freaking jealous of that deal. Two Legacy's for $1400 and a whole lot of nice jdm/aftermarket stuff.

[Outbackid]

You got one amazing deal. Nice job man, I'm jealous as hell.

Thanks. Yup very lucky although I won't be able to slap on the spoiler until i get the whole car painted. Yeah whoever owned it before did put alot of jdm stuff on it.

Well luckily, me and him talked about what we wanted out of it first before we purchased it. I'll be getting majority of it since I have the outback lol

Thanks fellahs. I will have a list of the cool stuff thats on the car that were keeping. Keep in mind that we can sell the legacy back for the same price and break even, basically have all this stuff for free. Or I should take the engine off and install it to the outback. its 2.2 instead of the 2.5 but its dual port. Hmmmm decisions decisions

[Dead91silvia]

Now thats a good find!

[Reuben]

That is a lot of JDM stuf indeed. And nice to see it will be actually getting put on a BG!

And 2.2 is superior, pop proper heads on it and make it rev to 7.5, or even 8K, sorted. Can't do that with a 2.5!

Yes. The only thing that stopping me from doing the 2.2 from the wagon is that I have to smog the car and if the smog technician checks the engine and its not a 2.5 he's gonna fail me. The second is that it's harder to sell the car parts by parts, easier to sell it as a running car.

[r3v_v3ng3]

Okay here's the list of goodies from the white car

what i'm taking:
jdm headlights
jdm taillights
jdm sidemarkers
jdm spoiler
jdm legacy kick plates and the rear bumper padding
gt rear bumper/lip
hella fog lights
cargo cover
headliner with sunglass console
gt side skirt
cat back exhaust
all this is going to my outback

plus..... the carpet for my gt and its very subtle and overlooked but the car came with the jdm flat side moldings!!!!! definitely completes the jdmness for my GT lol


what my friend is taking:
jdm front bumper/bumper support
strut bar
jdm grill
gt hood
jdm power folding heated mirrors
interior (woodgrain interior/door panel/dash/steering wheel)
wrx seats (traded my sedan one for his wagon)
stainless steel brake lines

Unclaimed for and probably gonna sell
hell supertones (not really a fan)
wheels
the suspension (it actually has a nice drop on it so i don't know what springs they are)

Seems like i got the better of the bargain lol. So were gonna be transferring our parts to the donor car and then i'll paint match it so it can go back to the market.

[Dead91silvia]

Sounds like both of you are making out alright on the deal. I was wondering what you guys where planing to do with some of the other parts.

[Outbackid]

Would you ship the wheels? I'd be interested if you would and wanted to sell 'em.

Which other parts?

As far as the wheels go, the one that got hit is unuseable (bent). So only 3 is useable not a full set so I don't think you'd want em

[r3v_v3ng3]

Installed the jdm taillights and wow what a difference does it makes!

My BD and my bro's GC in the background

[chrish8r]

Such beauty that lies in that picture above.....

[Reuben]

3 sets of JDM tails in that shot, good shit! So pretty.

But now you have a problem.. DOUBLE LEGACY, WHOOOAAA BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

[98bk6]

Such a lucky bastard.. Me so jelous.. Lol.. Good find let me know of you want to get ride of any of those jdm parts fot the bk..
