    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 )
    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
