[henryq89]

I wnt u sexy turbod wagon Rueben lol.....looks great with all the JDMness u get to have ....any nice of the blue wagon in the garage?

[Shale]

Those new tyres make it stick like a sticky thing! I've actually been in the black beast (and driven it!)... totally one of my favourite cars EVER. )

Can't wait til it's lowered

[Reuben]

FINALLY lowered it. What a bastard of a job. Used stock GF8 STi springs. Total cost for job; $40








New stance:

[Shale]

EPIC WIN IS EPIC! That thing looks like pure secks like that...so much better than the skyscraper look

Bloody pity I can't see it in real life for once...

[scubydu]

So clean! So clean!Definitely one of my fav wagons on here.
I think the only thing I would do if she were mine is debadge the rear. I think it would smooth it out alot.
Beautiful though

[Reuben]

Cheers

Teeheehee, not a chance in hell, that thing is staying totally stock on the outside.

[Benfolio]

Looks GREAT.

Why'd you pull the lateral arms off the knuckle?

[Reuben]

The bolt was SO tight, we had to get 2 power bars on it, and the only way was to disassemble the whole bloody thing...

Then it did this to one of the power bars:



I meant it when i said it was a bastard of a job!

Anyway, did the proper photoshoot today, got some nice happy snaps:

[Huffer]

About time. :P

[Shale]

Evil Legacy is evil. Man that thing looks tidy on its arse!

There better be petrol in the tank when I get back to NZ...

[sybir]

Looks awesome with the new stance, dude.

[B4legy]

Like this car-and i want the same wheels too-Volk CE28's-best lookin wheels ever.

[Reuben]

What's new? I got me a V3 STi Carbon Fibre strut brace, it's horny as When we were picking it up, i noted a puddle of coolant under the car, so i zipped back home and pulled the radiator out. Blown as a blown thing! Luckily i had a mate on hand who offered to lend me the cash for a new radiator, so i no got me a full alloy radiator, with a massive 50mm core! it's fantastic .

Did a photoshoot about a month ago too, never got round to posting these:

[Shale]

...I really ought to edit and post those pics of both the Ltds om nom nom.

[geckoboy86]

Great pics. I WANT THOSE WHEELS (off the impreza or your Legacy).

[Shale]

The goldies go for less than $1000NZ sometimes. I paid $900 for those...they even came with absolutely roasted RE070s

[Reuben]

There's actually some of the impreza wheels up for grabs at the moment, see my parts thread (it's in the global announcements.)

[geckoboy86]

Your talking bout the "JDM parts direct from NZ, the little land of JDM" thread. I just did a quick search though it, didnt see anything (i was using the find function in my browser to find the word rim or wheel).

I love that GC8. Looks like Bunta's GC8 from Initial D (the video game version). Only differences is his is a 2 door and an STi.

You're a friggen' sharp man. That's actually the inspiration for this car; Bunta's ver5 You get a whole tray of e-cookies. And a muffin.

(Sorry for the threadjack babe - BACK TO THE BLACK BEAST!)

Woops, that's cause i failed, and decided not to stick them up. It's all pending on if i can afford to organise a pallet to the states. You have a PM.

[Zac]

Love your wagon dude!

Hey I was wondering, do you think I could install one of those digital HVAC controls on my wagon?

After some though i'm not sure I could since i'll need to have some actuators to move the cables and doors.

[slaytalera]

very nice drop, and i love the wheels!

if memory serves me right you have to replace your whole HVAC system for it to work

[Reuben]

HVAC?

You guy's talking about the aircon computer? Cause yeah, i've heard the same thing, too much bother to bother.

[deez11550]

ur car is amazing it gives me a bonner. I was wondering what type of fog lights u have and not the outer ones the inner ones next to ur license pate, are the hella or piaa.
ur car makes me happy and tickle inside

[fwa2500]

those are the stock driving lights that are on the GT-B Limited

[deez11550]

Oooo thanks alot, but wouldent u think they look a bit like these http://www.myhellalights.com/halogen_lamps/Hella_500_Fog_Lamp_Kit.html hahah and i just bought a 97 white legacy gt lastweek im trying to figure out what to do to it its a 97' like urs.

[Reuben]

Well, for one, my bumper is japanese only, so you won't be able to replicate myset up if that's what you were wondering. Also, it is very very much stock, and the lights are bosch. But they are just a standard size.. i'm going to be going for some narva's to replace them, since the bosch ones have smoked lenses, and only do like 25 or 50 watt's or something silly, narva have crystal and are 100w

Anyway, waxed the car on the weekend, took some pics of the paint:

[Shale]

Backbreaking work it is too, but dear god is it worth it. Didn't even realise it was Cherry Black til it was done

[deez11550]

OOoohhhh jezzzzus, ur car is amazing if it was a cookie id eat it in one bite. MMhhmm good

[BE-Fresh]

Looks sweeeet!


Anyone else not able to see the pics following the lowered ones?
