    Re: Gecko's 95 Legacy (Update: Going RS)

    Another user tried to do that. Turned into way too much hassle.

    No updates yet on the bumper...Hit a snag last weekend, I messed up the threading on the beam so that halted my progress. Ordered in a tap to fix it cause no one locally sold a 12mm 1.25 tap.

    Re: Gecko's 95 Legacy (Update: Going RS)

    just get an impreza L beam and hack half of it off, you save alot of weight and their easier to acquire

    also send me a text a week or 2 before you come up so i can get off work but i have a feeling you'll pick the weekend when I'm in New Jersey

    I saw a thread about a legza one time. It was a whole front end coversion. It looked weird and the body lines did not flow right.

    A little bit of Wrx, a little bit of 2.5RS, a little bit of STi, a LOT of SVX!

    Will I ever supercharge this Eg33???

    Not really...Havent had time. Anytime I put towards working on it needs to include reassembly time as this is my only car.

    Well. I am back finally. Switch my email and had to wait to be reactivated.

    Got 2 updates.


    And this was done awhile ago, Just never posted. I have had no issue with law enforcement. I have noticed that people keep a decent distance when I brake.

    What's the progress with the RS bumper? What else is there that is holding you back that you can't put it on?

    As awesome as it would be, I'm not feeling the gap under the lights and grille. Maybe it would be less noticeable on a darker color, but still.

    did the strut bar line up or did you have to drill new holes?

    Re: Gecko's 95 Legacy (Update: Going RS)

    was on rs25 and some one stated and i quote "the front will not fit. You will have to drill new holes to bolt the front one down, would not be worth it imo.Also, it might not clear your hood too and then i came across this thread and so i was just wondering
