So I did a thing yesterday...



I'm back in a Legacy! Almost three whole years since I sold my first BD, and now I can say I'm no longer the outsider with an Impreza. Picked up this 2006 Spec B from a close friend who was no longer interested in the car. I sold my WRX for an offer I could not refuse, and then purchased this car the next weekend. Here's a list of the some of the features and parts that I know are on the car.

Congrats Chad! Awesome car!

Thanks guys. I love everything about the car, even its flaws. After driving around the area for 225 miles I discovered some small issues. The main one is that the right rear caliper may be stuck, and is dragging on the rotor. There is a humming noise at high speeds. The car also has some damaged interior trim pieces, but what bugs me the most is that it's filthy! She needs a complete detail. Hoping to have all of these issues fixed before the end of the month, so I can start to modify the car the way I would like to.

Humming noise as in wheel bearings? If so, from what I have read you definitely want to OEM for those. People on legacygt.com have said aftermarket ones can somehow mess up the ABS sensors and cruise control.

Mine had a humming noise coming from the rear when I bought it as well. I thought it was the brakes, but turned out to be the wheel bearing. It never got much louder, even up to when it started separating from the car...

Do you have a mod list?

[r3v_v3ng3]

Great find! Did it also came with a jdm rear bumper?

[soba noodle]

Niiice, more and more 4th gens!

Man do we need to do those gettysburg photos again.

[Dead91silvia]

Now thats what I'm talk'n about! Now sell that Impreza and dump the money into this. :P

[98legwag]

Impreza is gone I think. I think he sold it to buy this awesomeness.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Hey guys sorry I haven't had time to respond until now. The humming noise is definitely coming from a locked up caliper. There is a nice groove mark where the pads are digging into the rotor. Ordering all new rear brakes tonight. And I still technically own my WRX, but the owner paid to buy the so we're just waiting for the title to arrive.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Yes it did, along with a lot of horsepower! Lol

[98legwag]

So are we ever going to get a mod list?!

I don't even know what's been done to the car! Haha you'll get one when I have a list made.

Fair enough. We already know JDM front and rear bumpers and big FMIC.

Haha it needs to be cleaned up. I'm getting the stock engine cover and will be hydrodipped in some way. And yes the owner that built the car told me it made 344hp on the dyno. If I were to get a new fuel pump and bigger injectors it could make 400awhp

[LeggyxPower]

Damn ...tell me your doing that lol. And it seems like it was a sweet pick up

Haha I'll have to wait until next years tax return comes in. And I only paid $300 more then what I owed on my WRX.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Trying to decide on the new set of wheels for my Lego. I think I'll ask SLi for some advice.

I like the rotiform r120

[98legwag]

I have been thinking about getting some YS5's myself.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Yesterday my new rear brake kit arrived from RallySportDirect. Everything seems to be right, and I'm hoping to install them along with a new right rear hub assembly after work tomorrow.

[98legwag]

I have the Stoptech street pads on my wagon. Be prepared for lots of brake dust. But they do stop very well.

I second this notion
