Modified Legacys

[Mines]

this is my first post and after checking-up monthy, someone finally made a legacy forum 8) . I have been intrested in the legacy ever since i saw the JDM spec. B in Automobile Magazing in the summer. I hope to get the subaru legacy 2.5gt in March. The car looks clean and has many other potentials (sti engine).

I want to see a black wagon with the Spec B's or Detroit F1's in gold or medium bronze. :P

[Dr. Zevil]

I am diggin' the HKS wagon. That thing looks very understated.. very cool. I will be getting a wagon if it has acceptable roof rails.

[Mines]

Please feel free to post any pictures of modified subarus or any peformance parts :mrgreen:

Here are some performance exhausts that are available in Japan

excellent pictures. I'll have to look up the Legacy pictures of the Corazon Legacy at www.calma.co.jp

[AMT4SWA]

That kit on the silver wagon on the website looks like the new 2005 A6 nose...hmmm!

[PPower]

yep. You'll notice the Audi look on the Impreza wagon kit as well. I LOVE the Impreza wagon kit, but I'm not as big a fan of the 05 A6 look.

Don't like the front bumper - why does the US get the good stuff ?we get cheated on so much more

[SUBE555]

Cheated, that begs a question with the people who decide on some of the running gear and what items were changed to meet USDM requirements. Part of it was to accomodate certain specs, others perhaps price, but I wonder about the various changes. There are a lot of good points about it though if you ask me.

I also never knew that there is a cast/SSF version of the GC-06D. That should be at least a little bit cheaper.

[Dr. Zevil]

You and the white wheels... maybe you need to get a set.

[PPower]

:lol: Don't like them too much. For white, the GC-06 is nice.

Since my last car was black paint w/ white wheels, I had the worst of both for keeping clean. I think I'll forever pass on white wheels, but black may be hard to pass up.

What kind of key is that? I can't really tell.

[AMT4SWA]

That key goes to the "Black Triangle" UFO's everyone keeps reporting throughout the U.S. over the last 6 years.....OOOUUUUHHH! 8)

Phoenix March of 1998...remember the lights over the city?

[kage]

What kind of key is that? I can't really tell.
That is the new Legacy key (duh). The other side has the alarm buttons built in, so you don't have an extra fob to deal with. I love it.

[SUBE555]

I like the new Legacy key fob. Saves room on my keychain and easier to throw in my pocket without multiple parts moving around.

[axis008]

Sweet!!

[PPower]

probably won't make it to the USDM like w/ the Impreza.

[SUBE555]

Is the other countries key fob for the Imprezas different?

I thought we so those fobs at the detroit show?

[MSB]

And the other side of the key. The one with 3 buttons is for the sedan - extra one for opening the boot.

[Dr. Zevil]

Am I hearing right that the wagon doesn't have an auto open feature on the tail? That's odd. Seems like that would be a great idea. I would hate to have to use my key to get into the wagon every time.

[MSB]

If the car is open, there is a lever above the number plate, but there isn't a remote release for the wagon. At least not on the JDM.

[Dr. Zevil]

So you would unlock the doors with the remote and then the 5th door (wagon door) is unlocked? I suppose that's gonna work. I hate my WRX because I either have to enter the cabin of the vehicle to open the trunk or use my keys.. not very hand whatsoever!

[MSB]

Yup, the wagon door is treated like a 5th door.

The only downside is that if you drive around with the doors unlocked, it would be possible for someone tp open the boot and grab anything on view.

On other cars the boot won't open when the engine is running, or you lock the doors whilst in the car. This may be something they change for the US as bag snatching from cars is not as rife as in Europe or elsewhere.

[Dr. Zevil]

That's a good point about the 5th door being unlocked while driving. Hopefully they fix that minor issue.. but it's not like it would be a big deal to me here in the states! Thanks for the info, you are a valuable resource!

[SUBE555]

I know you can unlock the wagon '5th door' with the remote on my dad's 00 Leg L Wagon. Don't think it's locked though like the JDM ones, who knows if that feature is really necessary here in the U.S.

Wow is that a lot of different lights. I do like the STi gauges in there but they seem a little abnoxious with the heavy blue backlight. It could just be an artifact from the photo though. Anyway, NICE PICS! I also like that wind on the sedan. I wonder how much that hidden gauge pod goes for?

[Dr. Zevil]

..on second thought those must not be STi gauges but a custom job. Nice thought but those gauges are waaay toooo much!

[PPower]

As for the non-North America WRX, I believe most other countries have the buttons on the key whereas it is a separate fob for the US. This could be because so many people will get aftermarket alarms, so it cuts down on size by not having it on the key.

As for the blue backlight being too much, the pics of the JDM screen with worthless gauges that people want is blue as well. I don't like the blue because it is hard to see on those gauges as well as the JDM Subaru screen.

[axis008]

That STi gauge thingy in the center console is SO COOL!!!

[gtmy04]

So you would unlock the doors with the remote and then the 5th door (wagon door) is unlocked? I suppose that's gonna work. I hate my WRX because I either have to enter the cabin of the vehicle to open the trunk or use my keys.. not very hand whatsoever!

In the sedan, the key fob is the ONLY way to unlock the boot (trunk) from outside the car. The boot doesn't have a lock cylinder (nor does the passenger side front door).

[/quote]Nice!!! I like the double spoiler a lot! That's a gotta have![/quote]

Why spoil the lines of the car with some dumb piece of plastic?

[axis008]

Do you think it will look good with a lip? I think i've seen a picture of it somewhere but I don't know where... I remember liking it though. Nothing extreme and it doesn't yell out ricer which is really good.

[cotmfk]

Why spoil the lines of the car with some dumb piece of plastic?[/quote]

Well, see, this is the beauty of the world we live in. There's choice! You can have yours with no spoiler, and I can have mine with spoiler. :)

Another way of putting it: Would you like it if all of them came over in a very neutral color like silver or black, and all with 5 speed auto, black leather, etc... ALL optioned out the same way? Customization through different options, packages, etc, will help sell to more people because the car will appeal to more people.

For me, if the spoiler is actually functional in producing downforce, then it is worth it. I like lip spoilers a lot, and that one has one integrated with a regular spoiler. If both of those are producing downforce, that will help the car stick to the road at high speeds, which I travel frequently.

[SUBE555]

I like the added spoiler on my MY97 BD GT, but I think it's redundant on the new ones.

[Dr. Zevil]

I like the wing and if I was going to get a sedan I would get one.. if the price wasn't outrageous which I am sure it is.

[SUBE555]

Probably similar to WRX wing in cost.

[Dr. Zevil]

Doesn't matter, 'cause Zevil's taking the first train to Wagon-ville! Maybe I can put that wing on TOP of the back of the wagon.. THAT WOULD BE PIMP!



I can fly! :lol:

Yesterday I saw a big flimsy plastic wing on the top of a bus (think painted up school bus). I'm sure that helped him as well.

[THAWA]

I love the no spoiler thing on the stock ones :)

[cotmfk]

Some spoilers are functionless and do not help at all. Spoilers like that I feel should just be left off of the car. If it actually creates downforce, then it helps with the stability of the car at high speeds, and I feel then it becomes necessary. I also don't think that double spoiler looks bad.

There is over use of spoilers on cars today, yes. That doesn't mean, however, that all spoilers are bad. That is the impression that I am getting from a few of the above posts.... correct me if I am wrong.

[gtmy04]

Who thinks that that spoiler will make any difference to the downward forces applied to the car? That's why I called it 'dumb' - because it does nothing either for the handling (or IMO the appearance) of the car. If that's a Subaru accessory, who believes that it has actually been tested as an aerodynamic device? Get real, it'll be sold as a cosmetic 'enhancement' - and that's fine - but why pretend it will actually improve the handling/performance of the car?

[SUBE555]

In this case it's cosmetic. The WRX STi is a different story, they basically require it on the USDM STi anyhow.

I personally don't really think it makes the Legacy look any better, but there are much worse things out there, like some of those gaudy non-OE body kits. :lol:

[axis008]

Some STi parts... all I can do is DROOL!!!

[Dr. Zevil]

Very Very nice finds! Really like that color and that front lip. Very understated!

[SUBE555]

I'm not as much about the front lip unless I'm tracking the car, I can see it's mean't a bit more for aerodynamics. The rear lip spoiler is rather tasteful if you ask me though. :)

Gotta love the STi parts bin!

I haven't seen it in person, but if one or both of the levels of it are angled, then they will help improve the downforce of the car. I am not going to say either way on its performance help or hinderance until I can see it, or until real numbers for it come out.

[gtguy]

Below speeds that will land you in prison if you are caught achieving them on public roads, spoilers are useless, but they look cool, so why not?

The hilarity that was mine at reading the STi kids talk about how essential that picnic table was, and how the car might just fly off the road if it weren't there...I still crack up just thinking about it.

At track speeds, properly designed and integrated spoilers can have value.

But this is true of so much stuff that people put on their cars, from big brake kits to wide rubber. Anything past 215, for example, you'd need to be on the track to take full advantage of. Ditto for some of the brake kits. When people start getting the brake bills for their STis, for example, you will hear the howling to the high heavens. T'aint gon' be no $50 new rotors from subaruwrxparts.com, I'll tell 'ya that much. :lol:

I have 4-pots on my WRX wagon. They are a feel mod, period. I suppose that feel as a component of more effective braking is not to be underestimated, but people who say they stop the car "a lot better" are speaking through their checkbooks.

Kevin

[evolutionmovement]

I made an airdam out of ABS plastic for a 73 HP Subaru GL and found it made a big difference in corners and on the highway over 70mph. Better crosswind stability and easy oversteer around corners - especially in the wet. I'm sure a tail spoiler something like a 250GTO would have balanced the reduction in front end lift the air dam made.

Steve

[gtmy04]

Must've been a big hill to get it over 70 mph, or did you drop it out of a plane?

[evolutionmovement]

That car would run right up to a fourth gear limited 'P' without a problem.

Steve

[cotmfk]

Below speeds that will land you in prison if you are caught achieving them on public roads, spoilers are useless, but they look cool, so why not?

And with that... I'll give up the point. :P

Kevin

215 is not a wide tire. You can utilize wide tires on the street in many situations, however, most of the legal ones are strictly safety avoidance maneuvers and the like. But if you ever really drive your car, then there can be instances where you use the wider tire to your advantage. I agree it is silly to try to max out the width of the rubber on the car. It can seriously damage the vehicle if you go too far, but there's nothing wrong with having a tire that's wide come stock on a vehicle, other than replacement prices and increased fuel consumption.

Kevin

There are definitely going to be some unhappy campers when those brakes come due. Carbotechs and DBA rotors would be my choice, but those can't be a whole ton less expensive than the regular gear.

I also agree about the feel-good mods and their performance. That's why pads and lines work well for me. Cost-effective and since my pads needed to be replaced, why not go with something a little better. :)

[ha-evolution]

But it really is stretching the point to think that an add on spoiler is going to make any discernible difference to handling on the road.

However, on the track it's a different story.

[SUBE555]

And if you track that car, it's important.

Remember, it's a race car that's just street legal. ;)

[ha-evolution]

That's exactly why I have a big wing on my Del Slo.

[SUBE555]

And Dave with the wing on the Prelude. :) At least the one on his STi is worth it although the rear view is somewhat blocked.

[ha-evolution]

The STi wing works kinda well - blocks out all the mis-aligned aftermarket HID headlights.

Haha yeah I know! :P Just like how I like the Tommy Kaira kit and you don't! But props to him on getting BBS's. I know he thinks it looks nice since he got them.

[cotmfk]

I wonder if there are any pictures out there of the Legacy engine bay without that plastic cladding. :?:

From that same website as those other Scubes:

http://www9.ocn.ne.jp/~legacygt/img026.jpg

[ha-evolution]

I can see why they stuck that plastic piece on the engine.

[SUBE555]

I'd be happy without it as long as the IC ducting was done right. Easier for maintainence and it's not like you're constantly staring under your hood.

[axis008]

The big plastic-looking thing in front of the intercooler I'm guessing is the intake manifold, right? If not, what would you call it? And do they have it in a metal form aftermarket? I don't like how it looks.

[cotmfk]

I can see why they stuck that plastic piece on the engine.


I see it on a lot of "upmarket" cars nowadays. I think that Subaru might be putting it on there to help with that transition.

It also may help with keeping the warm engine air away from the intercooler. I am not sure if it works that way, but if it does, it would help make the intercooler more efficient! :)

[SUBE555]

That's what I've heard them say about that with keeping the heat away, only problem, the intercooler resides below that with the turbo. *shrug*

[Mines]

i think the only good thing about hood-mounted intercoolers are... on weekend trackdays, you can put a bag filled with ice on top of the intercooler, after the car starts to heat up... and your HP will go up -_- I saw a car magazine do it to the sti, to get better 1/4 mile times.

[SUBE555]

I've seen many people do it, I just see TMIC's better in general if you aren't doing heavy duty racing. Shorter piping- less lag, heat soak shouldn't be a problem if you're generally moving, more cost effective, stuff like that. ;)

[Dr. Zevil]

Yeah, lag is a big issue with FMIC. but the TMIC won't produce the staggering HP numbers that I FMIC can.

[SUBE555]

The question is how much power are you planning on making. Above the levels which a TMIC ceases to be reliable, you're probably going to be wanting new internals and a new drivetrain for reliability anyhow. *shrug*

[evolutionmovement]

I think they should goback to an AWIC.

Steve

[ha-evolution]

I think they should goback to an AWIC.

Steve

I'll bite - what's AWIC?

[SUBE555]

Air to Water Intercooler. ;) The 1st Gen BC/BF Legacy turbo models used that intercooling system.

[ha-evolution]

Air to Water Intercooler.

Doh, I knew that. Just looked kinda strange. My budy had a prototype AWIC on his WRX. Interesting is all I can say.

[SUBE555]

That's okay, not as strange as the idea I saw on another forum, someone wanted to mount 2 stock TMIC's like an FMIC on a REX to save on cost. Talk about inefficient!

[cotmfk]

Air to Water Intercooler. ;) The 1st Gen BC/BF Legacy turbo models used that intercooling system.

Now, what is the reason they stopped with the AWIC? Inefficient vs either a TMIC or a FMIC? Or less reliable? Cost prohibitive?

[ha-evolution]

My guess is cost and complexity.

[SUBE555]

IIRC, AWIC's work a little more effectively, but remember, you basically have an extra radiator, tubing, and a box (not exactly sure how it's designed) within which your intake charge flows through a chiller unit. Now think about removing that radiator-like setup and tubing, and just have a modificed chiller unit, A.K.A. top-mount air-air intercooler.

So therefore, I'd imagine it's mostly about cost.

[cotmfk]

All that extra stuff also takes weight. A side benefit must have been reduced weight!

[evolutionmovement]

There are good resons for both. An air/air only works when there's cooling air going through it and is more dependent on ambient conditions. It is a lot lighter. An air/water system is more adaptable over time (easier to upgrade as you go - add coolant tank and heat exchanger size) and is more consistent. They are also more complex and expensive to fit, size, and instal. However, they have the capability to cool more than an air/air which in a perfect world would still only cool to ambient air temp (unless for short bursts with a less efficient and small top mount by dumping ice on top as was mentioned). The air/water can be filled with ice also, or even supercooled by the A/C as Ford has done with the Lightning which can give a burst of extra cold water which can be rechilled after another several minutes. The AWIC in a Subaru also is mounted closer to the intake for less lag than a front mount air/air would have. Its also better for the sleeper mode as the heat exchanger can be put almost anywhere (no hood scoop required or big obvious front mount, although I know the scoop sells).

I'm not saying either is necessarily better, just different - something like a race track or drag racing where weight is a concern or where you are only running for short amounts of time, an appropriate air/air system may be better. But for the new Legacy, I think the AWIC would be a better overall system for everyday consistent driveability. It's what I'm eventually putting in my 90 wagon.

I think you meant 9.8 KM/L, then it's about 23 MPG, if it's an average reading, it sure improve a bit over WRX's 19/26.

I think he meant L/KM... as a joke! WOT=Wide Open Throttle for those who might not know. At full acceleration, the fuel economy can't be good!

[GTB Limited]

You can actually watch the gauge move at WOT.


Mark

[ha-evolution]

Does the fuel computer have current and average fuel economy modes?

The car looks sweet btw. Not sure about the gold wheels though.

[axis008]

Looks good! Love the Brembos, too bad there weren't far side shots with them installed. Not sure if I like how the rims stick out, but the rims do look good. I think the fuel computer will have the current and average fuel economy modes, as well as the outside temperature.

[kage]

Many people ask why Subaru uses a TMIC, and I think the single best answer is: because they can. The boxer layout affords them lots of room above the engine that an inline or V layout just doesn't give you. Subaru used to utilize that space for the spare tire on some models, but people found it too weird I think.

[axis008]

Haha I didn't know that about the spare tire. That is pretty weird.

[MSB]

Yup, it has current and average fuel consumption readings

Some damn nice stuff in this thread- I wonder if that cf lip will be available in the states.

OK. I'm curious what that is they've installed in those first 3 pics on page 8?

Yes, for the record, I'm a noob! :wink:

-Ian

[Mines]

..and those chics are wearing really high heels

Those pics are of the ground wire installation, they used to be other pics, but i guess the guy changed the links to those pics.

[goneskiian]

Aahhhh! The ground wire mod that Anthony (aka apexjapan2) always refers too.

That sounds like a worthwhile mod.

Thanks for the clarification Mines!

-Ian

[Th3Franz]

I have close to 20 feet of spare 4 AWG power wire sitting around. Once I get the GT, a home-made grounding mod might be my first mod. :D
Also, were those a bunch of capacitors mounted to an electrical bread board, acting like a "batcap"?

[SUBE555]

I agree Franz. I want to see the parts list as it will probably be one of my first mods as well. I'll just hide it a little better than some. Using grey/black wiring too. I don't like that stuff to stick out like a sore thumb.

[goneskiian]

Any instructions on how to do such a mod?

Maybe a thread in one of the technical forums needs to be started.

Thanks,
-Ian

[*Jedimaster*]

But will it actually do anything? It didn't on my WRX.

[Th3Franz]

http://www.legacysti.com/viewtopic.php?p=12431#12431
I did a write up. From what I have heard, it helps with engine smoothness and a slight performance gain. When I install my 1000 watt stereo, that is where it will make more of a difference. Good grounds are important. :D

No, I didn't do a search. Yes, I probably would have found it if I had. :oops: :lol: :lol:

[brady_bunch]

There are three gauges in the console:

http://www3.zero.ad.jp/smix555/b4_2nd_stage004001.jpg

1) What do the 3 gauges display? There is a separate boost gauge so I would guess boost is out. Oil pressure, water temp, and voltage?
2) What are the little vertical sliders in between each gauge? Lights?

The gauges look similar to the SPT triple gauge set you can get for the WRX:
http://subaru.com/microsites/spt/sptImages/H5010FE051.jpg

3) Did someone just pull that triple gauge set and custom mount it for the Legacy? If so, how did they get the blue lighting? It's sweet!

4) What did you use for the plastic trim/bezel/cover to get the blackout area around the edges of the gauges?
http://www3.zero.ad.jp/smix555/b4_2nd_stage004003.jpg

It looks like a dark/smokey, reflective/opaque kind of plastic. Very nice finish.

Thanks for your help. I'm waiting for an '05 Legacy GT Limited with Taupe interior and cannot wait to start making mods. :)

[axis008]

Whoa, that's all custom made from someone in Japan. His personal website is this: http://www3.zero.ad.jp/smix555/. Maybe he explains how he does it in his site, I'm not sure. I haven't translated it.

[brady_bunch]

Does anyone know of a way to get the Gialla mods here in the US?
I sent the folks at Gialla an email but haven't heard back from them yet.

I REALLY want to get my car setup with their Corsa mods from http://www.gialla.co.jp/gialla/catalog/corsa/200401legacyb4.html

[Mines]

U can get it directly from japan if Gialla has US distributors.

If Gialla doesn't, u have to go though distribitors such as bulletproofautomotive.com

[brady_bunch]

Having never ordered anything from Japan, are there any issues with Gialla just UPS-ing to my address in Texas directly? Must they have a US distributor for me to receive it? The last thing I want to do is order something for my car in violation of some Federal trade law. I have enough trouble with local law enforcement about my car. :D

And just out of curiosity... why bulletproof?

[PPower]

brady_bunch, You will also need front and rear bumper beams and possibly more support pieces to get those Gialla pieces to work. Aside from that, the Gialla lip attaches to the JDM bumper which would also have to be ordered. You'd be better off waiting for a decent USDM aftermarket lip/bumper cover.

[axis008]

Maybe he's going for the JDM look? Haha.

[brady_bunch]

Axis... you laugh but I am seriously interested in what all would be involved in getting a JDM front end setup in my Legacy. I think that flatter nose on the JDMs rocks.

Ppower, I thought the frame of the front end was mostly identical between JDM and USDM with additional styrofoam/padding to meet US crash test standards. That additional padding required the "jutting jaw" plastic cover (the part that is painted and we see as the external part of the lower front end). Is that not the case? If anyone has pics or specs that show different, please let me know. I was seriously hoping to get the JDM look going on my car without any major (i.e. cutting, welding, or rebuilding) effort other than taking off the lower nose and putting on a new one.

Take a look at this pic:

[brady_bunch]

I thought the piece below the red line was removable and replaceable with a JDM part (or in my case, the Gialla Corso part) by simply unbolting it and removing the styrofoam behind it and replacing it with JDM parts? Not so?

Most of the cars I have looked at were all similar and simple in this regard. Please let me know if the Legacy is not.

[Mines]

I'm also interested in getting the JDM spec. B bumper and ect. so i can attach the Zerosports Front lip and side lips, but i think the US legacy might have a bigger support beam up front.

I will have to just wait until my Legacy GT comes in early July.

[brady_bunch]

Hey, Mines,
Stay in touch and let me know what you find out!

[Drift Monkey]

The Gialla mods are just add-on lips as PPower said. You'll need the JDM bumpers front and rear to make them work.

...and stay away from that setup, I want it. :D

[axis008]

Hey brady_bunch, I was at the site where the guy had those three gauges. Those aren't performance related. I translated his site to English and found out that they are actually from a computer. The gauges are sound meters and the sliders are actually to control the fan speeds in his computer. Haha. Oh, and I'm not making fun of you for going JDM. I think the Spec. B bumper looks awesome. I'm not a fan of the Gialla bumpers though. It does make it look aggressive and it doesn't look bad. I just don't like add-on lips. Unless it's like the STI lip where it doesn't cover up anything. Drool.....

[brady_bunch]

OK... here's a list of stuff that it appears I would need to do in order to get the "Gialla" look:

JDM front bumper
JDM sport grille
Gialla front spoiler (lower lip)
Gialla side skirts
Gialla spats
Gialla trunk lip (vs wing)
Gialla rear spoiler (lower lip)

Most of the Gialla mods seem bolt-/snap-/clip-on. I figure the bumpers would be a bit more work.

What about this grille? http://subaru.com.au/explore/liberty/accessorydetail.asp?item=23235&accessory=18737

Other notes/ suggestions?

Drift Monkey, what's different about the JDM version of the rear bumper? I noticed the front bumper differences right away. Maybe I haven't seen enough photos to notice the differences between the rear bumpers.

[SUBE555]

Would have to get a better overall view with that grille.

I like the current one and really don't find a reason to change it at this point thus far.

[Mines]

http://www.legacysti.com/files/legacy03.jpg

Brady_bunch, note that the sideskirts u want are from the 2.0GT not the spect B.

Im debating over the zerosport with the spec b kit and the gialla with the GT kit. I have a while to decide, since my car's comin in july.

[brady_bunch]

Brady_bunch, note that the sideskirts u want are from the 2.0GT not the spect B.

Are you saying those are the Subaru JDM side skirts for the GT...not aftermarket? Sweet!

Is that a JDM model in your photo? Looks like that's the grill I want. Is it possible to remove the Subaru emblem?

[Mines]

My bad, i meant the front and back air dams are JDM GT with Gialla lips.

That Grill is the grill u want. If u dont want the emblem, i suggest u go with the Gialla grill, even thought it says Gialla in the corner, itz very discrete.

[Drift Monkey]

Mines is correct. The Gialla car has JDM GT bumpers, not Spec B bumpers.

Maybe they'll be cheaper?


Oh, and the USDM bumpers are bigger/longer, front AND rear, I beleive, hence the need for front and rear bumer swaps. The sides should be the same however.

[brady_bunch]

Anybody know of good contacts for JDM parts in the US? :D

[apexjapan]

[brady_bunch]

[Th3Franz]

Wow! :o

[SUBE555]

Sort of reminds me of the prowess of the Skyline GTR series a bit. If Subaru had a very potent version of the EZ30 that was strong enough to support even 2/3 of that of the RB26DETT and 2JZGTE 3.0L inline sixes, the Skyline would have some competition, and at a fraction of the cost (even if half still a bargain.) It has the lookability. :cool:

[axis008]

OMG THAT IS SWEET!!

[Mines]

That is awsome, what kit is that?

THis is gonna malke my decision harder!!!

[apexjapan]

I don't think it's even on the market yet (it was one of those kinds of photo shoots...). I'll check my notes, but I believe it was a Hippo Sleek body kit. More shots later when I've got time to edit. (ssssommmebody has a new cameeraaaaa!!!).

Cheers,

[Drift Monkey]

Wow, those are some good looking Legacys! The aftermarket is obviously strong over in Japan, which gives us more options (not to mention tougher descions :P).

[brady_bunch]

I don't think it's even on the market yet (it was one of those kinds of photo shoots...).

Hmmm... I checked The Hippo Sleek site and nothing was up for the sedan although they did have a nice package for the wagon:
http://www.hipposleek.co.jp/

If you want to translate the site, try Babelfish:
http://babel.altavista.com/translate.dyn

The translations are literal so the English comes out a little odd sometimes but it will give you the general idea.

Separate issue:
Has anyone ever used http://www.subarureview.com before? Is it reliable? I looked at the site but it didn't seem to have many details. It had a lot of different parts and reviews... I guess I like the interaction available on boards like these more! :wink:

[Rapid Roo]

wow. that black one is awesome !!

[apexjapan]

Well, that was what I was hinting at - it's not on the market yet. Magazines have a 3 month printing schedule - what was taken on that day won't appear in print for next three months. Some other shots I have show that portions of the kit were not fully finished, or fully painted.

Wow, nice finds guys! Keep 'em coming!!!

[SUBE555]

There is definitely some interesting stuff out there. The works design looks to go alright with the Legacy, although I'm anti-chrome. :lol: I'm also looking into the PFF7's shown below it, too bad no overall view with them (though I'd be looking at their silver-ish color.)

[axis008]

I don't care about not having HID's but wow those HID's are beautiful. And I really like the grille on the Hippo Sleek. That Panasonic screen is nice too. If you didn't notice.. on the wagon, the license plate is angled. They have this mod where after a certain speed, the license plate will angle all the way parallel to the road so it won't be shown. Pretty neat and probably super illegal here. Haha.

If that body kit was availible for the Legacy GT Limited (sedan) - I would be all over it. I think it looks really good, then again I love Audi. :D

- Mike

is it just me, or are the fender flares on this car from the outback? is is a dropped outback, or a flared legacy?

(not that there is much of a difference, other than which way takes more parts swapping.)

[gt_ltd]

man this is one mean-looking wagon!! :evil: the chrome rims are gay however.

what kinda of HIDs are these :?:

[axis008]

No need to call anything gay gt_ltd. Let's be mature about it :). Those HID's do look nice too. I wonder what K they're at.

[gt_ltd]

axis008, you just love those rims, don't you?

[axis008]

Personally I think they are nice in gunmetal or bronze. I don't like it in chrome either but I wouldn't call them gay for the sake of someone getting offended by that term.

I like those. In bronze.

Oh and the HID looks to be probably 6000k-8000k. *rice* :P

Those exhaust components look nice. :D I'd like to keep the stock mufflers probably and just get the downpipe and midpipe back.

[PPower]

I would love to see if there becomes a way to put Outback flares onto a Legacy but you would need new bumpers since part of the flare is integrated there.

[GTRob]

Better get used to it. It's the latest trend in Japan, all performance wheels now are being offered in Metal Coat or Black Metal Coat (black chrome).

any pics?

Here's my favorite black-chrome wheels, which I would put on a legacy, if I could afford it. Forged (CH is cast, but RE version is forged), strong, light, and as true as the sun rising in the east.

BBS CH in plasma
http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/bbs/swap/bbs_ch_plasma_ci3_l.jpg

I'd be interested in what people think about which of these would look best on the Legacy GT... but unfortunately, I think only the RGR will fit.

[Th3Franz]

Once I have the cash, I'd be all over those RGRs. It'd look similar to the Legacy with the wheels at the top of the forum ^. The satin silver, gold, or black with polished lip would all look great on my red GT, for sure. I might need to do some chopping.. :D

[agctr]

Yes that would look fantastic Franz but for me, I would be going for the BBS CH, I have really liked them since they first made there debut on the Ferrari F360. I have also seen them on Audi TT's and a lot of Merc AMG's. They look great and will out the guards fantastically.

I love the mesh, hate the border on the grille. Maybe it's trivial, but I would love a mesh grille that is made to appear "frameless" and set back into the opening a bit. Perhaps with some creative contouring of the grille mesh...

Guages look good, but would prefer the DEFI BF setup, as they are nicer looking, and match the dash guages. At least we know 3 guages can fit in there.

About the strut bar- Considering how close that is to the firewall, does it actually produce any stiffening effect? I suppose some, but the struts seem pretty close to the firewall anyway, and if needed, why not just triangulate them with the top of the firewall? It certainly is good looking, though.

the radiator plate looks good, should be easy, but will it effect the intake? the body seam from the hood to the grille is a small area to be gathering intake air. Not a fan of the "snorkel" anyway. Maybe a cold air duct into the airbox from behind the lower bumper would work better, anyway. Or a FMIC, and "ram-air" through the hood scoop instead... JK! :D

The front bumperskirt looks tacked on, and not much more than added weight. Pass on that one.
