shwagon Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have just recently gotten this car so far I love it it's great on the road.... An off the road haha I plan on putting some time into this car and making it into something I can truly be proud of, if you guys have any ideas of what I should do first I'd love to hear them thanks! http://i.imgur.com/fMe6Dex.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zBnhG3I.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4N1QDmp.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyo1990 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 That's looking good man. My question would be to you, what's your intended use of the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shwagon Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm pretty sure I want to have it low but not like stupidly low I want it to handle well on the roads, the whole offroad thing was like a one time deal I think I'm going to do throttle body spacer and cold air intake within the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo73 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Low can be done with some sti struts and springs i believe. I have a set and that's my next mod. I figure if i need more i will get the pink lowering springs. Whiteline has a fair amount of stuff still available. I appreciate my updated bugeye seats and navigation system. Anything's possible with a big enough check. Remember subaru's are like legos, lots of newer oem parts fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Nice wagon! I'm a first gen fan. Is it auto or manual? If it's an auto a fun thing to do is the "Power" mode mod. You ground a pin from the tcu and add a switch which allows access to more aggressive shifting maps. It makes a huge difference and made my SS super quick off the line. Upgrading the 14" wheels makes our old leggys look nice. I found some cheap '02 WRX wheels for $60, painted them, and wrapped them in nice tires. For lowering I have a set of H&Rs w/KYB-GR2s w/saggy butt spacers. I'm waiting for it to warm up to install them. Not too much of a drop with that setup, about 2". The stock airbox is the best way to go from what I have heard on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyo1990 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 You are right, lower but not stupid low. Do a hybrid (thanks to research I found). Someone posted in a section about the hybrid intake. Liking the plans though I still wanna take mine off road or drifting before I throw I a new differential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shwagon Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks guys i plan on lowering it in a few months I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemingway Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just a suggestion, I would spend some time (if you haven't already done so) on the basic maintenance stuff first: spark plugs, wire set, coil, all filters/fluids, brakes and exhaust. You may discover something that requires more attention and money. At a minimum, it'll get you feeling better about modding once you know you have a strong foundation on which to grow. Here is an excellent run down from broknindarkagain that can get you thinking: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3506949&postcount=3 Good luck and nice work so far.

shwagon Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thank you I just did plugs and wires and I have an exhaust on the way actually and I deff want to do an msd coil pack and a cold air intake but I've heard maybe a cold air intake isn't the best idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyo1990 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Do a hybrid, this is based off searching and testimony from people. As well glad yu got a good base done. I am about to do plugs and wires today, and possibly a coil. I am curious. What ignition parts are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo73 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I have bugeye wrx seats in my first gen and they seem to lineup pretty well. I didn't install them but i have removed one and put it back in, seems to slide right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
