gr4v3r Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I was waiting to show my new car until I fixed everything I wanted but I can't wait any longer. A month ago I bought my dream car, a 3rd Gen Legacy with an STI swap. The swap was done at ECS with a full engine and drive train and I am the second owner (I take no credit for the love that went into creating this car but I intend to show it tons more). After buying the car I threw on my roof rack, plastidipped the winter wheels black (he had a bright blue), and cleaned up the headlights. This is how the car sits today. http://i.imgur.com/WQI9p.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vGhEU.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mizwN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5jDha.jpg Hopefully after she gets a real detailing I can give her a proper photo shoot.

gr4v3r Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks! He told me around 250 WHP since he lowered the boost for a longer commute but no charts. I will be getting a protune ASAP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr4v3r Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Money and dream car My first car was a 3rd gen legacy and I always said when I was older and had the money I would get an STI swapped 3rd gen. Turns out I got lucky and found it. The 4th gen was amazing but my fiance got a new jetta which is our daily driver so I felt something a little more "Projecty" was possible.

I remember when they released the 4th gen and I liked the way my car looked so much more but was jealous of the turbo. On the other friend my one friend would always tell me how much better the new 4th gen looked compared top my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixspeedlegacy Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Congrats on the purchase! What I spent over a year doing you got for no work and way less money, you are smart. I don't get why he removed the RSK front bumper, but I think it looks sick on there. Is ABS still non-functional I assume? Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben There is a big chip in the paint on the RSK bumper so I think that is why he removed it. I am going to fix that and put it back on as soon as the cars registration and maintenance issues are fixed. (I just moved and the car needs new rotors and pads) I am not sure about the ABS but the DCCD is working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
