2014 3.6r LegacyWagon!! Aspen white. 6 months project!!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I want to share with you the project I am working on. I have been doing bodywork for about 10 years now and I enjoy it a lot.

 

The goal was to have the 2014 legacy wagon, so I bought from Cali, a totaled 3.6r outback limited.

 

The plan is to remove ALL the outback specific components to replace with leg gt. And do the complete color change while at it.

Also fit suspension components for leg gt. Bilstein shocks and tanabe springs, and adjustble lcas.

 

I bought the car in august 2016. I had the frame work done and I do everything else.

The blue sti was sold 2 months ago. This wagon will replace it.

 

I had welded shut the 50 holes in the lower doors from plastic cladding...

The final product should look like this:

It's got every option possible from the dealer. The previous owner took everything. Nice. 2 subs with harman kardon hu!

At the frame

 

 

The rear bumper was a challenge. The jdm version is narrower so the arches don't fit at all. I had to cut section from the outback bumper to weld it in place. I hate cutting an expensive bumper like that!! Took me a lot of time to get ready for paint.

Cool. Please decide to do a STI 6mt swap in to it. ;)

 

 

 

Haha . No way. I want the 6 now. I almost bought a bmw 5 series wagon and this was my final choice. I have been with 2 wrx and one sti for the past 12 years so it's time for a little change.

Any plan to put some boost in it? There's a 3.6R in the 5th gen forums that's running a supercharger.

 

 

 

Yeah I saw the videos! I wonder how well the auto trans will hold up for this guy... I broke my sti engine twice adding boost safely... so I don't think it will happen this time.

Also, it's gonna be a family car. I have 2 kids that play many many sports...

I sold my sti mainly because we wanted an auto now. I drive a lot in traffic for work. Would be fun with a manual I agree. But it seems that you can't turn off completely the traction control anyways on these cars. I will talk about it with my tuner.

This is awesome! I subscribed to this thread. I wanna see where this goes. I would keep the auto trans and just get an indirect transmission tune. It'll be a huge headache trying to do a manual swap and I love my auto as it is. They're meant to hold up to a lot more power than these make stock. Edited by Timothy.B

Nice!! Good to know that!! Yeah Im keeping the auto for sure. I had a similar 2003 wagon, also painted white that I swapped manual. Was not that bad but was not worth it. A car like that is a longer wheelbase and therefore way less agile than my old 2 doors gc turbo.

My plan is maybe a cold air intake, fabricate flanged muffler delete pipes and have it tuned.

 

Bought my clearcoat gallon yesterday. Ppg Deltron 4010. I had amazing results with this in the past. Also real expensive.

 

Yesterday I drilled the roof gutters to fit the impreza hidden attachements for roof racks. After researches I ordered Thule wingbar edge with fit kit for euro wagon. The thing bolted real nice!! What a relief.

Excellent! I wouldn't even bother with the cold air intake. Just an AEM aftermarket filter. You should consider doing header back exhaust but it'll get pricey.

 

A wingbar would look awesome. I never even thought of that.

 

I would update the rear sway bar to a 20mm or even a 22mm (adjustable or non-adjustable). There's also a steering lockdown kit that helps with some of that lack of feel in the steering.

 

You're lucky because they updated a few things steering and suspension related on the 2013-14. Lastly, That front end is gonna look siiiick.

Many thanks for the kind words!! Yes maybe just a filter will do it. Im just gonna do the muffler delete as Im gonna fabricate it so it's not expensive.

 

I need to keep funds for my 190e mercedes 1993 resto-mod 16v wanna-be.
