project daily status: 1997 legacy gt

[The Cheat]

yeah, it's a subaru. it also has awd, lots of torque, and it's a decent ride. here's the pics from the ebay ad, i'm sure the po won't mind; he's a cool dude, and we share a lot of common interests.

in the past few weeks, i've replaced the fender, lower control arm, tie rod, spindle...basically anything to do with that left front. yeah, that tire is hitting the inner wheelwell in those pics.

it's coming home tomorrow, then i guess i could get some pics of the legacy and the audi project as they both stand.

so here's a quick rundown:

-1997 legacy gt sedan
-ej25d dohc boxer4, 165hp, 162tq
-5mt close-ratio, 4.06fd
-symmetrical awd

i still need to bend an exhaust for it, and then it's brakes and tires time.

well, here's a couple pics. yes, it's real, yes, that's my driveway, and no, it's not all the same color.

runs good, drives good, still needs brakes and an oil change.

Is this going to be your winter/daily thrasher?

What are the things in the back seat?

What does the front look like? *edit- saw thumbnails later

[The Cheat]

well, in the back seat/trunk, there's...

--3 fenders (the subaru, an olds intrigue fender, and one off the a90)

--2 midpipes (one off the scirocco, one off the subie)

--the audi's old trunk

--an oldsmobile intrigue door

--2 totes of misc. audi 90 parts

--$12 worth of beer bottles

man, does this thing haul ass (literally and figuratively)! i can do some serious scrappin' with it.

i've almost done this a few times, would be a handy thing to have. guy i knew was going to GIVE me his legacy wagon, it was the older model, i think it was a 92 or so. it was automatic though, even free i couldn't do it.

auto or stick, it's a subaru, so at least it'll be reliable.

oh, i just noticed...gold coast in the house! ex-fc'er here too (d-block).

top speed: 106mph (limited).

boo, my mom can run faster than that.

time for the cobb accessport i suppose, that's an unacceptable number, i hit that in 3rd in the audi.
