    Here is my ride. Please let me know what you think

    I've been looking into getting an EJ20R and an STI 6 speed transmission to drop into it, but as of now I'm almost completely bone stock. I have a cone filter and Magnaflow exhaust on it now.

    Video 2



    I have tons of pictures. The ones with the gunmetal wheels are older. I've painted gloss black since then.

    I like the sound of magnaflow mufflers. My personal car will be getting one. Nice pictures!

    I've heard a couple different mufflers on the boxer motors and I like the Magnaflow the best. It doesn't really give that rice burner sound that I hate.

    I know the videos are kind of lame. My friend decided not to video the cool stuff for whatever reason. I'm going out again next week to get some new video and pictures.

    Cool man, you rarely ever see modded legacy gt's, and manual ones at that... Nice find.

    I know I'm kind of digging up an old thread, but there is no point in me making a new one

    Here are some updated pics. The first pic is how it sits today. I've done a bit of paint, the grille, and WRX wheels

    Got any more pics of the blue lgt? I'm interested in seeing more of that outback bumper on it.

    I'm not sure if you need it, but if you do a 6mt swap I have an auto driveshaft from my legacy. I might be interested in your 5mt parts. Let me know when you do it.

    Its going to be a while before I do a swap in it. But I'll keep you in mind when I do it.

    I have pics of the blue legacy somewhere. I'll have to dig them up

    Didn't know so many bd legacies were on this site! Have you made a journal? If so I'll just check that out.

    Two of my friends have BDs as well. One of them is the blue one in my pictures....and another friend of mine has a Silver 97 GT.

    I haven't done any sort of performance mods yet next to intake and exhaust, so I'm waiting until I really start digging into it before I put up a build thread.

    Nice pics John, what are you running now that you sold the red Legacy - did you pick up the blue one in your sig from your buddy?

    Where were those dirt pics taken? I'd love to find someplace I could go do that in the wagon.

    Edit: nvm on the new car question - found your new journal. Dirt pics question still stands.
