    Little back history. List of cars Ive owned:
    1993 Honda Accord 5spd-Slammed into an overpass pillar
    [​IMG]
    1991 Ford F150 Auto-after 2 years the engine blew
    [​IMG]
    1987 Honda Accord 5spd- 2nd syncro died
    [​IMG]
    1998 Nissan 200sx-hated it
    No pictures

    Then came the purchase of the 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback 5spd.

    Then the modding started to happen. Then this happened.

    After about being stumped for 2 weeks I found THIS!:

    ECU was fried, and it cost me about 500 to get it back on the road with all the damage I did.

    I then took a new direction with my car. I didnt want to take it off road anymore, so I lowered it on 04 STi struts with ProDrive P1 springs. JDM Projector Headlights and grill.

    Then the original engine cracked a main bearing, so :

    With all that power back, it was time to put a new exhaust on to get that rumble, so I put on an ERZ cat back. I have a set of Ebay Borla replica headers on it too.

    Then it was time to get all that power to the ground with some new shoes!

    They have already seen gravel, and its a huge difference not scraping everywhere!
