    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!
