So got the car sorted after the little tip i had a few months ago, i got the front and rear bumpers resprayed, rear drivers wheel, hub and trailing arm replaced and car is right again.
Since then i added some Redline goods shift and hand brake boot and padded centre armrest. I decided to go for the carbon affect fabric to match with the bits of 3M Di-noc Carbon vinyl i have on some of the interior trim
Really freshens up the interior, i plan to get the seats retrimed in black leather/grey alacantra combo with red stitching, sometime in March.
Also got one of those digital boost gauges like Tangcla has:
Had some problem wiring it up correctly and it was showing 1.8 bar peak, all sorted now though!
And Also after reading a few threads on legacygt, i bought a cheap impreza s204 lip on ebay, slightly modified it and threw it onto my front bumper. Its not perfect fit at all but you can only notice if you get down level with it and see some small gaps. Weather has been so bad, havent cleaned car in weeks
Picked up an STI fron strut brace over Christmas to add a bit of bling to the engine bay. I got it cheap locally second hand.
I think that covers most recent modifications
January 2011 updates:
Finally found myself a new vf36 at a steal of a price. It came off a new impreza spec c, has only delivery mileage on it. Also some ported headers and up pipe to match. Should be arriving next week
Will also be sticking in Walbro fuel pump, and keeping factory TMIC and airbox for now and see how much power i can get from them.
Only mods needed will be to rotate compressor housing to fit TMIC and replace with an adjustable actuator
Aiming for around 300whp, that should keep me happy and be a reliable enough figure for a daily driver
Car in its current form is a 2003 Legacy 2.0GT i imported from Japan. It has the standard TDo4HLA twinscroll turbo. Producing about 275hp@ fly on the last dyno check. Car is standard enough power wise. Ecutek remap, K+N panel filter, Fujitsubo cat back exhaust and some other minor mods.
Plan:
Rotated vf36 turbo to maintain use of factory TMIC
Upgraded wastegate actuator
Custom silicone elbow needed from turbo to TMIC
Vf36 twinscroll ported headers and up pipe from Litchfield Type 25 impreza
Modified turbo bracket to secure to engine mount
Milltek de-cat 3" down pipe
Uprated Walbro fuel pump
3 port boost solenoid
Ecutek remap
Aiming for about 300whp
Will update thread as work starts
