Hello all!

Name: Stephen
Ride: 2008 Legacy GT 2.5GT 5spd
Location: Virginia, USA
Mod: Suspension, E85 and supporting mods
Plans: More suspension, set the car up for autocross, and finish my degree to afford those plans :lol:
Occupation: Engineering Student
Year of birth: 1984
Interest: Autocross, working in the garage on weekends
Previous Rides: 91 Integra

Again, hello everyone. I've come across this site a few times in the past while doing research and admiring the cars we don't get here in the states. After coming across a reference on a facebook group, I figured that I'd join, sit back, and learn some more.

Welcome aboard! Looks lean and clean. I presume you're tuned for the E85? What else is on the cards?

Interesting left-hand-drive mod you got going there. :lol:
I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...

Yes sir, and thank you. I haven't done anything major with it. I don't plan on trying to achieve massive numbers as I'm not trying to focus on top end and more towards response and drivability. She doesn't have the stock turbo, but rather a BNR-16G for now, and everything is typical for supporting bolt ons. Fuel pump, injectors, EBCS, TMIC, TBE, etc. She drives well, but I'm still looking for a little bit more response on the lower end. Equal length headers, switching to a ball bearing turbo, and an EWG are all on my radar. I've still got plenty to research and learn before I do anything certain.

Haha, the left hand drive mod isn't so bad. The nut behind the steering wheel, that's what needs the work. :lol:
