1994 Legacy Touring Wagon now with 100% more Meyagi

No.

I like the color

Me too.

So Mike and I were talking yesterday, and I think I'm going to leave the silver wagon automatic. For now. Although I dislike driving automatics, not swapping right away gives me time to save up for a proper box (lgt/forester/jdmbro), it also makes it so when I want to go fast, I just mash the gas. No shifting required. I think it would be kinda fun

Here's my potential mod list for the silver one, just to collect my thoughts:

ICS 8k/6k coilovers

17x8.5 Volk xd9 or enkei rfp1s(Probably powdercoated teal)

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+T%2FA+KDW+2&partnum=44YR7GFTAKDW2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

2.5 heads/maniflod

EJ20 ecu with rob tune

All bushings(from boxer4racing)

Same exhaust as the whinestone one

VF22

Ebay FMIC

Meyagi charge pipes

WRX seats?

5X100 Brembos

LGT 5 speed/ Forester 5 speed/ JDM RA 5 speed

Rust repair

Outback Sideskirts

Sti Diffuser

Headers?

Engine dress up parts: Radiator/Alternator shroud, shiny things.(Too match the wheel color)

Sways

Kartboy Endlinks

Random ebay chassis bracings

Hella 500s in the grille

BPV of some sorts

Trans cooler for the 4eat.

Can't think of much else. I want to make this car once, and then enjoy it(With the exception of a 6 speed). The power that Mike was making before was plenty fast, and reliable. I'd like to enjoy this car before I get shipped out to god knows where.

Wire the TCU for powershift mode. It made mine a lot more fun to drive. More efficient way to abuse the auto

 

[urabusturbo]

nice plan, I was contemplating installing my built motor with the auto for the break in period then seeing what sort of abuse it can handle. I have always wanted a set of rpf1's too, pretty much the perfect wheel.

 

[Stein]

+1 for the RPF1s. One of my favorite wheels.

 

[IBratmanI]

Sounds like a solid plan.

 

[2point5RS_Dan]

rpf1s with different tires. KDWs suck.

 

[Matt]

super noisy tire and dont do anything special until there really hot....

 

[GClark]

I know, I've read the reviews here: http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/tire-test-nine-affordable-summer-tires-take-on-the-michelin-ps2-comparison-tests

I'll probably end up with the Hankooks again, I was just looking for something different.

I loved the KDW2s when I had them.

Not a bad price

 

[Pedro]

I like the orange.

 

[Meyagi]

buy that

 

[GClark]

Seems like a really good deal, I'll pm him now.

Here's the old wagon:

The crash beam(?) is huge/heavy! I wanna take that off the silver one, it must me good for at least 50hp.

Just picked up some Outback side skirts from Greasemonkey. Should hide the rusts perfectly, and give it a nice clean lowered look.

Shouldn't you fix the rust? Hiding it won't make it go away...

 

[GClark]

Hide the rust repair, come on Chris

I picked up some 16x7.5 45 offset Advans yesterday. Their not the size I wanted, but I go them for a wicked good price, their "real" wheels, and their light.

According to this, I'll regain 13whp! (Rota's were 45lbs each, these are 35, weighed at the vet hospital)

These will hold me over until I can save for some rfp1's or volks.
