Diamond In the Rough

Hey guys I have been on here for almost a half of a year and Ive been a on and off Subaru owner Figured it was time to introduce myself and talk a little about my subaru history. Well the first subaru I owned was a 1991 Legacy Turbo all original with the 4eat automatic trans with only 122k miles on it. I actually covered this build in detail on the site bbs.legacycentral. Here is the copy of the link for any one interested in my 91 build

I actually end up selling that car to a member on here and kept in touch with him over the few months that He owned it. I actually ended up buying that car back from him plus I bought a 92 legacy turbo with a 5 speed swap done. I think we both made out well with the deal. I was able to find some great condition sti seats for the white car for a good price and dropped them in and they are fantastic.



Here is the pictures of what the car looks like currently I swapped over the 91 front clip minus the hood onto the 92. I personally like the look of the 91 better and thought it would be a nice swap



The 91 and the 92 at there new homes ready for some work to be done on them



I ended up swapping the engine from the 91 over to the 92 with the tdo4 swap since I know what shape the 91 engine was in as for the 92 I have sitting around thinking I might post it up for sale or keep it for a build in the future but if anyone is looking I'm open for offers nothing wrong with the engine was running when pulled and is covered up. Sti seats are installed into the white car they are amazing. The 91 is going to end up be parted out and scrapped. Ive grabbed most of the stuff out of the car that I wanted/needed and have alot left to swap

 

I can get down with old legacys, well done sir.

 

Welcome! I Really miss my 92 legacy sometimes, it was a fun car and nobody knew what it was

 

Oh yeah I love my 92 with the tdo4 swap and running it a 12 pounds of boost im getting close to stock wrx power levels and can keep up with my friend who has a 05 saab 92x aero with a auto so im proud of the car and cant wait for my 550 rob tune and upgrades then ill be up to stock sti power level outputs estimate of corse

 

hey DJ! very nice project you got going on here!

 

Welcome to the site.

 

That looks like my old 92, im guessing you bought it from Surly?

 

I did buy my old one and the 92 off surly fun car now that every thing is working even the speedo

 

Well I resolved most of the bugs in the subaru and have started to collect parts for my next phase of my build. Recently I picked up 2 sets of gravel tires for the legacy also in addition I picked up a set of used forester xt struts and I'm planning on installing them some time next year to give me a 2 inch lift for some more clearance for the gravel tires. I also have been collecting parts for my next performance mods and plan on upgrading to 550's/tdo5-16g or similar turbo install stage 2 clutch and cryo treat the gears in the trans to help them handle the power increase. But for now just a few thing like remote start and accessories are being added on. Once the mods are done and suspension is complete fine some wheels for the t-leg to mount the gravel tires on and join some rally races . I also picked up 4 5" 150w driving lights. Those plus my 3200k hid fogs and 4300k headlight standard bulb should make it look like day at night >

 

Yeah I know it's mixed matched right now but at some point I'm thinking of fixing the rust issues and then paint it close to navy blue/same blue as the 555 legacy wrc car
