    My name is Sam and I just picked up a new daily. Its a 99 Legacy GT 2.5 Manual tranny. Drives like a dream for the price and mileage. Car is really stock for now. Plans for the car are mostly visual. Only things I need to fix are a bad coolant temp sensor, fix the nasty noise my antennae makes (grinding) and for some damn reason my speedo is intermittent.

    Plans:
    Tint
    Black wheels
    Debadge the rear
    Yellow laminex on fogs
    Restore headlight lenses, black out housings, 6000k Hids
    Something different with the grill
    Basic intake
    Custom header back exhaust
    New frint speakers
    Accurate water temp and oil pressure gauges, maybe volts if I have to.

    paint really needs a lot of help honestly, but the interior is in ver good shape other than the drivers seat (bolster is toast)

    Dont have any pics at this point. And I really dont want to mod for power as I have my bolt on SV1000s to toy with in the warm months.

    Welcome! Nice pickup and welcome to the board. I know there are some STI seats for sale in the For Sale forum, if he still has them. Do a search there and you might get some hits.

    nice, is it a sedan (BD) or a wagon (BK)?
    if it's a sedan, you will have holes behind the legacy badge, when you debadge the rear.

    funny, sometime my speedo doesn't work either, but I can just hit the dash, and it pops back on.
