JN Garage Jun Lemon Wagon Replica
Hi I am Joey aka Gigs aka JN Garage , Due to Imgur going the way of Photobucket I have redone my entire build thread here with pictures hosted on my own website so that they will forever be on the internet for your viewing pleasure and to laugh at my poor life choices !
I have owned this car since March 2013 with 105,000 miles and it was my daily driver for a few years. 2013 2020 Winter 2013 Here is my old build log from 2015 if you want more history of the car https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=2712350 I have since sold the 2006 Legacy GT and acquired a 2013 Volkswagen Touareg TDI with 59,000 miles to serve as my daily driver and occasional weekend tow vehicle. It can tow 7700 pounds so more than enough to safely tow a Bugeye. Did I mention it also makes 406 lbs of torque and gets 30+ MPG on the highway ? Its pretty glorious and comfortable , I plan on replacing it with a 2016 model whenever it starts to get a little older somewhere around 2023-2024. It also has a powertrain warranty to 2023 or 100,000 miles whatever comes first , Thanks EPA ! My Website - https://jngarage.com/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...i2Co_1nE21xi1x Instagram - @JN_Garage The goal of this wagon is the same as it always has been , go out and have fun with friends. If I happen to stumble upon a Gridlife or GTA podium one day that would be equally cool too. Its going to take years to finish and likely will never be finished with continuous improvements always being made. I want to experience FIA Grade 1 and 2 circuits with the station wagon I have owned since I was 23 in my 30s. 2003 Subaru Wrx Wagon 320WHP/330WTQ On the VF42 Exterior modifications Sedan widebody conversion Jun Bumper Retrofitted Wrx headlights Engine S204 EJ207 Stock VF42 3 Port EBCS Tomikoa Downpipe Stromung Twin tip 3 inch catback CSF Radiator Spec C Oil cooler Samco hose kit Carberry flex fuel Transmission and Driveline Group N Bushings Exedy twin plate clutch Version 7 R180 suretrac LSD Version 7 Type RA STi Transmission Ratios 3.636 2.375 1.761 1.346 1.062 0.842 Brakes and Suspension RCE 1 Way KW Superstreet Coilovers Group N and Super Pro Bushings STi Brembos Centric Blank Rotors PFC Z Compound pads Prova replica brake ducts 21mm Front and Rear STi RA-R Sway bars STi Pink trailing arms S204 Lateral links Wheels and Tire Mach V Awesome 17x9 +42 Continental Sport 255/40/17

So this is a rough plan for the next few years which is obviously going to change but not seriously
Spring / Summer 2020 Outfit my new houses garage with tools and supplies to maintain a track car. Finish my sim rig in my new basement. Drive the car and enjoy it honing my skills as a driver , photographer and person while tying up loose ends. Fall 2020 / Winter 2020 - 2021 Goal of doing Gridlife Fall Gingerman in October 2020 once I am done with home furnishings. Possibly Look for an E46 BMW Wagon to make into a pure track car or GLTC build 2021 Continue chassis upgrades along with seat time , aiming to compete at Gridlife events at Gingerman and Mid Ohio along with a handful of other track days such as Subaru Speed Expo. Possibly a trip to Canada for CSCS as well ! SCCA Empire Hill Climb 2022 Jun or Cusco Tribute livery Super Lap Battle COTA Enthusiast Class Road Atlanta ? Road America ? Upgrades Wanted for the Driver Driver Seat time Hans Device Race Suit Lose 50 pounds Upgrades Wanted for the Chassis FIA Seat and Harnesses MCS 1 Way Motorsports shocks AP Racing 355mm 6 Pot Road front brake kit PFC 08 Pads 18x9.5 +38 RPF1s SCCA Hillclimb Spec Roll bar 9 Lives Racing Rear Wing Jun or Second Prodrive Bumper with Open Track day / GTA Spec Aero Package Backup engine built around a Version 10 EJ207 Bottom End I want the ability to change from Gridlife Street to Hillclimb / GTA / Track day spec with the change of a bumper and rear hatch. The end goal is to just have fun and experience as many fun tracks in North America as possible |

Was never really sure how I felt with these cars missing the rails for roof racks, but you convinced me otherwise lol.

Gotta said Road America terrifies me too... so fast.
I feel like I really need to have my car fully sorted before I get on that track. |

Voodoo 13 Lateral Link arms
Since the world has slowed down a little bit progress has been slow
Ordered all the boots and accessory kits to rebuild the front axles who knows when they will arrive. These Voodoo 13 lateral link arms arrived from Dewey at Six Star Motorsports and they are just wonderful. Should give me a ton of adjustment and will be installed with all new hardware on the rear end ! Also gave me an excuse to start playing with the lights I bought for streaming video games and taking pictures ! If you play video games I stream Escape From Tarkov a few times a week on twitch here https://www.twitch.tv/gigs_games Enough rambling though here are some pictures of these beautiful lateral links Almost impossible to beat for under $500 https://voodoo13usa.com/shop/04-07-w...ral-link-arms/ If you want a set give Dewey or Marvin a call @ (224) 653 - 9626 |

Extremely high quality , I am making a point to utilize products and services that are all based in the USA, Japan , Australia , UK or Germany.
I really don't trust any of the Chinese / Taiwanese sourced part companies like Silvers , BC , Mishimoto , whiteline and such. |

I mean torque is fun but if I am going to chase it then the engine will have 6/8 cylinders
Progress is dismally slow due to shipping delays and life changes. I close on my house at the end of this month finally. I don't get occupancy until July so come July / August I will finish as much of the interior as I can. Progress is gonna be pretty slow as the house needs a little love in the HVAC and concrete leveling areas so that will be where a lot of money will be spent this year. Its looking like I won't see any track time until late 2021 now unfortunately |
