AK_GT's 2005 Legacy GT LTD Wagon Build
Following suit with a lot of the other AKIC guys, I figured I'd start a build thread for my car.
Bought the car last September down in Anchorage, bone stock minus a gutted up pipe, some aftermarket (cheap) wheels, and a couple of aestetic bits: About 2k miles after getting it (roughly 51k on the odo) I let my girlfriend drive the car while hers was in the shop. She was new to driving a manual, and roasted the clutch. Knew it was coming, just hoping it wouldn't have been that early! Stage 3 Competition Clutch: While the car was down, I figured I'd throw some gauges in it too to monitor the boost and Oil Pressure: No pics of this, but I felt the need for some more power, so I bought a shorty FLOW downpipe, and bought a used Accessport V1 and went stage 2. Recent Future plans are to upgrade front and rear sway's, Swift wagon drop springs, koni yellow struts, new projector retro with bi-xenons. Overall, I would like this car to see 350 whp, and still be relatively reliable. That should make me happy... for a while

Nice gauge mounting. Very stealthy.

SLOWLY, I'm gonna be broke after building my 30'x36' garage this summer...
Sleeper look is perfect for my style Wheels are Riax Monza, 17x7. Wrapped with BFG G Force KDW's. Not a bad grippy summer setup, but I want to step up to 18x8 or 8.5s. |

Nice gauge mounting, did you DIY or go with the Cosapolis (SP?) Pod? (I went latter for cubby + Gauge)
BTW, nice wagon. I've seen it a few times down here and know the old owner, well taken care of IIRC. |

No one makes a molded one piece for the first generation Cummins rigs, so I'm going to make a mold for them I think. Off topic lol. The previous owner ("Speter") was a great guy and super easy to deal with when I bought the car. I was trying to work a deal to sell the LGT that Kiwi previously owned, so I could buy the wagon, and the deal fell through but I bought the wagon anyways. Now bhinak has my old car. I have ALL the receipts for anything the original owner did with the car. |
