ProjectPechkin's 2005 Legacy GT BUILD LOG! **PICS**

[GAM3OVR 5,000+ posts]

Dude, nice effing work on the Subie. Can't wait to see her resurrected.
For those who care, I was the previous owner of this particular '05 GT. My roommate was kind enough one evening to cram it up the *** of a Land Cruiser at 35 mph (he was borrowing it at the time) resulting in a hospital stay for him and a busted car for me.

My '09 WRX is pretty good therapy to help get over the loss, but it would be absolutely awesome to see my old car back on the road. Good luck and keep us updated!

Brian

Thanks Brian

I can't wait either. I sold my 77 Lincoln and my 00 RS and now have no car //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Thanks for signing up, this thing will be beautiful very soon

Quick update: I'm going to the shop right now to snap pics. Lots of them coming tonight. Stay put, and check back in a few

SWEEET! im not gonna lie this is one of the things that bring me back to ca.com every day now. I love seeing these transformations after doing very similar work to my truck. I was wondering last night after u said rebuilt back to stock what the project HP numbers were for this?

Well I'm taking it to stage 2 (320 HP+)

Once I get a good $4,000 in the future I'll go to stage 3 (400HP +) with a front mount Intercooler, PERRIN Engine Management, and a bigger turbo. Of course rods and cranks and new brake system will be installed.

If that's not enough stage 4 (500HP). But who knows, that gets pricey......

very nice. i assume anything u have to replace now will be replaced with things what will work with stage 3. In my experience its always better to do that then have to upgrade new parts later on. r those hp numbers at the wheels? i assume this suby is no different then the rest in that it is AWD?

As far as the price goes, it really depends on how much the car costs us to fix.

Some cars have less damage and some have more.

If you wanna know roughly call my dad @ 303 366 1278 (Mike)

He can help answer any questions you might have about getting one
