Skahttay's 05 LGT Build Thread

**skahttay** · 12-09-2011

So here it is finally...haven't had much time to put this together.

I bought this 2005 Legacy GT in March 2010 (BONE STOCK) other than the blue painted calipers...from what i hear, they add 50+HP!! So they are blue for now...lol

I didn't have huge plans for the car, just a few basic things to make it "mine".

Items that were on the Agenda:

Wheels (Enkei FN-18 Wrapped in BFG G-Force Rubber)
Sway Bars (Whiteline)
Chrome Delete (Headlights, Grille)
Debadge Trunk
Tint Windows (5% & 20%)

As of today, i've completed this list. Money has been tight, so the build has come to a halt, I've decided to upgrade the suspension completely, corner balanced, etc. Also, to go stage 2.

After I owned this car for a year, March of 2011 was not good to me, On my way to go snowboarding for the day, my turbo started whining & all of a sudden it went sour. No more turbo spool, no more pull, just a slow ride...so immediately after this happened, we hustled to Subaru, where THANK GOD I had purchased the extended warranty, the dealership had my car for almost a month & they rebuilt my motor & gave me a brandy new VF40.

Current Stats are: 56K on the body, 5k on the motor & Turbo! :P as of OCT 2011

Thank You! They really are underrated. I live in CT & everyone & their mother drive WRX's...The Legacy guys tend to not get the same "subie wave" as the rest, but thats alright. Even now, No one knows what this thing is when I pull up to a stoplight, even though its a 2005. Through my tinted windows I see people gawking trying to figure out where they went wrong. lol
