91 SS to RSRA Spec bare shell complete restoration/build

[jamal]

I was going to say some aluminum control arms. preferably the wide-track/high caster ones.

Can I put this build on my website?

I am hoping to use a fabricated set of arms. You are welcome to use pictures etc from this thread, just please represent it as my work !

I just took a quick look at the website, Very well done. I will take a closer look soon!

That is gorgeous! I am very jealous of the rotisserie, that had to make seam welding easier.

How much are the sub frames? I am thinking those would go well with my project

[BC622B05STI]

The Legacy is almost ready for paint, I fit the doors and new fenders and hood today. The seam welding is all finished and the jack stand mounts are now all finished





We will be making the WRC style stands as pictured, the mounts welded onto the Legacy are for these stands!

I really like those jack stand mounts on the rally cars. Seems like something you should be able to buy if you wrench on your car a lot.

This week was a big one for the Legacy project, I received all the parts from New Zealand so I now have the intercooler, intercooler cooler and pump ( cooler mounts in front of radiator, all new lines for the intercooler to the cooler, then all new coils, a rear garnish with RA badge, two new Rear bumper covers from Japan, and one new front bumper cover from Japan.
Also a used intake complete with all the fuel lines and wiring loom.
I also bought a six speed trans from a Japanese spec RA with Viscous center diff and Suretrac front and rear diffs. I have already stripped and cleaned the trans and fit all the parts back on it. I also disassemed the pump
For the intercooler and will post pics of these parts soon, the intercooler and intake and pump and cooler were all used, the price these as new parts are extremely expensive, so I had to opt for used.
Here are pictures of some of the new parts, the front bumpers in photo shows one USDM and lower bumper in photo is JDM





Above is the new tach fitted which is the same as the RA has with 9000 RPM

New panels on the Legacy

I will post more photos soon, it has been a busy week and I have not taken as many photos as I should, however I will take some more to update this build!

[subaru_styles]

I love this!
(coming from someone that buys alot of stuff from japan)
damn i hope you have a hookup, shipping that big stuff is $$$$!!!! hence me not getting my glass yet

[Legacy777]

I really like that RA rear garnish!

[mike-tracy]

Do you have the Rs badge to go with the ra garnish? Josh is right, that is bad ass!

[BC622B05STI]

Unfortunately that badge is obselete, I am hoping to find a used one, will have to remove it which is the tricky part, the double sided tape is very good !

[BC622B05STI]

I have been making steady progress everyday, I gave the Six speed transmission a major cleanup and it looks really good now. I stripped and rebuilt the starter which came with the six speed and painted it again, I even managed to preserve and re use the decal. The intercooler pump has been re painted also and I need to get two metric o rings and it can go back together. I will try and take some pictures on Saturday of the engine bolted to the trans, It looks great.

Here are photos of the original Legacy Knuckles, I am rebuilding them and I have all factory bearings and seals for them, I will be fitting the factory calipers and plan to sell the complete front and rear of the car, with new tires and brake rotors and
Original gearbox and diff, I hope to have the complete driveline available all ready to fit

[BC622B05STI]

I spent the last two days working on my intake manifold from an RS Legacy. So after milling of the unwanted mounts and hours and hours with a grinder in hand here's what I came up with.

[cj91legss]

That manifold looks really good

A heat gun and fishing line is probably your best bet....and then put new double sided tape.

[BC622B05STI]

Here's the gearbox, I am going to mock up and check all the fit of parts so there is still the engine build yet to be done

[cj91legss]

I want those stands

[BC622B05STI]

I Know I have posted other pictures of the prodrive Group A Legacy and the engine bay but here it is again, this is what I wanted my intake to look like, I did decide I wanted a little less of a polished look and this is my manifold which still has the air control passage as the McRae legacy in Rothmans colors did

[CFK]

Im Not really Sure what to say This is some next Level Sh!t

Love the cleanliness and attention to detail !!! Absolutely Inspiring

[BC622B05STI]

Mocking up the engine to check layout of lines etc

[guesswho]

Unbelievable, your attention to detail that is. I was going to try an go this route with my legacy at one point but the shell I have isn't really worth doing it with so i'm just building the car with alot of Prodrive parts and such. Even if I did try to build one at this point theres no way i'd be on par with this one.

Do you have any threads online of other cars you've built in the past for yourself?

This one is not Subaru related, it's about a Ferrari F1 engine we were building at work

Those are my main ones as well as the Legacy but these other threads are relatively small in comparison. My 05 STI was a popular build though
Here it is also on NASIOC
