New whip... SOLD the GTI

[RJS5689]

As many of you may know, I was selling the GTI for a Legacy Spec.B. Anyways, picked her up yesterday and am having a BLAST with it. Handles like a dream, I do however miss the gobs of torque down low from my stage 2 GTI... that will all change though once I chip the Spec.B. Anyways, here are some crappy cell phone pics i took at night. I'll get better ones up tomorrow!

Subaru and Legacy badges have been removed and Spec.B left on.

Ive used almost 3/4 a tank in 1 day, but put over 200 miles on it. Its not horrible, but its not the MPG the GTI gets.

Why did you decide to do the change?

Exactly! I go to college in Maine now, and was really craving AWD.

2.5 Turbo, same engine as in the STi except with a different turbocharger. Puts out 250HP, also uses the exact same 6MT as the STi and uses the Bilstein suspension from the STi.

Just a thought? LOL, nah the Subi us really impressive and I love it. Decided to sell the car as is with mods. A kid about 30 min from me bought it. He has a MK IV VR Turbo so he knows his dubs pretty well. At least my old car has a good home haha!

Congrats on the SpecB, very nice.

My first changes would be:

Megan C/O - best suspension for the LGT. Stock Bilsteins suck. Too much roll and dive. Too soft. Too floaty on the highway. Too high aesthetically.
Megan 3" catback with quad tips - stock is a little congested and sounds crap. The Megan sounds great and quads look awesome. Plus 10-15hp extra.
Kartboy sts - stock 6spd sucks.

And down the road maybe...

PDX Tuning turbo upgrade = 333whp/328wtq on pump gas!! :thumbsup:

So it's a disguised STi :biggrin:
