Connor's '05 LGT Wagon

Feels like normal.

better

Madison Sports Car Club had a dyno night at Kelly Moss Motorsports tonight. Strapped the LGT down and managed to do 225/275. I was expecting a higher horsepower number and lower torque, so I guess I'll be okay with the difference.

Awesome torque for sure, i would expect higher hp as well, but the difference isn't so bad. It could have been 225/225, ha.

What did that little SE r put down? I'm curious as that's a car i would love to own.

I think did 265/285 or so! Very healthy. GTiR swap with a T28 @ 18lbs.

nicest legacy wagon ive ever seen

In the last few weeks I've had the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, air filter and accessory belts replaced. Yesterday I installed a 3" turboback. (CNT Racing catted downpipe and Invidia Q300 catback). Spent something like 16 hours polishing the paint and plasti-dipped the grill and roof rails. New tires come tomorrow (225/40/18 Continental ExtremeContact DW) and will be geting an alignment. After I get back from Pikes Peak I'll be hunting for a set of STi brembos for it.

I'll try and get some pictures up soon.

My friend Keaton getting the timing belt/water pump/t-stat/accessory belts done.



Old decrepit foam filter replaced with a nice K&N filter.



Roof rails and grill plasti-dipped.  Came out much better than expected, I've never used the stuff before.  Need to get some touch up paint for the hood to hold me over til I get the front end repainted.





New exhaust going on.  Was very painless and all the bolts broke free easily, for being an 8 year old car with 125k on it the underside is in surprisingly good shape!







Everything bolted up perfectly and didn't need adjusting.  It almost went TOO smoothly!




Hopefully will have a reflash done before the week is up to be safe.

I'm jealous. I broke just about every bolt on my 2-year-old STI that had 30k miles lol. the quad tips look sweet.

Thats what confuses me, this car started in MI, came to WI, then IN, then back to WI.  It should have rust!  I'm glad it doesn't though.

Looks good man. Needs more 20g!

Gonna do 18G next year, don't think I'd like the extra lag of the 20G...  I don't want to do more than mid 300HP.

sweet, plan on running 93 or e85?

91 and E85, with all the traveling I do I'd rather not have to rely on finding 93

Are you driving to Pike's peak? The lady and I are road tripping down there for the race on the 26th.

Yup, I'll be leaving this Sunday and staying through raceday.

We're staying until the 5th

Seafoamed the wagon yesterday before I changed the oil.  Figured after 125k miles it could use it.



Bled the brakes too and couldn't find my usual bleeder line, so I had to improvise with some heat shrink tubing and a small rubber hose.



New tires came yesterday (225-40-18 Continental Extreme Contact DW) so I went into Zimbrick Nissan and got them mounted and balanced.




Now I am finally completely caught up on any and all maintenance.  Now I can focus more on the unnecessary stuff.

Continuing with my current fixation on my car, today I cleaned it up and took the first nice pictures of it.  Been meaning to for a while.

Looks great man!  Wouldn't change a thing about it.

Awesome Wagon man!  I Agree, I wouldnt change a thing about it!

I've been debating putting the front lip back on it..
