TommyH Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) About a year ago i bought this this -91 mpfi 5spd d/r Leone for 40€ ( about 51usd). Unfortunately i found out that engine wont fit my Legacy, so... Hatch? Pick-up? nah... too big overhangs 2" lift, 6lug conversion and 33" at's for winter and 225/75-15 baldies for summer (I'm trying to find better tires) Long travel (stock) suspension Found some practical use for subbie... Some short clips... Allmost forgot... (edit: Fixed the last video link) Edited September 9, 2010 by TommyH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daredevil1166 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I think the muffler is the best part. Looks like a ton of fun to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) I like it.Is there anything that you can move to the rear by the hatch to help with it nosing in when you jump it? Edited September 9, 2010 by Uberoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott in Bellingham Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Very nice I like the mods, got a better aproach angle, what radiator are you usein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyH Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) I'm glad that you like it. monstaru: I'm from Finland. That car is just my daily driver. Opel Omega, German cop car replica uberoo: Cooling system is maby the only thing that can be moved back for now. I'm going to install a Suzuki Sj410 t-case with 3" lift and try to move front and back subframe forward 4-8 inches and engine couple of inches back. That should move the center of gravity. Also rollcage and bigger gas tank (25L -> 75L) will help. Scott in Bellingham: At earliel pictures its a stock subaru radiator. Latest radiator is from Vw Golf mk2 1,3C with radiator cap fitting from Yamaha Exciter 2 (snowmobile) Has anyone done t-case install with 3" lift? Project pics would help. I'm wondering about front diff and engine placement... Edited September 14, 2010 by TommyH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 t case lifts are normally done with 6-10" lifts because otherwise ground clearance would be sucky.unless you cut out the floor.there still wouldn't be alot of clearance under the front diff though.

TommyH Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Time to update front suspension. I'm trying to fit Lecacy hubs and shocks (2wd BACK shocks). Here is Ej18 2wd front(lower in picture) and back shocks. Back shocks seem to have 2" more travel than front at 8,8" of travel Planning to run on 12" wide 27" ATV tires with redrilled rims. Only 10" wide 25"'s in picture. Made some 5*100 -> 6*139,7 adapters Lots of clearance Btw. Does the 2wd inner joints fit ea tranny? or do i have to fabricate custom shafts....

lesstutrey Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 that's a great! I was wondering what the fairlead was doing by the wheel until i watched the video. Is the camber on the left wheel off, or is that an optical illusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyH Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hmm... It might not be an optical illusion Stock front suspension dosn't seem to be able to handle Motocross track jumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberoo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I recommend hood pins so you hood doesn't fly up and smash whats left of your windshield. with no window you could just wear ski goggles though... Awesome video through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyH Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I recommend hood pins so you hood doesn't fly up and smash whats left of your windshield. with no window you could just wear ski goggles though... Awesome video through! Hood didn't leave a mark on the windshield. Fortunately hood is so flimsy with that hole in the middle There is rubber hood straps trying to keep hood closed. Next time i might remember to hook them properly ...btw the windshield is a nice accessory driving around at -25 degrees Celsius (-13 degrees Fahrenheit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
