The Legacy's 5 speed trans needed more room so......... Trans Tunnel was made...

This also helped with the angle of the driveline so the pitch wasn't so severe.

^^^ This is beautiful, nicely done. How'd you do the suspension for this bad boy? The front shouldn't have been to bad, but the back must have been interesting.

Thanks for all the awesome feed back. I still havent seen one like it lol, but its one of the funniest cars to drive and loving it more and more each day. I will get some motor pics and the interior.

i mocked up my ej trans last weekend and it hit on the driver's side of the trans tunnel. i'll have to widen it there. but it looks like the gas pedal is directly on the other side where i have to make the adjustments. did you swap over to the legacy pedal set?

Any updates/further pics?

 

How's it all running?

 

Cheers
