So I've been working on my car for a while and have finally started to get into some of the more fun things recently as shes been running fairly well.

It started as a $400 car that came with a brand new clutch and radiator that weren't installed as the po was too lazy to deal with it. It took a while to start it when buying it but she ran decently enough to drive from Abbotsford to North Vancouver in one go. Since then I have replaced:

Clutch
Radiator
Headlights
Spark Plugs
Oil Filter
Plug Wires
Fuel Filter
Belts
Exhaust Gasket
Valve Cover Gasket
Battery
Distributor Cap and Rotor
Alternator

The alternator I did the Maxima swap and am running a 90amp, I've installed AUX out directly from my radio, and started to install a folding bed in the trunk with storage underneath.

Currently I've also got a 1998 Legacy in the driveway that I will be swapping the motor from. Can't wait to start!

 

Here are some pictures!

Pulling the engine up into my car port to change out the clutch and radiator.

 

Doing a dump run with it!

 

The start of a folding bed built from foam core carbon stretcher and some aluminum scored at work.

 

2" lift in the rear, need to get in the front lift soon been looking silly for a minute now.

 

A solid craigslist score of 4 15" and 5 14" Peugeot rims. Was going to sell a set but think I may just keep both in case I want a dedicated off road set in the future.

So I have an issue. In the middle of lifting my loyale and haven't been able to find a 94 or earlier legacy to steal a steering coupler from.

 

I have an outback and herd that the coupler from it would work if I was doing a 2" drop, I also herd I can use the subframe blocks from an outback to drop my engine. Will these work together or does it only drop one inch?

Took a while to add photos but finally got some up! Here is also one of the $300 donor Legacy I bought!

 

Managed to find some 15" pugs and tires put them on for a week and then realised that I need different lugs and took them off.

 

Also started taking apart my ej25. Going to have lots of time in the next two weeks to research and order parts so I'm going to decide whether or not to franken motor and if I should or shouldn't get a mild delta cam grind.

 

Probably not going to Frankenmotor.

Was also thinking about a throttle body spacer.
