Is that a 2005 Legacy Wagon Garnet Red Pearl in the background?

HA. Yeah, it sure is. GT Wagon with a manual trans at that.

She is my daily for now. I am likely going to get a truck soon and turn the Legacy into a bit more of a toy. The engine has 150K miles on it and I would like to build a new one for her and shoot for around 400 to the wheels.

400hp at the wheels on the Subaru engine is 3/4 of the price for your LS swap in the Camaro. Reason why I sold my STi. Got fed up with everything.

Subarus are certainly a challenge to get that kind of power out of... However, I do have some connections in that area though. So we shall see. I really enjoy driving the car, so I'd like to stick with it.

I had a chance to pick up my inner fenders after they were undercoated and painted. Also was able to get my parts back from the anodizing shop on Friday. This meant getting all of the accessories installed and mounting up the inner fenders and core support.

Ran into some issues with the power steering pump. That will have to wait until I get some spacers machined. I wasn't running the car with an accessory on the top drivers side before and therefore had no belt interference. Now that the alternator is going to be there, I need to move the ps pump further down. Luckily it looks like my KRC bracket can just be flipped and all will be good.
