98 Legacy w/ EJ205 swap

After wrecking my 04 WRX with only 45k on it, I needed to reincarnate the "works" instead of wasting all the blood, sweat, and tears by letting it end there. My brother, ALL NATURAL, had this 98 Leg sitting in the pasture after it broke down, so the work began. It was a long, and at times very frustrating project, however being my first swap I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome.

I just moved here from Minot, ND after I lost my place in a bad flood there. Kind of funny, because back home the dime a dozen cars are hondas, and subaru's are still a bit of diamonds in the rough... Quite the opposite here, and an understandable one with the topography.

This car has about 1k on it since build, no major issues.

Hey,
One of my employees does the www.bigskysubaru.com website and he said there is a guy in Missoula on his forums that has a Cobb AP.
He said to try posting up there, he said the guy isn't on his forums very often.
Good luck.
