I spent WAY TOO MUCH on the sleeper wagon build! - 2005 Legacy GT

[@moe-df9qx]

You can never spend to much on something you love 🤩🤓

[@avengednick]

Haha I like the way you think!

[@alexavgeres9283]

Son you are right I should not of watched the video!

[@avengednick]

I did warn you not to watch it!

[@avengednick]

309HP/333TQ to the wheels. Could definitely get more with a larger turbo than the VF52

[@simplyharley7639]

Can't wait to get my legacy GT next month and start working on it myself :D..... Super excited, not only is it going to be my first Subaru but it's going to be MY first ever Manual car as well that is 100% mine :)

[@avengednick]

Congrats on the new car! It's a great cars to learn how to work on, I've been doing the same since picking mine up 7 years ago. It was also my first manual car.

[@KiwiGraggle]

Mate, it looks the dogs bollocks, ha ha. I have just purchased a 2007 facelift twinscroll turbo. It is all stock, so it is a true sleeper. The wheels are the 18 inch 10 spoke, so they are not as sporty looking as yours, but it is a real true sleeper. You have done well with your one. You get some that are so poorly updated, they just look chav like and eewww. Your one is really nice though. Money well spent and if it is low mileague and you maintain it, which I guess someone like you will, then you will be surprised how much you get for it when you go and sell it. Well done with the updates. I will not be updating mine like yours. I am going to have a slight re-map, put in a completely new sat nav and audio system as mine is all in Japanese due to mine being an import, oh and of course Subaru specific deep tray and dog guards for my dog. That is it. So when I get some tard in a chaved up car thinking he can just steamroller my pretty stock looking Subaru Legacy Twinscroll, then he will get a huge and rude awakening on how quick it is. Put it in Sport Sharpe mode and it is just an unbeliably quick and capable motor. Subaru, real high build quality mans car.

[@kyleb293]

The money was well worth it, gorgeous car. Nice edit! Keep up the good work!

[@avengednick]

Thanks man, I've got a few more things up my sleeve for it!

[@DJ3nz0]

You should put out the full list for owners of the legacy like yours

[@avengednick]

A full mod list?

[@alexronke1327]

@@avengednick yea!

[@FujiboHeavy]

Nice man!!! Im with you bro lol. i think i paid $12k for my LGT and put like another $13k into it! Still planning on new built block from IAG/Turbo Upgrade/5EAT IPT Race Transmission in the future. so about another $15k for a full motor/transmission build. Then eventually air suspension which is another $5k LOL. But i wouldnt have it any other way!!! Wagon is looking soooooo clean man. Keep it up!!!

[@avengednick]

The STEVEBO haha glad I’m not alone! Some might say we have a problem but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Nothing like driving a car that you built and having it perform exactly how you want it to. We have some similar parts on the to do list too.

[@FujiboHeavy]

Average Bros Media yup. The 4th gen leggy is by far my favorite tuner car of choice man. Like the styling is timeless. And it can look aggressive/classy depending on the look you want. But I'm always 100% satisfied everytime I get in and drive. Ahhhh. LGT gang rep!!!!

[@avengednick]

The STEVEBO couldn’t agree more! I really do love this cars. Wouldn’t mind a bit more aftermarket support but we’ll keep making it work. Haha

[@Stacio88]

Well worth the money bro, that's a sweet looking Legacy.

[@avengednick]

Anastacio Guerrero thanks bro!

[@misterdude206]

nice shot by gasworks! i'm in seattle too and recently got a 05 wagon limited. havent dove into it yet, and still finishing up my 180sx. But getting a bunch of BP5s in the area at some point would be cool.

[@avengednick]

Misterdude206 thank man! Great choice on cars, my other project is an S14. Tomorrow video is all the cage prep on it. But definitely, I’m trying to plan something like that. If you’re on Instagram give us a follow and shoot me a message so I can reach out when I get it planned

[@chrissetter]

I love your car and the content you produce. Keep the content rolling! I'm trying to do some work on my 2008 Outback 3.0 L.L. Bean, and your channel has been a huge inspiration. I'm trying to drop it using Legacy GT OEM Spring/Strut/Shocks, new wheels and summer tires, rear sway bar, and Nameless axlebacks with a Vibrant resonator. Unfortunately, I don't think I can do much on the engine since it's a 3.0r without doing some major fabrication. Have you heard of others working on the 3.0 engine?

[@avengednick]

Thank you, I love hearing that feedback! And nice! The LGT suspension is pretty common on the Outback platform and look great. The WRX has a nameless exhaust on it and the quality is unbelievable and the sound is heavenly! I've been debating getting one for the wagon. And I've seen a few people mod theirs, I know one guy did some pretty serious modification to a 3.0 Legacy if I am remembering correctly. I'll see if I can find the build thread on it.

[@Smalltownthrifts]

Christopher Setter A set of Raptor Headers and a Exhaust and you’d have a beast. Look up 3.0r legacy on KZbin, there’s people modding them. GT is best if you want to make the most power, but the 3.0R in stock form is good plus is reliable and sounds amazing with some exhaust work

[@Smalltownthrifts]

The ECU is tune-able, so you could get a tune once you did some bolt ons.

[@Smalltownthrifts]

Consider getting Bilstein Shocks + Some good lowering springs. I did this on my Legacy wagon and love it

[@chrissetter]

I don't think the Outback's wheel diameter will fit with Bilstein Shocks, but I heard good things about them. Maybe I can get the fenders rolled a bit :)

[@masterchief2079]

For me money is just money you need it but a car in my view that you love is priceless your car is sweet well done!!!!!!!

[@avengednick]

Haha exactly, my car provides much more happiness to me on a daily basis. But thank you, I have a bunch of sick plans in my head for it that I hope to make happen this summer.

[@masterchief2079]

Average Bros Media sounds perfect looking forward for those mods amen!!!

[@nikromamusic]

Excellent build! Totally worth it!!!!

[@avengednick]

_kromaru_ thanks man!

[@peterkinkead1046]

Well done. Think about it this way, you couldn't buy/find a new car like this with three pedals...

[@aussiecoop.5399]

Gotta say mate, i absolutely love the car 🤩 👌👍, if I can get mine half as good as yours I'd be a very happy camper.

[@avengednick]

Tony Cooper thanks man, appreciate the kind words! Just takes money and time. And a little bit of good taste. Haha

[@Smalltownthrifts]

I’ve been meaning to make a video doing this, I have Over 20k in my Legacy wagon and just stopped counting 😂 Keep up the good content! So the only difference on the Gen4 wagon rear seat is the rear upper section? I’ve swapped my daily legacy wagon to a facelift dash and black leather and I’m having a hard time finding the rear seat for a reasonable amount

[@1fffffdd]

Correct. Just the split folding portion is wagon specific

[@ryder4782]

Meanwhile we can import the 2.0 gts to Canada for like 6k now lmao.

[@avengednick]

Yeah you guys are lucky and can import cars 10 years sooner than we can

[@danielcolucci267]

I'm not surprised at all, and this is scary cuz I'm planning on doing pretty much the same stuff loll....

[@avengednick]

Yeah it's pretty close to what I was expecting it to be, but still a bit of shell shock seeing the total number. Haha

[@danielcolucci267]

Welcome to subaru aftermarket parts lol, super expensive but its all worth it in the end....hopefully hahaha

[@ryanryan9299]

i love the car bro, very nice

[@avengednick]

Thanks man!

[@KaiVael]

Love the build, would love to have that engine in my Legacy gen 4. This one is the best looking legacy in my opinion. Btw, on 7:29, are the blinker lights LED? Where did you get these?

[@avengednick]

Thanks man, love hearing that people are hyped on the build! And the blinkers are LED, they're a Diode Dynamic Switchback turn signal so they light up white with the other lights on and switch to amber when the turn signal is being used.

[@herben9255]

What name brand and where you get the front lip from? Ty

[@avengednick]

Her ben it’s an OEM Subaru part from Japan for the JDM spec b bumper.

[@beatleman88onpsn]

Hopefully I get some sort of reply. Where did you get the the front grill where the Subaru logo is? I've been looking for one just like that for my 09 legacy and can't find one anywhere. Thanks in advanced to who ever replies.

[@avengednick]

It's a JDM grill so you can’t really order them new, but email Arnold at [e-mail]. He'll get you taken care of! It will require some modification to I believe both the grill and bumper to make it work on your car.

[@aussiecoop.5399]

You can get a mesh/ carbon fiber grill on Ebay Australia which looks really nice for $227 but I think yours is better,

[@Pinyoo81]

I like your channel and the content! As a friendly advice, you might want to consider investing some dough in a new mic as well, becouse the audio is still... ... well, not great! 😁 Keep up the good work and you'll get the views and subscribers you deserve. Also I wouldn't mind watching an ad before the video if that would help you guys.

[@avengednick]

Thank you! And the mic is a quality mic, so if anything I'm guessing it's user error on my end. What issues are you having with the audio, is it still sounding blown out? We've discussed monetizing the channel but have decided to hold off for the time being given the money wouldn't be enough that we feel it warrants interrupting the viewing experience. But I appreciate you letting me know you wouldn't mind the ad! When we get to a point where we're getting enough views that the money would help provide some extra money to invest back into the channel we'll definitely consider it again.

[@Pinyoo81]

Thanks for your answer! I think a mic that you can clip on yourself could do a better job, as your voice is barely heard when you're further away.

[@avengednick]

No problem, appreciate your support! And that's a good call, I think that would help a lot for these videos where we're outside and a bit further from the camera. I'll look into it!

[@0tink9]

How do you like the swift springs? I am between swift or H&R to be paired with koni's

[@avengednick]

0tink9 I love them! I’ve had them in the car for years now and had no complaints. They dramatically improved the ride without making it too harsh.

[@0tink9]

@@avengednick thanks!! how do you find the rear does with the car loaded (passengers / stuff in trunk)? Stock squats hard fully loaded

[@avengednick]

0tink9 I have the wagon specific springs and have never had an issue. I’m not using the saggy butt spacers either.

[@0tink9]

Anthony Martinez no worries, I appreciate the feedback! It helps me make the videos better in the future. There was a decent amount of wind/road noise nearby when we filmed that was hard to avoid.

[@salh7067]

Lmfao got all that with the car when I bought it used for that same 5800 hahaha

[@avengednick]

Sal H Haha I highly doubt you purchased your car for that price with the same build list, quality of parts, spec b interior swap, and JDM front end. I’ve been active in the legacy community for 6 years or so and never seen a similar car go for that cheap.

[@salh7067]

All engine work yes... Cosmetics not.. I have pics and receipt of the purchase

[@avengednick]

Sal H well there you go, you didn’t get all of it for that price. The exterior and interior changes on the car make up a large part of the cost of the build.

[@salh7067]

True.. but I didn't pay $15k to begin with lol

[@avengednick]

Sal H that was almost 7 years ago, trust me that was the going rate for a low mileage wagon with a 5 speed and limited trim. And is yours a sedan?

honestly thats cheap af
