1998 Subaru Legacy Outback STi Swap , Built Engine

1998 Subaru Legacy Description

I am selling my custom built 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback with a STi swapped engine,transmission and differential. It is still running the 5x100 bolt pattern with a set of Rays GramLight 57Extreme wheels with Michelin SuperSport tires with less than 1000 miles on them both. The interior has the STi seats front and rear, rears were modified at an upholstery shop to allow for the flip and lay flat to work properly. The instrument cluster and climate control back lighting has been converted to blue led to match the Alpine head unit and the Auto Meter Cobalt gauges. All of the suspension has been upgraded to Whiteline sway bars,bushings and strut tower brace. The only bushings not changed are the rear diff and rear cradle mounts, I had fears of increasing too much vibration to the chassis. I had a set of rear cradle lock bolts made as none are commercial available for this model. The engine is a fresh build, with approximately 200 miles since installation. It has a mild break in tune and will need to be finished to maximize and smooth out the drive ability. This has been a project of mine for the past few years, and it has come time to move on as I no longer have the time to work on it like I did. I am making every effort to accurately list all of the modifications, parts and enhancements that were made. Below is the list, I tried to break it down into sections and I have a folder full the receipts for the build to this point.

The handling on this car is incredible and still has a good ride that doesn't beat you up.
The paint is in good condition considering its age, the hood has rock chips and there is a small rust spot in the RR quarter panel. There is a small bubble in the right front fender that has been there since I've owned the car and hasn't moved.
