Spec b doesn't have more power then the regular GTs, but just way better suspension (among a few other things).

UPDATE:

Okay, I just did the first round of my changes before the start of the 07 auto-x season. Replaced the swift springs with Tein Flex. Added Agency Power Stainless Steel Brakelines, Perrin front Sway Bar, and some wider Enkei wheels.










When I first put on the new wheels, they rubbed like a little bastard on everything. So, one day after having the Teins installed, I got under the car to raise them up some. Now everything rides great. The plans for the next few weeks is to do a full exhaust (all that's left is UP and DP) and a stage 2 tune. Hopefully all done before the first event of the season.

Paul@DBTuned did the work for me on this latest iteration of my mods. Yay for Paul!

like the darker rims a little bit better, but the red on white is pretty nice too.
love how the Legacy is looking, keep it up.

I'll most likely stay with the darker rims for the street. These new wheels are auto-x only.

Plus, I had a Perrin Up Pipe and Cobb Down Pipe. I upgraded to the Access Port Stage 2 map, and I have to say I like my 19psi of boost at Sea Level. Too bad I live at 4000 and only get 17.5psi up here

I still need to get a dyno sheet one of these days to know exactly what I'm putting out. But, from what I've heard it'll be about 230hp - 240hp at the wheels.

I'll try to get some. Unfortunately, I'm usually in the car when its time to take the pics

But, there is a semi-pro photographer coming out to our autocrosses now. Hopefully I'll have some good action shots soon.

Yeah, I guess its pretty nice to know my car is still faster than I am.

I think that means I'm not going to scurry to find a replacement auto-x car just yet.

Small mod, but I upgraded my **** from an HKS one to a true JDM Kartboy Delrin Shiftknob.
