im soooo jealous of the lsd and the final drive. really im jealous of the whole build but mainly the trans stuff. its looking real good. also not to nit pick put tallest final drive gear in any f trans is 4.062 which puts a 4.64 being a 14.2% increase in torque multiplication across all gears. that coupled with the LSD should drop what ever your current 1/4 mile time would be by about .3-.4 of a sec which is pretty drastic.

I've driven it maybe 15 miles max all together. It's currently in the body shop right now getting the kit fitted and body prepped for paint. I'm debating pulling it out to install the new tranny, esp traction bar, and other small odds and ends, but I haven't decided if I want to upgrade to a clutch masters fx100 stage 1 clutch or not.
I just want to get it to a certain level and just enjoy it. Not a race car, not a daily driver, just a joy ride. Anyway I have a few more pictures to share of parts waiting to be installed and what not:

I like it, though I'm still regreting not buying a subaru.
But it is definitely a sweet little ride, and it's my first real vtec
other than the wifes old ivtec accord
I'll drive it for awhile and probably sell it for more than what I paid for it lol.
Good choice on keeping the same color. It's always easier that way..

I've always loved the subtle look of the legacy gt and the hidden performance it offers, but I prefer Evo's to STI's so I could never see myself getting one. Great potential though.
I snuck a peek at your MRT and I like what you've done so far. Any performance upgrades planned?
Yeah, I didn't plan on doing a wire tuck and pulling the motor so I figured if I can't repaint the bay might as well keep it the same color. I like consistency.

I do want to make the Lude faster, but I'm enjoying it stock for now
I kind of want to save my extra car money for future. I might even sink some money into my legacy. I kind of want to track it maybe

Ended up getting my exhaust installed, RS*R Magic GT Sports muffler, I have seen other Preludes with the Ex-Mag style but not this one. I absolutely love it, quiet at idle and a nice clean aggressive tone at WOT.

It's actually kinda funny because the steering wheel is MOMO brand made in Italy, but the box it was packaged in said Mugen authentic goods made in Japan....
Go figure :tounge2:
