thanks for looking...

 

Very nice
I like the tail of the Legacy sedan more than wagon.. but wagon is more practical. I bet you really wish they will sell the B4 here.

 

at the end of summer we will be in the market for a car for my wife and that car is in the list. But remember the other thread you posted: NO WAY in the Legacy Thought an STI

 

my legacy will walk a stock STi

 

cool! i got the 06' wagon. Subaru Indiana did such a great job on this car.

 

^sometimes I wish I got a wagon...

 

we will definetly get a wagon, i really like the looks of the new generation STWs, they are not as ugly as they were in the past, and keep in mind the legendary S2s, RS4s and RS6s

 

kool

 

Sweet car, my brother has the same wheels on his '02 WRB wrx, that walks Sti's.

 

I dig the look of the legacy, one of the few good looking cars in the market right now. Unfortunately, I think they positioned it incorrectly. They need to position it against accord and camrys.

[EDIT] By the way, your link is broken or my firefox is broken.

 

You need a Spec B!

 

thanks for the comments guys. if you drove the legacy you'd love the power, but you'd laugh at the handling. especially compared to the mini.

 

^^ really? cause my wagon handles pretty good...more of a lux car feel, not sharp but super smooth and precise.

 

Thats why you need an aluminum suspension armed, bilstein damped Spec B

 

^^nah...I'm waiting until I get out of this rental (house) and then I'm going with some coilovers. I have a cusco RSB which helped tremendously and an STi front strut bar...and the 18s helped too I suppose...but stock, the car drives like a malibu...

 

My wife's car is a 99 Outback SUS. Great car, 66k miles, still the original tires. I've done nothing to it but brakes and oil changes, and the timing belt at 60k.
LivN...the only complaint she has with it is that the normally aspirated 2.5 is a little underpowered. How big a deal is it to add some horses?

 

^^ the 175hp 2.5L NA on our legacy feels under powered when you get
on it, but for the commute you don't need that much power... plus, it
runs on regular gas and better milage than turbo 2.5L's...so, i think
(and a lot of people have agreed with me) the NA is still a better choice
if it's for your daily commute.

now if it was your sole car to do the commuting and weekend fun, then
i'd get the turbo for sure.

 

yep...probably not too much in the US market for the 99 OB as far as "power mods" (without turbo conversion or motor swap)...unforunately. you can probably order some eng/exhst mods online from Japan though...if you want to spend or have the money that is...

 

Not looking to spend a huge amount. It's her daily driver, and we'd like to keep it as bulletproof as it's been up till now.
After I got a 15% pulley on my MCS, she wanted to know if there was anything similar (or at least similar dollars and similar outcome) we could do to give SUSie a little more go.
I figured a turbo was my main option and half-heartedly looked at them. I think somewhere around $2500-3000 was what I was seeing. Does that sound about right?

 

yep, 2-3k should do, but I think you could do a motor swap for near that amount and have a block that's built to be turboed...

 

Yeah. On an 8k car. I think we'll just leave it as is. Unless someone has a turbo motor lying around they don't need?

 

could always go custom 2.5-3" exhaust/muffler, cold air intake, pulleys (if applicable), etc...

 

I don't even know where to look for aftermarket Subie bits. Pulley? The only pulley is for the water pump and alternator!

 

you can start here and check out all the vendors.

Worldone is also a subie parts vendor (vendor at NAM).
i bought some stuff from them for my old WRX. great
team they got.

 

i meant lightened or underdrive crank pulley and there may underdrive accessory pullies, not sure....but yeah, better off leaving it as is probably.
