Default Subaru Legacy with a slight difference!!

I quite like this idea to be fair...... the sound would not be far off a Scooby.

And the question at the bottom is very typical of questions on Tardme! I mean who gives a fuck...

Yeah the older Legacy is very cool, unfortunately the boy racers out here ruin them by making them rear wheel drive so they can be "drifters"

Every silly young boy out here has a Subaru so they are very un-desireable to me now.

Around 3-4k NZD mate.

Pretty cheap for the fun:

I have seen RS Sti, RA etc etc, not really sure on all the specs I am afraid, search that site.

if i sold my escort cos i would be tempted to get a proper legacy rs ra,how much in dollars into gbp is 4k nzd barry ??

i reckon shipping would be about a grand ish going by how much it was a few years ago when i had the prices from the biggest importer of second hand cars from jp in the uk.

paulo thats stunning and that was like mine only mine was on the front cover of autoexpress

my car was roadtested and was timed to 60 and to 100 and was quicker than subaru claimed. it was a great car and what started me out on subarus.
i not long ago got shut of my impreza and it was a mint car with some nice mods but fook me they are common,a legacy rs ra is what floats my boat now

Karl - I will pay shipping for the Escort, you pay for the Legacy and we can do a straight swap

$4000NZD is around 1500GBP just now. If you need any help in it if you do it then email me.

Thanks I bought it as a standard car and modified it over a few months. It was the Jtuner magazine car of the month at the Legacy thrash (in the snow) at Bruntingthorpe and practical performance car used it for their buying guide

There aren't many models that would tempt me back to Subaru but a series 1 RS is one of them. I nearly converted mine to a series 1 and I should have done it.

^^ iirc thats mcraes british championship winning car.
me and me mate followed the car around that year,i even once talked to the geezer who owned it after he bought it from prodrive back in 93.
He has had loads of prodrive cars and that particular one was his first,also used to have prodrive spanner for him on poxy single venues but when your a multi multi millionaire with more money than you know what to do with you call up prodrive and spend iirc 150 thousand on it. he used to polish it in service on rallys
