Goon3r Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Picked up my new Euro 3.0 Spec B Tourer yesterday, after part exchanging my 9 month old 2.5Se Tourer. All I can say is wow! that flat 6 sounds beautiful when it's wound up, the gear change is sooo sweet (unlike my old STi) and the handling is now much sharper, but surprisingly not noticibly any harder. I have taken a few quick pics for those that may be interested in Europe, not sure if you guys over the pond get this model at all?

Beanboy Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Nice looking car. Don't offer that model here, but if they did, I would have still gone with the 2.5L turbo. Gotta love 250 lbs-ft of torque from a turbo 4. What's that button opposite of the hazards? That's the location of our hazad button... -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon3r Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Thanks for the comments. :) I had 301ps/300ftlb with the STi, now looking for something less frantic. :D That's just a blue-tooth Nokia remote for the car-kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisted Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 good look bruv...now if we can get the navi and 6MT state-side....most of us would prefer the turbo 4 over the 6 unless they lapped a turbo on the 6...then we may have to reconsider.

Here's 3.0R Spec B wheels: [IMG]http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy9.JPG[/IMG] Heres ASA JH3 in Bright Satin Silver (also in plain silver and chrome) available in 17x7.5, half an inch wider than US GT wheels, or 18x8, an inch wider than the 3.0R Spec B wheels (I believe 3.0R Sb is 18x7, but I could be wrong) [IMG]http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/asa/swap/asa_jh3_bs_ci3_l.jpg[/IMG] Just needs the Subaru caps rather than the ASA caps. Besides BBS RG-Rs, I think these might be the most fitting wheels on a Legacy besides stock. Imagine that, since they are almost carbon copies of subaru factory rims... more at [URL=http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=ASA&wheelModel=JH3&wheelFinish=Bright+Satin+Sil+Paint]TireRack ASA JH3[/URL] BTW, that is a cool black wagon.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Damn man- why do we the "other" markets always get better wheels? Subaru should relaize that wheels make a car look sooo much better- If I has seen those wheels on a Subaru and not been into the brand, I'd have had to go check out what kind of car it was.

meier motor sports Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 [url]http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~swells/My%20Cars/Legacy8.JPG[/url] you can tell its right hand drive in this pic. cause look at the door ajar light. hes on the drivers side (ar at least behind the steering wheel) and the passanger light is on. omg i love everything about your car. especialy thoughs guages that read batt volts fuel econ and accel. very cool shit. i wonder if different things can be displayed up there. like oil press and tem and boost. things like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobY Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 NA engines have limited modability... Whereas the Turbo 4 can easily be made to make 400+ HP with a turbo swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
