We also have all of the above hose applications in red, blue, and black (prices are lower than the above prices). I have most of those applications in Samco's limited edition "Viper Red" (which is darker than normal red but not quite maroon), and some of them in Lime Green. Viper Red is just a little more expensive than usual, and I have Lime Green radiator hoses on uber sale ($110 shipped for the set!).

No pics of white yet, but I'm sure you can image what it looks like

E-mail (crucialracing[at]gmail.com), post here, or PM if interested!

EDIT:
COLORS TO ADD!!!

Samco now has Pink, Silver, and Flame.

Silver and Pink are 15% more expensive than the regular colors, just like the White is. Flame is 25% more. For reference, the Urban Camo is supposed to be a 35% surcharge.

Flame can be ordered in any combo of two colors! This makes it special order only and it's a ~6 week wait.

Once I get a garage again, those will be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine.

So for the Legacy only the radiator hoses can be used or is there a 08- Impreza ancillary kit that would fit our cars?

**Crucial Racing** · #8: 10-31-2008, 12:53 PM

Well first off, I always warn Legacy owners that the radiator hoses are NOT technically made for the Legacy and they are not a 100% perfect fit like they are on the Impreza. They are just a bit on the short side and they WILL work, they just end up reaching about as far as they can to make it on the pipe on either end. Actually, by "they" I mean the top hose... the bottom one fits perfectly

. So while it can be done and these hoses are on tons of Legacy GT's, it's a tight fit and you'll notice that they're not quite as long as they should be if it were made for the application so I just want everybody to know that before ordering!!!

Okay as for the ancillary kit:

Samco has not released a different one for the '08 WRX. But, the current ancillary kits (both the 9 piece and 7 piece) do fit the Legacy GT. At least the vast majority of the hoses are able to be used. Even though the configurations of some things under the hood are slightly different, a lot of these little coolant hoses and I think one of the kits replaces a couple little vacuum hoses are identical or nearly identical. With some creativity, you can find a home for all of the ancillary hoses. Honestly, it takes some creativity anyway because they don't come with instructions and it's a real challenge to figure out where each of the hoses is supposed to go anyway

BTW -- Here's a [crappy cell-phone] pic of the Samco red (left) vs. the Limited Edition Viper Red color:

....and I do have the Viper Red radiator hoses in stock and, *I think*, can still get the ancillary kit(s) in that color as well in just a couple days. Same with intercooler hoses, although those would only fit if you've gone with a 02-07 Impreza-style top mount to run a standard-outlet-style Subaru bolt-on turbo...

That red would match nicely with my Garnet Red wagon!!!

**jonklein611** · #**11:** 12-02-2008, 06:44 AM

do they have one that fits the old BD / BK's ?

This is everything they make for Subarus: http://www.samcosport.com/usa/car_kits.asp?make=Subaru

There's a chance the B4 coolant hoses would fit. The bottom hose is identical on your car and the GC8 and on the current WRX/STI/LGT. The top hoses change though depending on where the inlet on the top of the radiator is. Some models have the inlet in the middle of the radiator. I believe your Legacy has it on the extreme passenger side of the radiator, right? I don't recall if you can use the same top hose regardless, and just flip it around or modify it slightly (making it shorter, if necessary) to make it work on either type of radiator. My best suggestion would be to pop your hood and confirm where the top hose connects, both on the radiator and the engine block. Check out pictures of other Subaru engine bays -- namely, GC8 WRX, current WRX, and Legacy B4 -- and see which is closest to yours or which upper hose shape looks like the most likely to fit.

That's the best I got for ya!... I will go as far as to say that I *think* the upper hose is basically a mirror image on your car and the current WRX. Basically, it's flopped over so the curve goes to the passenger side, or you can flip it and the curve goes towards the middle of the radiator. In my mind they look pretty similar, but I wouldn't bet your $ on it without being more sure than that

**jonklein611** · #**13:** 12-03-2008, 07:37 AM

That's my top hose. Bottom hose is on opposite side on the bottom.

**Crucial Racing** · #**14:** 12-03-2008, 01:34 PM

Yeah. I still don't know what would fit your car correctly though

... Samco doesn't make a kit specifically for it.

My feeling is that you can make a current WRX hose kit work, but I really can't be sure and can't guarantee it. I put a WRX engine in my '98 Legacy and used the OEM hose w/ the stock Legacy radiator. I then put a GC8 Koyo radiator in the car and continued using the same hose by flipping it around to meet up with the center inlet. I really don't know if that means you can use a WRX hose or not though...

Maybe you can find an OEM WRX hose from somebody who swapped out for Samco ones. I can ask a few customers who just ordered Samco radiator hoses for their cars if I can forward their contact info to you so you could get the upper hose from them. Since it's basically trash, I'm sure you could get one for shipping cost and no more. But then you could try, with little $ invested, to make sure you can get a WRX hose to fit...

**JSaladino** · #**15:** 07-27-2009, 07:49 AM

do you still have these hoses in stock? if so, can i get a shipping quote for the 9 piece ancillary hose and the radiator hose kit to 37363? thanks
