MDMA Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just signed up. I already have a 2005 Legacy wagon. I've just bought another wagon from Japan. It's a 2007 Tuned by STI. Pearl white, 49k miles, factory standard. Should be in the UK ready to drive in January 2021! Will be a long wait. Anyway, few pictures below from the dealer in Japan. I'll update the thread when it lands as I have a few mods planned for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorqueLegend Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Very Sexy - Manual Swap Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Very Sexy - Manual Swap Time No. I specifically was after an auto. 60/40 rear bias, less understeer than a manual, more lower down torque when re-mapped than the manual and trying to find a manual in Japan now is getting really difficult anyway. 300bhp is the safe limit on the JDM ones anyway. The autos map to nearly 400ftlb of torque on 99 RON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoobyDoobyDoo Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 1) Welcome. 2)You suck (cause you can import a car like that). 3) That is one awesome wagon. That interior is sexy and I’m diggin those wheels. Looking forward to more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks to everyone for the welcome. Can't wait to get it and put my own stamp on it. Nothing major, more an OEM look/theme to it. Slightly lower, re-mapped for UK fuel and a slight boost increase, refurb the Brembos to gold (all white cars came with black Brembos), full service including all belts and ATF, new discs and pads, refurb the wheels to a darker colour and fit a new set of tyres. It's going to be a long 16 weeks until it's legally on the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Quick update. Dealer just confirmed that the car has now been moved to the docks ready for shipping on the next UK bound boat. Looking a little dirty at the moment!

MDMA Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Few more pictures from the docks. The car still has the blue factory film on the door sills and rear bumper scuff guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 My Forester STI still had the factory film on a lot of the parts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMA Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'll be having the same setup on the Legacy as the Forester STI. Gold Brembos, anthracite wheels and G-Hook discs with a fast road pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoobyDoobyDoo Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Few more pictures from the docks - Factory film still on the rear bumper trims - Thats crazy the factory film is still on there. That shift knob is also a really nice piece but the price is hard to swallow (if you don’t already have one).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been told anything upto 5 weeks due to the DVLA staff all working from home and a huge backlog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
