Did someone say Le Mans?

I've organised a group going this year, for my stag-do. 14 guys squeezed into:

MY99 Impreza (mine), MY01 WRX, 22B, Toyota Rav4 (sorry!).

Unless we decide my Impreza is too noisy in which case I'll take our Legacy Turbo saloon. (Karens: Dark blue with STi decals and gold MY00 wheels)

DGR Nice car mate, shame about the scratch, but at least it shows you were trying! Where abouts do you do your rallying, I wouldn't mind seeing one in action again.

It was McRae's antics in a GpA RS that had me lusting after one for years.

Paul Michael Davis

Same here mate.
You can buy a video of the 1991 BRC season, In which Mcrae drove the Rothmans Legacy RS from Duke video.
Well worth a purchase lots of footage of Mcrae's mad driving.

Paul Michael Davis

Nearly forgot Squizz, I'm taking my Legacy to Le Mans, going with my dad and uncle (Volvo).
Leaving Coventry on the Thursday. I went last year and stayed with a mate who lived only half a mile from the circuit. Luxury, brilliant food (still got soaked though)

DGRALLYING

well the next event for me will be a small event on 7th July in Essex.

Dur to the expense of getting the car put straight (£1500) i am having to miss two events, i should have been doing the Mutiny.com Stages on 1st June

UkLegacyT

Paul, you have mail mate

CrisPDuk

DGR, are you mostly down south then or do you come oop north as well

DGRALLYING

Crispduk

Most of the events that i try and get involved in are south of yorkshire, North Wales being the highest point on the map that we tend to travel.

UkLegacyT

DGRALLYING

I should hopefully be in Swansea on the 20th of July

A few years ago now, I was at a Castle Combe track day and there was a black Legacy wagon that had been rolled, covered in gaffer tape, plastic windows, and stripped out interior, HOONINGaround! He was cutting corners and chucking loads of crap onto the track. Anyone know who it was? It was going very well, but I did think at the time he was taking the **** a little....

Miki

Although I nowadays drive an Impreza, I can't miss this opportunity to show you a couple of pics on my previous car...





If interested you'll find more info on the car here

Turbo_Steve

Dimmers!
Get yourself over to ScoobySport and ask wheat they can do for you. I blew my legacy Turbo's bottom end (seems a haynes manual for an impreza does NOT list the right amount of oil for a legacy....OOPS) and they very helpfully glued a WRX bottom end on for me. Sweet.

Now I just gotta fix my little overboosting problem....either by finsing the cause of the overboost.....or enjoying the benefits of a chip.....hmmmmmmmmmm

I figure an airfilter and an exhaust and a chip should see me at 240bhp reasonably easily.

Maybe more? Anyone got any suggestions?
Anyone know where I can get a quicker steering rack? Would improve the driving experience no end.

I am also contemplating a new gearbox....what can I do...and how much folks?

HELP!

BTW! EVERYONE should fit WRX brakes and wheels...those standard brakes do NOT do the car justice.

UkLegacyT

turbo_steve, if you have a large bore exhaust from the turbo back, this is the cause of your overboost problem due to the lack of restriction causing the turbo to spin up far easier......fit a chip

Mufasa, I remember seeing that Black Legacy Wagon at Combe, It had reg plates which read Tequila Slammer on it. The driver had good car control, being well sideways in most of the bends.
When I saw it last they had cut the wagon bit of the rear end and turned it into some sort of buggy, with no overhang of bodywork over the front or rear wheels.

Legacyman200

Hi,
I am satisfied I am not the only one to have of to adapt my exhaust Devil 2X108 cm. I have to lengthen(stretch out) the him(it) of 10 cms it(he) is normally for Impreza...

In Switzerland(Swiss) it is a problem to modify its car, the laws are top strict but have succed there all all the same

Please, still have you photos of this Legacy's model(BF) so that I can again fill(perform) my web site?

Thank you
Bye

just a couple of new pictures to take us back to the top







kev

UkLegacyT

they're nice piccies mate, im gonna spray my wheels an anthracite or black so that they go better with my silver car

is the engine modded at all mate?

ian

flat4

3" straight through system (needs downpipe), HKS powerflow filter with custom induction (see above pics ), Dawes running at 14.5 psi - upto fuel cut + other v. minor things


kev

UkLegacyT

nice one mate
get the downpipe, you'll see a great improvement.....you'll also see the fuel cut too

cheers

flat4

any way of nudging the fuel cut up a few psi? i'm guessing it's got some way of telling how much boost i'm running


kev

UkLegacyT

well mine is 'chipped'
however, you can get a fuel cut lifter from jamie at www.performanceexhausts.com
that does the trick, only costs about £30 too.

and yes, the car does know how much boost you are running...map sensor tells it

god knows where my fuel cut has gone, running 1.4bar (smudge over 20 psi) and still dont hit the thing

cheers

ian

flat4

i'm guessing your turbo's quite new or a hybrid, i don't think mine would thank me for 20psi (147k on original turbo )

UkLegacyT

standard turbo mate

getting a TD05 next week, so not too bothered

cars done 69K, inspected turbo when engine was out, no bearing play, and no damage to the wheels either.....so hopefully it can be used again

Squizz

Good stuff lads.

Keep 'em coming...

Shimster

Sorry to push into this "Legacy" thread, but is anyone intersted in a Thule roof rack for a '92 saloon. I've only used it three times, before a nutter wrote my car off in a carpark! The rack cost £90 new so I need reasonable offers.

I've now got a rev d GTB Legacy - a different beast altogther.

I will also put this into the For Sale section.
