Subaru Legacy Turbo Saloon 4x4 (same engine/box/drivetrain etc as impreza turbo).
Very late registered, April 1996 N-reg (rare) but is still the classic shape ie 1994 type.
UK model, not an import.
Silver
Bodywork excellent throughout, all panels straight - dent/scratch free.
Interior is unmarked, as new.
Milage 82000
Tax til end Oct this year.
Mot til February next year.
Service History til 60000miles, then all work done myself. Mobil 1 Motorsport 15w50 Oil and genuine subaru oil filter used, changed every 3000miles max.
Gearbox:
Close ratio short geared box.
Low geared diffs (4.1:1)
Quickshift. (Cost £60)
Gearbox and Diffs done about 25000miles total now. (Cost £600).
Clutch:
AP Organic, smooth as standard clutch, but with 450 Lb/Ft rating. Fitted about 6000miles ago with new genuine subaru release bearing. (Cost £450).
Engine:
EJ20 Turbo.
Closed Deck Block. (worth hundreds!)
0.5mm overbore. (Rebore cost £120)
Cosworth Forged Pistons. (Cost £750)
Genuine Subaru Piston Rings. (Cost £125)
Lightened + Balanced Flywheel. (Cost £100 for work).
Fully Ported Heads. (Porting work labour worth £450 at least)
Sti v4 3-layer Steel Headgaskets. Sti Engine Gasket Kit. (Cost £250)
Genuine Subaru New Mains + Big End Bearings. (Cost £100+)
Ported Exhaust Manifolds. (Porting work labour worth £50+)
Inlet Manifold Insulator Spacers. (Cost £50)
Chargecooler.
Pipercross Induction Filter. (From WRC Focus, cost me £60). Mongoose 3" Full Decat System with 4" Tailpipe. (Cost almost £500).
Running only 1 Bar boost now with standard turbo. Really quick car, virtually no turbo lag, great power potential.
Engine done about 6000miles now since rebuild.
Standard Legacy Turbo Gold Alloys in mint condition - no marks whatsoever!
Brand New Uniroyal Tyres 205/60 x 15 (Cost £250).
Thatcham Approved Category 1 Alarm/Dual Immobilisers.
Sony headunit, with a 10 disc cd changer in the boot. (Cost £150).
Standard Electrics:
4 electric windows
Electric aerial
Electric tilt/slide sunroof - Doesnt leak unlike some!
Both mirrors are elctrically heated/adjustable.
Remote boot/fuel cap lever.
Height adjustable drivers seat.
Height adjustable steering wheel.
Momo leather steering wheel and handbrake/gearknob as standard.
I have owned this Since November 2001.
*One tappet in the r/h head is noisy on occasion, causes no harm, is just irritating knowing its there. Have no time to do anything with it*
So there you go, look at the parts costs above, not including the closed deck block value, and all the labour costs for porting work and engine rebuild, gearbox/diff swaps etc total approx £4200 spent by myself.
I am asking £3995 which i think is a good price considering the above mentioned money spent, and also the fact the car is 1996 and in excellent condition throughout.
