SUBARU LEGACY TURBO ESTATE (MODIFIED)
Time to sell my Legacy:
Subaru Legacy Turbo estate (4WD) 2.0 Litre J-Reg. Charcoal (Black).
0-60 time of 6.9s as standard should be better with mods. Closed deck engine apparently (Quite resilient).
I bought it around 2 years ago with 94,000 miles on the clock with a Full Subaru Service History.
Head Gasket went due to radiator being full of rubbish. Radiator was replaced and Head Gasket with uprated Impreza STI version.
Clutch went...replaced with Impreza STI clutch and flywheel (standard one).
Tyres were useless replaced with Goodyear Eagle F1''s on 16" Standard MY 2000 Impreza alloys (silver).
It has a sunroof but no aircon and all the window except the back one have tints.
Koni shock absorbers (Adjustable in terms of firming up NOT height nothing flash) and standard springs (NOT replaced).
PIAA headlamp and foglights (Yellow apparently better for fog) bulbs.
Blitz Boost gauge
Lambda Link.
Full stainless steel Mongoose (Decat) Exhaust.
Uprated Panel filter (Green filter).
New MAF fitted 2-3 months ago.
New Lambda (Oxygen) Sensor fitted a few weeks ago and new front and rear pads.
Iridium HKS spark plugs. Apparently better for a car running at higher boost.
Superchip - Ups the boost to a max. of 1.2 bar.
Handsfree phone kit - Professionally fitted by Carphone warehouse. Voice activated dailing for Motorola V50 (I''ll throw that in as well).
Geometry set up for handling by TSL Motorsport, Nottingham.
New wipers and arm (front and back) when I bought the car.
Clifford 600 Blackjax (Anti Hijack) Cat 1 alarm
Trackstar Protector Tracking device.
Recent Heavy duty battery.
LONG TAX AND MOT.
The car is totally undersealed professionally by Chez at Inkar Valeters of Rochdale.
The car is always allowed to warm up before drven hard and warmed down after any drive (long or short). It has never been abused or tracked.
Always used Subaru parts or better. Oil change done more often than every 3000 miles (Ask ''Robinsons'' Subaru of Rochdale how often I''m in there!). I use Millers fully synthetic 10W60. Even more often oil changes when I was on my Motor vehicle mechanic course NVQ last year!!!
Fuel always Optimax before that I used Super unleaded but I believe Optimax is better will Millers Octane Booster (Sometimes using two bottles).
I have had numerous parts changed and put right on this car. I was really enthusiastic about this car but my job situation has changed. The Insurance is stupid and I am getting sick of every joey under the sun thinking that they can have it without paying for it (I live in one of those nasty innercity areas in Manchester hence stupid insurance, no drive, no garage). Following me in my car can get on my nerves and constantly being asked if I want to sell my car for £2.50 and a bag of chips! I need to save up for a house as I rent and am getting sick of it!
The last work I had done on it was at Prosport in Stockport by Peter. The majority of the work done on the car has been done by Ken at RE Performance in Bury and Chy at Penine Subaru in Hebdon Bridge who advised me to put the car for sale at £2500. He knows the car pretty well.
So I will have to settle for something a bit more normal - Nissan Primera GT or a reasonable Toyota Avensis, as I only have £4000 maximum to spend if I get this shifted.
I am offering it at £2,400 but that is negotiable. I have receipts to prove the majority of the work. The car has never failed an MOT and apart from the initial head gasket problem it has been fine.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in a swap for a Peugeot 306 s16? It's the forerunner to the GTi-6 and a nice car( 155 brake standard and a bit more understated than your legacy.)
A friend of mine(with the 306) is looking for a Legacy and yours sounds good...
Mail me as per my profile if you're interested..

Where are you based. Innercity area like me then maybe you will have problems. I will send you some pics my friend is on the case at the moment with his digital camera. I took the pics earlier... he is getting them on his computer to e-mail them to me. If that all goes well I will probably be able to e-mail them to u today. How do I get hold of your e-mail address?
I am based in the Northwest... are u far away. If not come and have a look at the car if you want.

Franx...even if u are not interested a piece of advice for any modded car. Try Liverpool and Victoria Insurance I have heard that they aren't too bad for Insurance and mods.

Please note everyone that my car is a UK Spec single Turbocharged car not a Twin Turbo Jap Spec Import. Someone thought it was a Twin turbo...IT IS NOT.
