Modified Legacy Turbo Estate
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.
I am offering it at £2,200 ONO. 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.
