I'm thinking of buying a new car.
I have currently got a 1993 legacy turbo, i bought it thinking it was going to be really fast and reliable.
Sadly this wasnt the case.
I wanted an impreza to start off with but my friend talked me into the legacy(cheaper being the main reason, i could have a tester but not pay impreza money).
My mates selling his JDM wrx sa, he said make me an offer.
Its import Blue estate p-reg impreza wrx sa good condition 68,000miles, whats it worth?
Inside a part of me still wants an impreza but my legacy wasnt the greatest advert for subaru.

Isn't the SA an automatic? If you want the Impreza experience, I'd strongly recommend a manual...

That's a relief then! In that case I reckon it's worth between 6k and 7k? Might be worth checking Parkers and see if you can find it listed on there as that might give you some idea, but it's quite hard to say...

Well, perhaps if you had chosen the legacy more wisely you wouldnt feel the same way. Id say that the legacy is a better built car anyway than an impreza, and they pretty much have the same problems, and would cost the same to fix anyway.
The biggest difference, is with the cylinder heads ( which has been sorted on your car I belive ), but if you bought a car that was making such a noise that it was making the car run bad, then why did you buy it in the first place???
No matter what car you buy, if you buy a junker, you will have problems. So If you know absolutely nothing about cars, then get someone who does to check it out before you buy it.

Question

When i got the car it was running fine!
The reason I don't like the legacy is its just not quick enough, however today when playing with my friend(pug 406 V6). I was a bit quicker but sometimes my car boost to 0.9bar drops to 0.6bar(feels nice) and other times it boosts no higher than 0.5bar?(not so nice)
Anyway my mate says that he saw a flame from my pipe but still it wont keep up with my mates fiat coupe turbo or a my97, if it would i'll keep the beast. I wanted a scoobyecu.co.uk but havent been able to get hold of one.

So where now?

If you're looking at going as far as changing the car, then perhaps I can help you out with the ECU.

can i guess who has the fiat and the my97... at least your not playing with peters m5.. :d

Like I said I cant sort legacy maps so speak to paul.. of you are in that much a hurry... I did ask to sort it with him / you... but emailing direct would be better.. + impreza's are better... was yours a saloon?? and if you want to sell it then let me know a price as a friend is after one.

Yep its a saloon but i guess i dont want to sell it if you guys can make it fast.

THE M5 BOY NEEDS TEACHING! He said while looking at his 400bhp 300zx.
But ive tried that one and i can't keep the ****** in a straight line.

So Wallis crank up the scooby and teach him good.

Pavlo PLEASE drop me an e-mail, I got the cash burning my pocket.
