Here's my old Spec B GT WR Ltd Leggy MY05. It was a awesome car.

Very pokey with the Twin Scroll Turbo and Bilsteins. Fantastic cruiser with the ability to pick up it's heels and go like **** and scare the be-jesus out of some serious german metal. Easily get 30+ mpg on a long cruise. It just revved and revved. But, no flat four burble due to the equal length headers . It can be mapped to over 330 bhp. Big interior, reclining rear seats, electric drivers seat and folding mirrors and mine had the Red Sweep dials as per the Impreza STi's.

The panel filter are the same as the new Impreza's. Much of the running gear is easily uprateble with most Ipreza parts. The front brakes are slider calipers as per the new fugly WRX Impreza.

The ICE was the OE Jap with a band expander and was a pain, no RDS, it's an intergral fit to the facsia and you either get a new UK one second hand (rocking horse ****) or buy a new one from Subaru.

I fitted a OE Subaru Kit from www.japanparts.com to fit a Double Din DNX 7200 SATNAV/DVD/CD/USB etc (Subaru UK deny all knowledge). If it's the Dual Zone AC version I have a spare kit in the garage with the brackets etc. It's easy to fit.

Most panels are the same as UK models and the new Legacy Diesel as the same bonnet too!

Oh, and if its been recently imported it'll be £400 car tax.

Hope this helps

A mate of mine has one think its called a GT B it was a import.
Well I love it its probably not running exactly how it should be,its getting on a bit he says its got 280 BHP maybe when it was new.
Hes got a bloody big dog looks like the one from Turner and Hooch!
But the car is great, massive inside but still looks very cool from the out side with nice alloys and good curves

Well, the dog is big, so I'm still looking for the legacy.It will probally be a dealer because I need to part-exchange my impreza, but do I go for the import turbo or the uk 3.0?

Not many legacy 3.0 or the later (04 onwards) turbo about, I really don't fancy having a large hairy dog in my lovely impreza!
