Legacy 2.5 GX > Holland, Europe

[LegacyGX]

Hi there,

My name is Rob, i live in Holland, Europe, and own a '98 Legacy 2.5 GX. After a long search i finaly found more Legacy-fanatics. In Holland this car is very rare, especialy the type i own. The GT version was never sold over here in Europe, the GX was the fastest en most luxurious version here available. The car's from 1998, it has an 2.5 liter engine with over 150 bhp. The wheels are those of a WRX Impreza 2005. Leather interior, alle the normal options, such as cruise control, electrical toys etc. Too bad it has an automatical transmission, but despite that, i like the car, it's a daily driver. Here are some pics:

Hi Rob,

damn man. you got two VERY nice cars there. Loving them both! I love CRX's.. and yours looks like its in GREAT condition. I'd love to get another one for myself some day.. but they are becoming VERY hard to find in good stock condition... or non rusted! Post more pics up when you get a chance in the members ride II and I forums!

[LegacyGX]

no prob. i'll post some more pics.

The CRX is now in my possesion for about 10 years, it's a unique one and in a very very good condition. I'll put some more info in that other topic i'll start soon. I bought the Legacy about 2 yrs ago, also a very nice car, easy riding, powerfull!! More topics and pics to come.... :cool:

powerful.. haha..wish we could say the same about the legacies over here in the US. They don't come with the twin turbos.. we're running N/A engines here :lol: :smt005

^ The one in the first post is N/A as well.
Still, the car looks fantastic. That was a color we never got here in the states. Those wheels look great too! Welcome to the club.

Love the car, and the color, are those stock headlight washers?

[LegacyGX]

that's correct, on this type it's a stock part. It was no option in the US i heard? Same for the skirts and bumperlips, as well as the foglights, all standard. There were sold only about 50 Legacy 2.5 GX's in Holland, it's a non turbo, that one never came to Europe, and that's too bad..... However, it still is a powerfull car looking at its weight, over 150 bhp.

Maybe a dumbass question, but what you guys mean with N/A??

:smile:

[d1giPhux]

NA = naturally-aspirated .. basically non forced induction engines (turbo, supercharger..etc).

You said powerful.. so i figured it was turbo like the twin turbo engines they get in japan and such. These engines are sort of powerful.. however... wish we got the turbo's here! :lol:

Still.. most of us drive N/A engines unless they were modified to use a turbo! Very nice cars however and yours has all the sweet factory upgrades!
