Hey Guys,

Mitchell here from Queenstown, New Zealand, just stopping by to say Hi. Reuben put me onto SL I as he's active.

I currently own 3x Subaru's.

1988 Subaru Leone GTX (NZ New)
1991 Subaru Legacy GT BC5-C (JDM)
1997 Subaru Legacy GTB BG5-B (JDM)

A few photos of the fleet

The Leone:
1988 GTX 1.8 EA82, 3speed Auto FWD (for now), Electric windows, central locking, power steering and trip computer. I did have the digital dash, but needs repair.

My JDM 1991 BC5 Rev C, was a GT now has a manual gearbox, VF8 and RS ECU. So basically a GT trim RS. Other than that, it's almost finished. Just needs a bit of paint work.

And finally my 1997 Legacy GT-B BG5-C from Japan. Needs a head gasket replaced but it bone stock. Very nice car, has about 149,000 KMS on it. Going to keep it stock as they are hard to find.

And that's about it.

The BC is mostly finished. I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible. The BG just needs a set of head gaskets and a VF18 replaced. And for the leone, well I have a plan for that. I have asked some questions so we will see what comes out of that!

Cheers

Hey Mitchell, welcome to the forums!

Your Subies are looking good - the GT-B is clean! Don't see many Leones any more. I'm sure your local Reuben will be a great source of info and parts; Plus the Devil's Staircase is a great testing ground.

I'm based in Invercargill but travel regularly to Qtown; would be good to get together some time with you guys - just hit me up if you're keen.

Cheers :)

Jamie
