It was my first attempt at modifying a vehicle, and I spent a lot, considering the car was broken into twice, I had to have the doors repainted three times. The last time it was broken into, I had the door locks welded over.
When I started, I went for the show (looks), then I realised if I wanted to hang with the bigger boys, I needed to improve the handling. Great tyres alone wouldn't do it.
I have a black Legacy GT in auto, and I miss my wagon. 5spd, 2.0L, it went fast and looked good too. So easy to keep clean...

Thanks Rob! What's funny is I posted the wagon on RS25.com and pretty much everyone there hated the wheels.Originally Posted by blackgtbeauty

Correctomundo! I didn't want a WRX (at the time purchasing a same-year WRX or STi would have been $20k, and I got my wagon for $10k) - because of reliability, higher gas prices and insurance worries.
Plus, I liked the linear response of the EJ20. Very predictable and easy to hold on the edge of grip.
I've gotten a lot of "is that a sleeper?!?" comments from the JDMified WRX crowd.
I had planned on stuffing the EZ30R into the engine bay, and matching it with a Type R gearset (short ratios and 1st version DCCD), and using it to haul around the autox course.

I've always wondered.. why does america get all the shitty watered down cars. Seems like the japanese cars are way better than ours with all the extra cool parts they get, and options. Yet we get the most stripped down, basic cars.
trust me,america is not the worst...
in israel most of the cars like civic,impreza corolla and etc. have 1.6 liters engines and the base impreza is not even AWD but a FWD...
98' Subaru Legacy Outback
89' Toyota Supra
^ Yea i guess, but they dont brag about having the 'best of everything' and have a 'were the best' type of attitude. I mean, COME ON.. america spends the most $ on useless crap we dont need, and yet we STILL dont get the cool cars!
you know whats even worse?
a new impreza 1.5 liter manual will be 116,300 New Israeli Shekels,in USD its 27,759.88$
and a 3.0R outback is more then 66,000$
so its basicly shit car for wrx money...
the good thing in america is the gas prices,honestly,for me 92 canadian cents/liter is not a bad price...
just think about the prices in europe

There's two reasons behind that:
1. Market
2. Emissions
The reason the Legacy turbo was dropped after 1994 was because of OBDII and new emissions standards that were much more strict. Subaru couldn't get their emissions down to a reasonable level until GM bought a share of them, and they got access to cheaper catalytic converters so they could make catted downpipes, bringing us to the 2002 WRX.
Now I still think we're pretty watered down, but Subaru has really established themselves as a performance company, and while we enthusiasts disagree with their moves frequently, we're not the main market they cater to. Naturally Aspirated Outbacks are still the top US seller (and moneymaker) not LGTs or STis. The STi is nothing to sneeze at either.
People always say that...but you have to realize that Europe's public transit system is the best in the world (mmm, maybe Japan) and they rely a lot less on automobiles. Autos are more like a luxury fun item for most Europeans.Originally Posted by outbackmike
I really wish the US would develop public transportation though. It would save us a lot of hassle in the long run.

On a recent trip back home, I managed to snap a couple more pics of the wagon...it still looks amazingly good despite it being close to 10 years old.
My dad recently replaced the rubber, and ended up getting the Goodyear Eagle F1s again...costing nearly NZ$200 a piece. He's changing out for Toyo Proxes 4 on 205/55/16 rubber later this year when they wear out.

I dug up some pics of the interior...
It really needs an interior update, but the best mod I did was fit a 320mm dia. steering wheel. Turning is so smooth and sharp in this car because of that.
Interior is ghey, but I do have the dual range 5mt.
Note: No ABS, no SRS. Car didn't have electric windows either but I installed those.
