I am a fan of the WRX and STi look for the center grill, but I don't think that the new center grill is all that bad. It reminds me of the front nose cone that BMW Williams used at the beginning of the F1 season in 2004. Just my opinion. http://www.amobile.ru/f1/2004/presentations/img/williams1.jpg

I have never seen a turbo through the hood. I have seen blowers through the top of hoods, but never a turbo. I really like the engine, but the car looks ricey to me.

You got a great deal on that auto!! How did you or the previous owner get the engine bay so clean? I would really like to find a legacy in that kind of condition for that price.

I am sure that this question has been asked before, but what is the best Subaru to lift and take offroading? Asking for everyones opinion.

I am sure that this question has been asked before, but what is the best Soob for offroading? Just looking for everyones 2 cents.

Chech out that alternator. I know that most battery drainage problems are related to alternators. I had the same problem with an ATV of mine.

Niki Grist has a really good rally school that has produced a couple of outstanding driver in the JWRC and other forms of Rally. There are a few other good rally schools, but I haven't seen any in the US. They are pretty expensive too.

I like the idea of a lightweight flywheel. It will increase hp and torque, but make driving throug a parking lot a pain in the butt. I have also heard of a lightweight battery, but I don't know about those.

Great work in the photo shop area. The back of the car looks a little empty don't you think. It needs some roll bars like in the A/C 427 Shelby Cobra.

Next time you decide to jump, put a sand bag or two in the rear. Should prevent a nose-breaking landing.

Thanks a lot Legacy777. That was really informative, and well done. You are a huge help!

What are the disadvantages to drilled rotars, and why would you recomend neither for a street car? Thanks.

That's the way our flag should be. PEACE MAN!!

When I clean my engine, I drive the car around to get it nice and hot. I then use an Orange degreaser and a rag I don't care about any more to clean the engine. Afterwords, I use a liquid ArmorAll spray to make the engine shine. It works pretty well for me, and I have never had any problems with this method.

I work at a carwash and we wash cars with hood scoops all the time. Some of my co-workers have been known to spray a high pressure washer directly into the scoop, and we have had no complaints about any sort problems related to this.

Would you recomend drilled, slotted, or both for the brake rotars? I would think both, but don't know if there are any disadvantages to either of them. Thanks.

Is the Petter Solberg edition the same as the WR1 edition that was made to celebrate the 2003 drivers title won by Petter. Here are the specs on the WR1. 320 hp 310 ft/lbs torque 0-60: 4.3 0-100: 10.6 Top end: 155 MPH (248 KM/H) It also has a stainless steel mesh grill, a lowered ride height (25mm), and 18-inch 7-spoke rims with Pirelli PZero tires. Other than that (hehe) it is the same as the American STi.

I agree completely. The 1992 was the "fastest" because it didn't have the top end governer. The later models are almost the exact same car. The only possible advantage to getting a later model SVX would be lower miles.

I know that the older gen. Legacys have the E brake in the back. Thanks Steve!!

I know that Consumer Reports rated both the WRX and the STi very high in reliability. And most Japanses cars are known for their endurance and reliability.

Have you had any trouble with the 4EAT tranny or the wheel bearings? I know that both are chronic problems, and with the wheel bearings, if not properly replaced, the housing can be deformed. How many miles? Thanks.

I am starting to lean towards lowering the SVX. It is much cheaper, and I think that an SVX would look odd lifted. The SVX really is a sport touring car and it is so heavy, that it would get stuck in the mud pretty easily.

Well, after shopping around, I have found that it is much easier and cheaper to lower an SVX. I think that lowering the SVX would be a much better decision because it is really a sport touring car. I am gonna have to stay on the road for now.

Well, I'm not sure if I want to lift it or lower it. I love to offroad, but the SVX is more of a "sports car". I have never seen a lifted SVX, and am not sure about what I want to do. I am torn between my love for SVX's and offroading.
