Sushi Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I am considering buying a 2nd gen, Legacy GT. However, they are somewhat hard to find around here, yet Outbacks and Brightons are very common. So what is it that makes a GT a GT? What sorts of things would I need to change? Has anyone had the oppertunity to drive a JDM GT with the Twin Turbo?

EVOthis Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 check out this site... http://www.cars101.com it might have some answers for you...As for the JDM 2.0 TT Legacies..from what I hear there is very very little turbo lag which im assuming is inherent for a twin turbo vehicle..however I believe they also make less HP than a USDM STI... Either way I absolutely love the way they look.. I also hear they can be had rather inexpensively.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushi Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 That site does give some good information on the GT, but not quite what I'm looking for. Perhaps I should itemize my questions. With regards to the GT.. -does it have an LSD? -different interior (seats, dashboard)? -lower springs or different struts? -I know it has different front bumper, hood, wheels, and side skirts, how about rear bumper? -headgasket prone 2.5l only available engine? -upgraded brakes/rotors? Do you think it would be worth it to upgrade a regular or brighton, or just hold out to find a decent priced GT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brus brother Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 IIRC my 2000 Legacy GT had LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
