For sale is a 1994 Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon (turbo) with extensive work done to it. I bought it in 2006 with 186,XXX miles on it and since have put only 17,000 miles on it. This car runs great. I daily drive it when the weather is nice. I average 25 mpg mixed driving and even averaged 31 mpg on a recent trip from Denver to Durango, CO and back. That is great for a car that has 287whp on tap. The car was sold new at Burt Subaru in Denver and is very clean for a 200k car. Does have some minor rust at the top of the windshield and the smallest bit in the driver’s side rear wheel well that is not visible. I have slowed this down by not driving it in the snow/rain/ wet roads and garaging it for the past 4 years. I am selling it to reduce my fleet and fund my other projects. This car has been built to look stock and perform great in Colorado.


Summary of Modifications:
-Ej20g engine, rebuilt td05 turbo, STi injectors, Apexi intake, and custom exhaust. 287whp, passes emissions and can get 31 mpg hwy.
-Rebuilt Turbo legacy 5spd from a 91 Legacy Sports Sedan with exedy clutch, lightened flywheel, and Rear VLSD.
-AGX struts, Ground Control adjustable height sleeves with Eibach springs. The springs rates are around 2006 STi spec C rates with a little more in the rear to compensate for the wagon ass and heavy loads. I had it lowered for a while and then raised it for winter and never lowered it again.
-EDM glass headlights with city lights with clear vinyl cover.
-02 WRX seats. These go well with the black and gray interior of the touring wagons and are very supportive
-99 RS wheels. The car will come with your choice of re92a tires with 70% tread left or Hankook w409 studded snow tires with a season left on them. The hankooks have a slightly larger size wall.

Modifications:
Engine:
-ej20g with approximately 80,000 miles. Runs great with an engine reseal and new timing belt 5,000 miles ago.
-Yellow side feed STi 525cc injectors.
- Rebuilt TD05 16g from JDM GC8 STi. This has 3,000 miles on it since the rebuild.
-RobTune ECU. This ECU has been developed to allow the ej20g run properly on US pump gas. It is specific to the ej20g with TD05 turbo and USDM STI side feed injectors. Rob's dyno numbers with this car’s setup are 287whp and 257wtq. The optional extras include 7500rpm redline, launch control set to 4000rpm. This passes emissions with no problem. Below is a link to the tune details but you all know the details.

-02 WRX coil on plug retrofit.
-Apexi intake specific for the ej20g with pre-filter.
-Custom exhaust with high flow cat. Comes with a WRX bellmouth downpipe modified to work with the legacy’s o2 sensor and a stock WRX downpipe for emissions compliance which is currently installed. This exhaust sound great without being too loud.

-prosport manual boost controller.

Suspension:

-STi front strut top mounts.

Wheels/tires:
-99 RS wheels. The car will come with your choice of re92a tires with 70% tread left or Hankook w409 studded snow tires with a season left on them. The hankooks have a slightly larger size wall.

Exterior:
-EDM glass headlights with city lights imported from Poland. These headlights are amazing. Great cutoff and very bright with Osram +10 bulbs. I installed clear vinyl on them to protect the lens from gravel.
-Aluminum sump skid plate.
-JDM projector fog lights (not installed) with oem switch.
-mud flaps.
-Hella supertone horns

Interior:

-All weather cargo area mat.

Extras:
-Invidia bellmouth downpipe.
-Many extra parts for these old turbo cars. Mafs, IACV, and more.
-Extra front grill

Every few hours I get a little off throttle knock detection flashing on the check engine light(a rob tune feature). I spoke to Rob and he believes it is not real knock but that either the knock sensor is going out or there is something causing false knock. The way I get around this is to let the car idle for a second and it goes away.

Price is $5,900 Cash.

When it was low

If you'd like to trade out the headlights for some cash, let me know!

oowee! if only you were in oregon id come buy that in a second

Wow. This thing is sexy.

I really don't want to part anything out on this car. I spent years getting it just how I wanted it and I would like to sell it like so. If I didn't have a baby on the way soon I would deliver it to Oregon. I am always up for a roadtrip. I am willing to deliver to the immediate states to Colorado for the next two weeks if you are very serious about it.

I will say that the next upgrade I was planning was a small front mount intercooler or awic. I didn't want to put a scoop on the hood so that was the way I was going to go with it. You could do what you want.

Oh, and it has hella supertones.

One Badass wagon!

Very nice! Where was it dyno'd? Any interest in selling the short block separate?

Just to clarify, those are Rob's dyno numbers with this car's setup. I have edited my post to remove confusion.

Currently, I would like to sell this car and block as a package, but I may change my mind in a couple of weeks if it hasn't sold. I will let you know.

New price without extra block.

What a gorgeous wagon!

If it's not sold by April...

Just put my GM6 RS up for sale to hopefully pick this up. Please update this thread if it sells, thanks.

I certainly will. I have a guy who wants to buy it on Sunday.
Max

Really nice wagon!
So, is the new owner a member on the board here?
Oh, and what is the under-engine brush guard made of? Besides the three front bolts that's visible in the pic, where's the rest of the guard anchored to?

I was sold through Craigslist to a guy in Steamboat Springs, Co. I insisted he join this forum as we all know it is an awesome resource.

The skidplate is mounted to the stock locations. 3 bolts on the bottom of the rad support, 2 on the jack plate just rear of the oil pan. It was made out of 1/4 in diamond plate aluminum. I run them on all my Subarus. It proved useful for the blizzard last week on my wife's 2004 forester XT manual.

Thanks for that info! Yes, this is a great Board and resource with volumes of information!

Just one more question if you don't mind--did you make the plate yourself, had it (them) custom made, or can they be purchased somewhere?

I had it custom made by a guy who used to make them (Subyskids). I run a primitive plate on my wife's forester mainly because I got it cheap on Craigslist and another custom piece on my rallycross car. Check with primitive if they sell one for the early legacies. If not the GC one may fit with some trimming for the downpipe. You could also look around for a wrx one. Any legacy or impreza skidplate should be close enough to make fit.

Thanks for the info and recommendation on where to buy them!

And, once again, what a NICE wagon!!!

I would suggest looking for an Mi/Alpine Sport since they came with the factory ones, but maybe there aren't too many in Hawaii.

SC

Oooh, that's nice to know! Thanks!
And I haven't seen ANY Mi/Alpine wagon in HI.
To my knowledge, if any first or second generation Legacy makes it to any junkyard, it is immediately sent to the crusher.
I guess this is getting off topic so I'll stop.

I live in steamboat and have never seen another turbo wagon aside from the one I used as my donor. You know the guy's name?

His name is Peter and he goes to School in Bozeman, MT. He will be back for the summer so i am sure you will see it driving around!
