Welcome to Legacy Central!

WOW!!! Very nice job inside and out!

So, you have a dual-range transaxle? Your spoiler is from what year Legacy? What did you have to do to make the Corolla front lip fit? What kind of access to first gen Legacy parts do you have there?

thanks! I have high and low gears on my tranny. my spoiler is from 1 gen legacy (facelift)
corolla lip is bolt on, I used regular screws to attach it to my orginal bumper. the corolla lip comes in 2 pieces

depends on what parts you are looking for? our local dealer is expensive, so in many cases I order parts from England

[93Leg-c]

Regarding parts, I was thinking about good used parts. Do you have junkyards in Norway with first gen Legacies from which you can get parts off of? While other board members in Europe can source the glass headlights, it's always good to have other sources if needed. Same with the manual seatbelts with trim (though shipping probably would be expensive).

I was thinking about the rear spoiler you have on your wagon. Others on the board can correct me but I don't think any of the first gen US-produced Legacy wagons ever came with the option of having a factory spoiler. I asked about the spoiler because yours has a piece in the middle whereas the second-gen Legacy wagon spoilers that have been modified to fit the first gen wagons don't have that design. Now, those spoilers may be something that some members on the board may be interested in.

Another part that board members would be interested in is obtaining an undamaged 90 degree intake inlet boot for their turbo engines. They are out-of-stock in the US and Subaru isn't making them anymore.

Very nice! Which one do you like better or does it depend on what kind of driving you're doing?

So, you now have driving lights on your NA?

[gunnar]

This last picture was taken in the winter with my home made frontgrill 2x lamps with 55w xenon bulbs
I prefere the turbo because of the power, the 2.2 is ok power (100kw) but the turbo is waay much more fun to drive

i love the omg awd haha

[93Leg-c]

I think I know the answer to this but I'll ask it anyway: your turbo wagon doesn't have a dual-range tranny, does it?

[gunnar]

Thats right

Yes, I like driving a turbo Legacy better than an NA Legacy, too. But I used to own an '81 GL wagon with a dual-range tranny. That little Suby was GREAT in the Lo range for driving up really steep mountainsides in the mud or snow, especially when there were no barriers to prevent the car from sliding off the mountainsides.

[kiesha555]

Very good looking Legacy! And one question about the lip, was it straight "bolt on" or you had to make modifications to make it work?

[gunnar]

No modification, just bolt on. I used phillips screws to bolt mine to the bumper

Mounted strut brace on my legacy today from Impreza Gc8, bolt on and my handling is more precice, that my opinion!
it is adjustable OMP, and is tighten pretty good

[kimokalihi]

Nice. How much did those tail lights cost?

[gunnar]

$133.84 each.

remember, my taillights have been modifyed, I am a car mechanic and know what I am doing. if you dont know, be at least carefull if you are going to modify something
