Hey guys/'93 legacy

[Tizbitz]

Well, I've been lurking on and off for about a year now, and coincidently I've also been driving my Legacy for right at a year, so I figured it was time to surface and say hi, and actually get some opinions from people who know what they're talking about.

It's nothing special, a 1993 Legacy L.

Here she was when I first got her a year ago, kind of sad and beat looking. It did have some ungodly ugly hubcaps, but I pulled those off as fast as I could.




A year and a good bit of work later, here she is in all her glory.

Unfortunately, most of it has only been cosmetic. The only real upgrade has been a set of KYB struts, and it is obviously in need of some springs. I know there isn't much I can do with a 2.2L non-turbo automatic, but I was hoping for some suggestions anyways. Let me know what you think.

Nice car looks really clean!!

[Tizbitz]

Thanks, It'll look loads better once I get it sitting where it should be. Anyone have any recommendations on springs?

[ericem]

You can use whiteline springs. If you look in the suspension section you will see they are recommended.

[Tizbitz]

Thanks, I'll definitely have to look into them.

they are about $345 without shipping if you go through a subaru dealership

clean car... yea def needs a drop.. looks like its launching when sitting still lol

+1 on some suspension & brake stuff.

As for the motor you could do a fresh tune-up (plugs, wires, oil/filter, PVC), drop in K&N ($40-50 (I think the Perrin foam filters are $30-40 & they work just as well as the K&N)), a lightweight crank pulley ($60-130), & Redline 75/90 in the front & rear diffs + Redline D4 in the tranny $60 (if your tranny fluid is changable).

The 3 engine mods should not cost more than $160 & should gain you a few HP, I'd guesstimate 9-10hp.

, i like the overspray, Nice work turning ol' bessy around

[beatersubi]

Welcome. Nice improvements.
The drip rail needs to be black, though, IMO.
I rode in a Leg w/ H&R's, and it was pretty smooth. Don't know what they cost, but might be worth looking into.

My FWD legacy looks like that up front...

But that is one clean car!

looks very nice. brought her back to life with a fresh coat of paint and some new shoes. thats what i started with a 93L fwd and mine came along way too. so much stuff we can do to our cars. like the fuzzion hr-1. i got the zr-1 on my wrx wheels.
