New to the board - here is my rust box

Post by Royson »

Well, I just joined up and this is my mint-condition 1990 Legacy.

Right...So its got some rust! I picked it up for 500 bucks (Canadian). Its an auto-tragic unfortunately, but I needed a cheap car.

My buddy owned a 5 speed Legacy turbo two winters ago, so I know how much fun these cars can be.

And it'll be in the mud a bit, like any good Subaru

So, any suggestions!

Drive it and have fun. Better car than a new Mazda3 and has the beater halo that assures that few other drivers will want to mess with you.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

Welcome to the board!

Keep your ears open. Some real good information floating around on this board. Peeps that actually know what they are talking about!

Then there is me.

Enjoy!

Woodstock, Ontario.

I've got some basic work planned for it, like patching up the rust holes, a home-done paint job (when the gf calls your car purple, you listen!) and I want to go with some rally fog lights.

I'm hoping in the future to trade her for a Legacy 5 speed, but for now I'm going to have some fun with it.

Its been an informative board so far :D

I agree lol. I just had a 2001 Mazda Protege, which I sold so I could reduce debt and get a fun car. I'd rather an old car that can get dinged in a parking lot than a new car I owe a lot of money and stress to!

Updated! Nope, all Ontario.

Car needs some work, in its current state I'm not certain it'd make it three provinces over!

You make me miss my 91 SS so much, you jerk! I'm sure we can do our best to fix it up and make it a blast to drive.

Piff, I didn't make you sell it, loser.

Now go outside and start working on my Legacy.

Sure, I will go outside and work on it. I think I have some more self tapping screws around here somewhere...

Drive it like an a**hole. When people change into your lane w/o looking or signaling, don't swerve or brake. Brakecheck tailgaters, hard (or even w/ the e-brake).
You'll have enough money for that 5-speed Legacy in no time. And you'll still be safe.
93 legacy wagon L, 22T swapped (TW imitator) now with five forward speeds. (Gone, but never forgotten)

AWD, and its got 208,000 kilometers (so thats around 120,000 miles, roughly?)


Took her on our first long-distance trip this weekend. Averaged 8 litres per hundred kilometers, which is 29 miles per gallon. I thought that was pretty impressive for an 18-year-old AWD car!
