New member in the UK with a 1991 JDM Legacy wagon
Hi I thought that I had better post up a few pictures of my wagon in the UK.
I have a 1991 JDM Legacy GT with a few mods.
91 BF5 Gen 1 Series 1 GT Manual, full decat Mongoose exhaust, DEI wrapped stainless unequal lenght manifold and H&S uppipe, TD05 16g turbo, Front AP Racing 6 pots and rear 2 pot Brembos, braided lines, wing mounted k&n cone filter and 3 inch powder coated inlet pipe, ESL daughter board mapped by JGM to 312.5 bhp, Apexi AVCR (Now with 230mm clutch and GTB gearbox and diff) Sti alloy lower wishbones with whiteline ALK, poly bushed suspension front and rear, front carbon fibre sti strut brace, front lower brace, Meister R coilovers, 20mm front and 21mm rear anti roll bars, FMIC and forge recirculating DV, Greddy oil temp, pressure and boost gauges, H4 50w Hids, tints
I try to do a few track days a year and have been to the Nurburgring for the last three.
Currently looking for a ej22t block for a engine build so that I can teach the Impreza drivers whose boss
Thanks to Josh (legacy777) for showing me this great site

Re: New member in the UK with a 1991 JDM Legacy wagon
My favorite body style in my second favorite color. How much are you willing to spend on the 2.2 block? I know of one that would be sold for the right price (bare block halves).
Would you like to do me a favor? I'd like a set of EU headlights if you see any for a decent price.

Finding EU (LHD) in the UK would be next to impossible i'm afraid but if I see any I will let you know. Are your plastic then?
I might already have found a 2.2t block but could be interested in another sned me a pm and let me know what the owner want for it

Not so much room as you guys have due to the twin cam heads on JDM and EU carsSubiman91ss wrote:dam I want that bumper and fogs on my car... cool that its right hand drive, weird to see so much clutter by the turbo tho.

Does that have 73663 km on it?! Even if that's miles, that's still amazing. My Focus is not 8 months old and has 25k miles already.
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.
Re: New member in the UK with a 1991 JDM Legacy wagon
They are only found on the JDM models with climate control. (buttons are hidden behind a flap when not in use)Subiman91ss wrote:

UK and EU cars are different probably similar to US ones
Re: New member in the UK with a 1991 JDM Legacy wagon
Now on 75000 miles. Averages at 3500 miles a year
Re: New member in the UK with a 1991 JDM Legacy wagon
Ciper, there's one or two guys in Europe that pick up and sell those headlights on the bbs. Check out the parts shed. Timo is one of those members I believe that has sold them in the past.ciper wrote:Would you like to do me a favor? I'd like a set of EU headlights if you see any for a decent price.

Alright. I had forgotten which side of the road everyone drove on when I posted this. Yes my current car has plastic lenses that are so yellow you cannot see inside of them in daylight.hallie wrote:Finding EU (LHD) in the UK would be next to impossible i'm afraid but if I see any I will let you know.

I appreciate those members doing the work but the price they charge is too high for my personal budget. I dont need the adjustors or corner lights or city lights, just a set of useable headlights.Legacy777 wrote:Ciper, there's one or two guys in Europe that pick up and sell those headlights on the bbs.
