92 Turbo Legacy Front Wings?

Post by fopetesl »

I have a 92 Oz Liberty Turbo very similar to my original 93 Legacy Turbo Estate.
Underneath is factory clean but front wings need replacing as my paint sprayer thinks existing are not refurbishable.

Anyone got a clue as to where I should be looking.

Welcome to the BBS Pete!

There's not a lot of traffic on this site. You may want to check out/post on some of the Facebook first gen Legacy groups.

Josh, I tried all the Facebook groups I could find but unfortunately most, if not all, are US based.
And no positive response to requests for body parts. :smt022

Are you looking for a group in the UK?

You may want to message these guys and see if they have any connections/info on UK based groups for the older Legacies.

Josh, as an aside I note you have a 90 Legacy with and EJ22T engine.
Looking at the specs it seems to have a lower bhp than my EJ20T which is a surprise.
Why did you choose the EJ22T?

Hi Pete,

The North American turbo legacies came with the 2.2T vs the 2.0T that's found in the turbo legacies in other parts of the world. When I did my original swap I wanted to try and keep things stock so if I had issues it would be easier to troubleshoot and resolve. Plus I liked the earlier torque of the 2.2.

If I had to do things over instead of rebuilding the 2.2 with forged internals I would get the 2.5t out of the 2005+ era STi. Engine technology has come a long way since the early 90's and the STi motor makes more power across the power band and is more efficient.
