I will see, what I can do. A friend off mine can look up all the prices. New from dealer. I also think he has a few sets spare! I don't speak him very often, because his job is in Germany and he travels very much every day.

When I speak to him, I will ask. In a while, every American Legacy is driving with EUDM headlights

Hi guys,
Today, the sun was shining and I decided to place my new wheels.



Old (winter) situation



New situation



The wheels are completly clean, but I still have to wash my car

Looks good.
Looking back to your interior shots, what are the two switches on the center console next to the e-brake?

Those 2 switches are for the heated seats. Nobody has them here?

Hi new friend!!!!!!!!!!! I am new too, from Argentina, so we are two new outside US posters.
There are to many different markets, nobody has heated seats in Argentina, and i think they hasn´t in US neither.

Hi, I posted in your topic too my friend

Strange, I think that all the 2.2 models have heated seats here!

But we have indeed different cars at different markets.
Overhere in 1992:

- 1.8DL 2WD (everything manual, doors, windows, mirrors)
- 1.8GL 2WD/4WD (everything electrical)
- 2.0GL 2WD/4WD (pretty much the same as de 1.8GL)
- 2.2GX 4WD (like 2.0GL, but with electric roof, heated seats, leather steering wheel, discbrakes at the back etc.)
- 2.0 turbo 4WD (with ABS, 200bhp etc.)

My car is the 2.2GX, so almost the topmodel. Extra option on my car is the ABS, nice, but not in the snow

wow we always get screwed over here......

at least we got the ej22t.

WORD

May I remind everybody that cars in the states are very cheap

For the record,

The cheapest NEW Legacy costs here 30000 euros. That's 36000 dollars.

The cheapest Legacy in the USA costs 21695 dollars

We get a 2.0 engine while you guys have a stronger 2.5 engine

So, take my heated seats and let me buy cars for American prices!

Pretty sure the Europeon economy makes up for it by having better wages and stuff. We make shitty money so we get *cheaper* cars.

You think so?
Maybe you're right, but do you have any idea what the petrol prices are?

We pay 1,40 euro for 1 liter unleaded fuel!
When you drive a lot, half your income dissapears in you petroltank...

But anyway, it al has advantages and disadvantages

Yes the prices of petrol in the EU are high. But i didint know that you pay 1.40 for 1 liter. We pay ˝only˝ 0.95.
And if you ask me, i would never trade in my subaru boxer (it purrs so nice) for a stinking passat diesel.

Well, ofcourse I get a little discount, but at the moment I still pay 1,32...

1 year ago it was only 1,17...
and 2 years ago it was 1,10 or something...

But I agree, I will NEVER trade my 2.2 slurping Boxer for another car. I even want a turbo!

In Argentina we have

1,8 GL FWD
1,8 GL 4WD

Both of them with AC, electric windows, manual or automatic transmision.

2,2 GX 4WD rised roof, roof racks but if you have roof racks, you can´t have roof window.
With or without alloys wheels.

We also have a 2,2 version.

All of them Sedan and Wagon. All GX versions have ABS.

But how much would you pay for registration? Here in slovenia i would pay more than 1250 Euros for registration of a turbo.

Dotn´t complain about the prices, for my 93 Legacy I paid 6000 dollars, one like SP-Boxer bougth is maybe 4500-500 dollars, and if you wanna have a brand new wagon, you need 44000 for an Outback and 37 for the cheapest Legacy.

Pfft, so, buying a new car is even more expansive then in Europe...


For registration, in Holland we pay for the weight of the car. For my 2.2GX (1305kg) I pay 600 dollars a year. A turbo would be one step higher so probably it would cost something like 650 dollars.
Ofcourse there's insurance left. The older you are, the lower the prices. I'm 20 and for a turbo I would pay 1500 dollars

Yeah owning a high powered car in Europe is not cheap.

My god, it has been 1,5 years ago since I've updated here

I did a few things in the mean time.


- I found a matching rearseat in Germany



- I installed a 8000k Xenon HID kit

Right in the picture

- Bought a set of STI type R Impreza aluminium arms(???)

Didn't install them yet

- Bought some 17x7,5 STI wheels and painted them silver



- Went on vacation to Italië


- And I bought a BC Sports suspension kit



They kit is fully adjustable. Damping, pre-load and height!


And that's it for now

your Lego's looking great! those rims suit very well. I like it.

tell me what tires are you running on these 17s? no rubbing issues?

I also installed full leather seats in mine recently

Thx, I answered your PM

I'm running 215/45/17 tires. The wheels are 17x7.5, Offset 53
And yes, they rubbed at the rear, but after rolling the rear fenders it's ok.

And leather is quiet rare, good job!

Hello! nice ride!!! any chances on a pair of the glass headlights? please!! it seems like all the good parts are across seas! maybe even a pair of foglights?? i dont think we have those here either..

is that trailer hitch stock also??

Thx!

That hitch isn't stock. The dealer shop can install when you buy the car. And overhere they allways make a hole in the rearbumper

Glass headlights is difficult for me. My adjustment was broken, so I changed my headlights, but now I have one broken glass
I can get another set off 2, but will change my broken one. So I'll only have a right one than for spare.

When I can get a set, I'll do my best to save them for you guys.


Foglights are also rare overhere, so I have to dissapoint you
