1000 is a great price for a car in that kind of condition, and from what people are saying in this thread, EJ22Ts pave the sidewalks, so it should be no problem finding one to put in it.


Why wont it roll?

But alright, the engine + how much for the whole car?

Motor and Crossmember plus $600 US


And don't try to pull the wool over my eyes, I see the price in the pictures

so... you want 1,000 for a car with no engine and wont even roll.... yeah.... good luck with that

That's not what irks me, it's this little tidbit:

Wanting to sell it for what he bought it for minus an engine. Unless there's something I'm not aware of.

you find me any 1992 car that sells for 1,000 w/o a motor and unable to roll, and i'll give you a lollipop

one of the a-arm's mounting points happens to reside on the crossmember... take the xmember away and no more mounting point.

Okay that sounds better.

yeah i payed the price on the window.. as for it won't roll... well i'll be switching out my cross member to the legacy (98 2.5RS).. so it'll have a crossmember in it just i'll be an NA one.. cause thats a requirement of leaving the engineless chassis at my parents house.. IT MUST BE ABLE TO MOVE EASILY....

but wow.. i never knew there was such a fan base for the legacy wagon's.. i tell ya my eyes are definately opened.

It's because they did not make a whole lot of Turbo Wagons

Those numbers are so not accurate.

Yea I really doubt that they only made 500 a year, thats like Lotus numbers

well guys (and maybe girls too), i'm beginning to think that you guys seem to think i'm a horrible monster for doing this to a TW legacy.., but here something for you guys to consider..

at least i'm offering this car to legacy lovers.. and not a scrap yard or turning the car into a crash to pass car or something like that. I'm a car nut myself, and i know as cars get older they need parts, and part soon become harder and harder to find, and we all know that shopping at subaru for every solenoid/switch/fender/hood etc will cost you an arm and a leg, well i'm offering some obviously dedicated legacy fans the chance to have first crack at a whole bunch of really good legacy parts. I know whenever i've gone junkyard shopping, i always find that part thats been broken in a crash, and needed that exact part, and lord knows that was the only one left in the whole place.. well thats why i'm offering this to you guys. PLAIN AND SIMPLE

i'm not doing this to make ANY money.. almost by the time the dust settled on purchasing this car, it was just below 2,000 by the time the taxes/dealer charges came out.. so to ask if ppl want the parts i don't want, to offset the high cost i've already had to take out my pocket, doesn't make me a bad person, it just makes me realistic.

How about we just work a deal with you to keep the car in one piece and get you a nice ej22t and crossmember, shipped to you, already out of the car.

how complete is the ej22.. ie.. sensors, exhaust, turbo picts.. you know general stuff like that.

as far as a deal.. well might be interested

900usd and the parts.. maybe..

omg.. have i actually silenced the legacy peanut gallery.. jk.. wow..

well how much would the drivers door and drivers finder cost shipped to kelowna?

i'll give you $20 for the turbo manifold and uppipe.

Shut your mouth noob...




The motor that would be traded would be complete...

I don't have any pictures but it runs fine and is in generally nice shape


Fuckin' Impretzel owners

bmxkelowna :
its looking like someone might be buying the whole car, complete.. but if things should fall throught then i'll definately contact the shipping department and find out shipping/parts cost

MRtuningCO :
unfortunately if the car is being parted out those parts will be used by myself.. sorry man.

Cool your jets.

This isnt nasioc, we're friendly here.

don't worry Splinter.. i never took offense to it.. and besides.. i think i started it with my peanut galery comment.. lol..

Best thread on here in weeks

And I'm on the fence about parting this one out, I see both sides. As a rule, I like to see these driven into into the ground and then part out. This one does kind of seem like it should be spared, however I also support projects of various scopes and it is YOUR money.

If this one was $1500 canadian, hell man, sell the car to someone here for profit, then pay less for your motor in the long run. Motor packages are available (I've got them!)

Good luck with whatever you decide.
