Hello.

I am 18 years old and I am from Norway. I am a great fan of Subaru and I bought a 1990 Subaru Legacy 2.2 GX manual as my first car. Now the car is pretty much stock, but I have some plans to upgrade and modify it. And this forum is a great forum, and exactly what I have been looking for.

Nice clean looking Legacy!

Welcome to the board.

Ditto.

Ditto.

p.s. - Really dig the red. Are those rims or hubcaps?

Welcome

those are rims, thats what my car has, your car looks just like mine but mines white

Im pretty sure those arn't rims ... they are hubcaps... (u can see a chip in the front one)

thats not a chip its the hole for the air nipple. and they are hubcaps.

Welcome!
great clean car, Norsubby.
don't forget to post more pics.

hhmmm i see now, but they are the same style as my rims anyway, i didnt get good enough a look

are there lots of those in norway?
what engines did you guys get?

Norway?....... Sweeeeeeet.

Nice leggy.

Welcome!

Old Legacys are rare in Norway, and the turbo model have never been sold in the country as far as I know. Most common engines for legacys are the 1.8 and 2.0 GL and some 2.2 GX

Hello and nice ride.

YES! The turbo version has been sold in Norway, but only the SW the 1.generation Legacy. Stupid rules, and norwegian politicians are the reason why!

welcome from canada

Welcome! Glad to have our population expand across the world!!!

I don't know why they didn't put the side markers on the early US models. The headlight washers are nice, too. The car looks new.

dogfish - I'll trade you 587 American politicians for 1 Norwegian. And if you act within the next month, I'll throw in the entire legislative branch of the state of Massachusetts for free!

That was great for a well needed laugh while at work.

We (US market) definitely lost & lose out on cool features that overseas cars received (sedans with rear wiper, headlight washers, better flowing motors, etc.).

He,he.. what do you pay for gas ? Here in Norway we pay 2,2 US dollar pr/litre. And its increasing ! It cost 17500 $ more for a Impreza Wrx in Norway, then in Sweden . Norwegian politicians are insane ! You dont want any of them! I promise.

2.2/LITER! Damn, we're complaining about gas that's easily less than half that! Are your roads at least intact for all those taxes? Most of our roads here try to emulate Afghanistan so the military can train people used to driving in the third world countries they send them to. Our public schools are a joke, too, and there's little to no assistance for the majority of people to go to college/university. And no paid health insurance, and in Massachusetts they make you have it, they just don't pay for it. I won't get into the rest of it, suffice it to say I'm shopping other countries and cursing myself for buying a house and tying myself down here.

But ... I guess you get what you pay for (sometimes) and our taxes in comparison are extremely low. I pay between 25-30% income tax (varies by income and a little by occupation), 5% sales tax (varies by state), and property tax of a few thousand/yr. (varies by town). There are some other taxes, but they're incidental.

Norway is the richest country in the world, but our country is not the main priority. All the money goes to the poor middle east the rainforest. BOMB THE MIDDLE EAST AND STOP WASTING MONEY! thats my opinion, it will never be peace there. Norwegians school and hospitals are in bad shape, but here we are giving Billions and billions to muslims and other "good" projects. Go Norway

The most of our roads were buildt in the 80,70s , and they are not in good shape no. We do not get what we pay for, i promise you that. It is a waste of money to have a lowered car in Norway, that is like to have a handicap. "you cant get yourself everywhere
you want"

you need to run the world!
i'll write you in for pres. if you want

I consider myself too smart and not power-hungry enough to want the job, but thanks.

I love meeting people from other countries and finding they have similar opinions and situations. I guess that the grass always looks greener on your neighbors lawn is just a trick of the light. Within reason - there are plenty of countries where the grass looks brown.
