I found this the other day... our beloved turbo Legacy is in the video game Tokyo Extreme Racer Drift 2 for Playstation2. As usual, the specs appear to be for the JDM models. i am impressed that they included the wagon.
I will post pics later once I pimp one out...

Well, that didn't take long. I just added a body kit, wheels, canards (see close up), and different corner lamps.
I can't figure out how to paint the car a custom color
But I know it can be done, I have done it before.
The graphics don't look as bad in person as the camera makes it seem. The PS2 has a habit of turning straight lines into jagged edges. But, for what it's worth, this does make a nice platform for trying out various wheels and paint schemes on the car. And it's faster than photoshop!

I took it for a spin. Regardless of the amount of power, it's one of the most stable cars in the game. Even more so than the WRX. I wonder if it's the longer wheelbase.

Very Cool! I've always tried to keep my eyes open for a game with a car I had. Looks like I can get that game for $7 shipped from walmart.com. Sweet!

I can't remember which one but I think my friend had this game like 8 years ago. Maybe it was the first one. It was a long time ago. I think I was in like 7th grade or something.
Anyways it actually was a really fun game at the time and I'm going to buy it now that I know my car is in it! I have a PS3 but it'll play on my PS3, sweet! Finally a reason to use that stupid emulator on my PS3.

Rad, those look like pretty accurate models except for the lack of sunroofs.
