hey guys whats up, just bought my first subaru, i live in the columbia river gorge, so it was a good move. my previous civic couldnt handle the snow.
i found a 94 legacy on Craigslist advertised for 3500... a lil steep, but it said 125k original miles, and not a single dent on it. and a turbo model! went to see it, and fell in love. the guy was the second owner, the first owner had it for 115k of its garaged life. the guy i bought it from just bought a aspen white sti, so he wanted the garage space. i offered him 2800 cash and he reluctantly took it. in hindsight, i was thinking it was a bit much for an old legacy, but it looks and drives like a new car. as soon as someone tells me how to post pictures, i have a few. i even have the original window sticker... i didnt know these sold for 23k brandnew in 94.
can anyone tell me about this vin#? id like to know some facts: JF1BJ6735RH900468

i got some plans for her, but someone help with the pic situation so you guys can see her!

Welcome to the BBS. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal.

To post pics you need to have the pictures hosted on a server. imageshack, photobucket all work. If you want, you can email me the pictures and I can host them.

Regarding the VIN,

I'd also suggest checking out the Stuff you need to know forum. There's a lot of good info in there, including a post to service and parts manual.

ok here it is, pretty clean i think. runs flawless. execpt for the stupid plastic coolant tank. i have a metal wrx one to put on, so no worries. i want to do a td04, DP, full 3inch catless exhaust, fmic, coilovers, wheels, and a five speed swap eventually.

I wouldn't bother with a FMIC for a TD04. It's not much of an upgrade of your VF11 and doesn't warrant the work and $$ of a FMIC install. Just get an 06-07 WRX TMIC. It'll be easier and cheaper.
