spec b...mmmmmmmmm

[blackNshine]

love these wagons and sedans also

[Turbo1985]

dont they come tiptronic also

[NorStar2K]

dont they come tiptronic also

Yup, tiptronic with steering controls (not paddle shifters eh)

[InDeForest]

Spec B is based on a slightly lowered Bilstein suspension (hence the 'b'), so overall its a handling package.
Pretty much like how you have 'Cross sport' foresters, same engine, but add lower suspension, some aero, and tiptronic

The legacy is a wonderful car.

In my tuning history, I find them more fun to drive harder and corner than the STI's and WRX's.

The room, the power, the class, it does it ll for you.

I find the auto more pleasurable and the traction on them seems better in my opinion. This is so, since the auto is like DCCD, since it has an active diff, eletronically control, unlike the standard manuals.

Again, you will like it.

On the power size, the turbo behaves like in the forester, which means spools very early, but although it runs out, the car is no less slow

The guys over on subiecrew.com has some and there works very well. The owners are proud of them. Not only that, there are also ECU tuned for fuel safety and slight extra power.

If you have the money, go for it. I wish you all the best.

Post some pics when you do get it.

If I were getting a 2.0 non turbo legacy. Does anyone think it would still be worthwhile... I mean for getting to work and doing the day to day routines ???

[west_minist]

It would. Test drive it and see if you like it.

[tr1ad]

all legacys...... wicked ride

[sweeks]

If I were getting a 2.0 non turbo legacy. Does anyone think it would still be worthwhile... I mean for getting to work and doing the day to day routines ???

- It's a lot more economical than their turbo counterparts...(actually I was surprised by that)

- Decent acceleration/speed.... you're driving at 150 km/h and feels like 100km/h

- And a Legacy is a head turner anywhere you go.

[importfanmwd]

Can the Spec B be identified by specific numbers or letters on its chassis?

[Alpha_2nr]

Spec B is based on a slightly lowered Bilstein suspension (hence the 'b'), so overall its a handling package.

Not the real reason for the "B" nomenclature. And remember some of the GT Sedans also come with Bilstein suspension setups (non adj though). Yellow struts.

Real good cars there ... Got a twin turbo GT for sale a PBZ older model to the one thats on the market rigth now its loaded tho HID lights tiptronic 17" rims power driver seat mostly driving by my wife ..$125,000.00 if you intrested again its the twin trubo not bad on gas at all since this seems to be a concern ....

[15devils]

the twin turbo real sweet........

[bushwakka]

i guess the legacy GT is like the new Galant VR-4.....but will it suffer the same demise as the VR-4.....namely, unavailability of parts etc

[Maserati]

namely, unavailability of parts etc

parts always available it is just the price may be a bit steep.

[anielkhan]

Again I have a legacy never had any problems with parts I know my mach have a VR-4 park up since I have my car waiting on parts tho hehe but It have parts like crazy for legacies man

Hey Guys I Ordered a Subaru Legacy Wagon

Should be in the Country bu March... But I was wondering....

The Car is : 2004 SUBARU LEGACY WAGON 2.0 GT-TURBO BP5
2.0 PETROL FULLY LOADED WITH
AC PS PW PM CS RADIO, ALLOY RIMS, FOG LIGHTS, SPOILER,
DUAL-AIR BAG,
ABS, Tiptronic AT

What exactly is the BP5 stands for???
I highly Doubt It means SPEC B
& In all I get it for $140K on the road! You think thatz a bess deal?
I get a gun metalic colour though Prefer the Pearl White

Form the previous info posted I should be getting a DOHC twin cam, turbo. right? which supposed to be a good performance engine.

Another thing, does any one know anything about the ECU altering, to do stuff like get rid of the speed limiter & other performance upgrade.?

Will probably need to know also how the rass to hook up a deck casue I hear Subaru wiring & space behind the dash real crammed, casue i'm not keeping the stock deck!

[equipped2ripp]

^ BP5 is the chassis code.

it's not a Spec.B

$140K is a GOOD price

what you could do with it is have the ECU programmed so that the car could run on a lower octane fuel (to prevent knock)

as for installing the deck, you need a dash finisher kit (right hand drive).

[equipped2ripp]

i guess the legacy GT is like the new Galant VR-4.....but will it suffer the same demise as the VR-4.....namely, unavailability of parts etc

nope

[Shagga]

Thanks for the Info...........where will I get a dash finisher kit? Any good music store / car accessory place?


& where can I get the ECU programmed?

[Alpha_2nr]

what you could do with it is have the ECU programmed so that the car could run on a lower octane fuel (to prevent knock)

Won't have to if he doesn't want to. Those cars run fine on 95 RON due to lower boost levels.

[equipped2ripp]

Shagga, you'll have to order that online or from a store such as sound and security etc. or even PM SR on the forum. it'll be different to the left hand drive ones though.

[Shagga]

Thanx dude!
