Looks OK.
I like the way the circle of the headlights are indented into the bumper. And I like the turn signals on the side mirrors.
Any interior pics?
What kind of tires does it have?

Potenza RE92s..peices of crap. I have RE750s on order.

Also a STI short shifter..the shifter needs to go.

Looks great! Now time for some wheels, a little less wheel gap, an FP Green, FMIC, Utec, TBE, and... It's a good thing I don't have to pay for all that or I'd be broke, now get to work! :p

Ike 06-16-2004 10:53 PM

BY the way, what turbo did you guys end up with TD-04 or VF39, I've been looking everywhere and still can't find an answer.

Tirminyl 06-17-2004 12:53 AM

Wow. That looks sooo good. Please post more pics me likey!

Yes, wheel gap huge on this car. But, I am not dieing to buy rims for this thing yet. I will just stick with the 17inchers for now. But, we have no idea what turbo it is either. They haven't disclosed that information.

Also, the car seems not to have a break in period. There is no break in period in the owners manual, and the dealer stated there was no break in. But, it won't see over 4kRPM untill after the first oil change at 700 miles.

More pictures will come soon... its too rainy for good pics.

The interior is nice, I rode in it. Like it a lot, definitely a more grown up car. Engine sounds very similar to STI. I am pretty sure Subaru is not going to put the VF39 on the legacy, should be a TD-04.

Whats the diffrence in those two turbos? If the VF39 is the STI turbo..that is not the turbo in the car. All I know is it doesn't share the same turbo with any other car in the line up.

I am in agreement with Hanzo. Its deffinatly targetted for a more mature market. Interior is top notch.

Car looks good.
How about 215/50 17 to fill out the wheel wells.

-8- 06-17-2004 12:47 PM

that second shot makes it look like a Ford Taurus.

Gigolo Jason 06-17-2004 12:53 PM

Nice Taurus, if thats your thing and all.

Personally I think it looks like a$$ with an attached hood scoup.

It actually does, I think it's just the angle, they don't look anything like the Taurus in person but the rear half of the car in that shot certainly makes it look like one.

You won't clear up that gap without a drop from some springs, trying to do it with tires is the wrong way to go.

9-K Rever 06-17-2004 01:36 PM

Or I coud just go with 18's and call it a day..but, I would rather spend the wheel money on something diffrent. Like the suspension. But, thats the only thing that bugs me about its appearance. Need to fill the gap.

The japanese models look pretty good with their 215/45 18s, and the wheel width is only 7" wide, so 225/45 17 isn't a good idea.

9-K Rever 06-17-2004 03:18 PM

I wonder if the 225/50/17 will work on the stock rim..and would it make much of a diffrence.

pelucidor 06-17-2004 05:29 PM

Finally Subaru styling I like (car looks much better in real life than in these photos). Nice dials too. Congrats.

9-K Rever 06-17-2004 05:48 PM

Thank you, I will get more up this weekend.

JimW 06-17-2004 05:57 PM

What are the performance specs on that car, very nice by the way.
