MDMA

It’s a 2.0 TDi engine, 6 speed manual gearbox, but most importantly, 450nm or torque. It also does 60mpg and can do 700 miles to a tank too. 
 

This just landed ready for the remap in the next few weeks. 

Well I couldn’t find the right Alpina in the end. Costs have gone crazy now in Japan and additional freight charges. I ended up getting a UK model and putting my little touches to it now.

I haven't seen any in that color, she's pretty.

An original video from back in 2007 featuring one. It’s from 8.11 onwards.

Did you buy another legacy?  Last I remember you sold your tbSTI and were looking out for a 3 series Alpina estate.

Yes, sold the pearl white one. Regretted it the week later. The Alpina D3 never happened. There’s a big push on diesels over here to get them off the road. Clean Air Zones coming to all the big cities. The logical step is to get another petrol Legacy. Spotted the grey Tuned by STI and hopefully, should be able to secure it in the next few weeks. 100% standard, 2007 run out model, looks great in the photos. Fingers crossed. 

That’s too bad to hear but I get it. Most of mine should probably be sold but I can’t do that, lol. Please share pictures of the new car once you get it, be interested to see one of those!

Will do. Just waiting for the right one to become available. Not many were made for the UK, so it’s just a case of sitting tight and be ready to move when one pops up.

Sold the car (back to the importer who brought it over for me). I just wasn’t using it and it sat in the garage for most of the year.

Plan now is to get an Alpina D3 Biturbo to run as a daily.

Here he is back in 2007 with the TbSTI (2m50s onwards).

Just bought one for mine. Got the adjustable links too.

Got an uprated Superpro rear roll bar that I’m going to have powdered in the oem colour.

Which Thule box is that? Looks good.

One of the original Motion Sport 600.

Christmas break away at a cousins farm.

not true. you can import JDM TBSTI to the US. BUT you will get a "for show only" title and pay through the nose at customs. You can only trailer it. If you get caught driving it on the road, bye-bye and a huge fine. Best thing to do is store the JDMs in canada until the 21 year rule is up. That's what I do.

 

Frankly, RHD are a pain in the US. Seems cool, but when everything is setup for LHD, RHD sit in storage more than you think. It's cheaper to move to JPN and buy one then to build one here. I know.

I meant no chance of a LHD model TbSTI as they were RHD only.

Latest purchase. NOS single DIN top cubby hole replacement. Ready for the DEFI DIN conversion in the New Year.

Will look like this when done.

All fitted.

it's possible to do with 2006+ LGT Spec-b JDM. It's the USDM LGT, the wiring is different. your car isn't an apples to apples comparison to the USDM. For people here in the US, you can do a 2007 TBSTI MT cluster with some lite wiring in a 2005 LGT, but not th 2008 s402/TBSTI. I believe it's possible to do a 2008 JDM MT (non-s402/TBSTI) cluster in a USDM 08 spec B. the wiring looks right, but not 100%.

 

I've attached a photo of the TBSTI 07 cluster. It has no STI logo.

Those are pre-face lift clusters. Will be 2005 clocks. The 2006 model had the STI logo and the digital display incorporated into them.
