tantal Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Not if it has the 2.0 L engine, we won't get it. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Purdy. Much nicer than the Spec P (powser)* that they offer here. *credit goes to whoever said that in another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 every single part on those cars is available through the STi catalog. I don't think those are new models as much as examples of what can be done through the parts catalog. Rims are $400/each, quad tip rear cans are $1400, front lip is $550, rear one is $650. I have been looking at those parts since I bought my car in Nov (and own the front lip). The power ratings are std. for the 2.0L JDM cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC GT Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yeah. The only bonus parts are the Legacy Brembos. No engine improvements, no 6 speed. Every other part is already available through an importer if you've got the bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but you end up spending a ton more cash than if you just bought the thing from the factory. Makes more sense to step up to the 5-series at some point.

firedawgs Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 My goal for my LGT is to make it a LGT STi, by switching the intercooler, intake, and tubro VF34. Making 300+whp and a big big smile. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me my full with extended warranty for my modded car, and it'd be great if you could pay the bills for the installs, too. Yea, so thanks very much then!

dennis72 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 The legacy STi is finally released! http://www.subaru-sti.co.jp/LEGACY/catalog/index.html enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexjapan Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Well, the "Tuned by STi" Legacy. It's mainly suspension tuning, nothing really different towards the engine or transmission. Basically it is cheaper than buying all the separate parts yourself, assuming you *want* each and every separate part.

apexjapan Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Almost all of the parts, with the exception of the exhaust cans on the rear, are bolted on suspension bits or interior accessories - not going to have many warranty claims or problems with those, realistically. The main benefit to this model is that you get every STi part in the catalog (which includes the brakes, as they are in the catalog as well) on a Legacy for a bit less than what you would pay for them separately. That is assuming you want every single STi part on your Legacy.

My point was, there is a big diff to those of us not "in the business" like you are. I know you make your living off this stuff, but I'm the guy with the family to support; not your family, mine For me there is absolutely no comparison between being able to buy a fully warranted car off the lot and taking my car and modding it to exactly the same specs. I've paid twice for the same (sorta =) parts, I've paid a good mechanic to install the stuff (I use quality mechanics only), and now I have no warranty on a significant percentage of the car. My insurance goes up. I am in no way saying other people shouldn't do these things, like always I'm just trying to 'splain my point of view. Do I mod my cars? Sure, but little stuff that's no big deal. Wheels & tires (although shitty wheels can screw your bearings, etc), chipped my A4, a sway bar, sure, but the SEMA stuff?? No farkin' way. If I buy a $30k car and have to spend even $10k on it to get it to the way I want it, I'm not interested in the car. $40k buys some awesome new and even more awesome used cars, no mods needed, just maintenance. You can get a good mid-90's 911 for $40k. I'd MUCH rather have that car than a faster but modded GT. Either way, not much of warranty concern Okay, sarcasm mode back on.

apexjapan Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Well, yeah, but the "Tuned by STi" Legacy is roughly 10-11 grand more dear than a base Legacy GT turbo here in Japan. If you factor in that, while you do get a warranty, you are still paying for every single part in the STi catalog, many of which you may not want (or can afford...).

Cheers, Paul Hansen www.avoturboworld.com | www.sevenphotos.com | www.scoobymag.com But after I pay for all the parts, and the dude to install it, how much less is it going to be? As I implied earlier, a $40k legacy, unless it has a dramatically improved suspension, I'm not interested in. I didn't buy this car for the track; it's my family hauler - as close to a minivan or stupid UV as my family will ever get. I don't get peeps taking 3500 lb cars like the GT, the old A4 (I have one of those too), even a 330, to the track to beat the shit out of it. I'd much rather take my miata to the track: (a) it will kick the ass of any of these cars as long as it's not an oval track (b) much cheaper all round © lots of fun even at low speeds. I digress. Anyway, you are right, but I don't see much of a difference in cost either way, maybe save a few grand, but my point is that few grand you save may well get eaten up because you've screwed your warranty. Subaru and mitsu have made a name for themselves refusing warranty claims for tracked cars over the last few years. No thanks. But again, JMO, just my money, etc. I'm glad the option is there.

rfd425 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Since I can't read Japanese, can anyone tell me what the deal is? Is this a car you can buy complete from a dealer (in Japan, obviously)? What parts does it have that a JDM Spec B doesn't have? Are there any new parts that aren't already available from a source like AVO? What, if any, are the ramifications for the US market? Are there any performance statistics available from any source that compare a car equipped with these STi parts to a JDM Spec B or a regular stock LGT? For example, has anyone compared lateral grip or slalom speeds, or braking distances? I have to say that sedan looks pretty hot. I can see what my wife was talking about when she tried to talk me into getting Regal Blue instead of Atlantic Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexjapan Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I haven't seen any comparisons - hope to get one out eventually to get an idea, though. Since every part in it is bolt-on, the only parts not available through vendors like us is the ones that are too expensive, or too expensive to ship. ie, the wheels, or the seats.
