Drift Monkey Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Well then, so need to mod whatsoever! Intakes are a probably a waste on these cars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 From several big name tuners, they aren't a recommendation unless you're breaking around 350chp on WRX's. Just mainly produce too many extra things to correct for in ECU tuning. Especially units like the AEM CAI's and some of the Short-Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thats how it is for the WRX, so I assumed it carried over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I would take that for all Subaru forced induction models. It's much more of a bling thing. On many of the WRX forums a lot of n00b's keep asking if that and an MBC are the first things to do. Gets tiring, not what the few ask, what are the shortcomings of the WHOLE car, like adding some better suspension components, brakes, rubber, whatever. I'm sure it will happen here too in time as the car becomes popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Rubber seems to be the best upgrade choice then (ala WRX again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBY Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Lets give the RE92A's a fair go first, they might be considerable better especially in the lower aspect ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerdave Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If they have the same compound and big, squirmy tread blocks, I'm not holding out much hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtguy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Like the WRX's RE-92s, I'm not driving a block on mine. Blizzaks will go on the stock wheels, and the P1s will go on the car. It isn't that I have anything particular against RE-92s, I just don't believe in all-season tires. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBY Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 They aren't ideal for the climate I live in either, summer tires would be ideal but one or two trips to Tahoe a year where there might be snow makes those trips risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 One benefit of living in TX i guess. No need to get winter tires. Summer tires all year round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I just found this at [url]http://www.subaru.com/home/faqs/faq_future.jsp[/url] : [i]2. Is Subaru considering offering the Legacy B4 in the United States? There are no plans at this time to offer the Legacy B4 in the United States.[/i] I don't believe there will be anything new coming this year.

Tide Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 The "Legacy B4" is simply a Legacy "Sedan". The Spec.B and "S401" are the performance Legacys that have existed elsewhere.

Tide Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 No, I think Subaru will wait until 06' to make any changes to the line. I've not known them to add things mid product cycle. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hows the B4 diff. from our GT, besides the bumpers and DVD navi system? [quote name='Tide']The "Legacy B4" is simply a Legacy "Sedan".

SUBE555 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 The B4 means sedan, Touring Wagon is the wagon models. B4 is not a performance term. Their models are still called GT's. Just 2.0GT's per their displacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 For the moment the name B4 has been washed out with the old model. The thing that I dont understand is, the GT has NO markings on the car at all (except the sensational slit in the bonnet) to show any difference to the other models. A least the last preformance liberty had the B4 tag and its suprising how many ppl know what u are taking about when u say u have a B4. I suppose its a bit like AMG @ Merc and M @ BMW. Then again, the sleeper facter comes into play too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
