Yea right, I prefer the shape of the 8/9 over the 10. The 8/9 is the best looking version IMO...
-
My opinion of 3.0 vs 2lt turbo is if you want a awesome daily driver that's very reliable with 10k services. The the 3.0r. If you want more tune ability and upgrades get the turbo. Factory the 3.0r manual is equally fast as a 2lt turbo tiptronic car. the 3.0r is good for towing.
Ha funny, I test drove a manual 3.0r and an Auto turbo back to back. Manual 3.0 was definitely faster.
I probably should have changed the title to best TURBO model... As in there are some finicky models with subarus, like some with bigger brakes and 6-speeds instead of 5... I already have an '05 3.0 B4 but want a turbo one, just need to know the best spec to buy... Must be manual and black leather...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/auction-922243264.htm Is this anyones on here?
-
AH right Timmah. Still green on the STI specs. Definately has to rumble.
-
Ah Evowrx, cheers. To be honest I won't be touching the engine too much. Need a reliable daily, so exhaust and stereo will be the upgrades... Also coilovers and mags. I'm thinking V9 if I can find a white one with low k's.
What realistic price range would I be able to get one?
-
I'm Ugoogiling at the mo, like talking to people who have actual experience though!
-
Ah right. Yea definitely would get that over an 8.. But just hardly seem to see them pop up. The 9 has the better steering wheel right?
-
I like the shape of the V8 much more than the V10, But you seem to be able to get a V10 for similar prices to the earlier models...
Are the V10's much better?
How is the reliability of the 2.5 compared to the 2.0?
Also, just sorta read that the V8 STi has equal length headers... IMO one of the best things about Subys is their RUMBLE... Would I have to get after market headers to get it...
What is your personal preference between the two models?
-
Ah that Legacy Wagon is perfect! Yea that's a nice colour, I have the lighter silver on my current one but the darker looks real good. Might be going for damn cheap too. I'll hold of till the perfect one comes up I think... If a Mint white V8 sti pops up that isn't 27k I could be swayed...
-
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/auction-904674068.htm This V8 is perfect, except I'd change the wheels but 27k seems a little excessive.
-
Ah interesting, I spose wouldn't be much to get one of those foresters becoming a bit more aggressive. Love the Version 8! I'm still tossing up whether to spend the extra to get one... although you can find decent examples for 15-17k A white one with the aggressive spoilers would do me!! But the stealth luxury of the GT can't be overlooked... Decisions decisions...
-
Ah just checked out your garage thread Andy_Mac, Nice wagon. Yea it is hard to find a 6-speed Black leather, I want the gunmetal one like my current one. One perfect one on tardeme except it's got 169,000k's on it http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=895176362 pretty much exactly what I want. But lowered on SSR Professor Sp1's. This one has the Mcintosh tho. They prob all would if I wanted Black leather 6-speed right?
-
Right well I'll not worry about the Mcintosh, My 3.0 its not an 'R' I don't think... It's got B4 on the sills? Has got just the standard stereo which goes good enough I spose. Will definitly be upgrading the new ones. Its an auto, which is really good apart from just has to be put in 'sport' when going up hills.
Those STI foresters are nice, rather hard to find. What was it like performance wise compared to an equivalent model STI sedan?
-
Right, interesting about the Mcintosh. Good really as it makes it easier to customise. Is yours a manual? Fuel economy doesn't bother me too much. After owning an A8 Audi 4.2 I'm pretty sure nothing can faze me haha..
-
Hey All,
Time has come to get another Subaru! Currently have a '05 BL 3.0 Bspec and I'm looking for a '07-'08 Legacy... Preferably a 6-speed black leather example.. There seems to be so many different models around it's hard to find out what ones are the ones to go for!
Is the 6-speed the one to go for?
Is there any 'special' editions to look out for?
Is the Si drive any good?
Is it worth looking for one with the Mcintosh sound systems? (Gotta have good sounds)
And does anyone know any issues to look out for?
My 3.0 B4 has had nothing but tyres and was brought with 4,000k's on the clock, now has 141,000k's... Most reliable car I've ever had haha!
Thanks for any info , much appreciated!

How bout this one? 70K but he wants $17k for it haha..
-
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=559548749 is what im looking at
8K seems quite steep for a auto one.... Offer him 6500!
-
Im in qtown so ill just get a mate to order them through his company, i guess would be the easiest way...
Right so make sure they are genuine. You have an idea on what ill be looking at paying?
$120 a coil or something?
-
That\'s normal enough, most see 14psi give or take on secondary especially unmodified
Ah dam, i have a zerosports full exhaust, although it\'s only on from the bottom of the front pipes back, although i am putting the other half of the exhaust on shortly.
I guess i should see a slight boost increase from that.
-
Ah yea gave them a ring (dunedin) but they said they only sell to tradestores as they are wholesalers?
I spose i could hit up a sparky mate to get them through his company?
-
Where would be the best place to pick up some coil packs for my 2000 Rev C BH5?
Also the best plugs you would recommend?
Want to give it some love, and it is a little hesitant everynow and then...
-
Power was limited to 280hp or 206Kw. I just did this mod, i can\'t believe it\'s not factory, car drives alot better!
Buuuuuut my secondary is only boosting 13-14psi? My car is a REV C 2000 BH5, It\'s never boosted over 14-15psi tho...
-
I sold my gts-t and got a bh5 wagon, for a practical 4wd wagon. Manual goes good doesnt use as much gas as i thought it would, i get around 400k's to a tank round town skyline was about 350.
As usual you get a low k tidy example to have the best chance of it being reliable. All i have is a zerosports exhaust and boost gauge, they go good enough if you wanted to mod easy then you'd get a rex.
Overall i'd definately recommend one, can fold the back seats down as a bed even, haha. Really good mile munchers aswell just sort the stereo out!
-
Ah cheers, yea you dont really go down there unless your on it!
Na was good chats anyway, fuck all people down here to talk about car stuff with haha

Best BL/BP Legacy Model?
in Legacy & Outback
Posted
Not bad.. but only a 5-speed and still highish k's and a bit too old. Nice colour though. Guess it's just a matter of waiting. I have no time limit really..
