    Track hack/project car build cost?

    in General Vehicle Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Dazz01

    Sounds about right. you could get a nice shell for 2k, an engine, turbo and some suspension for 6k, if your doing a re spray, that would prob cost over 1k and 1k for tuning sounds right. Since this is a daily car its about right, you would spend so much more for a race car build... One thing though is that suspension could get expensive, Good wheels/tyres, suspension cost a lot and there is also sway bars etc which doesn't leave much for a good engine, turbo and other stuff like fuel pumps, ecu, injectors, exhaust, intake, brakes and all that stuff you might wanna upgrade.

    I really dont know, my guess is 10-15k depending on what you really want.

    3rd gen is E for sedan and H for wagon.

     

    Rev D's are basically just the last revision to the vehicle so most things that were wrong with the older ones were ironed out. Even without a tune the rev D's are way nicer to drive.

    Notice the different light design, mainly indicator area. Probably the easiest way to tell it's a rev D

    I just took another look at this rev D on that link and its cheaper than the other one which was not rev D and it has less kms and it seems to be in okay condition, why is it so cheap?  xD

    Would it be a car to consider getting?

    It does look tidy, and a decent car. 

     

    The drawback I see is that it's a Revision C as stated above. 

    Basically the main differences between the Revision C and Revision D are the following: 

     

    Different headlight design and HID's (did come on some Rev.C's)

    Flashable ecu for tuning

    New Motor design which is a stronger motor (within reason)

    New turbo design with less 'Valley of Death' (point where second turbo comes on and power drops and comes back)

    Some came with optional 4 pot / 2 pot subaru brakes, however it's hard to find examples of this now.

     

     

     

    uhh okay, thank :)

    that legacy looks like it may have been AUTO at some stage, The Dash has the window at the top for the Sport shift and the Auto selector display on it as well?

    Oh yeah thats possible... You mean that bit in the middle of the speedo and rpm is supposed to have P N D 2 1 or whatever? Looks like it aye.

    Very exiting - first preformance mod

    +1 on them tyres, off to get some new ones for the legacy after Saturday's track day and finding out how terrible they are!

    Yea I 100% agree with tyres for better handling but I also want a bit more stiffness in the suspension as its a NA subaru it has quite a soft setup and I would like it to give me more confidence in the corners, the sway bar has helped a lot tho. I thought about upgrading the bushes to poly but thats difficult without the tools and a pain to do. Would something like progressive lowering springs be something to consider?
