You may have just hit the nail on the head there mate!!!

Ok here's one for all you legacy lOvers,

Bh legacy GT-B E tune or Be legacy B4 RSK REV-D

What's the difference apart from the obvious?

Let the duel begin!

/quote]

correct me if i'm wrong but the E-Tune stands for economy so less power? revision D is the way to go however. alloy bonnet? and will be newer / better condition and stuff. Lights look cooler too

what about a legacy sedan with the ez30?

I'm fairly sure you're wrong on that one, as far as I'm aware E-tune is just cosmetic changes? Not claiming to know that for sure though.

And isn't the only other difference between the two the obvious bit? Don't think there was a difference in parts or performance between the sedan and wagon..

[Edit] Just found this which implies we're both right: http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=114283

go rev d

[gazzy2000]

yea AFAIK e-tune is just an option (trim n body) i have an E-tune ECU here if someone wants to bu it and see if their fule economy is better

Ray, dont buy a legacy unless its a single turbo.. going from your car to a TT is like going from a Suzuki GSX 600 to a GSX 250. I have been there...

;D, I always have this at vtnz, it's not a good sign though considering he is evaluating your car.

rev-D

So far two votes for Rev D over E Tune, any advances?

rev d = possible det problems and no easy option to make it into a single turbo!

at least a rev c can be made into a single turbo (ver 5/6 WRX)

[gazzy2000]

rev d det problem http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,17120.0.html

[RAYDEO]

thanks for that Gaz. very interesting reading.

My vote's for rev D and E-tune, why separate the two? In saying that, I don't think E-tune is important

I cant afford to buy both of them...

[funkytown]

they are essentially the same.. etune is just a cosmetic thing they applied to rev d's and some rev c's afaik.

so you can get a rev D etune ... thus no need to seperate or distinguish differently (is what Blkpanther is saying).

haha, i think he means the rev D e-tune model

[RAYDEO]

ohhh... i see,

showing how much attention i pay to the lagacys huh...

so E-Tune is not only wagons?

[funkytown]

so lets clarify.

Rev C

BE5c - sedan

BH5c - wagon

Rev D

BE5d - Sedan

BH5d - Wagon

etune i know can be applied to the wagons from both revisions.

edit: reseach on TM looks like e tune is wagon only.

so you would have a or BH5 c/d xxxx eTune. same as the non etune model sans the cosmetic changes

[RAYDEO]

Christ! I don't want a legacy any more!!! Too much to learn! Haha

its as simple as the GC / GF we have revision a/b/c/d/e/f..

legacy in the BE/BH only has a/b/c/d

rev c was about 2001, rev d was around 2002

if your buying it to single turbo it then buy one done (or a different car) to start with wouldn't you say?

agree - reason for different car is a non money pit / factory run around type item.

but then imo if you want wrx race car another turbo daily car (legacy) isnt a smart idea - its halfway land.

[EJ20T]

Yes D revs pink on anything less than 98, but the upside to having the 9:0/1 CR and longer gearing is that i can get 100km more out of a tank than my brothers BH5A.

[ODB]

If you want to do any modification to a legacy at all get a Rev C.

Rev Ds have det issues.

They are a cool touring car type and the wagons are FANTASTIC daily drivers/multipurpose vehicle.

Still got a little get up and boogie too.

If you want a car to track / modify the feck out of then steer clear.

If you want a car to leave stock and maintain/enjoy driving then im a big supporter.

fark that, STI power/performance FTW ;D

[pl0x]

I think a be/bh would go alright at the odd track day, no weapon but as Ray was saying thats not what hes after.

Maybe some springs and decent brake fluid and it could cope

Go the legacy, and yea my vote is still on a rev d
