Yea. Lowish kms, GTB, 210kw and reasonably cheap.

Way more potential from a rev D though. Sure it's tidy but it's not hard to get a good rev D's for that price

Yep second this. As long as you have access to 98 or a tuner.

I would love to know what a Rev D is. What is it?

The fourth revision of the B{E,H}5 Legacy.

i thought H,E was 3rd gen and L,P was 4th gen

Edited September 22, 2016 by TruckingChops
Forgot the E

[Andy_Mac]

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

Er yes, you are correct. Not sure what you are saying though. We are talking about the fourth revision of the third generation.

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.

Yeah that's what my old one had in the middle. Now sure though they may have used the same display for auto and manual to save money? People who own manual ones may know

[Jono24]

Pretty sure the auto redlined at 7k, the manual is a 7.5k redline.

its just a bad photo, that bit of the cluster is likely a shared part between at and mt. partsouq confirms its factory 5mt.

 

looks tidy enough, nice and original. 

[Dairusire]

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  

[sobanoodle]

Afaik BH/BE never came with 2pot rears. The only version that came with 4pots from factory was S Edition (late '02). 

 

Obviously there is S401 with Brembo front and rears but that's a completely different story
