Message sent about the Legacy! Would be interested in STI block and WRX block for a few more bucks if you want.

I've got a bugeye wrx I'm hoping to finish the engine swap on in the next few weeks (hoping pre challenge) then it's going on the market. I love the car, wanted it terribly. But the sudden loss of bearings with normal driving is just leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Now... a NA Legacy wagon with a mild lift, would suit my uses just fine. I'll start looking after the WRX is sold.

Not for you then. The Legacy is turbo. And its a NA block Frankenstein turbo at that. Funny that it has been daily driven that way for 30k miles now and no hint of even caring. Go figure...

Here. I found some picture of when I stuck all the turbo bits onto the NA SOHC engine. It all bolts right on. no modifications needed. All just factory stuff used.

Oh yeah. The timing belts were done on both cars at 100k miles. Both cars are around about 130k now.

Here is the wagon doin it's job. Getting me to my other hobby, flying RC planes.

 

 

 

I designed and built this one-off Cub. It "had" an 8 foot wingspan. All RC planes have an expiration date. ;)

Ok guys/gals. Looks like captainawesome is pettyy much set to take the Legacy. Good choice! It is my favorite of the two. Let's give him first dibs. If he comes to his senses before Monday I'll let you know.

Captainawesome's build theads are top-notch, so this is a good thing.  If it does fall through, I'm in FL and am interested in the wagon.  Carvana just increased their offer on my alltrack so I'll be shopping for a new non-boring daily driver soon.  I'd need to clear it through the SWMBO...but she does have a soft spot for subaru wagons...so I think this may fly.

In reply to Hoondavan :

I'll be flying over this evening to drive the Legacy back to Arkansas. Going solo so will be limited updates on trip status.
