1989 Subaru Legacy RS review from Australia and New Zealand
"An all round awesome car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leak, fuel pump leak, the ABS light stays on on, preventing me from getting a warrant, the internal fans don't work, the aerial doesn't work properly, the air conditioning doesn't work and the stereo is broken.
General comments?
This car has exceptional handling, and is very smooth to drive. It looks awesome but could do with a bit more torque.
So far I have added a 2 and a half inch mandrel bend exhaust, boost gauge and turbo timer.
If anyone could help me on some mods I would be very grateful.
Cheers Tom.
