1992 Subaru Legacy Rally Sport (RS) review from Japan
"I love this car, very dependable, it is a machine requiring upkeep to keep it up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After racing many ,many times, have found that I needed to replace the clutch, but this was a needed replacement anyway, just waited till absolutely necessary to do it... see, the engine needs to be lowered to change the spark plugs, so, I figured I would change to a high performance clutch, platinum spark plugs, improved wires and HKS intake and breather with Blow-out valve...
General comments?
This car handles extremely well, previous owner I purchased from took very good care of the car... I am going to change to 17" racing rims with low profiles for better grip... this car is very fast totally stock, have raced WRX's in Japan and found it to be competitive, due to bigger engine, but they have more stock mods.. with a few mods and improvements, say lowering a bit, it will surely run the line faster.
