1994 Subaru Legacy RS review from Australia and New Zealand
"A few mods and she'll be threatening"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both rocker covers leaking.
L/h steering rack boot split.
2nd stage turbo needs replacement.
General comments?
Very powerful car that packs a lot of punch right from the word go. Even though the second turbo is suffering from wear and tear do not under estimate its will for leaving you breathless.
Handles like a dream around corners and even more breath taking at higher speeds. Has been lowered for more extra grip.
With a 2.5 exhaust as suggested from a previous review, she will have you panting for more as she roars better then she bites.
Looking very forward to replacing 2nd turbo.
