Gen5 Legacy GT S pack, the l-o-n-g wait

[PomBstard]

Excellent - another one! I reckon the Gen 5 GT Wagon I had for four years was just about the best all-round car out there - Readers Car thread here...

Really are great cars, looking forward to this landing

Cheers, I may have read that already

I'm quite looking forward to it landing too!

The tS model has five sti parts that I'm probably going to fit;

Springs https://www.sti.jp/en/parts/legacytouringwagon_br/...

Flexible draw stiffener https://www.sti.jp/en/parts/legacytouringwagon_br/...

Flexible tower bar https://www.sti.jp/en/parts/legacytouringwagon_br/...

Flexible support kit https://www.sti.jp/en/parts/legacytouringwagon_br/...

Stays https://www.sti.jp/en/parts/legacytouringwagon_br/...

None are readily available in the UK, so I found the stays on Zen market for £42 and ordered them...a bit of an experiment; will be interesting to see how long they take to arrive and what the final cost is to my door.

The cars export certificate is now complete, as expected no news on shipping

Ah the slippery slope of Subaru ownership... some things will never change

Fixed that for you

Surprising email this morning from Be Forward; shipping date of 16.04 with an ETA of 20.06, waaaay faster than expected if they are accurate. I also got sent a load more photos, which showed a good and not so good thing.

Good thing; sti flexible tower brace



Not so good; definitely an HKS Legamax Premium, but it looks like it's only the tips, not the full cat-back...hopefully the lack of the Helmholtz resonator won't make it drone/too loud.

I think I'm going to try and find some STI springs. Any ideas on part numbers?

Cheers for the numbers above.

I really enjoyed tracking mine whilst on the boat. Where is it going into and where are you based?

I had twin Nurspec R tips on my old Spec B and it wasn’t very loud, it sounded pretty good with a flat 6 snarl on wot.

No worries

Thanks for that, based on the clips I've listened to I think it should be fine.

Flat 6 is a bit of a special sound

This is also on its way from Japan...sti badge will be coming off though.

It's the optional Aero front grill, in the correct colour...much nicer than all that faux chrome
