From the outside, this JDM 1994 Subaru Legacy GT doesn’t look like much. The same can be said for the interior. Open the hood, however...
...and you’ll find a 2.0L Twin-Turbo H4 good for 245 hp. Quite an upgrade from the 165 hp 2.5L H4 found in the same generation USDM GTs. While there are many faster sleepers these days, I’m sure you’d still catch some unsuspecting motorists off-guard. Did I mention it weights right around 3,050 Lbs?
Find this one on Goo-Net
here
with 37,500 kms for 350,000 jpy.
However...
I’d probably spring for this GT-B, which gains you 30 more horsepower, the 5-speed manual out of the Version III STi, and this awesome ‘90s interior!
I don’t know what it is about the Twin-Turbo Legacys that I like them... maybe it’s the “oddity” factor? In the back of my head, I know I’d probably be better off and possibly happier with a similar vintage Impreza WRX or STi... but...
Oh well, I’ve got a few years to figure all of that out. In the meantime, I’ve got more current plans I’m working on...

Oh man a nearly 300 HP legacy wagon would be fucking awesome. Imagine the look on vap dude’s face when you 4 wheel burn out from a stop light.

difficult to get parts for, that EJ20 doesn’t share a whole lot with it’s brethren of the same era.
Probably the fastest (non modified) cars I’ve ever driven though.. beats a factory stock R33 GT-R in a straight line.

Depends where you are, and they share a lot of parts with the WRX of the same age, especially if they’re revision D or later. If you get one of those you can even convert to single turbo with factory parts!
I bought this one running for $600 to use with the gearbox swap for my 1st gen Legacy, so its not like theres a shortage of bits for them. A guy bought the EJ20R engine out of it and plonked it into his Forester iirc.

I’ve heard both the good and the bad with these... fairly fast, cheap to buy, but expensive in every other way... realistically, it probably wouldn’t be the wisest move, however...
At least I have ~6 years to decide.
