Have fun guessing what it is.

Legacy?

A Subaru WRX

a Miata?

Obviously it's a Lambo.

Dsscats > Jay Lauer

Legacy GT. Someone on here was doing an LS swap on one. Same person?

Jay Lauer > dogisbadob
02/22/2014 at 20:58

Boxer Miata. You're right on the money.

Jay Lauer > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower
02/22/2014 at 20:59

Keen eye. I thought it would take forever for someone to guess that

Dusty Ventures > Jay Lauer

2006-ish Subaru Legacy

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:02

Looks like a (2005?) legacy to me.

Jay Lauer > Dsscats
02/22/2014 at 21:03

Nah, I'm fixing this motor. I'd love to see an LS-Swapped one, though

Jay Lauer > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
02/22/2014 at 21:04

Close, but no cigar

Jay Lauer > Dusty Ventures
02/22/2014 at 21:04

Shit, you guys are better than I thought

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:07

Impretzel?

Dsscats > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:08

Is it a GT?

Beldrueger > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:14

No one was selling an old Legacy with a working engine? ... because if it was me, I usually buy cars running with all the pieces. If you are taking it apart to do a full JDM STI conversion, then I approve.

Kinja'd!!!

Jay Lauer > Dsscats
02/22/2014 at 21:19

Tis a GT. 2.5 Turbo

Jay Lauer > Beldrueger
02/22/2014 at 21:20

Well buying cars broken means you pay a LOT less.

Jay Lauer > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
02/22/2014 at 21:21

Falso.

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:24

outback sedan?

Jay Lauer > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower
02/22/2014 at 21:25

Right on the dot

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:27

What exactly happened to it that you had to pull the motor?

Dusty Ventures > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:29

Obvious Subaru flat four in the first picture, Legacy "divot" headlights in the last told me the year

Jay Lauer > Dusty Ventures
02/22/2014 at 21:35

Obvious to some, now obvious to others.

It's an easy guess for Subaru people really.

Jay Lauer > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower
02/22/2014 at 21:35

Did you not see the piece of piston that's missing?

Axel-Ripper > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:36

Looks like it was doing this though.

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:38

Oh! I must have missed that the first time through. That's no good.

Dusty Ventures > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:40

So what's the exact year? And sedan or wagon?

Jay Lauer > Axel-Ripper
02/22/2014 at 21:40

I applaud your music taste, and forgive me for what I'm about to present, but the title is too perfect.

Instead, I'm doing this to it.

Jay Lauer > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower
02/22/2014 at 21:41

Es no bueno, but we have the tools. We can save it.

Jay Lauer > Dusty Ventures
02/22/2014 at 21:43

05 Legacy GT. 2.5 Turbo 5-speed. Sadly, no wagon this time.

And I have no idea what it drives like

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:44

I see what you did there.

Is it the turbo version? I can't really tell. I'd imagine I would see the TD04(I think that's the STi turbo though) hanging off of it somewhere.

Jay Lauer > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower
02/22/2014 at 21:49

Tis a turbo, it's just on the back. It employs a detuned STi motor, with a smaller turbo I think.

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 21:54

Oh wow. Never knew the turbo was on the back of those motors. I imagine it's the same motor as the STi just a different tune as you said, but I think it's the same turbo if my memory serves me right.

Jay Lauer > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower
02/22/2014 at 21:57

I'll have to look it up. If it is, I could probably find a tune to get the power out of it. If it's cheap enough, why not?

As long as I can get it to drive, I'll be happy.

Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 22:00

I think it's just the cam, and the tune and exhaust that are different, but yeah. If it's cheap enough you might as well.

I'd be happy to have a car at this point. Still shopping.

Jay Lauer > Timmy - MINI With a Big Blower
02/22/2014 at 22:09

What're you looking for? Budget, location etc.

I'm fairly boss at car shopping, especially if you had a little bit of mechanical skill

Car guys without tools are like those guys who memorize baseball stats, and can't hit a ball.

BoxerFanatic, troublesome iconoclast. > Jay Lauer
02/22/2014 at 23:56

A lot like, but not exactly like the one I traded about 3 months ago.

Nice car, and once it is up and running, you'll love it.

BTW... 2006 WRX clutch and standard flywheel, rather than the stock sachs and dual-mass flywheel I have heard is a good upgrade, while the engine is out.

I just saw this, uh. You're gonna laugh but I kinda want a Tiburon (keep in mind I'm 19). I've found one. Gonna look at it next weekend, but I'm looking at a lot of other cars too. I'm alright with a wrench, but I prefer running and driving. It's hard to find something that hasn't been touched by Appalachias finest for 5500 bucks. Columbus, Cincinnati, Charleston WV area.
