G'day from NZ

Hi all, I'm Ryan. I'm from Auckland, NZ, and currently have 2 Legacys. The daily driver is an 05 3.0R Spec B with the 6 speed. The other is my old daily and is up for sale currently, a 90 GT wagon with a decent list of mods.

I found this site while searching for braided brake hoses and rear sway bar braces for the Spec B. It's on Prova Eifel coilovers with Wolf 18x8 rims, Whiteline rear sway bar (can't remember the size, maybe 20mm?) and a Tribeca 24mm front bar with oversize endlinks. Now pics. Everyone likes pics.

Thanks. I forgot to mention it also has dual HKS Silent Hi-Power rear mufflers and an HKS Premium Suction intake kit.

It goes really well. It's due to hit the Taupo race track for a club track day in September, so I currently have a friend hacking the ROM to lift the speed cut. Can't have Honda's passing me on the straights!! :lol: I have been toying with the idea of a full dyno tune too. Apparently there's good gains to be made in torque and fuel economy.

TBH I bought the car with it already fitted. I work for Auckland's biggest Subaru dealership, Winger, so I get to drive plenty of these cars. It does go better than the average 3.0R, but then 90% of ours are the 5AT. It sounds awesome when the AVLS kicks in though! :D

Both are nice rides there Ryan.

Like the old school wagon... looks like it is fully kitted too. Sure somebody will snap this tidy example.

The wagon is essentially a V3 STi. It's been on the market for 6 months with no real bites. Getting a bit frustrating tbh.
