Flat4 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well considering I'd already posted I'd been a twat and bought another broken Legacy that I don't even need when I haven't yet fixed the current broken Legacy, there's not much of a surprise! Still a bit excited tho This is probably the most local car I've ever bought so this could be a very boring thread....We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 After much spitting of dummies (and potentially valid concerns over whether the bolts supplied for the missing tensioner were the correct ones) we decided to wing it as we were only taking it half an hour along the road to get said tensioner fixed by tame Scooby mechanic. Cue me driving yet another Subaru with no aux belt, no power steering and no charge going to the battery, resulting in a lovely array of disco lights.... loserone, Exiled_Tat_Gatherer, Ohdearme and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Amazingly, YES! Battery lasted a full 30-40 minutes and even had enough juice left to restart the engine. Good advert for Yuasa! Now safely deposited with tame mechanic to sort said tensioner and give it the once over, before I start buying shiney bits for it, altho it already has some shiney bits of it own - Misbehaving Legacy also made it - the white one in the back ground dome, Jim Bell, Roobarb and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be showing myself up here but what does double L1s mean? It's slower on paper than my twin turbo but in reality today it was actually faster. Certainly no shortage of power and torque but it has an unfair advantage as the twin has a boost leak atm That looks lovely, look forward to it coming to Scotoshite! Not sure if it will be ready in time for this month but I am going to try to get back this month, in something, what ever is running and legal at the time! davehedgehog31 and big_al_granvia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Snap! Looks good, fancy swapping passenger wings Hell no! Haven't had a car in such cosmetically good condition for years! Such things don't normally both me as long the mechanics are sound but it's rather nice Is yours the same colour then? EDIT - just watched the video, it's almost identical! Even the sun roof, but I have a different interior. Is there a switch to unfold the mirrors or are they manual on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just phoned my mechanic who is fixing the pulley to see what the verdict was once he'd put it up on ramps for a good once over. It's rotten There are holes in one front sill near the inner wing and the other side isn't far behind it. Exhaust isn't in great shape either but both it and the suspect shock on the rear passenger side will pass an MOT, so that's a small plus. Now waiting to get a quote for the welding to see if it's worth repairing :/ The rest of it is in pretty good shape so it's probably worth saving but depends if it's financially viable. Actually a bit gutted coz I was looking forward to hopefully having it back in time for a full week off work! Not looking likely now....
