The end of an era has arrived. I haven’t had much time to drive this car since I bought it years ago so it’s time to pass it on to someone who has the time to use it.

This is a 1991 Subaru Legacy Sport Sedan turbocharged Production GT class car which last saw pro level rally action in 2004 because at that point I bought it, daily drove it for a year or two and then didn’t have any time for it because the shop got so busy. It was logbooked at that time. I did a rallyX with it, and autoX, and last winter I did a TSD rally with it and spun a bearing which it was due for.

I decided to rebuild the entire longblock rather than just fixing the problem so it’s 100%. After the full rebuild which includes all new bearings, rings, polishing, balancing the rotating assembly, rebuilding the heads, new valve seals, etc. we started the engine up, let it run for 25 minutes, did the initial oil change and filter inspection, tested the engine, fired it back up, bled the coolant and I drove it a few doors down and back just to make sure everything was safe.

For those who don’t know, the Legacy Sport Sedan trim level (called the Legacy RS abroad) was made for homologation purposes from 91-94 so Subaru could use it for rally. They were driven by the likes of Colin McRae in WRC. Here’s an example:  
 ![http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/leebo797/Subaru%20Article/61_subaru_legacy_rs_5551993.jpg](http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/leebo797/Subaru%20Article/61_subaru_legacy_rs_5551993.jpg)

This car has the famed EJ22T closed deck turbo Subaru engine. I ran this same type of engine bone stock in another one of my Legacies at 33 psi for a while with absolutely no issues. They’re awesome. We have taken care of all maintenance including installing new belts, plugs, etc. during this rebuild because I want everything in order for whoever buys it.

Some major points of interest are:  
full custom rally cage - $3000+ new  
DSM 50mm Rally coilovers - Over $5000 new  
Multi piece under body armor including rally grade 3/8" aluminum front skid plate, LDPE skidplates covering fuel tank, rear suspension, transmission, front control arms, custom aluminum rear differential skidplate, front and rear control arm gaurds - Well over $1000 new  
Removeable light Bar with 4 PIAA 7" HID rally lights - Around $1000 new  
Fully rebuilt EJ22T engine - $3000  
Sparco Evo and Sparco Sprint Seats with brackets and 3" racing harnesses - $1400 new

As you can see it adds up quickly and this isn’t including the ton of custom work involved in prepping a rally car.

Some of the other mods include:  
Terratrip rally computer  
Terracon intercom system for driver and co-driver with transit headphones  
3" turbo back exhaust  
racing wheel  
It has mounts for the included tool box, tow strap box with strap, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit. The extinguisher has been tested and recharged and the first aid kit is new.  
MRT combo boost gauge / turbo timer  
upgraded bushings  
LSD rear end  
rally mud flaps  
manual brake conversion and rebiased braking  
fresh belts and plugs  
carbon fiber switch panel for the rally lights  
reinforced strut towers  
beefy vehicle recovery points  
short shifter  
aluminum firewall separating cabin from trunk  
dual spare tire mount  
ACT clutch  
hood pins and auxilliary trunk latches  
and so much more

**If you actually add the mods up they easily exceed 20 grand** aside from the hundreds of hours of labor that go into building a car like this and then hundreds of hours of testing and tweaking it. There’s no question that whoever buys the car is getting an awesome deal. It’s just a question of whether the car is right for you or not. I daily drove this car for around a year and loved every minute of it, but as a street car it’s not for everyone. This is a race car after all.

A/C and the stereo have been removed for weight reduction, but it has heat and it’s a blast to drive. It’s currently sitting on 15" Subaru alloys with snow tires.

The car is available either by itself or with a big spares package including STACKS of wheels with rally tires, extra transmissions which are rebuildable, a fiberglass hood, a parts car which also has a clean title, spare belts, bearings, plugs, suspension components and so much more. Anyone interested is welcome to look over the spares in addition to the car.

The engine will need to be broken in just like a brand new car would, but the car is otherwise ready to slide, jump, or whatever else you might do with it.

Asking price with all the extra wheels and spares is $9500.  
The asking price without spares is $7500 and the new owner gets to pick which set of wheels they want on it out of my rally spares, except for my OZ gravel rally wheels with Pireli rally tires which are almost new and rather pricey. These ARE included in the price if you buy the car with all the spares.

The car and spares package are at the shop for anyone that wants to check it out. If anyone has questions please let me know.

Some interested parties had me take pictures of some specific things so here’s some extra pics. If anyone seriously interested wants pictures of something just let me know.

I forgot we updated it to the newer style higher output alternator and that’s almost new, but you can see it here along with the shiny block/heads from the fresh rebuild.

I took a picture of the last entries in the logbook, some under the car shots and in the trunk with the recovery strap holder and took box open. They’re both bolted down so they don’t move. You can also see one of the included extinguishers bolted in place which I recently had tested and filled.

We cut the old cat off and will weld a fresh cat or muffler at the back of the exhaust for the new owner. Your choice.

Wait til you see the list of other parts that comes with the spares package. We’re cataloging the stuff tomorrow morning. Transmissions, axles, brake pads, rotors, top hats, rally lights, timing belt, water pump, ignition coil, etc. etc.

I received a deposit on this last night. It was sizable and the purchaser lives far away so I’ve given them a month to pick it up and pay the balance. It they fall through I will update or repost this. I’ll add the info on the spares anyways just in case.

I met Natalie at the STPR last year she was really nice and I think her team won the event and Rally America last year. It looks like somebody is lucky to get this steal. Good luck with the sale Mike.

haha that was sweet but that was my 96 Coupe. When that car comes back out it will have big sticky tires so hopefully there won’t be any smoke shows. 🙂
