how do those b4's actually go?
hopefully they fair a bit better than the earlier TT models.ive never actually seen any on a dyno , or seen any being thrashed too badly,probly coz its all old men driving them :wink:

by **bluemaumau** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:59 pm

i thought b4s were TT? :oops:

by **flygt4** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 9:03 pm

they are , thats the later model version tho , much nicer looking than the earlier ones and rated with a bit more power too.

Um....Its a twin turbo... Look at the engine cover... :lol:

Gary what year? 1999 or something?

I wonder if they will depreciate like the rest of the turbo Legacy range

When I was fresh out of highschool (1998) RS Leggys and VR4s were around $10k. Now VR4s still command $5k+ and RS Legacys are like $2k...even a GTB is a $5k-$6k car

This should end any confusion :wink:

It's a 99 version. I was looking at a 2001 model but it had a good 30,000 extra ks on it :cry:

Yes. Fairly recent shocks by the look of them too

The B4 RSK is quicker than a WRX in stock form from what I've read.

That's Franks car which is up for sale.

That would be as pointless as sticking a TRD badge on the back of your SW11

my what?

wash your mouth out! no filthy 3sge in the back of my car!

by **ollieboy** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 2:47 am

I knew a guy who bought a B4, five years later he got cancer.

But seriously, its all shiney and looks good, I don't like Subarus but will have to now that you have one otherwise I would be bad-mouthing a fellow toyspeeder.

Good you are still sticking round.

by **Lanius** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 10:40 am

Looks very nice Gary. As much as I love older cars (*hugs ae82*), its awesome driving a last model with all the bells and whistles (and the new car smell!). Good job.

One of my mates has got a 1999 B4. Got it with a not so happy engine for $7000 (I think a small end bearing got a bit loose). So a rebuild with forged pistions and ARP bolts that cost all up $3000 now sees him running 20psi

. And that of course generates too much power for the factory clutch.

I dont know how long it will last on that boost, especially considering I know the guy who did the rebuild and he said he shouldn't run more than 18psi. And he has a very heavy foot.

This car could have been mione - but i know the new owner , and i know he;ll take good care of it otherwise ill poke him in the eye with some HKS 264's

May be over soon - we'll see about bringing another Ballzy Gt4 into this club one way or another if things go well !

( oh yeah - hi - im Stu - aussie - moving over in october most likely, and have a St185 that could have Ex garys 205's measure , were within 3 KW of each other )
