Hi guys,
So love my Impreza wrx but will be upgrading at some point, not for a while yet but want to start some research as I never do it and tend to fall in love with a car on the test drive and buy it without looking into it. So not this time.
My plan is to build a nice all rounder with a bit of a monster under the bonnet.
After watching the mcm build of super gramps and always having a soft spot for estates. I am looking at building a 400bhp+ legacy. Something that I can drive dally, shift kit for work, take the dogs out. But also have fun on some B roads, drag strips and track days.
I know I ask a lot.
So I guess my first question should be is crazy power possible out of a legacy or would I need an engine swap?
What would be a good starting point car?
I have been looking at a jap import gen 4 as it has the extras like si drive, cruse control and so on. I would like a manual over an auto as well but if it had a manual mode it might just do.
One plan would be to pick a good starting point car and have it shipped off to someone like litchfield or API to do the work. However if it's possible to do some of it myself I would be happy.
Btw its this or a forester sti but personally I think I like the legacy better.
So not sure who the legacy experts are but thought it never hurts to ask and see what I can find out.
Thanks
Alex.
