hey! I'm wondering if you can help me solve this mystery. at 12:20 there is a nut with a spiked washer which has a wire connected to it just below the sti strut bar. do you know what that is and what it's connected to? i have that same nut but connected on the opposite side but completely frayed and unconnected to anything else on my car and i can't seem to find record of it anywhere. thanks!
Great story. Really enjoyed that history. I inherited Mom's Sube that I grew up in. 93 forever. Trying to revive her since she was landlocked for almost a year during the pandemic and the battery died. Replaced that and the fuel filter hoping she will not cut out on me like she has of late. Next survival/stimulas check, if any, will go to repairing my faithful Sube. You give me motivation. Thank you.
Feel you man. Just sold this one (literally two weeks ago; had to) and already know I will want to find another one day. Such a classic, one of the best models that reflected the vintage 90s designs.
@@SubaruONLY exactly watching collin mcrae slide one of those bad bois changed history for subaru mcrae and has for sure had an impact on my life im glad that car was in my life her name was Susie and I had a plan for Susie 2.0 with a turbo setup coilovers set of fifteen 52s seats etc i had a dream for that car ill make it happen
Bring back memories of my 92 2.2L it had close to 500,000kms was an amazing car. I’m picking up a 89 legacy 2L all wheel drive this weekend !! Been nearly 2 years since iv owned a legacy
So like 12 years back, I found a 5spd Turbo Sedan in near MINT condition for $500 in the Orchard purple w/ grey interior. I had it slammed on those same WRX wheels with an exhaust! Best car I've ever had n I'd still have it today if it was up to me. I'd give a limb to have it back or an identical one but to this day, I haven't found even 1 for sale since... in any price or condition
Sweet car! Im all about the first gen legacys. I own 7 of them, 3 of them being turbo models. you car looks great! i cant wait to see more videos on this beast
I've got a '96 OB Wagon with the 2.2L 5-speed that I bought for $600 that needed a clutch and rear main seal. Love that car. It has a "hill-holder" clutch feature which hold the brake until the clutch pedal is raised. Did any of the older legacy sedans have that feature?
It had all "new" aftermarket timing gear, but they left the guard off the top of the timing belt above the crank pulley. And I fixed the old shifter bushings which were toast.
I have a legacy from 1998, a question Will 2.2 engine from 1990 fit my car? I have a ej201 with less horsepower so my plan was to uppgrade, is it a better engine? Do you know if my sohc engine in my subaru is a non interference or not? Thanks for your channel
Very cool video. Owned a 1993 Blue Legacy (all wheel drive) for a long time. Best car I have ever bought but I was lucky as that was also the FISRT car I have ever bought. Cheers:)
Awesome car! On my bucket list!! I’d sure like to convert this one to AWD and find a 22T motor for it in the interim. I’ve been keeping and eye out for these used parts and will definitely continue to do so, someday this swap might happen!!! 👊

Hey, I just messaged you today! After I saw you're listing on marketplace and messaged, I looked up the model and the first result is your video, which was really cool. Really hope it doesn't get sold tomorrow as from everything you've shown it looks perfect and I would love to buy it. You mentioned rally cross in this video, and as a fan of rally driving it would be amazing for me to get it.
I d owned 7 of these but the turbo models..!!! I currently have one that has 60 thousand original miles. It’s a 1992 Subaru Legacy turbo 5spd. The best car Subaru ever made.
Hmm. Ok - verify good air flow (ie check filter), then pull those plugs and swap them out. Also verify good fuel flow if possible, but the plugs are the most likely culprit. Air fuel and spark is what we need and those plugs are usually the first thing that will need replacement.
Just picked up a 1993 Legacy FWD with 105k for $850. Inspected and mostly survived the rust of the NE. Just have to change the driver side valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket at oil change time. I'm not used to having cars that mark their territory. The owner had zero records but didn't care because of non interference. Enjoying your videos because you aren't doing 20k custom built engines. Doing real work is more interesting because the last boxer motor I worked on was a VW.
Quick question: I have a '92 Legacy wagon FWD auto and the gas mileage seems pretty terrible... It's hard to know for sure because the gas needle is so floaty. What's your average gas mileage with your vehicle?
Cool story about the knocking engine. You got a deal. You would think the guy would've taken the car back to the shop that replaced the belt and told them to fix the knock but guess not. Score for you.
Hi, thanks for the video. I got the same model legacy but with an EJ20 engine. It has been stationary for about 8years. What do you think I should change/check first before I get it on the road again?
Awesome car! Do you know if a 1999 GT-B 2.0 auto transmission is compatible with a 95 legacy 2.2? As I heard they changed the specs of "the from idle to take off gear position", to the second gear instead of first. I know it's a 4eat but are there different electronics internally or bell housing changes? Also the rear diff in the gt-b was upgraded so final drive may have changed? Thanks for the all the information.
Lol, yep was thinking the same thing. As far as the current value - that I can answer with certainly, since I just sold this car a coupe weeks ago. Sold it for $2200 after having it up for sale for $2400 for about 5-6 weeks. I think that was a fair price, considering I replaced all the struts, added WRX wheel with new tires, and replaced some other minor bits and pieces to ensure it ran great. Cheers bud!!!
Totally feel you. Same here. They have that true ‘analog’ feel, rather than being so insulated that you barely feel the road. Something about it just creates a more enjoyable driving experience!! 😌😌😌
Totally! The G&G guys are super talented film makers!!! Love everything they produce, especially the Subie ones. Man that swapped FXT is coming along so nicely 👍
500 bucks? Dang dude that’s not bad. I just picked one up today though for a twenty dollar bill. So now I’m here trying to figure out everything about these
Used to have one like yours, loved that thing, why did I sell it, now I have an Outback and an Impreza, but if I could find one like yours I would snap it up in a NY min.
Why the air filter swap? I would call that a downgrade. Sure it looks fancy, but oem filter box and filter perform better. Btw I have been subbed for a long time. Great video :) I was randomly searching for legacy gen 1 spoiler. I know I got a scoop laying around from dissasembling a 92 RS but I can't remember if I got the spoiler. Need to go check that lol. I got a 2.2GX, it's not mint, it got some rust, othing critical though. It's tight, sounds great with its original exhaust and got some kick in it too. Got some wind noise when driving I should have fixed noisy inside but I have gotten used to it. Got it 10 years ago and it had 275k km, now it has 452k km. I love it. The door handle is a cheap fix. Look up part number 62180AA010ML. The plastic triangles can't handle the heat, cold, door slamming etc.
Nice man. Actually agree with you, leggy came with that intake from the previous owner. And thanks for sticking around for the duration buddy. Had a couple breaks overs the years but now that I’m full-time YT/content creator, not going anywhere and only making better stuff on the future. Cheers!!! 👊
@@SubaruONLY Oh I see. Oh and such a rambly comment from me (I even forgot to say that my car is a _1993_ 2.2GX lol). Just keep in mind that those filters wear out easier than oem, and the air it sucks in is also hotter since it's sucking from the engine bay. By the way the door handle trim I pointed you towards is for the RS/Turbo interior which is black. I'm sure you can find the right thing if you're interested though. That's nice. I'll make sure that my notifications is working :D

93 Subaru legacy change from the tail lights making it look similar to the 1989 to 1991 model with the clear blend orange turn signal.

My first subaru was a 1989 Legacy RS and damn that thing was quick. Miss it

Thanks. Much appreciated.
Interesting story my dude 😎
Hi mate. I have the same model but iv struck an issue. Intermittent stalling. It'll simply stall whether I'm driving or idling.
Hmm. Ok - verify good air flow (ie check filter), then pull those plugs and swap them out. Also verify good fuel flow if possible, but the plugs are the most likely culprit.
Air fuel and spark is what we need and those plugs are usually the first thing that will need replacement.
Just bought one yesterday
Yesss!!! You rock dude! Favorite channel on RUclips. I'm sharing this on Facebook.
Thanks man!!
Question I am looking at 1 but it has reverse problems? But in top shape and only for $1,200 would it be a easy fix
No way to tell but new trans isn’t too expensive. Maybe choose based on worse case and it’ll that’s good, go for it!!! 👍
I had this same car but in green! The seat belt situation was weird.
Just picked up a 1993 Legacy FWD with 105k for $850. Inspected and mostly survived the rust of the NE. Just have to change the driver side valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket at oil change time.

It’s actually pretty good. Somewhere around 25 mpg. Cheers!
I did a road trip that was about 400 miles on one tank and i did math because it was a full tank so mine was around 30mpg

Muy contento con ella
Great story haha my thought at one point " the car is stolen "
Great find
So what would you say the actual value is on a 1993 awd
Lol, yep was thinking the same thing. As far as the current value - that I can answer with certainly, since I just sold this car a coupe weeks ago. Sold it for $2200 after having it up for sale for $2400 for about 5-6 weeks.

3 yrs till 30 Woot Woot
Then goal of 40 is that possible ? ?
Love my subbie ru
Is it necessary to fill the tensor with oil before install it?
wow very nice - well done! Honestly I prefer the 90's subaru's for some reason... just love the early 90 styles *thumbs up*
Totally feel you. Same here. They have that true ‘analog’ feel, rather than being so insulated that you barely feel the road. Something about it just creates a more enjoyable driving experience!! 😌😌😌
There’s a ‘92 Legacy for $600 near me. Debating on whether or not to get it...Any common problems or issues to look out for?
This legacy definitely earned an a wheel drive swap.
great video as always... BTW, I know all of you watched that G&G wrx detailing video, haha.
