I bought this Subaru back in October 2016 from a Car Dealer in Tokyo, Japan. Guy PROMISED me it was excellent condition. NEVER BELIEVE Car Dealers lol But it's okay, it tuned out nice. I completed all of the paperwork needed to import it into Canada. It arrived in Vancouver at a port in late December, then got shipped to my house in January 2017. I've wanted a Subaru Legacy RSK B4 ever since I saw one guy rip past me on day in his RSK. After that day, I was set on getting one. I spent 2 months looking for one that didn't look like every other B4 in town. I wanted one that was unique and had a different body kit on it than every other B4 in Canada. After searching for a while, I stumbled across the one in this video. I loved the colour combo and body kit. It was in rough shape when I got it but I didn't mind rolling up my sleeves to get it back into shape. The whole project took 4 weeks to complete. I had a blast with good friends. Car is sold now. Defiantly going to miss this car. It went to a good home though :) Special thanks to Jakub S @yycgarage & Brad Stake!
Great times with good friends. It was a pleasure boys! Had so much fun. Can't wait for the next one!

I see this video many and always be happy to see someone love his car like this and check all details carefully

[@denniskanyimo4592]

This video was so satisfying

[@bantamsescort]

So satisfying to watch this video. Great that there was no talking, keep to this format. Even better it was a Subaru. Subscribed.

[@DayVB007]

I've still got mine, after 6 years it looks better now than it ever did. It's been wrapped in Stellar Black. It glistens in the sun and at night it looks frosty. It's a real head turner. Even the wrx guys love it. I'll miss her when I sell her. It's been a solid and fast car so far. Good video by the way. 👍🏼.

[@Nyjawonder]

I did a RHD to LHD conversion on one of these. Took me the best part of 18 months but yes. It works

[@Cydro12]

did you actually succeed? i've heard it being impossible due the the size of the secondary turbo, and it being in the way for the steering axle thingy that routes to the steering rack.

[@Nyjawonder]

@@Cydro12 Running and driving perfectly. It is the primary Turbo that is in the way of the steering rack, not the secondary. I had to slightly reposition the primary turbo, change it angle in relation to the inlet piping and reroute the inlet piping to the primary turbo. It wasnt easy, but the car works perfectly. I also installed a larger intercooler from a WRX STI

[@Cydro12]

@@Nyjawonder that's pretty cool to hear. nice job. however i though the stock intercooler was already of a sti? as its a lot bigger than a wrx intercooler at least.

Thank you for this! I'm 19 and just bought my first car last September (99 Subaru Legacy Outback) for 20 dollars and I've been trying to rebuild it with absolutely no mechanical knowledge. It has been a huge pain in the ass with no garage and very shitty tools up here in Michigan but I just recently finally got it barely running and driving and I'm so excited. It's way harder than I ever thought it would be but seeing builds like this always keep me motivated to tackle the next problem (of which there are many). Keep it up, man. I'm definitely subscribing!!

[@adambirouk4046]

Hello, I’ve watched this video countless of times. I’m planning on importing one by mid august to Winnipeg. I’m assuming the b4 in the video is a rev c. Which revision allows you to tune the ecu so that it can be tuned to 91 octane. Thank you

[@jaredwalker8685]

I believe that all the turbo subaru's are tuned to 98(91) octane from factory.

[@Samuel-bq7ny]

rev d is the best revision and can be tuned the most on the stock ecu, the rev abc have a few limitations on tuning but can be done by specialists.

[@owensharp8568]

Rev D is easiest to tune but also the least likely to need it. The older revisions are tunable with the K-line cable and need someone who actually knows it well.

[@skippylegrandgourou2069]

@@owensharp8568 Yes, if you are in Canada i highly recommand Project Lambda/ Drivehard in Vancouver. They tune tons of B4/GTB, mine is on 94. Without a tune or using 100 octane gas the engine will not last long.

In Japan, they have very small reinforcement bars compared to North America. But they have something.

[@MarioKay]

Safest way, If you don't have a power polisher, you can use Stage 1 polishing compound by hand with a microfiber rag. It will slowly wipe off. It's usually just water damage from water draining on your car. It's on top of the clear coat. As long as you don't push too hard or create too much heat, you shouldn't damage the clear coat.

[@AreadLeano]

Thanks man! I'll give that a try.

[@AreadLeano]

@@MarioKay Can you recommend a product and how you'd do it?

[@MarioKay]

@@AreadLeano most stage 1 compounds that you find at a body shop supplier should work. All you need to do is put a little bit on a micro fiber rag and rub it on the stained paint. It should slowly come off
