A tour of my *ULTRA-RARE* JDM Import Sports Wagon

[@RPGarage]

those side skirts are an OEM Subaru option and so are the wind deflectors. I've got a 05 USDM version of the same car I've done a LOT of work on, check it out!

[@JL-qr3gj]

Excellent import Luke 😀

[@lookship]

Thanks buddy. It was a bit of an impulse buy 😅

[@tommidd5637]

Bought my twinscroll last year, beautiful car love them to death. As expected the mpg is miserable, you can expect to average 20mpg fluctuations dependent on your driving ofc. If you’re looking at this video thinking about buying one jump at the opportunity, I’d give it a half decade or so and I think they’ll start to creep up in value like the 90’s 850R’s. Underseal them and love them!

[@pielumax3301]

Same feeling, I had my white 03 Twinscroll Spec B for 2 years now, it's the best legacy gen, mines body & paint are in good shape, most of people don't believe it's from 2003 LoL. BTW, you can try to change O2 sensors on the CAT, might help to improve fuel consumption, it works for me. Now it's about 24 MPG in the city, but it's worse on highway because this car has a high final drive.....my rpm goes over 3k when crusing around 110km/h Lmao. Eco mode doesn't help at all....

Looks like an Emotion Fukuoka Mirage rear bumper to me. Greetings from Australia

[@benmulleady7266]

Very nice. Just bought a MY02 gtb 2.0l auto. Not delivered yet but looking forward to it. Went auto due to availability and they are considerably cheaper than a good manual. Going to get it mapped for UK fuel, underseal and then save for the 6 speed sti manual conversion 😀

[@loganduhaime6462]

Those door handles are held In by clips you can pop the cover and use rubbing alcohol and it restores it to new

[@lookship]

I'll have to do an updated video on it soon - that's exactly what I did 😄

[@loganduhaime6462]

It turns out well forsure I painted mine with wood grain finish

[@OakMerch]

The sideskirts are OEM Subaru 'sports' or something like that AFAIK

[@lookship]

Thanks bud. You're right apparently they're OEM but were only on the early models 03/04 😊

[@jonarne85]

@@lookship Hi there! Have to correct you on that one. In the sales brochure I got from 05.2006 it is a part of the aero package. witch was an option

[@zhilonghuang5833]

I believe that is a K2 Gear rear bumper, nice car.

[@cornybeef]

Booked up to look at one on Friday any tips on what to look for when viewing the car? Was already excited and even more after watching this

[@jons4686]

The wind/rain deflectors are a JDM part direct from Subaru. I bought a used pair from Japan for my USDM Legacy and sadly they did not survive the cleaning of the original adhesive. Too old and brittle. I really wouldn't have cared about function as much as the aesthetic. Nice car you've got there.

[@jedijedijedi]

great vid, very informative. how did you get on with this car in the end? did you keep it long? shame there are no follow up vids

[@lookship]

So the timing belt snapped. I rebuilt it. Used it for another few months and then a mate from school who'd always wanted a Legacy bought it from me. He still has it!

[@KiwiGraggle]

Lovely motor mate. I have an 07 plate Twinscroll. Its quite a classy vehicle in all honesty and takes my dog in Subaru own tray, guard, etc, etc in comfort. That aside, I would really like to get some of that burble out of mine. Not chaved up, but the type of burble you have on yours. I would very much appreciate some communication from you on how I can achieve this. I did hear HKS in-take, but I am not a mechanic or really knowledgeable with exhuast systems, apart from I would like some advice on how I can make my brilliant Twinscroll sound a little more Subaru. Thanks.

[@lookship]

Yeah dude HKS intake and an Apexi cat-back exhaust is all that's fitted to this at the moment (all done by the previous owner). It still sounds really quiet in the cab apart from some fluttering but when I took it for it's MOT last month it sounded awesome from outside. I was tempted to run a decat front pipe but that's when you start getting into "chav" territory as you put it 😂

[@Fluroenduro]

I got a JDM spec b wagon in urban grey.....lovey in white

[@Fluroenduro]

P.s the wind deflectors are OEM for all JDM versions

[@JordieMotive97]

Nice video mate!

[@lookship]

Cheers bro 💪 I'll have to sub to you on this account as well 😉

[@brendanshipp96]

Loving the wagon!

[@lookship]

Thanks 😊

[@ThinkingFaces]

STI spoiler is not originally glossy. is Matte.

[@mikhail8450]

The tac only goes to 8k, on my jam wagon the tac went to 9k. the headlights look different too

[@lookship]

2003 model?

[@jonodevenport6798]

For anyone interested in this platform, Australia and New Zealand had numerous specs of this car including GT, SPEC B and GT TbSTI with a number of engine configurations (2.0ltr twinscroll turbo, 2.5ltr single scroll turbo, 3.0 H6) and trans options (5EAT & 6MT). Plenty of information available on the club.liberty.asn.au forum going as far back as the first model in 2004/2005. I've personally owned both 5 speed auto GT Sedan and 3.0 6 speed manual Wagon. Plenty of trim levels to suit what you want.

[@robm805]

What do you recommend getting

[@G4RY1159]

I really like them and thot about an STi a few years back but these days would prefer a large boot for chucking in a MTB and the dog, the one thing that's putting me off is the mpg on fuel, especially these days.

[@jasonsasmanGTR]

I have the same car...just in a sedan!

[@TubeLadin]

Did you import yourself or use a dealer based in the UK? Currently looking at importing one of these or perhaps the Evo Wagon. Funnily enough I currently have an M140i as well 😉👍

[@lookship]

A dealer imported and registered it and I was the first UK owner. Gorilla Imports in the North East 🙂 Bang for your buck a legacy over an evo. But Evo wagon will get soo much more love.

[@TubeLadin]

@@lookship appreciate the reply mate, I'll check them out! I'm with you on that, it will actually replace my M140i though, so need something with a bit of character!

[@ttinio-jc1fw]

looking mate !

[@oranjedeur9150]

Original Subaru rain deflectors not for wind

[@charliewilford123]

Not to bad luke 👌👍

[@charliewilford123]

Maybe a little bit more spec, some people really care about 0-60s and things like that? Maybe

[@lookship]

Cheers bud I'll definitely be doing a few more vids on it so I'll be sure to go into more detail 👍

[@charliewilford123]

I see its your first one so i get why youve done it like 5 mins and that. Good editing especially for a phone

[@R33Racer]

Ultra rare? Wouldn't say that, but they're certainly not common. Probably more Skyline's about than this.

[@joeyd879]

Was going to say the same. These are 10 a penny on any import agents website. Cracking car nonetheless and the mods it came with are spot on!

[@R33Racer]

@@joeyd879 Indeed, it's uncommon given it's a manual, so that's something.

[@keithildinho]

What's your mpg like on a motorway run? these seem easier to get hold of than the 3.0 which is pretty reasonable on a run at 30-35mpg

[@naazimahmed9781]

Hi, is that 6 or 7k after all your costs ie customs, shipping, transporting etc?

[@lookship]

6k shipped and on the road

[@owenmaxwell2240]

The Jdm spec bs have the 6spd from factory

[@lookship]

The later cars do. Early ones like this were 5 speed.

[@coopsnz1]

GT sti is rarer

[@lookship]

Correct 👍

[@milkyway6724]

spec b STi tuned is more rare than this one
