Isurujosh..in vain you sold your 2000 B4. Is it still on the market? Thanks Supra_Natural for that clear explanation. I guess it's all to do with proper maintenance but only a very few really do it. Partly due to the cost involved but then I hear that Subarus are not for the faint hearted in terms of money Small queries for someone who could clarify-when comparing a car with higher HP but lower maximum speed Vs car with a lower HP (in comparison) but higher maximum speed assuming both are turbocharged/petrol- which would win a race? I'm guessing it depends on the distance. Are turbocharged with Intercooler far superior to a set-up without the intercooler in terms of performance/speed? Are turbo timers a must have for turbocharged vehicles? If so why are they not factory fitted? Apologies for the long list of queries...But I feel there's quite a few people with vast knowledge from experience, etc and there's nothing better than that

I thought obtaining information prior to meeting the owner would be the best since you don't want to put the present owner at difficulty as well as the expert. But that's my thinking i guess . By the looks of it Muditha420 the most safest cars are the ones available in the Jap Auctions...unfortunately can't bring down due to time bar

Apologies Muditha420, I was out of the grid for a while. Managed to contact J @ Senok. Well I was told that it had not come to them for the last year or so and before that for short spells. He didn't comment anything else on the vehicle. But told me to be careful about the SL Legacy B4 market in general (not the car I was asking about) as there had been a few crashes I don't know for some reason I felt he didn't come out with the full details...possibly since I'm a newbie? Anyways; as far as that car is concerned the decision's a stale mate

@zeem35, I can just imagine your feeling…It sure seems to be a monster in sheep’s clothing in its class !! Problem is to find a good car L

Ok, will do. In the meantime pls. keep me posted

I had told some buddies of mine regarding my requirement and a result at last J Came to know through a friend of mine about a car that is up for sale. According to the information I got it’s an original manual and accident free and in good condition. The car plate is WP HD 3869. Does anyone know about this car? Hope I didn’t violate any rules by posting a plate number…It’s just that I’m knew to the scene and before actively pursuing I would like to know if it’s worth the effort. Any information welcome…

Thanks Muditha420. Cheers !!!

Thanks fiatLife for the threads...wow now that needs some serious reading, very informative fiatLife & Muditha420, ok so from your comments I gather that carchecks is the place to be after senok clears it..good to know, thanks. Muditha420 is there a big difference in terms of power between a triptronic vs a manual. I assume the triptronic must be more responsive. And thanks pls do let me know if you come across a good vehicle.

Thank you Muditha420 for your detailed pointers on the subject. Been keeping an eye on AL but sadly the divine machine I'm looking for doesn't seem to pop up there these days Your one's a manual? I've heard about Senok but not heard about CarChecks (assume that's what you meant). What do they do? Can they give heads up on the originality of a car? Thanks, fiatLife...will you be able to share those posts/threads on manual conversions? It'll be a great help for a new entrant like me

Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum and Subaru cars. I kind of like the outlook of the Legacy and so looking to buy a Manual Legacy B4 Twin Turbo. Any ideas on how to look for one? And what needs to be checked prior to buying? Thanks in advance...Cheers !!!
