Hello,
I am selling: Subaru Legacy B4 RSK Twin Turbo rev.D EJ208 280HP 2.0L 343Nm/5000rpm 4WD RHD (Right Handed Drive) 2001r 82,000km JDM-Japan Domestic Market.
Short VIN BE5105706 (this is the short VIN found on all cars and motorcycles from that era in Japan).
This is the only Subaru sold exclusively in the Japanese and Australian markets with a twin turbo operating in the Twin Turbo system i.e. Primary first and then Secondary turbo.
This car does not come with the steering wheel on the left side.
The car was purchased in August 2019 with a mileage of 55,296km.
These are the last years (2001 - 2003) when entirely Subaru was made in Japan. Every part in this car has the inscription MADE IN JAPAN.
The B4 rev.D model sold was produced in 2,964 units in 2001, 2,477 units in 2002 and 1,890 units in 2003.
In Australia, the B4 model went by the name Liberty and was produced in whole 630 units.
Differences between the rev.D and its predecessors (e.g. rev C) include purple injectors with a whole injection rail - such as in the WRX STI, changed solenoid valves responsible for turbine switching, a flow meter like in the WRX no and other larger turbines (primary) IHI VF33 and (secondary) IHI VF32.
Assuming that half of the cars produced were wrecked, eaten by rust and disposed of in Japan, we are dealing with a rare specimen here.
This is, after all, a car that has been around since the first parts of Gran Turismo :)
Since purchase it has been replaced:
timing gear, thermostat, water pump, spark plugs, diff oil, rear diff seal, power steering pump seal, brake fluid, transmission oil, front right wheel bearing, cooling system fluid,
drain plug seal, crankshaft seal, transmission oil, attack shaft seal, halfshaft and steering knuckle, control arm pin, power steering pump o-ring,
pads and discs, camshaft and timing belt position sensor, coolant lines, fuel injector cleaning, fuel pump on DW 200, all filters and much more. In total, the parts alone were ordered from Japan for about 12,000 PLN.
Shell 5W40 engine oil changed every 6000 to 7000 km or so.
The car is 100% original and has no mod/modifications. The only thing that is not original is the radio but the original McIntosh I have so the future owner can replace it for himself and the rims which have been changed to Advan Racing Made in Japan of course.
The car is in normal use and runs 100%. There is no rust and no rotten cups. The air conditioning works in all situations and does not need to be charged at all.
The car is in very good shape and is very fun to drive. The 4-wheel drive gives a great feeling of safety. Bilstein B6 shock absorbers in good condition. These shock absorbers can be reconditioned. 2 year old tires from 2022 GoodYear EagleF1 Asymmetric6 . The car was not used during the winter.
Intercooler is in very good condition (ribs whole, tight).
Two turbos cause first a phenomenal start (5s to 100km/h) and around 5000 RPM we have a second catapult 🙂 .
This model is very easy to register as a vintage because it is a very rare model on our roads and is the only Subaru car that has two turbos.
Along with the car, the new owner will get:
1. the entire complete EJ208 rev D. engine with turbos and other accessories (to be picked up on a pallet in Warsaw on Klobucka). I bought the engine in order to forge it in the future and make a swap in due time.
2. additional front lamps from rev.C
3. a set of side mirrors
4. additional rear spoiler
5. a set of seats front and rear including door sides
6. 2 OEM spare wheels
7. a considerable amount of small OEM rubber parts not opened to the engine
8. a set of new MAHLE Perfomance pistons
9. new OEM flowmeter
10. complete service manual in English- over 1000 pages (normally only exists in Japanese)
11. McIntosh CD + mini Disk radio (this is high-end in Subaru)
12. OEM velour floor mats
plus things I don't remember about 🙂
Flaws:
The paint is in very good shape but there are a few small dents that I was not able to capture in the photos.
The rear bumper left rear is abraded (such came from Japan)
right armrest on the driver's side is cracked (you can see in the photo) but as there are extra sides it can be nicely retrofitted
the left rear sideboard at the level of the windshield is damaged by the dog (the wife's fault) but can be retrofitted from the additional sideboards.
two side slats (draining water) are scratched because the fairings were glued there, but they were broken off. They can be removed sanded and painted, or bought from any Legacy gen III naturally aspirated car.
The gears go in normally but the synchronizers should be replaced.
The car is registered to a company so I issue a 0 VAT invoice
Price 54 500 PLN
P.S..
In the front, this bumper attachment is of course OEM and it is ultra Rare even in Japan
