Ha Ha, Yeah, that's why I like them. Goes and stops a lot less clumsy than it looks. Does not draw too much police attention, up to a point.

I don't at all like the last facelift model before the new current model.

Not this ugly nosed brute:



but rather this:



or this:



These are 04 versions.

I ran two Legacy twin turbos, they were lovely and useful cars to drive. Thirsty enough, 20 to 22 was typical. Current version does 25 maybe.

Tony's Spec B is the current model GT estate. They no longer have two turbos, but now have variable valve timing and one single twin scroll turbo. Lovely driver, my brother has the saloon version.

Glad you are sorted on the brakes. Remember Redstuff is a harder compound. It will take quite a while for your pads to bed to the shape of the discs, so don't rely on them in the wet for 1000kms or so, just in case.
