Saying Goodbye to my Subaru Legacy GT Spec B

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

While at an auto auction, I came across this 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B and ended up buying it. This was back when my KZread channel was very small and I did the body work and engine swap myself. What a journey. Today we say goodbye to the Spec B by going over it. I'm not crying, you are.

    Thanks for stopping by! Crazy to think that it was just a few years ago when I bought this car from the auction. I held onto this car for so long because I genuinely enjoy it. I'm under no pressure to sell it, but I will plan to start slowly putting it out there. I think it will give me some room to be able to find another project to rebuild and make more content. Wish it didn't have to be this way, but this is just life. 🤷‍♂ 🗣 Join our discord for more: discord.gg/WvjvHxYnwq 👕 Merch: my-store-d4267d.creator-spring.com/ ✌

    I had a AUDM "Liberty" Legacy GT years ago. Had the EJ20X from factory, it was a awesome revvy thing! The twin scroll was awesome compared to my blobeye WRX (which had a single scroll). It had all the tastefully clapped factory options like rattling heatshields! My local Subaru specialist tried a few times to weld it and stop it, but never could. I see that car in my morning commute, glad to see it still rolling after 5 years!

    The twin scrolls are wild even straight out the box. Just the compatibility in the downpipes can be discouraging since they aren’t really available here in the states without full fabrication. Not the tastefully clapped heat shields 💀 that cracked me up

    Great video, always enjoy your content. Sweet ride. Young kids in my neighborhood (Philly) would love that cat-less sound. How is Ray's learning to drive stick going? You should have made a video to help learners. I taught myself. I bought a stick shift and learned from there. It is just getting 0 MPH to shifting into second that is the hardest. Instead of stalling, I opted for squealing tires until I got the hang of it.

    @@bendaga I just remembered another "learning to drive stick" story. A friend of mine came back from first year of college in Oregon and his parents bought him a car before he came back. It was stick shift and they figured he could learn the hard way. He had a bad moment of stalling out at an intersection while trying to make a left turn. Then the horns began (central New Jersey, no patience), he then flooded it, couldn't get it to start, and had to have people help him push it to safety until he could get it started. He was so mad at his parents. But in no time he was fine.

    As someone who owns a 05 lgt wagon 5mt i think the swap to the ej20x was probably not the right choice. Not saying it was the wrong choice as ive seen plenty of people who have when their motors go because its the cheapest route and say it's fine but the issue is that its cheap up front but they don't do the swap correctly. The usdm ej255 is a single avcs motor while the ej20x is a dual avcs. While the ej20x will work and run just fine without connecting the 2nd avcs you don't get the full potential of the engine. Not sure what you did ecu wise but you need the jdm harness as well since the usdm don't have the ability to run the dual avcs. This is just what ive seen and read around so im not 100% sure what is involved in the swap and getting the engine to work correctly tho. My hope is that youve done it correctly but if not the next owner is gonna be confused as to why there are plugs not plugged in from the engine lol

    Subaru legit made no Spec B's. Very rare Subaru and much more rare than the STi's of the time. You will regret selling it. I know because i worked at a local dealer around those times and we sold from 06-09 Spec B exactly 8. They sold very poor due to them costing the same or more than an STi... You would have better luck finding a Tribeca! Remember that pile lol.
