It's unhappy that it's naturally aspirated.

jk, hope you sort it soon!

Hah yeah probably... Poor thing will stay N/A for the time being,
CEL seems to now only come on when it's idling, so I can live with that for the time being.
Picked up some colour matched paint for it today, going to try tidy the bumpers a little this weekend (long weekend, yay!)

Also, taking delivery of this next weekend, hence the random rush to get the FTO running, gotta finish one project before starting another!

1989 RS Legacy rally car, missing engine (Ooh I have a spare one!) and seats (Purchased already) and harnesses (Also purchased).









Plan is to get this running for an upcoming rally sprint in April, so here goes nothing!

Got bored on Friday so ripped the front and rear bumpers off, stripped the spray paint job off, and fixed some of the fibreglass damage, then got some 'color matched (Ha!)' paint and repainted them with the spray gun.
Sadly the color is a little off, but we'll see how it comes out after a cut and polish next week I guess.

Got the bumpers back on, on Sunday morning, and took it on a cruise, a couple dozen cars turned up for the ~300KM return trip.

So crap all has been done with this car this year, most of my time and money has been going into the Legacy.
A bit of driving,and a couple of club sport events, but that's about it.
Got pink stickered for having the coilovers installed and no cert, so they came back out.
Warrant of fitness has expired, probably won't sort it until the new year.

The car is becoming quite rough, which I'm not happy about.
Would love a new front bumper, but the shipping to get one from dstocks to me is stupid, so am on the look out for a factory facelift bar.
Will probably also revert to a stock rear bar.
The exhaust also needs to become quieter, as I'm over the noise.

Just go steal Pierre's bar

I hope it gets some love, keep it alive!

Believe it or not, it's still alive....

Still driving every now and then, and using for the occasional sealed hill climb etc.
Still just as rough as it was 18 months ago when I complained about it haha..

A couple photos from a hill climb it did last year I think it was.

Glad it's still kicking about dude, at least it's getting driven like it was meant to!
