I am selling my 1998 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon. The car is in excellent shape runs and drives great. It has your normal wear and tear for a 1998 but there is no rust and the interior is in excellent shape with no rips. There is however a stain in the back right behind the center console other then that it is excellent. This car started out as a project car and now that the project is as far as I want to take it I have to sell this one before I start another one. Here is a list of what is done and what needs done still.
- JDM ej25 NA motor (approx. 65k miles on the motor the body has 168k) Since Subarus are notorious for having the stock head gaskets go wrong I purchased and had all new gaskets from the heads up put on.
-slotted brakes installed 1 year ago
-exedy oem replacement clutch (installed about 1700 miles ago)
-lowered on B&G lowering springs stock struts
-17 inch wheels (tires still have alot of tread on them .Car will also come with stock 16 inch snowflake wheels with all season tires on them which have less then 1200 miles driven on them)
-JDM front grill
-JDM projector headlights with 55w 8000k hid conversion
-3 inch obx rear section
Now on to the bad.
-The rear passenger struts seems to knock sometimes when you go over a bump I believe the top strut mount needs to be snugged up (everyone else tells me they can't hear it but I can)
-The shifter has alot of side to side play when its in gear so the shifter knuckle needs replaced
-Since I live in PA I only have a visual emissions inspection and since this is a JDM engine there is no EGR valve so this causes the CEL to stay on . There is a fairly simple way to fix this you just need to have the USDM intake manifold installed (which it already is) Then drill and tap a hole in the block the spot is already marked with a dimple so you know exactly where to drill. Then install the EGR and the CEL will go away. Like I said I don't need to bother with this since I'm in PA so I haven't.
-When all the gaskets were installed some oil was spilled on the motor itself so when it warms up you will sometimes get a faint smell. At first I thought it was leaking so I took it back to the shop where the work was done and they checked over it and there are no leaks that was about 6 months ago and I just got a oil change and things are still good and I check my fluid levels frequently and nothing is disappearing.
I believe I have covered everything but if there are any questions feel free to contact me and good luck bidding. I will also have the car completely detailed before the new owner receives it

Subaru updates EyeSight system with color-detecting cameras
Sun, 26 Jan 2014Subaru is giving its EyeSight driver assistance camera system a major upgrade for the 2015 model year with new color cameras, as well as reducing its size by 15 percent over the rather bulky original system.
Subaru locates its EyeSight hardware inside the vehicle at the top of the windshield, which is unlike most other camera-based systems that have their hardware mounted somewhere in the front fascia. The benefit is that these rather expensive components are protected from any detritus that may hit the car, but the original system's size ate up a chunk of the driver's outward view. Thus, the shrinkage should be appreciated by new owners.
The upgraded stereo cameras have a 40-percent longer and wider detection range than the original system's cameras, and their ability to see color allows the system to recognize brake lights at a speed differential of 30 miles per hour, instead of 19 mph before. And as before, EyeSight continues to offer adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and pre-collision breaking that can slow the car automatically if an imminent accident is detected, even bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.
Subaru recalls new Forester over pedal entrapment fears
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Pedal entrapment and unintended acceleration are hot-button topics these days, so automakers are always staying alert for potential problems. For Subaru and its newly introduced 2014 Forester, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall due to improperly manufactured floor mats that could become an obstruction for the gas, brake or clutch pedals. The good news, of course, is that even if drivers experience this problem, the 2014 Forester comes standard with brake override.
At issue with the floor mats on 10,137 Forester models built between January and March of this year is that the resin material used on the underside of the mats can curl when exposed to heat. If the leading edge of the driver's mat curls enough, it can come in contact with the pedals making acceleration, braking and shifting more difficult - possibly resulting in a crash. To fix the problem, Subaru is replacing the entire set of floor mats in all of the affected units. The official NHTSA recall notice is posted below.
