The brother bought this a while back and has given up hope with it. There were a few minor glitches initially with sensors etc at first preventing the big turbo from kicking in. This was rectified easily enough. Then after getting it back from the garage he gave it a bit of a push coming out of a motorway toll and the big turbo let go. We got a replacement turbo 2 weeks ago (cheers Dar) and now we have been told that cylinder 1 is not holding compression.
So to cut the sob story short, the brother has had enough of the turbo Subaru route and wants to go back to something boring and straight forwards.
A compression test is being carried out this week on all 4 cylinders, so I will get back to you with the exact results for each cylinder.
Details/spec below:
1997 White Subaru Legacy GT Estate TT .
Blistein elec suspension model.
Rare manual.
Engine freshly re-built 5K ago incl new crank, main, big end bearings, new headgaskets etc etc incl fresh oil and filter etc.
Digital climate control incl air con.
Fully elec incl elec heated mirrors.
Momo airbag leather steering wheel.
Leather gearknob.
Twin elec sun roofs.
Half suede sports seats
Forge dump valve
Fully c/l alarmed/immob.
It is a really clean car and a shame that it is up for sale. Has so much potential. It is in very good condition, has a rebuilt engine (with a few problems) and the body work is in great condition.
Pics can be seen at the below link.

The car has only been on the road for 4 weeks since it was purchased so it is still in absolutely the same perfect condition as you see in the pics on the link.
He plans on selling the car as is. Hoping for offers in the region of 5k, but open to sensible offers.
If interested contact me via this thread, PM or on 0863535688.

Graham
