Hi all, I have recently moved to Okinawa, Japan from the U.K. and have bought myself a Subaru Exiga GT! I have owned 8 Subarus in total now over the years but needed a family vehicle this time……but I also want to modify it and get some extra power. I know there aren’t many of these in the U.K. yet but I thought I would ask anyway….what parts are compatible with them? Looking at basics at the moment like exhaust, air filter and intercooler options.
Thanks in advance.

 

I was looking at those, what are they like to drive?

They are great cars. It’s quicker than I thought it would be and AWD too. I got one here as they are so cheap. I paid just under Ł4K for mine with 52k miles on the clock. Defo a lot of car for the money! I believe the engine is almost the same as a 2008 onwards WRX but I am still researching. So there should be decent upgrade potential. There is one guy on YouTube that has tuned his to 400bhp but that obviously required a forged rebuild and other supporting mods as you would expect.

 

I've recently picked one up from my in law, who runs an import business. Paid a bit over the odds for an 08 Exiga GT, which to my understanding is a WRX engine on a Legacy wagon frame with 7 seats... I can double check those though.

It came with a hard shifting problem that was corrected by replacing a sensor that had to get shipped from Russia.

 

Wow, I like the look of these. Are they only available as automatics though?

 

No, they're only available in automatic transmission.
