[s-cars] Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B

[Taka Mizutani]

$60k?!? Ouch.

That car is a big sleeper, though- doesn't look much different from stock.
You need the aftermarket fuel rails when you go after big power- the Subaru
fuel rails don't feed evenly when required to flow tons of fuel, leading to
a lean condition in one of the cylinders.

The only thing that it doesn't mention, unless I missed it, are built
internals. At that power level, without forged pistons and crank, you're
asking for trouble.
