- In this episode of Shannons Club TV, Mark Oastler and John Wright take things off-road with the mid-size Subaru that pioneered the path for a future World Rally Champion - The first-generation Subaru Liberty RS Turbo.
I had a Subaru Liberty RS Turbo. In Spain it was called Subaru Legacy 2.0 AWD. I drove it off road and in the mountains. I enjoyed that car like no other.
Good video but you forgot the an important bit of info. The original Legacy speed record was set between January 2 and January 21, 1989, with three Japanese-spec turbocharged RS sedans at the Arizona Test Center outside of Phoenix, Arizona. It broke the 100,000 km FIA World Land Endurance Record by maintaining an average speed of 138.780 mph (223.345 km/h) for 447 hours, 44 minutes and 9.887 seconds, or 18.5 days.
I worked for Subaru from 92 till 98 and loved these cars , had a black wagon as a company car for 4500 km's and then sold it as a demonstrator ...loved every moment of it and still want my own now!
My RS has just clicked over 410,000klms on the factory motor! on its fourth timing belt! Great cars.
mines done 404,000! - Good to see another original pushing past 400!
@@joshgellatly7704 Yeah she weeps a bit from the valve covers, but doesn't use any oil and still idles smooth as! Got a spare Legacy RS and an AUD Liberty RS EJ20G in the garage too, just in case lol
I love my RS wagon to bits. It would be great to see these cars get a bit more appreciation for how they truly set subaru up for what they would become
I drove a white RS wagon for about four years. One of the best cars I've driven.
I’ve still got my 1989 Rs type R here in New Zealand Best car I’ve ever owned bought it in 1999 owned it for 22 years it’s just rolling over 395000 on original engine been through 3 cam belts and three clutches mods are mags air filter 3” inch exhaust and B O V not much to put back to original have never seen another 89 Rs Type R Plans to recondition engine This year
I owned one with 395,000km when some clown in a Commodore ran into it and wrote it off… best car I have ever owned…. Awesome vehicle!
Thanks Shannons! Some recognition for my favourite boxer, and I on a very straight RS Wagon! And thanks to Daniel for wearing one of my Boxer Beauty shirts, I supply the repro stickers for these if anyone is interested at www.boxerbeauty.com
Great coverage of a fantastic car. I would really love to see you do an episode on the Toyota Crown,including it's rich racing history.
Nice exhaust & tune lowered nice.
I want one
@15:30 "No longer could you buy a FWD Subaru". Well, a little hack on the GT (and I suspect RS too). There was a fuse under the hood to make it dedicated FWD. Pointless, but fun never the less.
Rs with 200000km sold in Japan for $25000aud
i have one her in dubai dan only 20 k miles only
