Subaru Information webpages

These web pages have been written by a Subaru enthusiast for use by fellow enthusiasts, and are intended to bring together the bits of information found over several years of Subaru ownership. Most of the information is related to JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) Legacy models, built between 1990 and 2005, but other models are included. It is not a comprehensive guide, and has no connection to Subaru or any other business or dealership. If and when more information is found the web pages will be updated.
