There's a video floating around of a guy playing in the sand with his '02 or '03 Subaru Impreza WRX at Glamis dunes, having a fun time.
The AWD and all season tires seem to have no problems in the sand, and he cruises right up the big dune above the staging area, surprising a bunch of guys on motorcycles, ATV's and sand rails.
I have an '03 Impreza WRX myself as a daily driver, and wouldn't use it to play in the sand. Though it sure looks like fun.
Hell, those cars would be fun just getting some groceries. When you hop them up they can be real big block beaters, but that can cost some real dough too.
I have an 93 legacy that would be fun to drop that motor in for a serious sleeper. I love the space of the wagon and 30+ mileage.
Working on 250K for miles and she still runs perfect and scoots in snow. :Burnout:
wow, im so sorry for reviving this thread but this just gave me a go signal to get my friends legacy with 150k kms. well i wish i could maintain that 30+ mpg! maybe if you run this on sands you will change your air filters more often lol. i hope no one gets mad at me reviving this thread i will be posting here pictures of my SOON to be owned subaru legacy! yeah! btw to you have any subaru auto parts sites on mind better than the one i know? thanks
i use mine in the sand and the only thing i've done is recently break my lateral links. I hit the e-brake in a similar hill situation like at glamis to swing it around at the top of the hill. When the car came down it snapped and i heard a pop. If you take it in the sand, get stronger lateral links
Sorry, I can't figure out how to link the video for some reason.
