Car Info: 98 GT Wagon

Lisa, 1st Gen are BC (sedan) BF (wagon) 2nd Gen are BD (sedan) BG (wagon) and 3rd Gen are BE (sedan) and BH (wagon). We have no clue where to go from here?

Hey Glenn O, since sedan or wagon wasn't specified, her car could be the same as yours-- a BG GT

Also, H6 is just the 6cyl motor(yours is a H4) and the B4 is the sweet Japanese version of of slow Legacy's.
