BigShroom posted:Greetings to you Subaru goons from a possible future owner. I'm looking for an 05-06 Legacy GT and would like to get input on this one for sale on craigslist. Mainly the engine and suspension stuff, I'm fairly certain I know what AI thinks of aftermarket HID kits. Funny, I know the guy that used to own that car. He traded it to the current owner for an STi. I don't think it's as "half-assed" as nm says it is, but he's right about the price being too high.

Sabotaged posted:The regular iPhone headset jack does this fadeout/resume for calls as well. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're looking for, you can get a cable that plugs into the line out of your iPod/iPhone that has RCA jacks out. Then you don't have to use the dock in your car. I think that might be what you mentioned at the end of your post, but you said USB to audio, so I'm not sure.

kimbo305 posted:http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106147 lovely to actually see it happening, but that's pretty much what I expect techs to do with my car whenever I take it in (although I think I've only taken my LGT into a shop once so far.) Sure would have been nice to have that camera set up on a few traffic stops I've been involved in.

Amandyke posted:If there was no signal from the onboard computer that would mean that your ECU was dead. But if your car works, obviously it's not. More than likely this guy just didn't have the key in the ON position when he was trying to read from the OBD2 port. So he's an idiot. Not your problem. He could also have a pushed pin on the diagnostic port. Or an open somewhere between the ECU and the diagnostic port.

MMD3 posted:I guess I was just concerned that I'd be paying a tuning premium hourly rate for something relatively trivial... I've also had Rallitek highly recommended but same deal, didn't want to pay an extra $100+ premium for the basic stuff. I'd pass on Rallitek for any service related stuff. I know a few Legacy guys that have had issues with them, including one who blew their engine as a result of a tune they did.

FormulaXFD posted:For this guy's Legacy, is there the same kind of benefit on his car as there is on an STi by going 3" DP & Exhaust? He'd probably have to gut it first to get any power gains, not sure how much of a difference it'd make though myself. What he really needs is your uppipe.

literally just posted:What's a reasonable price to install 4 springs and a set of rear bumpstops (in Maryland, if it matters) I don't trust being under a car unless it's a lift and...I don't have access to a lift so I need a shop to install them. Was quoted at one place for $280, which seemed high. You don't have to get under the car to swap out the springs or bumpstops. I'd recommend posting on a regional forum to see if anyone can lend a hand if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. It's really not that hard of a job.

I've been running E85 again recently since the price doesn't jump quite as quickly as gas, so I still save a few cents per mile despite the 3-4 mpg decrease. Filling up more often sucks (especially with very few stations nearby that have it), but the extra 30ft-lbs of torque sure is nice.

Got my Legacy dyno tuned again by PDXTuning (who I highly recommend for OR/WA people) after adding a new fuel pump, 850cc injectors and an FMIC. Prior to this the car was  stage 2. 291/376 on E85, 239/307 on pump Very happy with the gains, my pump numbers are pretty much where my E85 numbers were before the new upgrades and the E85 numbers now definitely exceeded my expectations. Boost was kept on the low side for the pump tune since that'll be my conservative, fuel-saving mode - so there's probably some power left on the table there. This should keep me happy until my stock turbo goes out (at 55k now.)

Airbone Operation posted:now is that like a dynotune or is it like an Access Port which is from my understanding a premade tune not unique to the vehicle? The Access Port just allows you to change maps. You can have your car dyno tuned or you can get an off the shelf map based loosely on your setup. Or you can go the open source route if you don't mind using a laptop to load up maps. For a downpipe, you could get dyno tuned if want to spend the money. Or you can take a chance and download one. If you're feeling adventurous, you could do some reading and try tuning it yourself. Cozmosis posted:Gonna go look at an '05 Legacy GT fairly soon, maybe this weekend. About 85k miles Anything I should be aware of? Are head gaskets still an issue on this 2.5? I have an 01 RS, and I'm looking to upgrade in speed and comfort. Listed at 11,900, but hopefully I can get that down. Head gaskets aren't an issue. Receipts of regular oil changes would give some peace of mind that the turbo might last a bit longer. dphi fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Jul 22, 2011 |

BoostCreep posted:My plan with the Forester/WRX would be to slowly upgrade it with parts scoured from people pawning their stock STi parts until I had something that resembled the performance of an STi. To me it's almost more fun that way, but if I can find an STi for a similar price point, I would go with that instead unless it's a super bad idea. Legacy GTs can also be had for that price range with much lower mileage and a better chance of not being abused if you buy one from someone over 30.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:That's tiny! Surely the tires would get worn unevenly by more than that in daily driving? That's funny hosed. My tires are approx 3 mm apart which is double that but the size of them new are identical. Yeah, I always wondered about that too. I saw a test online once where a guy measured the diameter of the tire while letting out air and found something like -2psi dropped it ~1/32". With all the people out there that don't pay attention to their tire pressure, you'd expect to see a lot more exploding diffs (assuming the test was accurate).
