I love those headlights, Matt.

My only update is that i switched exhausts on my LGT Wagon. Now running auto speed instead of the super loud Greddy Evo2.

 

Very nice look with the grill Matt. Did you always have the black "eyelids"? Are they CF?

 

Anyone here have a Forester XT? Most WRX parts fit it, right? Suspension, etc?

 

I know the JDM XT engine stuff is fine, but unsure on the suspension underpinnings. Are you linking at throwing some pinks on one? Also, go to nasioc.com. They can help the most.

 

going to be getting a used car this spring, and one of the makes i've been considering is subaru, because they have been really catching my eye, especially in this thread. Reliability is number one on my list. I also want a car that is fun to drive, actual performance numbers aren't important. looking to keep my budget at 6k. Anything out there by Subaru that could fit this criteria?

 

damn, every time i see Matts car, it makes me wish i was able to find a clean LGT in the timeframe in which i was looking to replace my TL.

oh well

 

Seems like clean, low-mileage LGTs are impossible to find. So many are riced out.

 

^ Tell me about it. I was searching high and low for a LGT (specifically a 5mt) with sub-40,000 miles on it with zero luck. I sometimes wonder if I should have pulled the trigger on the Spec B I checked out. The only issue with it was mileage since I ended up getting my MS6 with 10,000+ less miles for $5,000 less than the Spec B's asking price.

call me crazy but despite it weighing only 2600lbs. i would have liked to see forced induction on the stock platform. otherwise... im still excited for it to come out.

 

I'm not all that disappointed really. I be Subaru comes out with a turbo version soon and Toyota won't.

Still, 197 hp and 151 ft-lbs in a 2,600 lb car will make for a fun ride. When they boost it and it makes 250-300hp it's going to scream.

 

after watching that video i may want to sell my TL and get that car...

but i love my TL too..

 

Matt - is that a custom license plate? XXX XXU

 

Need MOAR GAUGES!!!!!!11!!!

seems like it will be comparable to an s2k stock. just seems kinda blah. if they do in fact have a 250hp or higher version.... im down.

 

An S2K weighs just 200 lbs more and has 40 more horsepower. It will not be as quick as an S2K.

 

which makes it worse. i was just comparing, didnt mean to step on toes. if i was disappointed driving an s2k, ill be disappointed driving this i would assume.

 

Finally





Lip came off today.

 

DIS SHIT IS SICK I PLAN ON HAVING THE SAME SET UP. JUST BUYING ONE GUAGE AT A TIME TILL I GOT UM ALL. MUCH RESPECt

 

Dealers never have any. I had to order mine in 07, they didn't even have any on the lot to drive. When mine got smashed a few months ago I was looking for an 08-09, nothing again. Of course I was looking locally, wasn't willing to travel for it. Oh well.

 

Too bad you missed this one. The holy grail of 4th gen Legacies, beautiful and tastefully modded. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthrea...le-176391.html

I bought my CL-S from this guy back in 2001 with 8k miles on the clock and all the Comptech goodies.

 

Very nice spec B. And they are tough to find.

My car arrives here in about 6 more weeks. Can't wait.

 

Oh HAI THERE! wtf is a clean Subaru????

 

i will be moving to upstate new york in the next month or so. im thinking ill need to replace the TL-S with a 2011+ STi in the fall

 

Very goood, my buddy has one.
full tb 3" exhaust catless, cobb flash tune bumping psi from i think 14 to 19 on stock turbo.

my legacy was dead even with his STI even with the mods, which made me lol, i think it was mostly because it was flash tuned, not pro tuned...the e-mail tune i think was running to rich and he ended up blowing the motor at 15k ha, he is putting it back to stock and getting it repaired at dealer.

I told him protune or gtfo

 

See the good folks over at http://vanbortelsubaru.com

Near Rochester, NY and they sell a few hundred over invoice.

 

ftfy

 

another 6cyl or 2.0T? AWD? and right now it just seems to be a rumor. the current R is a turd IMO. 250hp and barely a sub 6sec 0-60? bleh

 

Nope, 270hp AWD 6MT in 2 and 4 doors. Going to come in at about $34k.

[IMG]Prices for a well-equipped 2012 Volkswagen Golf R two-door will start at $33,900. That price will get you Bi-Xenon headlights, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, leather steering, power windows with auto up/down,, leather seating, 60/40-split folding rear seat with pass through, aluminum pedals, leather shifter knob and brake lever, Bluetooth and an 8-speaker sound system with an in-dash 6-CD changer AM/FM/SiriusXM, AUX input and an iPod adapter.[/IMG]

It seems like a lot for a VW but it's comparable to the R32 and is a much better car IMO. Plus a $600 APR tune puts it around 300/300 =o

 

is that a peel away vinyl plate!?

 

Scumbag brain made me do IMG instead of Quote

 

Thinking about going to test drive a 2008-2009 Tribeca. A little cheaper than a 09 Pilot EX-L/Touring. Any thoughts?

 

We(the wife) have an 09 Tribeca Limited, it is a great vehicle providing you get a good deal. Ours was fully loaded, 3rd row seating, rear seat entertainment, etc. Couldn't pass up the deal they made plus got a good amount on the trade in. The ride is good, engine has plenty of low end power but definitely not a race car. Maitenance has been cheap and no major issues so far.

The only downside to the 08-09 is that they introduced some features on the'10+ that should have been on the 08-09's such as bluetooth and a better stereo system.

 

I definitely want all the options, but BT isn't a deal killer.

I just got a new job and I'll be working with Subaru dealers in the Midwest so maintenance shouldn't be an issue. Just trying to think of what else is out there as I can't find a 09 Pilot Touring for less than $27K around here. I can find a much better deal on the Tribeca.

 

Well take it for a drive and see if you like it. I think the new pilots look more "rugged" than the tribeca, but I have no problems driving it. I took it to Myrtle Beach a few years ago on a golf trip. Had it loaded up to the max and I think it actually drove just as good if not better under load.

 

We'll have to go drive it. How's your gas mileage?

 

Not the best, heavy vehicle and awd. Not bad on the highway, you can get about 300-330 to a tank, but if only doing city driving then much less.
