[geckoboy86]

Debating, should I keep this roof rack. Car changes it's looks from an aggressive look to a sleek look without it. The roof rack does cause issues with my aftermarket sunroof as it creates a low pressure behind the fairing. That cause the sunroof to lift and whistle above 80mph (or in strong winds)
I'm thinking about selling it and maybe later down the road getting a whispbar system as they are insanely quiet without a fairing whereas most others need a fairing to be quiet.

In other news. Got the H6 brackets. Painted too.

[Perdue]

If you end up getting rid of the roof rack, let me know. I might drive up again, depending on when and all. I say keep it, though...then again, if it's causing the sunroof to whistle, that would annoy the crap outta me.

[geckoboy86]

Sorry...Sold it to someone local (guy I got my WRX suspension off of).

Update on my car...
Well,
-No more roof rack
-Royal Purple oil change with Napa Gold filter
-Simple Green'd the engine bay
-Ordered a Green Air Filter
-H6 brake upgrade is just rotors away (need more money)

We did for a little, those have yet to appear online...almost all photos so far are from iPhones...
That photo of me and the car is from Bob.

Uh, I'm a photographer! Just sayin' lol

Well, I mean, so am I, but not as a profession. I just do it for fun and every once in a while some of them happen to turn out half decent haha.


Were you there today?

New Wheels....Now I need a color to paint them....Not sure if bronze is a good choice.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/05/IMG_3668-1.jpg

[chrish8r]

Plastidip???

[geckoboy86]

Dunno....Dont like all black wheels. Blends with the tire too much.

[amgarrety]

I actually like silver a lot.

[chrish8r]

I actually like silver a lot.

This is true. Silver does look real nice

[nikolaus.conrad]

Schmexy! Gold would look good, or Charcoal Metallic :smt023

[geckoboy86]

I couldn't help myself, just ordered $50 worth of paint (after shipping). End result should be this

[geckoboy86]

Having a issue with the new rims. Having a vibration in the steering wheel from speed at 40 to 70.

-Wheels have been balanced (by an untrusted source but I didn't pay)
-I have rotated the wheels front to back and the issue remains
-Tire are Yoko Avid W4S (made in late 08 but look nice, have 6/32nds left)
-Rims don't look to be bent in any way. I ran my hand along the inside to feel for a change in surface and found now.

[nikolaus.conrad]

Mine started to vibrate out of nowhere also, weird.

[geckoboy86]

Looking either like multiple bent rims or a tire issue. Anyone want to add anything?

[redlegacygt]

I know that i've had to have the wheel weights in my lgt's or else there was a light vibration. One had fallen off some how and it caused a small but noticeable shake.

[mlitz]

Looking either like multiple bent rims or a tire issue. Anyone want to add anything?

Has to be a bent rim unless all your tires are bad... the rotation of the tires would have shown you if it was a tire, just take them in and get a real balance.

[Navi271]

All the bent wheels I've had are pretty curb rashed, it looks like they hit the curb hard enough to possibly bend the wheel. I had a problem with one set of wheels, that were not bent, where I could never get the balanced correctly. It could have been the place I was taking them to. I also though it could be the tires. I had low pro Falken's, very stiff sidewalls, and the tread wore a little funny. I feel like that could have made my wheels vibrate a bit.

You can try getting a high speed balancing too. More expensive tho.

[geckoboy86]

Mine have some rash but not much.

[nikolaus.conrad]

Do you think your car is out of alignment?

[geckoboy86]

I know it is out of allignment. The issue is that is only does it with the new 17s but not my old 16s.

[redlegacygt]

then this may sound silly, is it because the extra weight of those 17's that now it being out of alignment is more noticeable?

[geckoboy86]

Actually...my 2008 2.5i rims weigh in at the same as these LGTs.
20.5 lbs.
A few people told me it might be in the tire. They might have a different geometry from the suspension of the 2005 Legacy. Or maybe just a bad belt or something.
I kinda think it might be from being a used tire from the 2005, because why would it remain even if wheels were rotated.

When you got yours, did you get new tires or did they come with a used tire?

I used Dupli-Color's HWP105 Bronze. Ordered it from http://www.tcpglobal.com/spraypaintdepot/DC-wheel.aspx

I love the bronze, works well on lighter colored cars. Isn't overplayed like gold wheels and draws less attention. We can let the Impreza's have their gold.

Sorry i just noticed your question. I got mine with used tires that were decently worn. There was a slight wobble but it was way out of alignment at that time.

[geckoboy86]

Got a new grille. Only took a few months of asking around.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/06/IMG_0834-1.jpg

I will be painting the emblem and making a DIY on it.

[chrish8r]

What kind of grille is that?? It looks really good

[geckoboy86]

Its a 99 Legacy Outback SUS grille. Only offered on that model to my knowledge.

[geckoboy86]

This is what happens when I get home, kinda depressed, and bored. (Plus the bulb just burned out and I wanted to poke at it)

Just ordered some new Hella high beam bulbs (yellow) and some new spark plugs.

Which Hella bulbs did you get? I have the Yellow Stars in my fogs. They aren't very yellow but they make anything reflective like street signs and animal eyes glow like mofo.

[geckoboy86]

Ya...Its Yellow Stars. I know they won't be super yellow but I want something better in my JDM high beam. I have nice low beam bulbs.

I heard thats where they really shine at...PIAA seems to be the only thing better but with HELLA costing less then half the price, I'll take those.

[98legwag]

Half the price is good. What bulbs do you have in the projectors?

[geckoboy86]

They are:
H1 low - I believe they are PIAA, They came with the lights. Original owner put money into them.
H3 high - Look like basic bulbs
168 city - I have LEDs in here.

[geckoboy86]

Well...Im bored so I took a picture of my original window sticker.

I love when Subaru's have yellow lights on it somewhere.....looks cool and I bet it lights up the roads like crazy

[geckoboy86]

It does a bit better in distance I think. Big improvement in the road signs department.
I have to determine now if I want to keep high beam on with low beam or do I want to sperate them.

[Grafton]

well they're supposed to on together for the high beams and it really helps for light output

[geckoboy86]

Got new NGK Wires and Iridium Plugs.

[geckoboy86]

So....Sorry for the lack of updates on my car. Stuff kinda got crazy recently.
Well...Got a new job (full time at a tech store vs old part-time arcade) and I'm moving in with a friend and splitting the rent. If money looks right, I might get a newer car. I'll probably give my legacy to my dad (in a close to stock form).

Nothing is set in stone yet on that last part.

[redlegacygt]

Congrat's on the new job man! Hope all works out with the new car even though i liked the old one..lol

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Congrats! I really do hope you stay active if you don't purchase a legacy.

[geckoboy86]

Oh...I'm not leaving this site...


If I can and money is right, I plan on an 4th gen outback (XT preferred) or a Forester XT. If not, well, I don't know then.

What do you mean, they are designed, and run from factory with the low staying on while the highbeam is on... Turning the low beam off will mean you have less light than subaru intended when you have your highs on! Projector headlights are all about getting a feckload of light out on the road!!! (Pre HID days)

US models dont leave both lights on. Well, not when you put JDM headlight on them. Its in the wiring.

In other news all that talk before with moving has happened. And I now have the best modification. A Garage.

Wow! That's a hell of a garage! Storage and a peg board, not to mention the shelter from the elements, all things I wish I had :razz:

I'm very impressed with that garage. Haha

[98legwag]

Thats a nice looking garage. Mine is a freaking mess.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

needs more clutter

[chrish8r]

and you even have carpet in your garage!! nice

[Perdue]

Getting a place with a garage is definitely one of the better things I have ever done. Granted, it has slowed down my modifications, but it is great to have somewhere sheltered to work on your car, especially when it is a multi-day process.

[geckoboy86]

Not much has changed, been working my ass off lately so I havent been here much or even been at many meets lately.

Im looking to get a new set of rims. 16s or 17s. OEM preferred.
I dont what it is with me and rims, I just cant seem to settle on a single set.

[98legwag]

I vote for these.

[amgarrety]

I've missed the updates, I hope you get some free time because I like watching your build. And now that you have a garage, that is opportunity for year round awesomeness.

I kind of think 98legwag's suggestion for rims is a cool idea. I like those rims.

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

I agree with 98legwag, GET THOSE RIMS!

[geckoboy86]

I do like those rims. I'm trying to stay away from 17s right now (rather harsh ride with my suspension setup). Though if I found some V7s, I'd be all over them.

[geckoboy86]

Well, In an interesting turn of events, I might be looking into getting a 4th gen GT wagon instead of the 04 Forester XT. I found one locally.

Well...A set back... Some snow we got. Plus it being the first time on certain roads where I moved to equaled be bouncing off a curb (twice, First hit had a small bounce back off for a second hit) at low speeds but still hard enough. Looking at about 900 in damages. Worst part about is I was trying to drive safe when it happened. If I would have been being reckless, it wouldnt feel nearly as bad and like my own dumb fault.

I've benn considering borrowing your URV designation, cause it fits what I have targeted for my project! I have told many people in my moto circle of friends and forums, "If you want to prctice for running the Dakar Rallye Raid or the Mexican 1000, come to Oakland for 2 months. Our good roads aspire to be poor Mexican dirt roads when they grow up!"

3.0R won't have turbo lag. But it won't have the availability of tuning parts.

I will miss the tuning but no care about the lack of aftermarket parts. I haven't had time. That can be seen even by this members ride page. I kinda dropped off the face of the earth.

Final time it'll be in the garage.

So, what's the plan for it?

[geckoboy86]

It's having a mini-partout and then will either be sold or given to a family member.

Well your 2nd gen was a cool car, but congrats on the 4th gen!

It's now no longer mine. Its in the hands of my mother.

Just drove this car for the first time since July 2nd.
God do I miss it and its rumble. It's EJ22e feels like it could beat an EJ252 (the one in my mother boyfriends forester).

Well... She got traded in by my mother. My mother now owns my Outbacks twin.
Its not quite a twin but its close. Mine is 2006 OBP Outback Sedan LL Bean 3.0R with Nav. Hers is a 2006 OBP Outback Sedan 2.5i Limited. She has black interior and I have tan. She has a wingless trunk that I will be stealing.

I feel like a little piece of me has died though with my old car being gone.

You gonna steal her interior, too?

Blacked out the headlights while waiting on my repairs.
This is my spare/test model.

For your turn signal bulb what kind did you use? I like that reflective bulb color. I plan to do my retrofit in my 01 headlight fixture soon and I cant find those style signal bulbs for the life of me! Looks clean on your legacy.

Those look to be similar or the same as mine, I'm running Sylvania SilverStar 1157A

Not sure. It was one of those random auto part store stops and they were there. I had those since my Civic.

I just reread this from page 1. Love this car.
