fwa's '08 Legacy 3.0R Limited - A new beginning

[peugoby]

Looks so good! Great pictures, too. I would like to get my hands on a DA buffer myself.

<$70 at Harbor Freight! So worth it. Cheers!

[98legwag]

Any recent updates?

[fwa2500]

Nothing to update but another 7.5 hour detail (unless you want to count a new dashcam and relocation of Grumpy Cat). Naturally, being a black car it has already attracted all of the dust. -_-





Bonus accidental selfie


The paint definitely isn't perfect, but at least you can see the metallic flake in it now.

What's the offset of your rims? Just trying to find out if 18x7.5 et35 will cause any rubbing issues.

It looks so nice. I believe his wheels are 18x8 et48.

Yep, you are correct!

Thanks guys!

Apologies for the massive photos, I'm not able resize on my phone.

Added a reverse camera, it was a surprisingly simple install, definitely an awesome upgrade for well under $20

[Hinyo]

Under 20?

Is this an OEM option? bluetooth? how is it powered?

[fwa2500]

Power is piggybacked of the reverse lights, it was cake to wire it was the factory nav unit and works like OEM. There is a good write-up over on lgt, I'll post more once I get home

[98legwag]

And I don't have factory nav.....

[soba noodle]

Mine was about that much too or even cheaper off ebay. Works well after more than a year of use. Wiring is pretty easy, just tap into reverse gear signal wire in passengers footwell and into rear lights harness for power/ground. Mine is connected to a 2din aftermarket stereo though. Plug and play pretty much.

[peugoby]

That is likely the best $20 mod on the planet. The resolution looks pretty good too!

Car is for sale as I am moving and can't bring it with me. Check the classifieds for a listing soon.

[98legwag]

Awww. Where are you moving to?

[Reuben]

A place where JDM cars are plentiful. Sad to see her go, but I dear say there could be some exciting drives in your future.

[98legwag]

Like a 3.0R Spec B with 6MT?

[fwa2500]

Only time will tell

Holy necro-bump batman! No updates on this car from the buyer unfortunately; I do still sorely miss it. What I have instead is a gift from the past, for the longest time I thought I didn't save any videos after I did the exhaust but I have good news. While visiting the states back at the end of January I grabbed some of my old SD cards and hard drives to sort though and in that mess of data I found one. Sorry it is not a drive-by or anything but hey, it is still better than nothing!

Reuben. Now that's a username I've not seen in a long time. Long time.

We need a forum revival. Stuff facebook.

I fully agree, but the traffic just isn't there.

I've been more consistent in the past week than I have been in the past couple of years

Man... it's been years since this place was popping off. But Lord willing it can do so again

[Reuben]

Well i’m on here all the time. I get messages and PM’s multiple times a week from my TT info threads. So this place certainly is living it’s second life as an archive for information, something facebook is incapable of doing.
