Interesting! Good to know, thanks!

I like the black stock wheels. Was thinking about going for the same look on my DBM GT. Is it plastidip or powercoating? How are they holding up?

I wanted to add my experience on my 2008 5EAT Legacy GT TYPE OF STUTTER/STUMBLE Steady throttle/Increasing throttle/Both: Steady throttle creates a hesitation/surging effect while accelerating MODS None- bone stock Stock Intercooler GAS/OIL 93 Octane Speedway Gas Subaru 5W-30 Synthetic Ohio (midwest) MAINTENANCE Sensors changed: Changed out OEM front O2 (oxygen) sensor for Denso model. Denso model caused engine to throw P0131 & P0134 codes. Then had dealer change out Denso model O2 sensor for OEM O2 sensor Plugs changed: No Coil Packs changed: No OTHER SYMPTOMS Check Engine Light: P0131 & P0134 codes on Denso sensor only. Stock (faulty) OEM sensor gave NO codes! RESULTS What has and hasn't worked for you: As mentioned above, I was experiencing a surge/release when holding the accelerator pedal steady between 2500-5000 RPMs. I suspected the O2 sensor was faulty in my car and swapped out the stock sensor (87k miles on it) for a Denso direct-fit replacement from advance auto parts. It should be noted that my stock sensor did not throw any check engine lights or codes. However, once the Denso sensor was in, the car would drive without a code for a while, then stumble/stutter/surge and then immediately throw P0131 & P0134 codes (and subsequently drive fine in open loop mode). I decided at that point to have my dealer take a peek at it. They swapped out the Denso sensor for an OEM O2 sensor. So far no surging and no check-engine lights or codes. Additionally, my dealer also found a vacuum leak near the recirculation valve at/near "a bolt". They previously also replaced my "air intake boot underneath my intake manifold" which was damaged/cracked. The combination of the above seems to have fixed my problem and I am no longer contemplating trading in this car. If something worked, how long has it been working for: About 24 hours. Will update again as time goes on if anything changes. Update: Almost 2 weeks later its still running great and no stutter!

^Looking great. Love the wheels. I'll get a pic of my DBM up soon.

Holy crap, nice deal, especially considering the mileage. I just picked up a 08' Bronze LGT limited too, 80k mi for $14.5k. I saw that one in Austin on my search. Nice car. Wish I was back in Austin. My first LGT (SWP '05) is driving around in Austin still with the 2nd owner. I miss that one still. I saw the old girl at Flying Saucer twice before I moved away in '11.

Or a windows home server. Just built a WHS myself. Best thing I ever did.

Exactly, hard drives are a fickle thing and everyone has different experiences. Keep in mind that all hard drives will likely fail eventually. Realistically, I wouldnt plan on keeping a HD for more than 4 years or so. Personally, I've had terrible luck with WD and Maxtor HDs over the years. I have had at least 3 of each brand fail within 2 years of purchasing each one. I've also had one 500GB Samsung drive fail in the first year. So far my best luck seems to be with IBM (Hitachi) drives and Seagate drives, but your mileage (as always) may vary.

Porn Like I said...

They sold out. You had to be pretty quick, it was spreading across blogs like wildfire. I think the sale was only up for about 6 hours.

Want to swap my black leather interior (in GREAT shape) for a 06 red spec-b interior or an 07-blue/black spec b interior that is also in great shape.

Hey Jazzy, out of curiosity do you know if your ipod kit works with the iPhone?

+1. The stock battery is very weak. Mine has had a couple problems turning over in extreme cold before.

mwahahaha you sound like toshiba now.

^haha Bbc84?

My buddy just told me that a LGT was trying to race him along Lake cook. He was in his '04 Red Pontiac GTO. He said it was a silver or greyish color and had a bike rack on the back. I hope whoever it was beat him.

Haha.

Spotted: 2008 DGM SpecB in the north UL employees parking lot this morning. Who's is it? Thats 3 Legacy's at UL now besides me, and only one of us on these boards. WTF. If its a specB, I figure its gotta be someone on this board here. Speak up!

I just installed dynamat in all 4 doors and also installed new Polk Audio DB650s. Took about 3 hours all together last weekend. I peeled back the plastic sheet on the inside of the door on the metal (NOT the plastic door panel) and put the dynamat in there, completely covered it pretty much, and I must say, I am very happy with the results. What a huge difference! The car is so much quieter on the roads now. Very isolated cabin. The polk's make a difference too, I haven't noticed very much change on low end response, but the highs are definitely clearer and sound more true to life. I started noticing ticks of the cone on the ride symbol and high hats more clearly in rock. This is all using the stock deck. I'd highly recommend this upgrade.

Spotted a white LGT going opposite of me on Milwaukee Ave just north of Lake Cook in Buffalo Grove. I flashed my lights at you and waved, you waved back. Nice ride! SWP FTW
