Haha! My dad would absolutely kill me if I sold his superbee I don't blame you, it's a cool car. But I love my subie girl and wouldn't trade her

Fresh and clean after a bath new passenger axle,drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads and sway bar bushings installed this weekend. More to come soon :)

Added some transmission fluid this morning, planning on doing a trans flush soon and coolant flush. She is making a high pitched whistle sound occasionally when I drive her and accelerate. Have no idea what it is. Sounds almost like a jet engine when it starts up. Any ideas any advice is welcome

Thank you! Thats the plan. Maybe ill find me an old Honda for my dd so my girl can have a break.

Update on my girl, I had a mobile tech look at her and it turns out the battery terminal was a little loose and also the wires were a little corroded and needed to be cleaned. After that she started right up. Bonus tho, I got to drive my dads Mercedes for the day way too fancy for my taste... but just glad she's ok.

Thanks so much! Unfortunately I don't have the space to work on her myself and I'm still learning. I got separated from the navy and stuck at my parents until I get back on my own. Its tough but my one constant in my life is my beautiful leggy. I'll get her fixed up and running better than ever. But I may take my dad's advice and get a decent daily and keep her for the weekends for now.

Today my leggy's battery wouldn't turn over and I'm pretty sure she needs a new alternator. She also needs a new passenger cv axle and some new shocks. My dad is trying his hardest to convince me to trade her in and buy something new because she's worn out and has high miles. But its not about having payments, it's about the love I have for this car. She's my baby and I'd do whatever it takes to keep her going. Even if she needs a new motor, I'd take out a loan for it. Does anyone else feel this way about their leggy? Should I really give her up? I really don't want to. I have so many more plans for her.

Yes, true enough, I just love my girl and I've put so much work and customization into her so far. I'll probably just keep her for show and if and when she needs a new trans (she's at 182,000 wondering how long it will last ) ill keep her Auto and get a blob eye or hawkeye wrx if I want a manual car. thanks for the advice.

What year? Mine is an 05 some of my interior could use some replacing. Let me know what you have left.

@Febreze Meethank you, it is a harley Davidson color actually, my painter found it for me. I wanted a purple that was very subtle and there is definitely some purple in our regal blue so it fit perfect. Blue and purple are my favorite colors and yes I agree a car in that purple would look awesome!

I'm just curious if anyone has had to replace their transmission in their 05 when exactly did it fail? and why? how many miles were on the car when it did fail? My girl is currently sitting at 182,000 ( I am her second owner) and her shifts are a little rough lately. I do want to do a trans flush and pan reseal to see if that helps but I also want to be prepared for if and when she needs a new trans. She is an AT but I would like her next trans to be a MT if it's possible to make that kind of swap.

Just got her some new wheels and tires put on her, I decided to go with 235/45/17 instead of her 215/45/17 in hopes she'd look a little more beefy, I also rolled the fenders since I added wheel adapters to accommodate the poke fitment of the new WRX wheels. I'm pretty happy with the result. I also got her some fresh lower control arms, sway bars, tie rods and engine mounts installed. I want to update all of her suspension this year if possible. I discovered that her left side is about half an inch lower than the right side. I'd like to get some coil overs in the future.

This is my regal blue girl Saphira, I wanted to add a little pop of dark purple on the hood and trunk to compliment her beautiful blue. I always get so many compliments on her blue color

Hell all, I'm new to the group, but I've had my Leggy going on 3yrs now, I'm doing lots of customizing this year on her. Has anyone seen any good radiator hoses for the 2005 GT in different colors that actually fit recently? I've seen quite a few online when I search, but they always end up being for a WRX or an Impreza. I'm wanting to carry her blue and purple theme into her engine bay and would love to find some hoses in those colors.
