Year, Make and Model: 2007 Subaru Legacy Spec.B
Color: Diamond Gray Metallic
Miles: ~206,000
Transmission: 6MT
Title: In-hand, clean
Lien: None
Location: Sykesville, MD
VIN: 4S3BL696473201273
Seller's email address: dbrunone@gmail.com
Asking Price: $6000
Well it's a sad day but I am listing my beloved Spec.B for sale. I have owned this car since 2007, bought it with 10k miles on it from Subaru of Gwinnett in Atlanta, before that it was a demo car that was driven by a Subaru executive, so I guess I'm considered the original owner. Selling because I'm finally stepping into something different after 15 years of ownership.
Car is well-maintained but does have the wear and tear you'd expect from a DD with 206k on the clock, so it is by no means a show car nor is it perfect. Motor runs strong, transmission shifts great. No accidents ever. Full service history with all work ever done to the car is available to serious buyers (excel file). Has never seen a track.
Car is at Stage 2, mods are light, these happened at around ~30k miles and I haven't done much since:
--Perrin top-mount intercooler
--Cobb catted downpipe
--Cobb turbo heatshield
--Stage 2 dyno tune from MSPT on Long Island (charts available)
--Mod to use nav system while drivingThings you will get with the car:
--Cobb Accessport V3
--OEM blue-piped floormats
--Subaru rubber winter floormats
--OEM top-mount intercooler
--OEM downpipe
--OEM unmodified engine cover
--One new front CV axle (see below)Things I know the car needs at the moment, or condition issues you should know about:
--L/F CV axle boot is torn, I will include a brand new CV axle with the sale. It is not making any sort of noise or anything yet.
--There is a very minor valve cover leak. The car goes through about 0.5qt of oil per 4000mi so I am not worried about it. Subaru mechanic recommended not doing anything about it.
--Some scratches on the hoodscoop and a little bit forward as well (my 3 year old decided to help "wipe off" the car with a metal toy thing)
--Few other small dings you'd expect
--Headlights are crazed but definitely safely usable
--Continental DWS-06 all-season tires have about 4/32 left on them
--I somehow lost one of the little plastic things that covers the child seat latch in the back seatPlease PM me with any questions or if you want to look at it. Thanks

Is the car parked outside or inside ?
You may want to use some Tomcat mouse blocks. I find they do a good job of keeping mice out of the house, sheds and cars.
Yeah it's outside in the driveway, my kids toys have taken over our 2nd garage bay space :-( need to build them their own toy shed haha
-
What do I replace it with? I have some 1/4" fuel hose I used for my riding mower, will that work?
-
To my knowledge the buttons were used for sport shift because 05-07 did not have paddle shifters. Would be cool if they could be converted into audio controls, although that's probably a lot of unnecessary work that could be avoided by just buying the audio steering wheel buttons instead.
Ah, well mine is an MT so I assumed it was audio like mine. Anyway, I'll hang on to these for a few weeks if anyone wants them, will probably toss them after that
-
Those are for the auto. The MT controls have three buttons per side, including “mute” and “mode”.
Right its for the auto transmission cars, but the buttons dont control the transmission, which is what I think they were asking?
-
These are for the automatic transmission, not audio controls right?
I assume audio controls.... the original wheel I bought from ebay said "2005-2007 Subaru Outback XT Steering Wheel MOMO Front Driver OEM 05-07"....based on my buttons that replaced them, I think one side is probably volume control and one side is up/down for CD track, FM station, etc?? But just a guess.
-
Recently replaced my steering wheel with a used one, mine was heavily worn....anyway, I ended up with these buttons as extra....anyone want them? I think it came off an 05 Outback but not completely sure. Will ship to someone if you cover cost of shipping. Thanks
THESE ARE GONE THANKS
-
Any '07-09 LGT steering wheel will fit. The radio buttons and airbag will swap over. I have the DAMD D-shaped wheel, would highly recommend it.
For the shifter, any 6MT knob should work. I use the STI weighted aluminum knob (this one).
I have an OEM spec.B knob sitting at my parents' place that I'd be happy to part with for cheap. PM me if interested.
Got it. Thanks for the offer on the knob, however I just won that ebay auction for $3.25 + $9 shipping so pretty good deal. Considering most of them are going for $40-80 otherwise.
DAMD wheels look sweet but I dont really want to drop $600 on a steering wheel in a car with 200k on the odo haha
-
Replacing the wheel is easy. Watch this video.
That gets you most of the way there.
Finding a wheel might be a little harder, though the DAMD wheel is great and I would recommend it.
Awesome thank you for the link that is mega helpful!
Next question if anyone knows: Attached are pics of my steering wheel and shift knob. Both are just worn on the touch points so you can see why I want to replaces. Below are links to ebay items I'm looking at to replace it
Can I just replace the buttons with the buttons from my current wheel? I would think the answer is "yes" but want to be sure. Otherwise a new replacement wheel for me is like $375.
This definitely looks like it would but not sure if they changed thread sizes or something in the later years.
Thanks again for any help
-
So after 200k miles my steering wheel and shift knob "touch points" have become worn to the point that the car feels its age, and I hate that. So I want to replace with OEM stock stuff. Shift knob should be easy enough to find but how hard is it to find/replace the steering wheel? Never pulled a steering wheel before, I assume there are airbag considerations to take into account....
-
Just picked up some NGK SILFR6A's for mine...I read on this forum that gap is supposed to be 0.032", I measured all 4 at ~0.027". Should I open them up or let them be??
-
So you're all talking about Romraider parameters....how do these translate to AP parameters? What is just "knock correction" and "knock learning" equivilant to here? Is my car knocking based on this log?
Sorry I read this whole thing and just became more confused.
-
I worry about the disk more than the motherboard, but that's been reliable too.
On that note, is it worth it to go solid-state disk? Or does a laptop hard drive work ok?
-
Se here's another question....The Intel Mini-ITX motherboard I'm looking at has a min operating temp spec of 32F. Up here near Canada, it gets wayyy colder than that (down to -20F). Anyone know if that will be a problem??
-
Some say that the front bar isn't needed, but I changed them both out as a matched pair. It is not a difficult DIY if you have the hand tools, space, and a little time.
Can you do this with the car on ramps, or does it have to be on jack stands?
-
now I'm trying to think ahead 2 years.. this car will have 100k miles on it by then and it will be time to retire it.
retire it at 100k??? no way...i'm taking mine to 200k, easy.
-
So I havent read all 95 pages of this thread, but I'm sure someone's covered it....
Is this possible to do using the stock Subaru NAV touchscreen?? That would be amazing.
