Has anyone considered switching to an LED replacement? They have been making amazing progress with LED replacements in the last couple of years.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I couldn't find a thread about it after searching...

 

Is there a way to wire it so your parking lights are not on with your headlights? I'm not a fan of the big blocks of orange at night, I would prefer just the round fogs and headlights.

 

I'm not quite sure how you could do something like this and still have tail lights except for just removing the front parking light bulbs. But doing that might eliminate your front turn signals.

Hi my friendz tell me that if you feed many washer thru the airfilter while then engine is running it will shape the exhaust valves to make the boxerrumble again. Itz cool to try this?

 

Well that certainly is one way to increase the noise level from your Legacy but I suspect it might only work short term.

Long ass thread, but anyone had issues with the Rallye+ lights he recommended?

I stuck them in perfectly good headlights and after a few months, I had a discoloration (which I believe to be melted plastic) right at the focus point of the light.

Never again. (This was a few years ago)

Maybe it is just an isolated incident but buyer beware.

 

I've been using the Osram Rallye 65w Ultra High Output H7 Special-Service Bulbs since September 2009 without noticing any ill effects. I need to looking into buying a new set for my wife's Hyundai Sonata.

You want the 100% Independent Fog Light Mod (NO WIRE CUTTING/SPLICING).

Beautiful!!! Almost too nice to put into an exhaust system. I suspect that piece raises the cost of this mod a bit.

I bought a propane torch but have had no luck with it. I did buy some new hardware and washers though so it will happen eventually.

 

Have you considered an impact wrench?

Although LEDs can be very bright the current technology does not project light far enough forward to replace halogen bulbs or hid capsules for high beams or long range driving lights. The best usage for LEDs at this time appears to be for fog lights.

I just wish MadDad made a whisper system for the LGT. It sounds SO good.

May be if enough people request it MadDad will offer at least an Axleback for the Legacy 2.5 GT.

Unfortunately I can't say the same for my 3.0R. Its a completely different sound! I put the washers on last night (2 on each bolt) and it just sounds weird. It vaguely reminds me of a Porsche wound out, but not quite.

 

Since they both are flat six cylinder boxer engines, it's logical that it should sound like a Porsche. Just so long as it doesn't sound like an air cooled Porsche 6 cylinder from the '60s.

someone should write SOA. Maybe they'll give me a old test mule Legacy. That'd be sweet. I could spread the word!

 

If SOA finds out about the Hogzaust mod they will probably use it as an excuse to deny warranty coverage for blown turbos.

here goes mine

Noeladams, I like your vids. How many washers per bolt did you do?

I have done another mod to my car that is kinda cool... I can turn on my fog lights with my parking lights not head lights the way the foctory had it set up so here is the link to where to find the how to of doing this mod to your lights. Good luck.

 

LINK? LINK?

 

Boxer2.5power, where is the link?

With modern cars, if you turn off the ignition, the fuel pump and injectors are shut off too, so you won't get raw fuel dumped into the exhaust like you could on older cars.

 

I did that too on occasion with my older cars. It doesn't work anymore.

 

But it still works great on a motorcycle with carbs. I love to do it in the Holland Tunnel, on Gooch's Garlic Run, when being followed by a group of Harley lifesavers with straight pipes. I don't know which gets their attention better, the big bang..... or the 3 feet of flame that shoots out the end of the exhaust.

Just did this in my 2005 OBW. I'm tired of spending a fortune on headlights, I'll turn them on when I need them thank you very much Subaru.

 

Hope I unplugged the right one. The box said DRL on a green sticker and there was a black plug right beside the white one. I pulled the white one.

 

Any solid word if this disables the heated wipers on the '05 model (with winter package)? If so, I'll have to re-connect the DRL plug...snows and ices a lot here and the wiper de-icers are necessary.

 

I did the DRL disable on my '05 LGT wagon around Thanksgiving and have been using my wiper heaters practically every day for the past two weeks with no problem.

Spotted this morning at 9:05 am a GRP Legacy 2.5 GT Wagon with DRL delete turning North on Goffle Rd by the Dunkin Doughnuts in Hawthorne, NJ.

 

I was the OBP 2.5 GT Wagon :wub: with DRL delete going the other way to turn onto RT-208 North.

Obviously it would be only when conditions warrant using just the fog lights. All corner markers would still be on.

 

Besides, fog lights CAN be used as DRLs here, but I don't want to make them the DRLs, just have them shut off the DRLs when required.

 

I suppose I could install a DRL cutout switch and install aftermarket fog lights...

 

If you ground the DRLs through the Fog Lights when you turn on the Fog Lights the DRLs would lose ground and turn off. I did this on my motorcycle with my side marker lights and turn signals. Unfortunately modern car wiring with CAN data buss can make this much more difficult to do.

im talking about liberty.

after they fucked me over a NUMEROUS times (because i literally used to live 2 blocks away from them, on Kinderkamek rd., so i went to them and i knew i could trust them bc i can keep checking on them every now and then).. but instead, i got my interior really scuffed up. i only had 7 miles on it!!

 

so i took it to richard lucas when i had problems with tcu.. and they fucked it up. yes, they replaced it under warranty, because they fried it, but they took a month and a half to fix it.

 

never going back to a subaru dealer again. nothing but baddies.

 

You should write a letter to Dan Cohen, General Sales Mgr and 'cc' Rick DeSilva, the owner of Liberty Subaru. If you keep it civil and explain why you have been disappointed with your recent service experiences I'm sure they will try to make it up to you.

 

You will probably get a better response if you just sound very disappointed that Liberty let you down than if you sound angry that Liberty screwed up your ride. Sales are way down for car dealers so they don't want to do anything to allienate their current customer base.

 

Just remember if you sound too pissed off they may figure that you are a lost cause rather than a customer they can make happy again.

Spotted today leaving the Meadowlands Sports complex after the Giants-Bengals game.

1. BSM Legacy 2.5 GT Wagon with CT plates, roof racks, acrylic hood protector and Cannondale stickers on rear side windows.
   
2. OBP Legacy 2.5 GT Sedan with NJ plates, R2 Black Chrome wheels, rear wing and badges shaved off.
   

Anyone on the list?

RBP Legacy GT sedan (A/T) with NY plates coming into the Meadowlands Sports Complex from Paterson Plank Rd for the Giants game last night.

 

It was driven by a blonde honey with what appeared to be her sugar daddy riding shotgun.

What we need here is some sort of attractive decal that members can stick on their window so we have a better idea when we spot a vehicle whether it belongs to a member.

I first went to Walmart and they didn't have the size. Then to Advance Auto and they didn't have the size in stainless steel. So the closet next stop was Lowes, where I thought $6 for a bag of 20 was alot, but I didn't want to drive to Home Depot and they not have it either.

 

So what is the correct size stainless washer I need to buy? What are you going to do with all those left over washers?

Saw a BSM Legacy GT with rear spoiler and Connecticut plates coming in off of RT 120/Patterson Plank Rd into the Jets game at the Meadowlands Saturday.

damn, i guess i know where im movin when im married, no inspecion, fukin new york, only anal state that has a sex driven governor and an overly open blind governor

 

Don't forget the crippled NY governor....who went on to become POTUS #32:icon_excl

Silver LGT with rear wing and handicap placard at the Giants game last night
