Stepping it up a notch, need a rotated turbo!
Code replied to Tehnation's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
They did the same on my car. Tuned on 93oct down to about 1/4 tank and then filled her up from a drum of the good stuff. -

No. E85 from the pump is never truly 85% unless you’re buying it direct from a specialty supplier. It varies wildly between stations as well as seasons. Winter blend gets less alcohol. Even at that I’ve never remember seeing anything below the upper 60% ish in my area. This is part of the convenience of the flexfuel kit. You don’t have to worry if you get a low e%, the tune will be adjusted to be safe. So no sitting at a gas station with a beaker checking ethanol content the old fashioned way and loading a tune. -

I’ve had e78+ around Pittsburgh. I’d bet our year-round average is over e70 in my area. -

That’s great. Post your dyno graph if tuner shares it with you. That things a rocket now. -
Great info in here. My mod path was focused on significantly different goals so I don’t have anything to contribute that our resident experts haven’t already covered.

Where did you get that trunk emblem? Would go great with my other CF

Neat. You’ve amassed some pretty unique and rare parts. I applaud the effort. -
See guys. This is the advice and influence that I need from the enablers on this forum. I already own everything to do all four corners. Just need to get them out for PC. Since I’m already opening up the system I guess I should just do the MC/booster and be done with it. Otherwise I’ll be left longing for that firm firm pedal….cut to dream sequence…

IMO it’s not worth it to go HID anymore. LED tech has come a long way. No external ballasts or relays to go bad, they’re cheaper, no messy wiring to hide away, and run cooler I haven’t had many issues with my retro quick setup but it’s been enough to turn me off. They’re headlights. They should always work, every time. LED is a simpler answer than HID to the same questioN. MY F150 has factory LED headlights and they’re as good, if not better, than my LGTs HID. I agree. nice forrester.

I e run the “retro-quick” setup from TheRetrofit Source for 10 years or so and they are good but also comes at the cost of additional wiring, ballast, and opening headlights to install the shields and lenses. It’s a good setup with great output but requires mounting and hiding all that bs. If I had the option to do it again I would go to a modern led setup.

All my couplers under the hood are blue. Brakes will be the only thing on the exterior that isn’t white or real carbon fiber. I think it’ll look good behind the hyper silver enkei wheels and add a subtle hint of Subaru WRC lineage to the car.

I had to time-sert all four calipers because they were stripped. . Ordered powder swatches today. I have new everything for the caliper rebuild along with dba rotors and project mu pads. Looking forward to one of the last upgrades I want for the lgt. I’ve said it a few times since 2009, but I really am just about finished with mods. Not much left to upgrade after this!
