I might do a separate thread if it comes closer to fruition. I gotta get the 4-post to keep the SVX up in the air during the "bad" weather and then I can park the Legacy underneath. Storing cars on 2-posts is not ideal and they require thicker concrete to be installed (bolted) while the 4-post does not require the same thickness/PSI or being bolted down.

If anything, this makes me want to attempt the install, including wiring myself. There are tube heaters that would definitely be able to do the job, but storing those and their fuel is not ideal. Throw in I have yet to get a 4-post lift makes the heater a lower priority .

The door is 16ft wide and 8ft high. Total ceiling height is just around 14ft. I will give an update while I am at it. I got a couple of quotes for an electric garage heater. This is basically a corner install with 220v from the breaker on the same wall. Nearly $1000 including inspection but not the actual heater. After enough cold winter nights, I can definitely tell the door helps with keeping the temperature up. Not sure if a heater is needed but it would make working in the winter in the garage better.

+1 to the epoxy floors. I am glad to hear you are getting it professionally done instead of doing it yourself. I have beat my floors to hell, and yes, there will be some inevitable damage unless you take many precautions. Sometimes while working on a project you just want to get it done and don't spend much time keeping the floor safe. I will say that it is nice to just wipe up all stains without effort. I also had my stairs covered and a portion of the foundation is that is also concrete that goes up about 3/4 feet along one wall. If you have something similar its something to think about. Protip - if your garage is connected to your home, I would suggest taping off the door seams, from the inside to help reduce the amount of fumes coming into the house. It is strong and it does linger.

Mine broke to a few years ago. The rear

For a while now my TPMS light (sensors in the tires are on the newer side, maybe 5 years old) and both my keyless entry keyfobs stopped working. I removed my drivers seat, took the tpms unit out, looked at the board and nothing looked burnt. Regarding the keyfobs, the two that I have stopped working (yes changed the batteries in both) but they still do not work. Are these issues possibly related?

Congratulations on the new home. I understand completely the order of priorities and hope you do eventually get to do it. I am not sure if its COVID related but yes, I am having a hard time finding people to get any work done.

That was fast. I would be interested if you could update us on the process and how it goes. My current issue is not with the dealers but finding someone to do the pickup/install.

An 11ft ceiling still isn't bad and I have seen pictures online of lifts in 8 foot spaces. Benpak has resources online for the specs of their lifts. Did you see this spec sheet for the HD9? https://www.bendpak.com/HD-9-Four-Post-Lift-5175861-BendPak.pdf

Yessir. Liftmaster 8500w Its a shaft style opener so its tucked out of the way and frees up space in the middle of the garage. The rails were also moved up to be right up against the ceiling which is why many get this combo done before a lift is installed.

Thanks!

After having it for a while. I still recommend it to people for all garages, not just those for automotive enthusiasts/people planning to get a lift. The opener is super quiet and the door has been a nice addition regarding insulation and maintaining a more consistent garage temperature. I hope to remember to update this thread with my experience in the winter (getting a ceiling heater install soon).

Did not know that - Good to know.

Did not DIY and I am glad I went that route. My ceilings are nearly 14ft in the garage and dealing with that along with the weight of the springs looked very precarious. With two workers, the install also took a large part of the day. I couldn't imagine having a non-functioning garage door overnight or for an extended period so this was a no-brainer choice. I didn't mention it before, but I opted for the upgraded high-cycle springs. There are two and each weighed a ton. Regarding price, most people wouldn't need to replace the entire door as I did so keep that in mind. The total for the installation, door, springs, rails and garage door opener was nearly $4k. Between the costs of the epoxy floor, garage cabinets and the new door system, I could have bought multiple lifts by now .

Why not, when looking at core charges from RA its a decent bit of change. The starter isnt very heavy/large so you will still come out ahead - they also provide discounted shipping for the core return.

Does it need to be from Subaru directly? I would check out RockAuto. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,2006,legacy,2.5l+h4+turbocharged,1432596,brake+&+wheel+hub,caliper,1704

It finally happened. New Amarr Lincoln LI3000 Steel Door w/2" insulation New Rails w/high-lift extension New Liftmaster 8500w The lift is next

wish i knew this before replacing my ECU!! Great work

Yeah, I took mine to DPS and I am glad that I did. I told them the bolts were frozen, then they showed me the bushing spinning in the knuckle. Extremely grateful I didn't have to deal with that on my back, in the cold in my garage.

Ive been dealing with the same issue, I haven't replaced everything you have as I had year old sensors on the car when it started happening. My next course of action is to take a look at the TPMS Module under the drivers seat (IIRC) and see if the issue is there.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up.

Very good point. Something to consider. At my current progression it will be about time for another alignment by the time I get to this other work.
