Got the recall notice for my 2009 Legacy I just sold a month back. Notified the new owner, but it was only a matter of time before the recall expanded.

Takata recall expanded even more today? Knew it was just a matter of time. My airbag light comes on sometimes now actually. We'll see if my vin shows up. SUMMARY: Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain model year 2003-2004 Legacy, Outback, 2009-2011 Legacy, Outback, Forester, 2006-2011 Impreza, Tribeca, 2003-2006 Baja, and 2006 Saab 9-2x vehicles originally sold or that have ever been registered in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands, or "Zone A." These vehicles may be equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. CONSEQUENCE: An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. REMEDY: Subaru will notify their owners. General Motors will notify Saab owners. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. A notification schedule has not yet been provided. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-856-488-8500. Saab owners may contact GM at 1-800-955-9007. Subaru's number for this recall is TKA-16. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Only a matter of time before 09 included?

Haha nice, I was just out there to drop my roommate off at Sac International last night. I carried chains last time I was out there but decided not to use them as it was just starting to snow. If there's ice though, game over. I'll let you know as the time gets closer. Thanks for the offer though!

I go to school in Napa Valley, I'm pretty sure you can find what you want around here. I don't have my jack or tools here at all either, they're at home in SoCal. Best case scenario is that the weather is all clear. If you're in Sac, maybe I can just stop by and swap the wheels before heading to Tahoe if it does call for it.

What's the rental price for the last weekend of February? Maybe it won't snow and it'll be clear.

Lol, I am going back in a couple weeks. Are they on a different set of rims?

^Yep lots of LGTs in Tahoe this weekend. Summer tires + snow makes for a hairy time.

Saw a couple 2.5i's in South Lake Tahoe yesterday, probably not on the forums. Saw one LGT with a roof rack leaving Sierra yesterday as well.

Spotted black? 05-07 2.5i I believe. I didn't see a hood scoop. I-80 Eastbound at around midnight. Looked like aftermarket axlebacks at least.

Saw a silver 05-07 LGT going north on Silverado Trail in the Napa Valley Friday at around 3:40 pm.

rr, rl, fr, fl

BR-32 in the 2009 vaca pics states "Perform the brake fluid replacement in order from the farthest wheel cylinder from master cylinder" This is also the way I have learned on all other cars so I guess I will continue to do that.

Spotted, I believe a DGM LGT or Spec.B. I'm not so sure, I saw it last second as I was getting off on Golf Course Dr. off the 101 South. Wasn't able to catch the taillights, or see the front signal marker, so I'm unsure if it's 05-07 or 08-09. I think it had Spec.B wheels though.

I have a 10 gauge kit for power and everything. I hate splicing into stock wiring, but I guess I can go after the cigarette lighter if it comes down to that for the ACC switched power.

Why did they get rid of it after 06? WTF! Hahahahaha, oh well. I guess I'll have to splice into the radio or something. They did leave an ACC switched line there right? I wonder if I can get the satellite radio harness and plug it into the stock headunit and take switched power off of there.

Woah, +1. What is the OP connector? I was worrying about where I'd splice into ACC switched power. This might make my life easier.

It doesn't matter, if I have the space, I'm going to fill it with FLAC. My CarPC is only going to be for navigation and music only. Maybe wireless internet capabilities as well.

Music and movies can fill up 48GB mighty quickly. I think my music alone is at 80 GB or so. FLAC takes a lot of room!

I only did it because everyone else seemed to have their own with organized pictures and etc. I thought it wouldn't be too much trouble to put a link to my thread in the first post of yours. My bad?

Got my Carnetix CNX-P1900 today. God damn, that thing is small. I always thought it would be huge, and I'd have trouble fitting it. I am certain I'll have NO problem putting it in behind the dash. That said, I'll create my own thread for my CarPC install.

I'm planning on putting the Mac Mini and USB hub in the glove compartment, since I don't put anything in there anyway. Hopefully it'll fit. For the power supply, I think I may be able to squeeze it back there somewhere. I worked at Fry's during the summer and someone returned the Mac Mini and upgraded through their service contract at Fry's. It supposedly overheated and had problems, but it has no problems. Manager let me have it for $100, lucky me! I'm not really a Mac guy though, so i may be looking to change to a PC later, anyone use these before? http://www.fit-pc.com/new/specifications.html

Yea I hope so. Just going through all the past installs, including yours. I'm the unlucky one without a wagon, so I have no idea where to put my power supply and Mac Mini. Any thoughts? I haven't seen behind the stock radio and cubby, how much space is back there?

Just throwing my name in here, I am also FINALLY obtaining parts to put a CarPC in. Always wanted to put one in my old car, but in the Legacy it goes. Since I accepted the fact that my Legacy is my comfort car, I might as well put some nice touches to it. Things I have already: Mac Mini PPC 1.25 GHz w/ 120GB HDD, 1GB RAM - $100 Carnetix CNX-P1900 with MacPac cables - $90 Things I need: JDM 1DIN Facia - $125 from Rallitek 7" VGA touchscreen - $270 off eBay Some 8 or 10 AWG wiring - cheap Already have a bluetooth GPS hardwired under the hood, currently using my Dell Axim X51V, so this CarPC will take over navigation duties as well. I'll take lots of pictures and document it well for the community.

What is the point of disabling DRLs for 08s+? Because the DRLs are now using the high beam bulbs aren't they? At least on my 09 they are, so I can get a HID kit without worrying about DRLs screwing it up.
