Dang! I drove down there today to with a friend to grab some parts from PRE for his STi, probably could've swung by to bother you for some other parts

 

Great seller! Bump.

I need to fill out buyer feedback for you. There seems to be less and less lagit enthusiasts around and you are one of them. Too bad I have an Evo to sell since that group seems to have fallen almost completely to the dark side.

SOLD to LGT_Kyle for $50 shipped (and packed inside the box better than Grimmspeed did).

Another part I never put on my OXT that I recently sold. Brand new, never used. $45

SOLD

All new and never used. May fit other years, too but this was the brake system I was going to put on my MY08 Outback XT but never did, and now the car is sold. $400.

-Legacy GT OE front calipers

-Legacy GT SS lines (F/R) by Mach V for Outback (the rears are different).

-StopTech street front pads

-Centric LGT fitment rotors

-Brake fluid

-Calipers have speed bleeders installed

Car Sold to Member Fox212 for $12,000.

What ever happened to the dancing banana icon?

Sent you a communication!

I'd love to see some new compression/leakdown test results! I've been holding out for an '09, but good grief those only seem to pop up once in a blue moon. This OBXT checks every other box I have. Looks like a solid build. OP, I'll shoot you a PM.

Here are some photos of the uninstalled parts.

I also added a different purchase option/price.

$18k is a lot

I am selling because our family needs a larger vehicle. Below find the modification list including the parts I have that are not installed and are included in the sales price. Both Surgeline Tuning and AR Motorsports have touched the car so feel free to call them.

I am happy to take the car some place for a pre-purchase inspection to get new compression/leak-down numbers on the car (I'd never buy a turbo car without doing this and did so before I bought this one).

The car came from CA and was bought locally from a small car vendor.

Thanks for looking!

All that is needed is a trim piece with a larger bulb. In fact, if GS wanted to be great to the OBXT guys they would offer this specifically for our fitment.

I am still trying to source said trim but I got GS to send me the specs on the standard trim so I know what to move up from.

Now that I have been living with the TMIC and looking very carefully I really like the design and fitment.

Well, it did not looked creased at all to me like how it looks now but yeah, I bent it back up. Glad the mounting points have the wiggle thanks to the rubber isolators.

Took the car for a spin and the first pull popped off the TB hose. I stopped following directions and things got better. I marked the alignment of the TB hose and then took the whole TMIC off and secured the TB hose to the intercooler first using two hose clamps (note: I think this should be a much winder, single clamp since the force of the air pushes down on that hose anyhow). It slid in place on the TB super easy with some lube and now holds 18psi just fine. Sweet.

So, now the issue is the splitter. Has anyone with an Outback used the mentioned spacer solution? I question that alignment with a spacer since all the hoses now align just right as is. The rear seals and I don't see there being slack enough on the hoses to just space-up the front (esp. the TB hose which is kinda flat anyhow). I guess there is only one way to find out. I do have a bunch of washers laying around after taking off the Perrin! I am also going to see if there is a larger option for the wrap-around gasket.

I would say this does not fit the Outback XT. Two main issues:

1) On my 2009, the fire-wall mounting point that uses the 10mm bolt? That body panel is bent flat vertial and therefore I had to bend it up to horizontal to get the plane of the bolt/bracket where it needed to be. This messed up all the other alignments and took hours of bending, pulling and fighting with everything else. The throttle body inet will likely not stay on long-term under boost.

In other words, all the R&D that Grimmspeed did to keep such things from happening happened on my platform anyhow.

2) The front of the splitter misses the intercooler by over an inch. To me this completely undermines the point of paying for a system that comes with a splitter. It also means that only about 1/4 of the splitter actually seals with the intercooler b/c of the angle.

The only plus side so far is that the intercooler is higher off the engine so does not bang into things which was the main motivation for replacing the Perrin in the first place. Ironic to swap one issue for others.

So, nothing has changed meaning nothing really fits the Outback XT.

Now, FOR THE OBXT GUYS (and Grimmspeed):

 

The TMIC fits. The splitter fits. IMO, the splitter is not perfect for outbacks.

 

The front mounting point is attached to the engine, and therefore drops the front of the TMIC down towards the ground by approximately 1". The result is that the whole TMIC is tilted forward just a bit. Not a big deal, but the splitter material (the rubber) begins to lose contact with TMIC as you get towards the front of the TMIC. You can see the gap start to form there.

 

Big deal? Probably not. I think it can be fixed with some foam (or similar material) being stuck to the TMIC itself. I also may try some small spacers in between the splitter and the hood where the front fasteners are installed. I think this should angle the whole splitter similarly to how the TMIC is angled and things should line up.

 

Grimmspeed, maybe including spacers and new bolts/screws for those mounting points would be the ticket for the OBXT guys

So i have a 09OXT with 300wtq and only 27k on the whole system. getting the chatter when the clutch is depressed so I am guessing I need to do something quick.

is my platform the same in terms of clutch, etc. as the LGT and hence 06' WRX?

Thanks.

lots of rattles I have had to attend to (clutch res. cover and vibrating against the intake manifold). Some different dimensions I guess for the OXT. Could not use the OEM mounting point for the TMIC on the drivers side.
