LGT Owners, what car will you drive next?
Lucid replied to EvilCamaroSS's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Keeping the OBXT for the long haul, but considering selling the Leggy I’m feeling nostalgic for my old 4Runner. If I pull the trigger it would be the first non-Subaru we’ve bought since 2004 -
This is still my first stop when I need to research or find something (I’m here this morning to see when I did the LGT brake swap on the obxt and my posts here are faster to search than my records from years ago). But it’s been a long time since I was an active member of these forums. And I don’t even know how many years since I last logged onto AWDPirates. I don’t have the book of faces but I do agree that it plays a huge role in the decline of forum use. That and craigslist. I notice that gaming forums are still well trafficked and active, even as automotive forums languish. I imagine Discord is the harbinger of death for those though. I was active on here when your tuning business was brand new cryo, and I’m glad to see you still around. Same for you Mike, I hope all is well at 5250.

fs - location: (Seattle) Boxkita's Epic Partout thread
Lucid replied to boxkita's topic in Member Classifieds (2005 - 2009)
Hmm. I feel certain I could convince the better half that it’s necessary to fly into SeaTac, rent a big U haul and being back a few grand in pieces and parts. I need to start building the case for that today. -
So I’m spending Christmas replacing the PS pump in my ‘06 OBXT and instinctively came here for tips, tricks and warnings. It made me nostalgic for the time years ago when I was an active member of these forums. I wanted to make a point of making this thread to thank all of the members who have kept things going, helping the Subi community. And a big shoutout to @Tide and the donators for keeping the site live to host this treasure trove of archived information. Thank you all, and may you never have to spend Christmas tracking down parts and fluids so you can get to work in the morning (after 2 days of Ubering to work because nobody had your pump in stock and here are no rental cars because they’re all reserved by holiday travelers ) Cheers, Lucid

Make sure you are on the CD setting, with the silent CD playing. Otherwise you will hear your aux device laid over the audio of the radio or other CD.

The Jazzy solution is dependent on using a silent cd. It is not a blank cd but a disc with a single, long track of silence. There are options for getting an Aux in without using the silent cd. They are not as easy or as popular as the Jazzy solution, but have their own benefits. Search the audio subforum for more info.

Tis true, the instructions are very detailed. Great job, and thanks again. I hope to get this done this weekend. -

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to yet another day off spent under the hood I suppose it keeps me out of trouble... -
Front Wheel Bearing -- DIY Walkthrough

Yep, that was my thought too. -
Front Wheel Bearing -- DIY Walkthrough
Lucid replied to derffred's topic in Walkthroughs :: Basic Operation & Maintenance
Did my right-front today. Not terribly difficult. This write-up was considerably more useful than the service manual, thanks OP. I did have a bitch of a time removing the axle nut, it just laughed at my impact gun and all other attempts. The solution was an idea from the first page of this thread: remove the center cap, put the wheel back on, drop and block the car, stand-jump on the breaker bar to loosen the nut. If I had done that from the beginning I would have saved more than an hour.... I suspect that the axle nut was seriously over-torqued by the mechanics used by my body shop, after an accident I had last winter. -

Thanks for the update. Good move having a back up machine shop already lined up. -
That sucks! No ideas for a fix tonight, which is probably what you're looking for, but you can get one from Radio Shack for ~$20.

Front Wheel Bearing -- DIY Walkthrough
Lucid replied to derffred's topic in Walkthroughs :: Basic Operation & Maintenance
Lazy subscribe/bump. I'm pretty sure the need for this is in my immediate future. -
When using the 30-pin iPod connector the volume is fine. When using the 3.5mm jack it is a bit quieter. I've had a series of rental cars lately, and have found that they are all quieter with a device attached to an aux in line with a 3.5mm, so I think that's common, even normal.
-
No, you don't have to plug the 3.5 into the iPod, the pro kit comes with an iSimple cable to connect and charge your iPod/iPhone, the 3.5 can be used to hook up anything else. I've used it for my laptop and a portable DVD player. I tape it up while it's not in use, because I found it transmits some static when it rubs against stuff bouncing around in my console.
-
I may be misunderstanding your question, but my Jazzy kit allowed for the included iPod cable and 3.5mm to both be hooked up. I have both cables run to the console, and can switch between them at will. Hope that helps, sorry if it doesn't.
