2006 OBXT Vacuum Hose Routing Help
Rhitter replied to Eric67ct's topic in Third Generation Subaru Outback (2004 – 2009)
I can't give you the absolute answer - but I think Grimmspeeds instructions for the EBCs covers a lot of what you are looking for. -
What did you do to your Outback today? V3
Rhitter replied to SBT's topic in Third Generation Subaru Outback (2004 – 2009)
I did the drop trans way. It was pretty terrible. All hand tools meant that my forearms where shot for three weeks. M Sprank mentioned he does it by leaving the engine / transmission in place and is able to get just enough space. Given my tools / skills no way was that going to work for me. -
These are parts I have had off the car for awhile. After my last smog didn't want to put them back on and went back to a stock set-up. Yeah - goal is to sell my car, but I am balancing it with how much effort I want to put into removing what's on there (there is still a bunch!) Yep, these springs will work on any Legacy GT strut. I had them on USDM Bilstein's (I have the KSRS-29 on now also on USDM Bilstein's) Condition is great. I don't see any noticeable areas of wear. I am unsure of fitment on anything beyond 08/09s. It's an SS358D. This wheel integrates with the OEM audio controls and I think the 05-07s fit differently. It took me a little while to get used to the D shape. But, this is probably one of my number one mods for this car. It's unreal the better difference it makes. It's just so much nicer to hold and "fits" the car better. This is on OEM wheels - Bilstein's on Pinks front. KSRL-29+.5 inch spacer (I like rake) as an idea for their height. Outback's seem to sit lower than Legacy GTs and normally need an additional spacer.

It was because you had one wheel up. Swaybars are a bitch if you aren't on ramps / wheels aren't loaded equally. -
Buyer pays shipping. keep in mind these are large / heavy parts and shipping is expensive. Local pick-up available. DAMD D shape wheel SOLD - works with 08+ Legacy / OBXT steering wheels with controls. SS358D. GS TMIC for Legacy GT: SOLD. All parts included. about 15k miles on it GS Catted / coated limited downpipe: $ SOLD . About 40k miles on it. Tomei Equal Length headers + Tomei up-pipe: $350. Unsure how to ship these. They don't really fit in normal size boxes. Unsure mileage. Bought used off of these boards. JDM projectors: SOLD. These were built by UTC_Pyro. These don't fit 08+ headlights (it's too deep). It should, but I cannot verify fit in 05-07. King springs (KSRL-29) SOLD. Despite the listing these fit my 2008 Outback on Legacy GT Bilsteins just fine. These are 1 inch lowering springs. The are progressive and great if you regularly carry people+ gear. STI Pinks - Legacy GT wagon springs SOLD . Front two white dots (ST2033021000 ) rear two blue dots - wagon specific (ST2038021020)

Something else to just be aware of - you will get tire rub. I went down to Legacy GT height and one tire rubbed. Nothing else did, but occasionally one of my tires rubbed. I had many alignments and it was always that one tire. If you load up the back with people+ gear your rear wheels will occasionally rub. I settled on + 1 inch front and +1.5 inches rear from Legacy GT height to still use my outback as an outback (stiffer springs would have worked also). Rebourne also used his as an Outback - but I think he went to smaller OD tires.

Underdog Motorsports - 2015 STI Steering Rack Swap
Rhitter replied to Underdog's topic in Suspension/Brakes
I trimmed mine to be safe. It's probably not needed. https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5378160&postcount=198 You can see how little I cut off. -
Do you have an external cooler on your trans?

I just spend all my time biking

On the yellow bike - it's the stock fender that comes with the manitou R7. I think all Manitou's come with it. On the blue bike I am using a bolt on fender I got from https://reciprocators.ca/products/the-proguard-bolt-on I have become so picky over the years that I basically have to build a bike from the frame up (or I will change so much that I don't like). The yellow bike was a bunch of "huh, that's not available and won't be forever." The yellow bike was a frame up build from nmwbikes.com but it took 2 ish months to get all the parts together because of the pandemic (reasonable and what I expected). I have done this a bunch with the new Rockshox stuff. I think the newer stuff might be easier than the old stuff - or maybe it's just better documented. Like working on cars - the right tools make all the difference.

I have been riding mostly hardtails lately. My friend is a bike frame builder and has been wielding them up for a couple years now. My newest bike (in yellow to match my son's) Exploring redwoods on the coast Dropbars for when I want to go far

Absolutely worth it for a mtb. I have tubeless set up on my gravel bike also because it's all I know.

Rhitter replied to SBT's topic in Third Generation Subaru Outback (2004 – 2009)
My Outback has been basically sitting for 6 months now (driven occasionally). In the same boat of I don't need it, but also not motivated to sell it. I should probably see if I can find someone else who enjoy it. Nothing wrong with it - I just don't drive it anymore. -
OBXT to Bilstein XT
Rhitter replied to Rhitter's topic in Third Generation Subaru Outback (2004 – 2009)
What info are you looking for? Most of it is documented in my build thread also. Link in my signature. -
My bikes - I ride typically 2 times a week outside (during the summer / lighter months) and 2-3 times a week inside. The BikeLab bikes are steel framed "custom" bikes as my friend figures out how to build them. I have only ridden 26 and 29 inch wheeled bikes. I have no idea what a 27.5 feels like

Vf52 swap - what pill to use? Os or AP
Rhitter replied to 2.5turd's topic in Turbo Powertrains (2.0GT, 2.5GT, 2.5XT)
The OEM one from the 46 / 40 or a an EBCS. I went OS and never had any complaints. I think that more and more tuners are going AP only. I would reach out to your tuner with your mods and aask what they recommend. With a e-tune, you really want to make it easy for the tuner. -
you know I always assume that was an oil drain. But, I think that looks like exactly what i was looking for. Thanks!
