What did you do to your 5th gen today?? -V4
gimpydingo replied to SBT's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Installed a rear dash cam. I'm actually using 2 front dash cams as I already had a front cam. 1 in front and 1 for the rear. I just need to clean up the wiring, but works great. -
Factory Radio Sucks
gimpydingo replied to blindguy74's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
The radio is not amazing, but adding the OEM sub to my 07 LGT definitely helped to "round out" the sound. Even the HK in my 13 3.6 is good, but not amazing. Since you don't have the 3.5 jack you could look into a radio transmitter for sound from your phone to stereo. They can be a little fickle when trying to find a good station to use it on, but they do work. I used one in my 98 Jetta and 01 Toyota Echo back in the day. -

I also replaced the PCV valve on my 3.6. Why did that take 5 minutes, when on my 07 LGT it takes 30 - 45 minutes?? :iam::iam::iam::iam: -

Change the brakes and rotors, Hawk HPS and Centric. First time ever changing myself. Had some issues with the back rotors as I forgot to disengage the ebrake. Other than that fairly easy with a little swearing at a few bolts. Thanks again to the forum for the DIY! When I got my windshield repaired the LARGE repairman dented my wheel well. When trying to loosen a bolt on the calipers I guess my shoulder pushed up the wheel well from below and popped out the dent. BONUS! -
What did you buy for your 5th gen today? - V3
gimpydingo replied to SBT's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Got my Centric rotors and Hawk HPS pads in for all 4 corners. Just ordered a PCV. I know what I'll be doing this weekend. Last weekend was all about the LGT. Seized caliper pin, axle replacement, and manifold leaks. -
Thanks for this thread. 2nd time referring to it. I had a leaky boot and replaced the axle with a Surtrack that still has the C clip at the end. 15k miles and it's making noise. I cleaned and rebooted my original axle. Now I can't seem to get the Surtrack out of the tranny. Maybe I need to wedge a bigger screw driver/pry bar between the tranny/green cup on axle?? Any other suggestions. Edit: Got the axle out, but have another issue.

Tribeca 25mm sway bars on 4th gen legacy GT?
gimpydingo replied to Fxiong09's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Cost? Let us know how the install goes! -
I typically have people ask if my '13 Legacy is a BMW or Lexus. lol Today I got a compliment of sorts from a Ford Focus ST driver about my 07 LGT. He kept looking and looking from 3 cars lengths ahead. Until I got on it and kept creeping past him. I guess the look of shock while he leaned forward for more POWAH was the compliment.

I know the ECU keeps track of the number of flashes/resets, which the dealer can check. Is it possible to change that number through the tools currently available? This would be for a 2017 WRX. Which sadly is at a body shop currently.

Help! Very high a/f learning
gimpydingo replied to Lgt005's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
For mt exhaust leak I jacked up the car, soaped all the gaskets on the DP, UP, exhaust mani, and fired up the car. Started bubbling at the EM crossover. Double thick grimm gaskets and good to go. -
Sweet. Let me finish my GT up in the next few weeks and I'll hit you up for the WRX. I have a 3.6R as well. Worth tuning for 87 fuel? Really don't want ANOTHER car that runs premium. Lol

I assume a '17 WRX would require an AP for a tune?

Airbag Light - Help
gimpydingo replied to 08SubieLegacy's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Post 147 http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/airbag-light-sometimes-console-problemi-149073p10.html I tried this fix, didnt' work, got a new map light, still not fixed. Turns out my passenger airbag controller is bad, $500 part, $500 in labor. At least Subby Corp is paying the labor. Good luck! -
Good description. I will assume he got the exact look he was going for.

Dealer checked it out. Here is what they said. Codes 25, 26, 38. Diagnosed for 25. Connected test harness U to connector AB6 on air bag control module, and tested voltage at pin 6 on connector 2U of test harness. More than 10 volts with key on, grounded to chassis. Recommended replacing passenger air bag control module. Part $455 + $550 in labor. I called Subby corp and they are looking into this. I'll get it fixed either way. Might end up selling as Stg 2, since a 17 WRX unexpectedly entered my life lol.
