  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. Nice car. My wife has a 2018, same color, 6 speed of course. Our other two Legacies, LGT and 3.6 are 5EAT, so it's nice to have the options.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. I assume a '17 WRX would require an AP for a tune?
  13. 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!
  14. Good description. I will assume he got the exact look he was going for.
  15. No disrespect to the Legacy or cancer f#cking, but...yeah... This is a guys car as well.
  16. ~95k. Running like a champ (after a years of TLC), stg 2 Tuning Alliance tune almost done. Just working on getting air bag light on dash fixed and I'm all set.
  17. 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.
  18. Ended up just buying the part. Dash light went off for a while, but back on now. The overhead light works; shows airbag on/off depending if someone is sitting in the seat with the belt buckled. Thoughts?
  19. 3rd time and still not fixed. Not looking fwd to spending more money, but I think this is the part I need: https://www.heubergersubaruparts.com/2007-Legacy-GT-spec-B-Map-lamp-p/84621ag41a-188430-686193.htm Maybe?
  20. Thanks! I did reflow all the connections. Didn't want to do it a 3rd time.
  21. I think I got it. I held the iron to the point for a while longer, flux bubbled a bit. Seems to be fixed for the moment. Fingers crossed!
  22. Hmmm nope light still on. I'll try one more time to make sure I got it all soldered. Any other suggestions?
  23. Finally fixed mine. I ended up just soldering all the points again. Seems to be off after starting the car, good sign. Thanks!
