  1. I definitely don't want any death crystals in my tires.
  2. I have been looking at the autostop eliminator, but don't like the idea of plugging something into the eyesight camera module... also - while I try to remember to turn it off when I get going in the car, more often than not I make it all the way home without it ever triggering - you have to push the brake pedal down pretty far before the system kicks in (I tend to brake then as you are coming to a complete stop, lift up a little on the brake pedal so that you don't get the abrupt "hard stop" (not sure how to describe it - it's something I have always done when stopping so that it isn't jarring when the brakes finally grab at the end)
  3. It doesn't look like there is anything on pin 8 for the MY14 NAV. Ground is pin 6. The NAV is already set up to take a camera, isn't it? I would think the main problem would be that the OEM camera is 5V and many of the aftermarket ones are 12V, so you need a step up transformer to drive them (that's what I did on my old MY12)
  4. we'll be doing wider rims (8.5") and better tires - you don't skimp on tires or brakes.
  5. You can configure the time the dome light stays on via the screen for 0/10/20/30 seconds - I'm guessing the default is 30 seconds. Does anyone know who makes the OEM battery for Subaru?
  6. I like the idea of a light bar, but something like that would almost certainly get wrecked in my trunk (assuming Murphy is in full effect when I put thing into/take them out of the trunk) - I ended up going with one of the vleds 14 LED 194 bulbs - very bright (rated at 90 lumens - I also used them for the lights on the underside of the door cards). Would have loved to use one of the 26 LED ones, but I didn't think it would fit under the little grating for the fixture
  7. I am going through some of the same thoughts - for the Avid GT tires (assuming you still have those) the 225/50-18 says it will go on a rim from 7-8" in width Have you test fit the new wheels yet? How much clearance do you have between the tire sidewall and the strut?
  8. How much clearance do you need between the sidewall of the tire and the strut tube? I have about 22mm stock - if I were to go with tires that were 13mm away, in my head I should be just fine since the wheel/strut move as an assembly, but I didn't know if there was anything weird about the tires flexing as you drive (was thinking most of the deflection is at the bottom/contact patch with the road, and the upper part of the tire stays pretty much in the same position...
  9. VLEDS micro extreme LEDs in the H7 size - these are the 5000K color temperature LEDs and are rated at 4500 lumens per bulb. I ran a set of these on my Legacy GT for 4 years before it was totalled - they are great. I picked these up a while back when they went on clearance since the all-black design came out. This set is brand new, never used. $70+shipping
  10. Cobb AccessPort model AP3-SUB-003 Currently has 2012 Legacy GT maps on it, but maps for other vehicles can be downloaded for free from Cobb. Includes the accessport, OBD2 cable, zippered case, and an optional blue cover (has the standard grey one installed) - has part of the mounting kit (magnetic base that the accessport snaps into) $400+actual shipping costs
  11. You can buy the CD player accessory (the one that goes in the center console) for $320 (MSRP - can be found about $50 less online (probably $30 less once you figure shipping) - part number for the kit is H621SAN000. The install looks to be pretty annoying A cheaper option might be to pick up a bluetooth portable CD player (there are a bunch of them on Amazon for $50 and below)
  12. So Subaru doesn't sell the mirror scalps painted, so you'd need to do that on your own (lots of companies sell color matched paint in a spray can - www.paintscratch.com is one I have used before) - for the mirror cover, that's 91059AN02A, for the lower part, that's 91054AN12A, and the mirror glass is 91039AN02A. For an extra $20 or so, you can actually buy the whole assembly (91036AN82A) (still unpainted) https://parts.bestbuysubaru.com/a/Subaru_2023_Legacy-25L-Limited-Sedan/_51505_7628466/REAR-VIEW-MIRROR/B16-912-01.html poking around ebay, found the mirror glass for alot less https://www.ebay.com/itm/143402294733?hash=item2163715dcd:g:e10AAOSwH4tdl3f4&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0BXILcaDEcHGN%2FjMZjPi3lm2oa8B5iz%2Bimz0wgMwXBwBpSwL9u%2FffUXm8k4l5da47lTlveJdhlcSpfqHeUePSpQ5MqIbxvXeJGy4OrKsGyTXeEi8h%2FvZCyMvy28p59DC%2B%2FG0%2FK88YF%2BBWoI4vKEJyP8hWqBvduHmtSdo0yFEmWwEXZ1iSGhLfgDZd5Fb6bJT%2B7aH3vC3mQM29Cd12ipXML1EIrJgViacIJaU%2FMJjjLNcnblhQNzQV90I%2BWXkKqyi6KmI83x%2B4g%2BKqTjwXSOFm3s%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-6P3PmxYw
  13. there have been a number of posts over on www.subaruoutback.org about that, too. I wonder if the airflow is just poor through there (since it's tucked into a hole, so to speak) and that's the issue?
  14. I don't know that they are too bright - I really like them. The cutoff is nice and sharp for them too, which is good - if they are misadjusted, then I can see them causing issues though.
  15. Sorry - the parking brake relocation setup includes everything needed to do the relocate - the switch assembly and panel for the center console, the cable that plugs into that switch and the car harness, and the assembly to replace where the original parking brake switch is.
  16. Will be interesting to see what you think about the WRX - when I sat in one, I liked it, but the back seat/trunk just wouldn't work well for what I have to be able to move around (medical stuff for my youngest). Curious how different the FA24 behaves there vs. in the Legacy/Outback/Ascent - both use a dual scroll turbo, but the turbo is different , and the WRX is tuned for 91 and the others for regular - the engines being rated 271hp/258ft-lbs vs. 260hp/277 ft-lbs. The turbocharger for the WRX lists for almost twice what the one in the other cars - wonder what the difference is? I hear you on the getting older thing - I'm a few years beyond you and the safety features (with eyesight, RAB, blind spot detection, etc.) definitely factored into my decision. I really miss the manual, and the GT was definitely quicker, but for day to day stuff, the Legacy sport is pretty great. Once I get over 1k miles I'll get more spirited with it, and maybe I'll be fine with it, otherwise, I'm hoping the WRX drops the cladding when they do a refresh and maybe I'll switch... we shall see!
  17. Looks like a 24 Legacy Sport for me with the turbocharged FA24 - picked it up at the end of December a few weeks after my GT met it's untimely demise at the hands of a local driver who felt that making a u-turn from the far right lane, across 2 other lanes without looking was somehow ok... car was totaled, unfortunately. I miss driving a standard...
  18. Legacy GT Purchased from a member on here - mats are in great shape as pictured. $50+actual shipping - SOLD Also have a set of STi mats - same price - $50+actual shipping - SOLD
  19. Sorry - missed this - unfortunately no, I did not - they had it back in the shop for quite some time and when they fixed it said they weren't sure what the issue was - I will say that something seemed loose (was making a squeaking sound and everything) that we couldn't seem to find (wasn't the struts, wasn't the swaybar bushings or endlinks, etc.) but when they had fixed it, the sound was gone - so my guess was something wasn't tightened down when they put it all back together and maybe making intermittent contact or something like that... everything was working fine, otherwise (they had tried just letting the car boost, and it held pressure fine, etc.)
  20. I'm still in break-in mode, so taking it easy for now. It seems like a good engine - weird thing is Cobb supports the engine in the Ascent, but not in the Legacy/Outback which I would think would be where most of them reside (or at least the ones where folks might be looking for an AP to boost power...)
  21. Just put a couple of for-sale posts for the interior and engine stuff - will shortly put up one for an Accessport and anything else I find around.
