LGT Owners, what car will you drive next?
mcg_ replied to EvilCamaroSS's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
I bought a 2024 Tesla Model 3 AWD, blue with white interior. Just like Doug Demuro said, “it is the greatest appliance ever” and a stark contrast to my 5th Gen.... My 5th Gen was loud, felt purely mechanical, was comfortable as a battle-axe, and I loved it. In comparison, the Tesla feels completely soulless. That being said, driving to work in the Tesla feels like riding in a cocoon of serenity compared to my 5th gen. I never thought my commute was stressful in the 5th gen, but now, I actually notice how relaxed I am during and after driving. That being said, I loved, loved, loved my 5th gen and shed a tear when it was driver away from my driveway by its new owner. 5th Gen go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! -

Sold. -
Bought these off NASIOC some time ago and left them in box. They appear to have some surface rust but I suspect nothing serious. Comes with springs, valves, and exhaust AVCS gears. Shoot me a DM. I'll try to check my messages daily.

These brackets adapt 2004-2007 STI Brembo calipers to Subaru WRX GR, VA and similar models This includes:: 2008-2021 Subaru WRX 2009-2013 Subaru Forester 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy 2013-2021 Subaru BRZ/Toyota FRS/86 2013+ FRS. I ran these on my 2010 Legacy GT so as to be able to mount the 04-07 rear Brembo calipers. They worked great. I had them sandblasted - ready for powder coating to match your Brembo brake calipers. Also, comes with brand new high quality mounting bolts. Shoot me a DM. I'll try to check my messages daily.

Samco Intake and Coolant Lines
mcg_ replied to acumenhokie's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
I think it has more to do with the AVO hose than the BPV. -

FWIW, the AVO intercooler hose + Kompact BPV fits like crap. I have spent hours fiddling with it and had to buy a silicon elbow hose to make it work but it isn't ideal by any means. -
What did you do to your 5th gen today?? -V4

Long time....but I ported the WG on my BNR VF54-TD05/16G. Maybe get it installed this Spring. Also, saw these on eBay -- https://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-VF54-Header-to-EFR-Turbo-Vband-Inlet-Adapter-fits-2010-2012-Legacy-GT/133388433201. Probably already discussed on here but couldn't find it. -

My family's next car will probably be a Tesla X. Seems like the best kiddo mover that is allegedly not a "minivan." -
STI trans fitted into 5th Gen LGT
mcg_ replied to garygbnj's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
LOL. I'm not sure if you are mocking me or agreeing with me. Good point. My reaction was pretty knee jerk, and I hadn't put much thought into it. I get it from a product perspective. Likely a low volume part. Probably not worth it to set up tooling, etc. for anything less than $800 a set (two brackets, right?). At best case, these guys would sell like 10 sets. From a labor perspective, it is hard to swallow as I suspect that $800 approaches what a creative shop doing it themselves would charge to make these in the process of installing a STI trans. How long to you think it would take a competent automotive fabricator build a set from scratch? To be clear, I've blown plenty of stupid money on less important items for my 5th gen, and if I fried my trans, I'd certainly be buying these. -

Woof. I doubt there will be at lot of takers at that price. -

The part number is 72311AJ050. I think I searched the part number with the word "black" until I found one. Sometimes they are on ebay (like right now ->https://www.ebay.com/itm/72311AJ050-SUBARU-OUTBACK-2010-HEATER-AC-CONTROLS-5TH-GEN-09-09-11-1/333216120664). I think I found mine on ebay.au (the Australia-centric version of eBay). I paid about $50. Also, the Dual/Mode buttons are swapped with the Fan+/Fan- buttons (I presume for right hand drive vehicles). Frankly, I like the controls better on the RHD version but it is a minor difference. -

Been working on this for a while. Hate the brushed metal. Bought black controls, bought a new console piece, bought a double din insert, glued the double din insert piece into console, sanded, more plastic glue, sanded, etc. Then, I tried painting it black but it never looked right so I painstakingly wrapped it in matte black vinyl. A little surprised that the black controls weren't metric.... -
Also, FWIW, the fitment of the AVO chargepipe is terrible. In hindsight, I wish I would have kept the OEM and simply cut off the intercooler-connection end and bridge this area with a 6-inch silicone coupler. Instead, I have wrestled with the AVO-chargepipe half dozen times to get it to somewhat align with the turbo outlet without jacking-up the BPV connection. In fact, I have swapped the connection from the inlet pipe to BPV with a bent silicone coupler to relieve the mess, but it is still a frigg'n mess that is all caused by the AVO chargepipe.

Pretty much my reasoning also. I would probably do Koni inserts if I didn't live in the rust belt (which has reduced both my bilsteins and OEM struts to rust monsters). -

Rear passenger side clunking. I'm thinking by rear right bilstein strut is failing. Thinking about buy Cusco struts. I've searched but I cannot seem to find anybody running them.... Has anybody here installed Cusco struts? If so, what do you think? -

I have a BNR 16G. BNR will also do a HTA68 as well. -
Rear sway bar upgrades summary
mcg_ replied to Scubaboo's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
I feel good about it - great upgrade. I did the 19mm sti bar which was good, and then went to 22mm hollow bar (megan racing) which was better. No downsides. -
Rear sway bar upgrades summary
mcg_ replied to Scubaboo's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Probably not. The primary idea is that the stock arms (that the brackets would reinforce) may break if put under additional stress caused by a large RSB. If the stock arms break, it is cumbersome and costly to fix (bust out the welder). The reason I said "probably not," however, is because Subaru uses beefier RSBs in other cars (like the WRX) and I suspect (but don't know for certain) that their stock arms on the others cars (like the WRX) are any stronger than stock arms on 5th Gen LGTs. That being said, I installed the AVO brackets....
