Nice OBXT and Saabaru! -
Gigs 2006 Legacy GT Limited Wagon and STi Wagon
LatentWagen replied to Gigs's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Wow that's an old set then! I have CE's from '02 that do have the stamps, and I thought they were antiques 15-20 year old designs and forgings still holding up strong today, that's quality. -
Gigs 2006 Legacy GT Limited Wagon and STi Wagon
LatentWagen replied to Gigs's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Silver with blue stickers! But are you sure those are legit Volks? They look to be missing the stamping. Forged, monoblock, rays eng., etc. -
Check (and listen) for possible sources of mechanical rattles, like from a heat shield, or a suspension component. We had some similar knock (DAM reduced as well) on the Saabaru due to loose-fitting caliper pins, the tap-tap/rattle had the knock sensor picking up big events. New o-ring around the pin and no more false knock.

Quirks with these cars......fun post!
LatentWagen replied to TheTurboRook's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
It's the space between the mirror and bracket, that "folding hinge"... sometimes there's a part number sticker in between there too, that flutters and whistles. -

My '92 Volvo has an OEM boost gauge in the exact same spot. Would've been cooler than the MPG gauge. They could've also put one in the info/gauges part of the navi display, instead of the uselessness they put there... -

The "instantaneous" mileage gauge is a BMW feature that Subaru tried to adopt, IMO unsuccessfully. The BMWs have numbers, at least. In my spec B, there are 3 nearly useless MPG gauges and NO boost gauge The way I read it, the dead center of that instant MPG gauge is your average fuel economy, say 21.2 or whatever is on the ticker for A or B. The gauge only really shows if you're above or below that average, and by how much, relatively speaking. -
2007-2009 Spec.B Production Numbers

Burgundy = RRM = Ruby Red Metallic. 13 made, according to the list. -
130K and over 1qt every 1k
LatentWagen replied to quick4dr's topic in Engine Rebuild Threads (Engines Only)
I read it as you were saying an 18g was going to make 420 on 93. But, even quick's setup won't make a legit 420 to the wheels on 93. Those are inflated numbers, IMO. On ethanol, 420 is doable. But on pump, 375 is more like it. However, if he went out and ran low 11's @ over 120MPH, I would believe the 420 on pump. -

420 on 93 out of an 18g?! I see you are talking "brenHP" which are measured differently. A legit 375 is not low at all, IMO. -

Just another misfire/rough idle thread...
LatentWagen replied to StkmltS's topic in Turbo Powertrains (2.0GT, 2.5GT, 2.5XT)
Did you swap around injectors, too? Hopefully it's a malfunctioning injector at idle... on the other end of the PITA spectrum, a poorly seated exhaust valve won't always show up on a compression test. -
Rhitter's Build Thread

Truth. Boxer Sound whether EL or UEL! Just listen to a JDM STi or a new 4cyl Porsche Boxster -

Looks like a very clean car, nice starting point! How are those 160k OEM Bils holding up with the S-techs?
