Correct me if I'm wrong but if Subaru took down the Starlink 3G network that Navigation still won't work after the upgrade no? Or does this update somehow still work with the Starlink 3G network that supposedly went down?

Can this go on any year model legacy?

Agree, I would not waste time and money for a street car. I did make up the steel braid fuel and oil lines on the race. Also worked in Aero-Space where I worked with AN fittings, etc. every day. 

I did replace most of the OEM hoses back in May 2012 when I had the engine out, the car had 154,000 miles at that time. I did replace the coolant cross over pipe a second time last Aug, 2022 when I had to replace the OEM oil pan because it rusted and began to leak...on my new garage floor. That was done when the car had 302,000 miles.

Don't be in a hurry to spend your money.

If you're young, do your homework. Your question is a good start.

 

Have you made a list of what you want and put prices for each item with it ?

Unless you can understand Tuning, (open source) you'll want a Cobb AP, $700 for all your MOD's.

The vf52 turbo, catted Dp, Grimmspeed tmic work well together, on stock fueling my wagon made 280whp/300ftlbs on a Heartbreaker Mustang Dyno. I put over 150,000 trouble free miles on that set up. That vf52 was installed at 142,000 on the car, ten months before I decide to keep the car and then did an ej257 short block, ARP head studs, May 2012

You can see my story in my "click here" link in my sig. It has become the poster child for how to do it right the first time. I put a lot of thought and lesson's learned from being on this forum since 2004 into my plan.

 

 

 

I'm aware of your setup Max. Been lurking and asking questions on the forums for a couple years now. I will just ask my builder what can be replaced. Thanks for the input, however I would like MY engine bay in MY car a bit more neat. So if I gotta spend a bit more for quality stuff I'm ok with that.

Thanks.

Anything you want can be replaced.  It can be rather expensive and is not always a good idea.  There are several considerations to take.  AN and race plumbing have a place and purpose.  But they are not maintenance free and routing can be "cumbersome" at times.  I have had customers introduce interesting situations running their own AN lines. 

Then I guess the question becomes what would be worth changing to braided lines as it seems more durable for the longevity of the car? Any sites in particular that you use for the braided lines and an fittings? My concern is NOT money but making sure the car lasts.

Hi All - 

tried doing a search for this but nothing really came up that matched what I was looking for. I am replacing a ton of stuff in my car - turbo, intercooler, uppipe, downpipe, exhaust, inlet hose, bpv, injectors, fuel pump, adding fuel pressure regulator. Which lines can be braided lines? I know the turbo and injectors can from research, any others while the motor is out the car I want to replace whatever lines I can to braided ones with an fittings.

Thanks All.

 

Would be nice to know about the other parts of the door and if indeed included center console. 

Have these been tested to ensure they fold in and out properly?

So this is for the front and rear seats including the headrest on the front seats?

So you had these folding in and out via the switch? I bought a pair of mirrors from ebay and one of the mirror don't fold right. I bought the harness from legacyoddsnthings so is the wiring on the mirrors altered or can I just plug this into my setup?

6. 2 OMT 1" wheel spacers 5x100 $30

These have maybe 50 miles on them. I bought 4 spacers but 1" turned out to be too much for the front so I ended up going with 0.75" in the front. If you want perfect fitment with stock wheels on your outback or legacy(maybe) this will work for the rear.

 

Can I use these for the rear wheels?

Isn't there a turbo kit for the N/A motor? I remember seeing this somewhere on the internet.

Madrig,, can you make CF roof cover overlay like vivid's?

That's pretty cool, you plan on doing that to your LGT? I'm thinking of doing Hood and Trunk, you think the Roof would be overkill? lol..

If you want a matching scoop, you could take a picture of the hood when it comes in and send it to Madrig and he could help match as best to something he has.

 

That’s not a bad idea but I may have to bite the bullet and try to get it beforehand because it’s cheaper to ship the hood to a business. I will PM Madrig and get pricing for the scoop. Thanks Infosecdad!

Vivid is just a distributor, they show a couple hoods.

 

Is it this one?

VIS doesn't mention the scoop anywhere, even on their own site.

 

My guess it that it won't have the scoop, as it's technically not part of the hood, but you could ask them.

 

First link is the one I'm getting. Thank you sir.

mostly this will match your hood , 2x2 weave the most popular on the market .

 

what brand is your carbon hood ? i can use other fabrics of course .

 

The hood is from Vivid Racing. So are you saying I will need this hood scoop? From the pic it looks like it comes with.

money talks. madrig is accommodating, however, the process can be expensive for one-offs

 

I don't think that answered my question but thanks for your little rant there. The internet is a fun place.

If I ordered a carbon fiber hood, does the scoop come like what's pictured there? Wondering if I would have to get this to match my hood?

I'll plug this into my legacy-odds-end harness & test them out.

 

Any updates?

I'll plug this into my legacy-odds-end harness & test them out.

 

Thank you sir.

 

No idea, but I've been getting a lot of spammers trying to sell me anything anytime I post that I want/need something.

 

Ahhhh gotcha.

Why does this guy Tayediggs5087 reply when you PM Moddingbug?

I'll take the mirrors, I just wanna know if they fold properly. PM sent. Money ready.

How are you wiring these up to your car? I have a set coming and want to make sure I have it correct. I know black is ground, but what is power? I could test them.

 

I believe RED is power, I didn't wire them up myself but from what I saw for the hex halos there was a black and a red. Black being the ground and red being the power.

Here are my custom lights from Circuit Demon. The way my lights are custom'd they cost me $1200. These lights are 1/1. I'm addressing some wiring for the hex halos that's why the plastic is still on the lights and my bumper was off.

Bringing this back from the dead, I purchased a remanufactured VF48 with billet compressor wheel.
