LED tails? Do tell, pics?

 

It was just the oval overlays, but I've been told that they look like LEDs many times.

Sick OBP Legacy GT on Route 1 near Saugus with Brembos, LED tail lights and a spoiler. Honked as he went by. Sweet car.

 

That was me!!!! I liked your ride too. You had a cornell license plate frame, right?

Anyone know if there will be any restrictions on using the VIP discount for the 2010 Legacy/Outback? Or should I be able to tget the discount right away? Has SOA barred use of the discount at new model introduction in the past? I am looking to get the 2010 Outback (despite its flaws) and I would like to do it as soon as possible (since our older car is starting to give out).

 

Are you registered with a club? You should be able to get details of the offer when you are eligible. I should be coming up on eligibility in Sept some time. I can let you know when I hear, but I imagine you'd be ok with an outback, just make sure you follow the suggestions in this thread.

I believe you have to take it from dealer inventory, so no swapping. If you want that car, I would suggest searching local inventories and saying you wanted to go to that inventory when you contact your club.

 

Also, I think this is the best method as opposed to haggling

Someone recently told me that these clubs aren't doing this anymore. Is that accurate? Do we have an updated list of clubs that are still participating?

I have a black leather interior 07 LGT, and I'm thinking about swapping local for cloth. What kind of money are you guys thinking for trades and how would this work exactly?

BTW, its the 07 interior, which has a much nicer feel than the previous ones for those that didnt know

 

It is a much nicer feel because it isn't leather. It's vinyl... it makes it more suscepti9ble to scratches that won't come out. But, it does make it feel much nicer

I was just told by the dealer that Subaru doesn't recommend synthetic oil.

What's up with that? I can't imagine a situation where syn would be inferior to reg oil.

Are they just trying to keep them from lasting forever or what?

 

Mines an XT. They'll have to have a real good reason for me to not protect my turbo with syn. oil.

 

Anyone have any experience with this?

 

There are a couple of very in depth threads on this topic. Search them out and set aside a couple of hours, and you can get every point of view on the subject.

damn! but how come, the engine has 30ooo miles in it i just change it, the fans have to do something with it?

 

Possibly, but it does sound like a head gasket. You should probably take it to a subaru dealer and at least get them to diagnose the problem.

I'm pretty sure the whole thing is made of leather, except for the middle piece where the horn is. My car has almost 60,000 miles and the steering wheel looks great. I think a big thing would be how clean peoples hands are. If you have a dirty job, just keep some handy wipes in your car. Other than that, just care for it like any other leather, conditioner and don't scrape it with your keys, zippers etc.

Gold isn't my thing, but it looks best on red!

If you aren't in a rush, I'd say that you should wait for them to pop up on the classifieds. You save yourself a lot of money that way.

 

Also, you may want to check with King Of Parts. They are pretty awesome at pricing!

Saw a Silver Legacy sedan with cans and a custom plate on Northern BLVD last Thursday headed West. I was in my neighbors blazer and didn't get a good look.

I know the shift plate and center design is different between U.S. and JDM models.

 

However as far as those 2 side pieces that surround the center...the photo appears to be the exact same size/location no?

 

If you look at your car the left (drivers side) has a more severe angle than the passenger side. I don't believe they are the same, but I could be wrong.

Jesse, they are like these kids \/ \/ \/

Reminds me of the kids on getoffourisland.com

 

best website evar!!!! Check out the vids if you get a chance.

How hard is it to pull the console wood trim pieces? The door pieces look like a lot of work...but the console pieces can be pulled from retainer clips?

 

There is also this K2 set sold at japanparts.com but is $700 shipped!

 

This won't work with our cars. The center console isn't symetrical

 

The center pieces do come off quite easily. Search for 'Vacation Pics'. They should give you a better idea of how things work.

he want's to keep it....

 

I haven't delt with seats that have the airbag in them but removing the seat cover is no big deal

 

True for our seats as well. The airbag is attached to the frame.

It sure can be. Just extra hassle.

The heater element is in the cushion. I'm not 100% sure but I believe that you would have to take the leather/cloth off of the cushion to get the heater element out. But if you're not into it, you could just not turn it on, or not plug it in underneath the seat.

Yup!

Good taste! My car looks very similar to yours. Black smoked tails etc.

 

But mine has a hoodscoop, and now some brembos and Prodrives

Thats not right. What about those who remain stock exterior sleeper look.

 

Well, than it is definitely working if our own members can't spot you! You should be proud of your accomplishment and post who you spot

I don't actually have a suby card, so I don't 'earn' suby bucks. The good thing about them is that they are for sale all the time. NASIOC is a great place to find them. The only deal is that you have to get all of them in one name. It works out well if you're buying cheap things ($100-$300), but when you need bigger things (brakes) you really need to hawk on the classifieds to make sure that when a large amount ($1000+) comes up you nab it before anyone else. Somewhat worth it if you have the time. They usually go for $75(US) on the $100 (Suby buck) It's essentially like getting 25% off of any parts you purchase!

lmao suffolk county im gonna have to spring for brembos soon enough but then i will need bigger wheels as well. yours looked nice prodrive?

 

Yup PFF7 18X8

 

When you get them go tyhrough King Of Parts and try to buy Suby Bucks from someone. It's a Killet Deal.

 

By using Suby Bucks, I got front Brembos, rear stoptech rotors, rear Hawk HPS pads, four tires mounted and everything installed for under $1500!

 

I know some of the prices were going up but you can still get s sick deal. Some people wouldn't even sell you the Brembos for what I Paid.

ah yea lol i don't get spotted either that much but wow ur car was looking really nice. I totally got shafted by that bus trying to merge lol but i managed with the stock 2.5 gt ahahah:lol:

 

Good stuff! Thanks for the car compliment. I just got the Brembos and rims on. I guess you don't really realize, but when I was getting them installed the guy was like 'you've got a lot of money and time in this car huh?'

 

Your car looked good too. I'm a big fan of the color. Where are you from on LI?
