  1. Negative toe is toe out. In the rear, you want absolute zero, to error slightly on positive(in) toe.
  2. My most recent, but not best, picture I currently have. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a69/csxtrainman/14-1.gif
  3. 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited/Loaded. Female, 23yrs. old. Professional escort, dancer, adult performer. First Subaru. I like it OK. 100% Stock.
  4. The fuel filter is built into the fuel pump assembly, and is not on a recommended scheduled maintenance time frame.
  5. Stoptech Slotted Sport Rotors front and rear, $328.94. Carbotech 1521 Pads front and rear, $271. Goodridge SS Brake Lines, $114.96. This is a great setup! http://www.knsbrakes.com/c/car-items/1381_2012+Subaru+Legacy+Sedan+-+2.5+GT%2C+3.6+R
  6. That's right. Fix that rail so we can go track speed, and not have a slow order! Pull apart, or putting a new piece in?
  7. Interesting, because I just sized up to 225/50R18's, and I'd wondered about the spare and the difference in size, considering I'm almost an inch taller than the stock 225/50R17's. I thought I'd just get a 2015 Legacy spare, but then remembered the change to 5x114.3. When I buy snow tires, I plan to run 255/55R17, which is the same height as the 225/50 R18. I wonder if a full size wheel and tire will fit in the trunk and still allow the liner to lie flat?
  8. $1,950 to $10,000, depending on how many runs you want. https://www.sunvalleyroadrally.com/Assets/Driver%20Participation%20Packet_2013_FIN2.pdf
  9. Your exhaust. Is it a full bolt up affair, or did you have to do custom stuff? I see it's an Invidia, but specifics? From what I can see, it looks nice!
  10. Did someone say wax? http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a69/csxtrainman/IMG_20130712_203531_448_zps64a3b977.jpg
  11. For the love of Twilight Blue METALLIC, someone please fix the thread title so it shows the correct spelling My 2013 3.6R Limited http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a69/csxtrainman/ResizedImage_1375316955145_zpsd4ae6dce.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a69/csxtrainman/ResizedImage_1375317042221_zpsfe12bafa.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a69/csxtrainman/ResizedImage_1375223065525_zps8b2b958a.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a69/csxtrainman/IMG_20130712_203340_146_zpsf6232336.jpg
  12. To find the total height increase of an increase in diameter, you divide the total height increase by two. A 1.2" increase in diameter is a .6" increase in height.
  13. Secondly, every Subaru I've had(I'm on my ninth) has been equipped with a speedometer that reads too fast. Slightly increasing the tire size is an easy way to correct this. When my stock 22/50R17 tires need replaced, the size I'm going is 235/50R17.
  14. Incorrect. It would be .6" taller. Diameter divided by two. See...the nazi learned you something today.
  15. While I like the wheels and the car...you should have done more research on the tire size. You went smaller. Larger would have looked a lot better. 245/40R18, or even 245/45R18 would have been much better.
  16. Why would you want a shorter tire than stock for winter time? One benefit to the 55 series is exactly what you said, sidewall cushion...and the other is a overall height increase. The other benefit to the 55 series is the thread is even more narrow than the 215/50R17 that you chose. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Blizzak+WS70&partnum=15TR7WS70XL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes&tab=Specs If you look at the 215/50, the tread width is 7.2". The 215/55 tread width is 6.8". Lastly, the stock speedometer is off "fast" from the factory, and doing a smaller radius only makes it worse(your adding miles faster than you should). Being taller, the 55 series would damn near "correct" the speedometer. I'm sorry I even said anything, I really wasn't trying to be confrontational. The size you choose will be fine, and really...we're talking very small amounts of difference anyway. You've got a great looking car! Please post some more snowy pictures when you can!
