The low profile JDM ones you can crack the window and stay dry as well. I just think they are too bulky is all

The Rajins look good on the SWP wagon. I still think those rain guards on it need to go though. Too big

I hadn't looked at the file names for the screen shots

Not gunna quote because there's a lot to quote but savethewagons since you are getting the bumper repainted and want to not run a front plate it's worth the extra money and time in bodywork for them to shave the rectangular part and shape the bumper rather than running a "plate delete kit" those are the cheesiest waste of money I've ever seen.

Did the North Cascade loop with kalien32 over the weekend. Unfortunately I had to work Saturday when him and some other friends drove Hurricane Ridge on the Olympic peninsula.

 

Yes! So glad he sold it to you rather than some other guy that was trying to start a bidding war!

Not according to Boxkita. He buys more that don't work to add to the fleet of parked LGTs in the garage.

Love this car man. What roof rack are you using there?

Thanks! I have Yakima feet, crossbars, and bike trays.

Is that the biggest box Yakima offers? If so that gives me hope I can steal my parents box when I need added space!

 

And @xt2005bonbon he doesn't just have a dog. He has 2 big super loving dogs! I kinda wanted to steal them when I helped with his water pump.

She is sagging a bit. And what was the gas mileage?

Yeah it always appears to sag because I set my height to have the ssideskirt even with the ground but it's definitely a bit more with gear in the back. Idk what gas mileage was but it couldn't have been awful because my info screen shows 19.2 and I know when I left it was at 17.2.

Went and did a 9 mile loop at Camp Tamarancho this morning. Muddy in some parts but the flow trail was dry. Found a few things on my bike that need attention and probably won't get till I move back home to WA in a week and a half. Forgot to take any pictures while riding but my friend got one on the way home with our bikes on my car.

Which are more "comfortable"?

 

KW V2 and V3's. Better valving to match the springs.

How are the isc coilovers?

What front top hat option did you go with?

What damping setting did you go with?

What are your spring rates?

 

I like them personally but I've ridden in cars with more comfortable coilovers. I have the pillow ball tophats with the camber adjustment. Damping is full firm and spring rates are 8k front and 6k rear IIRC.

From my short trip home a couple weeks ago. VW needed water in Medford Oregon and Oil in Seattle.

 

 

And Brandon just loves photographing my carbon rear garnish. I'm not complaining. One of my favorite little touches on my car.

 

Rattsl ran the same tires Famaya had and then went to same size 255/35 when he got new tires that aren't Bariums.

 

Looking at the screenshot from willtheyfit posted by Rhitters strut clearance shouldn't be an issue with the wider wheels. Definitely would need about 1.5* camber to help them fit a little better but really nothing too bad.

Did Adan end up wiring the second relay as a sort of latch for the relay that triggers the rear fog to turn on that when it receives a second high signal of the switch turning on it turns off? I've been thinking about how to do mine and have contemplated using an Arduino to run it.

Definitely to second this, Eastside is the only dealership I trust with my car and Nichi always takes care of me. It's nice to drop my car off knowing it will be taken care of to my high standards and not taken out for a joyride by a tech.

 

 

 

Nichi is who he's referring to and is great! As Gunnar mentioned he also drives a heavily modified LGT wagon.

 

Yeah I had PM'd SC with his name. I just wasn't sure about posting his name on here. But anyway I'm tempted for any future dealer required work I need done to make the hour drive down to Eastside purely because of how well they treat their customers.

 

He didn't have his wagon at work that day though. He's been driving his Carerra C4S he bought more than he originally thought he would :lol:

Use at your own risk. Tino's Automotive in Lynnwood. Recently lots of reviews have surfaced on Facebook of people having bad experiences there. Granted it seems most of the people having issues are are kids (I know they are the same age as me. I'm ashamed) that want to just beat on their cars with no sense of the respect and attention the cars require. However with that in mind use at your own risk.

Its cherry blossom time in WA. I wish I was there for it more so I could get more pictures but these will have to do.

A couple pictures from my short trip home this past week. I cherry blossoms.

As far as dealerships go I'm not the biggest fan of going to the dealer for work to be done. However my experience today with Eastside Subaru in Kirkland was absolutely fantastic. I got on the list yesterday for the dash extended warranty and had the dash replaced today. Dropped my car off at 9:30 this morning and they immediately grabbed it and got to work. Gave me a loaner for the day and then I came back around 4 to check on everything and they took me back into the shop to see the car as the tech was putting it back together. Got it back around 4:40 and was on my way home. It hadn't occurred to me at first but they must have written down all my radio presets since when I started driving home all my presets were still there. Definitely A+ customer service and work quality. Also helps that the Service Advisor I talked to is also an LGT owner and is one of the best service advisors in the area as far as I've heard.

In for the inevitable bought a white wagon in the future.

Rhitter I think your clutch just had issues. I've never driven a manual as difficult as your car was to do. Hopefully your new clutch will be much better for you.

Get it up as high as you can on jackstands, get a harbor freight trans jack, Downpipe and midpipe have to come off. drain trans T70 needed, Undo all the heat shields under the car, undo driveshaft at rear diff and pull out of trans. I undid the ball joints to pull swing the hubs out to pull the front axles out of the trans. Undo all the bellhousing bolts. undo pitch stop and undo trans x-member with trans supported by jack. I found lowering the trans a bit and then putting a 2x4 to keep the engine slightly tilted back from the core support helpful. Then I went up a little bit on the jack and wiggled the whole trans as well as used some metal paint scrapers to do a little bit of prying to separate the engine and trans. As the gap got bigger I then switched to a prybar to help create more separation and made sure to keep it even all the way around.

 

If I think of anything else from when I did my clutch swap I'll let you know. And I don't remember if the 08 has t50+ flywheel bolts but if it does make sure you have a t50+ socket. The method of putting tape on a regular t50 doesn't work.

Rad hoses are the ones I want, but I'd also like the tube that flows into the coolant overflow tank as the venair kit never came with it.

 

Just for you bby
