    Cobb Accessport

    in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )

    You can flash to a stage zero tune if you want to keep the AP tied to the ECU, or just uninstall it to return the car to the factory settings, then just reinstall it when the issue is resolved. My only concern would be if you had it at a dealer and they tried to flash the ECU with whatever software updates are available from Subaru and that somehow messed up your AP so it wouldn't work without getting it reset by Cobb, so I'd want to unmarry/uninstall it rather than flashing a stage 0 tune - however, if you make the shop doing the work aware, you should be fine.

     

     

    Thanks. It’s been throwing some big numbers in the fine knock category. So I want to go back to factory until I get it squared away.

    Wasn’t sure if I could do this with success?

    Blew a head gasket, and wanting to change back to oem ecu. Can I just go into the accessport and flash the oem setting back onto the car?

    Just want to be safe until I can get it to TurninConcepts.

    Doesn’t seem like the boost was the issue, according to Wagner Subaru (18psi max) isn’t crazy. However still blew head gasket in a car with 60k miles on it?

    Thanks again all.

    Head Gasket

    This car has been through it! A tornado and a hit and run.

    I now have a head gasket gone bad. Wagner wants $2900, at least.

    Can someone point me to a thread? Don’t honk this is something I can pull off, but I’d like to see what you guys have done.

    Also waiting for TurnInConcepts to call me back.

    Thanks all!

    Ben

    Those do look nice...I am growing weary of the dark wheels on swp car. I would love to strip them and polish then clearcoat. If only I had the time.

    I went in to have em look at the wheels bc I hit some moon craters near GE on I-75 in Cincinnati that did spoke rash! No rim rash at all! So must have been DEEP! Next thing ya know I’ve got black wheels?!? All aided by the fact that I finally built my snow tire set. Haha

    5th Gen owners....who are we??

    Ben 45 Dayton Ohio

    Firefighter/Paramedic

    First car 1983 Z28

    First Subaru was a 2003 WRX

    Current car...

    2010 LGT 26K miles (acquired 2013)

    Mostly suspension mods bc stock was WAY too sloppy. Planning on upgrading more parts as they wear out?!?

    Rear sway bar

    Eibach springs

    Koni struts... thanks to this forums leader!

    The craziest thing about this car is that I had to fly to Wisconsin to buy it...?!? No one was interested in helping me out. Then the universe tried to kill this car three time on the drive home. 1. Railroad tie in the lane I had just moved out of!!

    2. Garage door flying out of a scrap truck!!

    3. Box turn signal flying off truck next to me!!

    The only warranty I bought from the dealership was for tires... since I had a 6+ hour drive home. Sure enough picked up something in a tire not long after getting it home. Took it to the closest Subaru dealership (not my preferred shop, but good enough to fix a tire) and they were all over the car! Offered to buy it the next day! Obviously they didn’t recall me asking them if they could get it shipped down here for me?!?

    This forum is top notch and has helped me a lot, so thanks to everyone in the 5th gen forum!

    LGT Owners, what car will you drive next?

    It's rather sad to me that the closest alternative replacement for the LGT is the upcoming 2017 Ford Fusion Sport w/twin turbo 2.7L V6 & AWD w/325HP & 380FP for ~$35K. I've never been that big a fan of Ford, nor the other domestics now that I've been spoiled by my Subaru LGT and Toyota Sequoia.

     

    The LGT was my 1st Subaru and I've really become a HUGE fan of the effectiveness of Subaru AWD here in Syracuse NY where we average 10 feet of snow per season. I'm not so sure that the Ford Fusion AWD system will be anywhere near as effective, and since I put ~20K miles per year on my commuting vehicle, that's a serious concern. I've read that the new Lincoln MKZ & Continental will be optionally available with the same "torque-vectoring" AWD setup as the Ford Focus RS, and wonder if that would compete better with Subaru AWD.

     

    I've been considering getting a powerful, dynamic RWD car to drive for 6 months, and then relegate my LGT to winter driving status for the rest of the year, but I'm not sure it would be worth it to me to maintain 2 separate commuter vehicles in terms of maintenance, repairs, insurance, etc.

     

    As a replacement for my Legacy GT, I've put together a short list of ~$34-45K vehicles in no particular order:

     

    1. CPO Lexus GS 350 AWD

    2. CPO Lexus LS 460 AWD

    3. CPO Volvo V60 R-design or Polestar AWD

    3. 2017 Ford Fusion Sport AWD

    4. 2017 Mazda CX-9 AWD (no sports car, but a cool vehicle. Imagine a Mazda 6 2.5 turbo AWD!)

    5. 2018 Subaru WRX (pending redesign specifics of course!)

     

     

     

    12 pages in before some mentioned the Lexus?!? Haha. Nice looking car
