Dr. Photo

I am very sad at what the 6G forum has become. I'm sorry guys but ask this bitterness and arguing over absolutely nothing worthwhile is why I stopped logging on for months. I will be coming back solely to post updates about anything regarding the legacy, but there's no way I'm stopping by to read anything on this site anymore. Sorry guys, but many of you have ruined the idea of community that once existed on this forum.

How did you reach out to him?

Email.

Still waiting for Matt to respond since just about Aug '16. -___-

Shouldn't we be sending in logs after every update we get?

 

I'm thinking if no, then we are getting tunes based on that one original file we sent in.

 

If yes, then wouldn't we be getting updates that are constantly changing the way our cars are as we update?

Try a good octane boost to see if power comes back.

 

When last did you change spark plugs?

These cars are pretty new, I doubt spark plugs are the culprit.

From the Outback forum. Pretty interesting.

 

Anyone with the tune have an SSD or Takeda intake? If so did you notice a difference after installing? Why did you pick one over the other?

 

aFe claims 7hp and 6lb-ft on their website

I put in the Takeda then got the tune.

 

I chose the Takeda because SSD wasn't fitted to 6G yet. Personally, I think the Takeda is flashier than the SSD, but I do really like how the SSD keeps the stock box with the charcoal filter in the back.

 

I think as long as you do the ECU reset, then your car will learn that it has a slight increase in airflow, if any is present.

Legacy is electronically limited to 120mph - so you hit the speed limiter....

 

But Matt can remove the limiter for you

I'm going to give it a shot and try to get up to 125 again to see if I'm crazy.

I've hit 125 before. That's the weird part, I didn't feel it back then.

Yesterday I "tracked" my car against another 6G legacy with a Bill Kolb Jr. back plate frame. Quite a run!

 

I noticed that when I hit 120mph that the CVT hesitated. It would just gurgle at redline and not shift into 6th gear. Maybe this has something to do with TH's tune?

I'm using wheel specs that aren't in the consolidated tables on Pg.1 of this thread, so I thought I'd share.

 

Swapped out my stock 18" cast wheels for used Prodrive GC-010E (http://www.prodrive-japan.com/en/products/gc_010e_forged) 18 x 8 ET43 forged wheels, which are a discontinued model. Weighed in at 8.2kg (18.1 pounds) vs 11.3kg (24.9 pounds) stock.

 

They had lots of kerb rash and gold wheels aren't my thing, so I had a shop repair them and respray them gloss black.

 

Before respray:

Reused my stock 225/50R18 Dunlop Sport Maxx 050 tyres because I like the comfort and the way they fill up the wheel arches without making me splurge on bigger wheels:

They poke 18.6mm more than stock - enough to look a bit more flush, while still giving me space within the arches to lower the car without worrying about the rubbing I was getting in the rear, back when I was using 25mm spacers with the stock wheels:

As you can see, plenty of clearance for my AP Racing front calipers:

Rears are of course fine too:

That is one sexy farkin legacy. [emoji7] [emoji7] [emoji7] [emoji7]

Has anyone put the outback front bumper and suspension on their legacy yet, Creating any 6th Gen outback sedans, because I plan on doing it here over the winter. I am also looking for good solid wheels and the wheel thread seems to be only street wheels. So would anyone want to assist me in my project or tell me how dumb it sounds? Any known obstacles I will face with a suspension swap?

I actually love the idea. Just out of curiosity though, why do you want to do this?

Hey everyone, I bought the tactrix and connected everything to my car but the ecuflash software doesn't give me the option to read the ecu. What am I doing wrong?

Can you post screenshot of options?

Maybe I'll try the 30mm bar???

 

Heard Perrin's new bar is over 9000.

It's great to have you rhombus. This forum is exactly that, a forum. A place for many minds to share their experiences for the greater good of all owners. We all bring something different to the table on hopes for achieving a better end result. I'm very thankful to have found this website.

 

Getting a little less deep, right now I'm between the 20mm STI bar and the 22mm white line bar. The 20mm is only 90 bucks at my dealer, and the 22mm is like 220 and God knows how much the shipping is..

 

For those who own the 20mm, do you find yourself longing for a stronger solution, or are you content with your upgrade?

 

For those who own the 22mm, do you feel it's 150% better than the 20mm, to justify the 150% price increase?

I have the 24mm bar, I freaking love it. Tightened her up like crazy.:spin::spin:

Post a pic of your Legacy in the middle of a hurricane.

 

Bonus points if there is a flying cow in the shot.

Email these pics to Subaru with the subject "How to sell more Legacies"

 

I agree, from factory this car would be perfect with those rims.

Hub center is 3"

Anyone know where I can get some 3" center caps?

Just popped on a set of Kosei K8R rims paired with Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals. Definitely a slight improvement in throttle response.

 

Pics to come tomorrow!

****update****

 

flashed my 1st tune today and the difference is unbelievable already and i've only driven about 15 miles!! Very happy with my decision to go forward with this and i'm sure the others who have done the same can attest to this. 7,000 miles and my car has finally woken up!

yes yes yes

Dr. Photo, could you post a pic of the stock front sway bar and take a few measurements? Like overall width, end link mount to end link mount, and distance from the main shaft out to the end link mount?

Measurements are up.
