Why do you all keep your old Legacy around?
Kojak replied to Pleides's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Bc bc. My wagon is my dream is my life. Jk. Everyone has said it all already. Those that get it, do. Last wash it occurred to me that I may have a handful of people that understand what my wagon means to me. I’m half on the fence about long term. Then I park after the wash and get a compliment. Makes it worth it. I also happened upon a minty, zero mile ‘17 RS6 wagon. Seems smaller in person. -
Gorgeous

Minty Spec B. Congrats on winning the auction. Since I have a dgm wagon, in CA, w STI pinks and jdm Bilsteins, I salute your taste in mods. Keep on posting this beauty.

Justin's 2007 DGM Spec B Build (Spec Bustin)
Kojak replied to justabeatty's topic in Legacy Photos (2005-2009)
Wave on. That is all. -
Late to the party. Outstanding build.

Happy 2024, maniacs. Had thought of posting last wash of ‘23 or some such but life got in the way. Then so did a possum on the highway. Glancing blow, undertray seems the only casualty. I have nightmares about the insurance dance in a more significant occurrence. Best of luck, Infosecdad. Just look how Gex spun losing his RBP wagon for inspiration.

Sharp. What’s left? Stocking hung w care from the mirror? -
Looking good. +1 on sways and bushings to get better road feel on the suspension setup. When I finally did mine I wondered why I took so long. Vast improvement. Keep up the progress reports.

On topic: threw a P0170 on my morning commute Friday morning. Dash lit up as I got to on-ramp. Couldn’t check code til I got home, unfortunately. Airbox is tight, filter only six weeks old. Took a shot at cleaning the MAF yesterday hoping that could clear it. No dice. Already had a brake inspection on deck this morning so the shop will knock this out first. Hopefully doesn’t stress the wallet too much as I’d like to get new pads all around and finally upgrade to Stoptech ss lines that I prolly got two years ago. Will drop progress report later.

I like Akebono pads, fwiw. Years ago, in my attempt to oem+/jdm-ification update my ride I threw a search into fleabay for STI Legacy. Every so often results still pop up. Lobbing this link to provide inspo and drools. Family manification puts these out of my reach, hope someone else can benefit. Not affiliated with or endorsing seller.

I’ve been staring at the new filter in the passenger foot well for over a month. Long overdue. Drove another hour for work and an hour home, no repeat performance. Temps ranged from low 70’s at ignition to foggy and 60’s over a bay area bridge, then mid 80’s as I was spitting distance to Sonoma Speedway and into Napa. Chalking it up to old cabin filter, odd atmospheric conditions and running my heater for the first time in months last nite. Appreciate the prompt support.

Need to see the hooked up wagons!!!!!!! Volume-2

Heard a loud clunk when opening my sunroof last week. 2-3x. Once it registered, took a few days off of using it out of caution to not have it stuck open. Which made me realize how much I enjoy it. Applied white lithium grease today in abundance, and seems to have smoothed out. Thank the boards again, even omitting the site from search parameters brought up LGT.com results for the correct lube. Nice to have Legacy fam.

Did my JDM dbl din about two and a half years ago, I believe the dimmer hvac display is the universal tradeoff for modernizing the stereo capabilities. Fwiw, my dash instrument dim toggle works well but has zero impact on the hvac brightness. It stays virtually unreadable in the sun. It will dim more if switch turned down but it’s maxed out on bright level. Generally set it before disembarking and just hit the fan buttons as needed. No fun trying to finagle mode on the highway. As w most Legacy quirks, best to just turn up the soundtrack and enjoy the ride. Let’s face it, we’re not driving Teslas.

After handling an oil change interval I won’t admit to here, clean air filter and second round of Betterman’s fuel injector cleaner in the tank, my DTE currently reads about 20 more miles than previous standard. Small potatoes but CA creeping back towards $6/gal. Damn sunshine tax. Every bit counts.

Thanks. Yep, battered and bruised spec b’s. Got em for a song on FS thread years ago even w Canadian shipping. Been eyeing Enkei RPF1’s for way too long myself. The PX10’s are nice. What color you leaning towards? -
