My son turned one last week. Stay away from Rain Man, at all costs. On topic: grabbed some pop-its for the engine bay and oil flap, and a bulb for my reverse tail light. Same guy that gave me a free battery last time. Threw him a dub on lunch and he roundly refused it. I insisted. There was also an Outback XT sitting at the stealership w a cardboard sign on front: don’t move, no transmission. Gex? Donor shells are out there to get the ghost back in it. Someone suggested an 08-09 Legacy wagon, however they weren’t mf’d after 2007. Outback XT was available as a manual wagon until 09. Lowered XT w single color code is pretty sick, imho.

Say it ain’t so. Your wagon was a serious inspiration on these boards. Echoing others, glad you made it home safe. I can’t even ‘thank’ a post about a sick ass wagon’s demise. Keep us posted on your new direction, your build did and will continue to serve as an example of clean modding done well. Feel your pain.

Summer series, continued: last Sunday we celebrated my son’s first birthday at a local park. While wifey’s Forester handled decorations the Legacy got all the coolersx3, chairsx3, single burner stove and stand for the 60 Chicago style hot dogs w all the fixins. Poppy seed buns, yellow mustard, neon relish, onions, tomatoes, pickles, sport peppers and last but not least celery salt. If not aware, ketchup is illegal on dogs for anyone over 5. Not the prettiest pack job, but supplies made for a damn fine day.

Gotta redeem myself, SeanyB;) Summer series, continues: 410 mile round trip to a 50+ person private party/camp out for the Fourth of July. Camp kitchen in a box, home in a bag(tent/mattress/sleeping bag), various camp items and oh, about 20 cases of beer. It wasn’t all modelo, the ipa’s were on the back seat folded down.

Glad I’m having none of these Tesla issues. After six and a half years of semi-cautious ownership, picked up an AP for a great price off the f/s board. Updated from stock map immediately and absolutely loving the difference. Smiled all the way TO the in-laws, fwiw.

Gorgeous wheels. Glws.

Fwiw, the black and yellow lettered plates are an upgrade to a throwback style from the 60’s, known as the Legacy edition. They look sooo much better than white ones and best on darker paint, the contrast is slimming.

Touch the sway bars yet? Many find good bang for buck, esp rear.

Clean, mean color combo.

Ass. Hauled ass in my wagon today.

Fantastic color on that machine. You could leave it bone stock, and post plenty pics, and have peeps in other markets drooling. Happy motoring, whatever you decide.

Had one nibble on the hvac panel. Keep you in mind if I decide to separate.

TL;DR- great deal on aftermarket audio w slight cosmetic imperfection.

Sold sold sold. For asking price, in cash, thanks for playing. Mods please close thread.

Sale pending to a local member. All pm’s replied. Will update status tomorrow.

For sale are two items, gently used and acquired thusly from a member here. Picked this combo up and found the faceplate for the top AVO piece to be a little too biffed for my ocd liking. The HVAC portion is unblemished. To make the Pioneer head unit fit flush, my assumption is the previous owner got aggressive in installing. I have installed a brand new combo of these same items in my wagon and there’s a slight recess (~1/8”) between the radio face and the AVO faceplate piece. Tried to get pics to reflect the cosmetic imperfection, it’s a small chip in the top left and a bit of chewiness on the edge of the top lip. I’m being as explicit as I think I can be, this unit is in great shape besides this blemish, and would be great for someone willing to overlook that or use it for a floating screen, diy gauge project, etc. The only cable included is the single one from mfr, iirc you will need several harnesses/adapters/connectors (i-88?)and a RHD jdm hazard button to complete the install. Check the forums for members making kits and walk thru’s. For the unaware, these retail about $300 on avojdm dot com, postage from motherland is another fifty. Bought used here for $250, asking same OBO plus shipping. The Pioneer AVH-310 EX DVD Bluetooth head unit is also in gently used condition, will ship in new box from my replacement purchase. With manual and new cords included. My installer was kind enough to enable the screen for dvd while out of park, although I wouldn’t recommend that. The Bluetooth is great and brings your cabin into this decade. Mic for speakerphone, aux/usb cable for charging and audio, touchscreen with ‘display off’ option to drive without distractions. Has a decent digital EQ w presets and custom modes. I’m enjoying mine so far and get nothing but compliments from passengers. Retails new for around $300. Bought used here for $200, asking same OBO plus shipping. Will consider package deal, not willing to separate the AVO pieces at this time. Brackets for head unit will stay with them, for purchase purposes. AGAIN: after denying myself this upgrade for years, I bought these here sight unseen bc they fly so fast. Pics were not uploaded to the PO fs thread. He didn’t break any rules and I’m not whining about it, just rather someone here benefit from my mistake. I’m reselling these as I replaced them with new identical parts to suit my ocd preferences. Prices are OBO.

For sale is an unmarried Cobb Accessport AP3 Sub 002, picked up used from a member here. In my haste, I bought the wrong version for my model year. This one is specific to 2005/2006 LGT’s and OBXT’s. Mine is 2007. Cobb case, one obd power cord, mounting cover and two mounting brackets incl. Paid $500 in Feb, asking $450 plus shipping. You can make this work for a later MY if you get in touch with Cobb support and upgrade the device for under two bills. I could too, technically, but other priorities atm.

MDMA is living the Subie enthusiast dream- double wagons for driving, and a unicorn to appreciate aka obsess over. #goals

Nice ig, ej25. Didn’t realize yours was a RHD. Shaping up nicely. Def enjoy the his n hers, wifey just got herself a Forester. And they are never clean at the same damn time. Gave me a lil motivation to get my sti wheels on.

Take a personal inventory. You single? Young? Kids? Will the job have a commute? Save the dough you woulda used to get your Leggy carb-legit and get a beater for traffic. Keep WA plates on the Subie and open up weekend touring ability. Anything you like to enjoy can be found here. Skiing, surfing, hiking, fishing, wining/dining nightlife, incredible scenery, amazing breweries, and on and on…. To be sure, there are associated costs. Locally we call it sunshine tax. Gas stays around 4.50/gal by me in a close neighboring county. Real estate is insane. Groceries can add up. However, Solano county is not LA or the SF Bay area and is little more affordable. Very close to Napa/Sonoma wine region, hop skip to Tahoe, too many spots to name all doable on a single tank roundtrip. I took the plunge here in 2010 and haven’t looked back. Got into my Legacy from a pickup to get further enjoyment out of coastal highways and general adventuring. Still feel like I’ve hardly scratched the surface. I say do it, keep an eye on your bank statements, and live a little.

Get a PO box in WA, fwd mail to CA. Plenty people here drive out of state plates. Can always claim dual residency or recently moved if stopped. Might even save on insurance. Smog is dependent on independent vendors, but the dmv inspection is a whole other animal. Brutal.
