You can eliminate the Start/Stop feature..The Front Cam would be nice for those High Parking Stones when your lowered.. Definitely not a fan of the Infotainment Setup.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Well Sti has done plenty of R&D on there products or they wouldn't sell it.. I think the SSD Version had solid end pieces.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Sti makes one and a cheap Ebay version is out there.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Might be long but might benefit some 3.6r Owners.. Some of you might remember me posting about a busted radiator cap and how worried I was about the lost pieces. Well after getting all my parts I thought I needed plus getting some custom cerakoting done and powder coating I finally dropped it off at the shop last week for the following service/repair.. Miles 160k Replaced the Following Parts Radiator- Bought a Koyo Thermostat- OEM Subaru Water Pump - Gates Timing Chains (3) - OEM Subaru Hyd Tensioners (3) - OEM Subaru Chain Guides (8) - OEM Subaru Front Torque Mount - OEM Subaru Idler Sprocket - OEM Subaru Crank Sprocket - OEM Subaru A/c Condenser O Rings (2) These were the major parts that I replaced.. I wasn't expecting to replace the Chain Guides but unfortunately they were showing train track wear marks I'll post up a picture.. Also the Idler Sprocket, Crank Sprocket and Front Torque Mount were unexpected.. Since my A/c Condenser was removed they changed the O rings and Serviced my A/c System. I run my A/c quite a bit here in SoCal and never serviced it has been blowing cool air but was about 1/2lb low on Refrigerant So I think thats not bad for 6.5 years old.. Just wanted to share this information because you might think your car is running good but under the covers might have issues going on.. I don't drive my car hard only long distances and sometimes rough azz California Freeways thats probably why the Front Torque Mount Rubber fell out when they removed the mount..Car was running strong without any issues just got nervous with that busted radiator cap and the amount of miles I had plus all the driving I do going to car shows.. And speaking of Car Shows since all the work was getring done I decided to Cerakote my Timing Cover and Powder Coat the Timing Bolts.. The Cover and Bolts are New OEM parts I bought.. Thanks for Reading the Book I hope this helps out people here on the forum.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Should have bought a WRX if you wanted to race Hondas.. The CVT can't handle that much power.. Cobb tuning has tried tuning a Turbo Forester and Wrx and it won't even hokd there Stage 2 Kit without blowing the CVT..[emoji17][emoji17] Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

On that note if you replace the windshield the shop does an Alignment check and calibrate.. It's fast and simple seen my guys do it on my car 3 times now..Plugs into my OBD Port turns key in and does its own thing for about 2 to 3 minutes.. The shop told me they have to get a reading of 90% or better it took us a few times to find the sweet spot because of my air suspension but now we hit 98%.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I have Eyesite on my 15' 3.6r and have several alignments outside the dealership.. We did a typical 4 wheel alignment with no issues.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Don't do it. The 3.6r Engine is the Best Engine Subaru made IMO... 2.4 Turbo detuned and the Big Ol Display Panel with Heating and Cooling controls kinda sucks if you want to upgrade a stereo..[emoji17] I love my 15' 3.6r Upgrade the Suspension and it rips the canyons Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Sorry this happened as well.. Keep us posted on what Subaru finds.. This is another reason why I steer clear of full electric vehicles.. Never know what kind of things can happen.. Too many factors involved. One pissed of person and a good Hacker and Pow Auto Shutdown on the entire fleet.. (I'm talking about Tesla).. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

This is correct I have HK system and there is a 4" speaker hiding in there.. Center Channel.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I believe the 3.6 is still different than the BRZ.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I'm in Socal so I just run High Performance All Seasons Year around.. We don't have a Sport Sedan so nonneed to buy High Performance Summer Tires. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Actually my Independant Subie mechanic has had a few come through the shop with the same problem.. Who knows what causes it. High Mileage failed part who knows.. What sucks I can't get a nice cap because the 3.6 has a different cap than the 2.5.. I tried a STI Cap wouldn't fit..[emoji35] Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I was about 4.5hrs from home weather was over 85° most of the way home.. Temps were fine on the gauge and I was watching on my Steering Wheel and actual temp never went above 215 going up the grade, but the next day when I opened the hood I saw coolant splattter all over the driver side of the engine bay so I guess it was blowing coolant out from under the broken cap.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

That's very good to see that.. I'm actually taking mine to service next week for a Radiator change and Water Pump just because after my long road trip (3,865 miles roundtrip) in Hot Weather I broke my stock Radiator Cap and pieces are hopefully stuck in Radiator.. at 158k miles decided to change everything except the Timing Chain.. I bought 3 Tensioners, pump, seal and thermostat as well.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

A good stereo shop will have everything you need and definitely make it look nice with some trim pieces to make it look like it fits.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I good stereo shop could make a aftermarket head unit look nice but if you want to go back to a stock HK UNIT I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work with your car since that's what you have now. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I usually go to the dealer to change my oil at 5k intervals and I notice around the 4k miles I'm almost a quart low. Been that way since I bought it new.. I'm a 20 year Subaru owner so I know to check the oil now and then.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Periodically check resevoir bottle when engine is cold should be between low and full. Typical Subaru's coolant tends to evaporate off over time.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Since the Legacy isn't really a sports sedan I bought Achilles High Performance All Seasons they have a 400 tread wear and suit me just fine and actually pretty inexpensive. Won't kill your pocket book.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Well added some more details to my Engine Bay since Car Show season is back on track after the dreaded 2020 Covid Crack Down.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I have 3.6r and do Synthetic Oil Change at the Dealer and never is above 70.00.. O think thats a little high..[emoji848] Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

I would say the cost you are paying for is the labor.. I know to access my 3.6r Timing Cover Bumper and Radiator and Fans have to come out.. I'm getting ready to hit the shop myself to Replace my Radiator with a Koyo and do a Water Pump, Thermostat and Timing Tensioners and have my New Timing Cover Installed..

Sometimes it depends on what model dyno is used... Also if the tuner matched the CVT with the Engine ECU Since they work together.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk

Nice good to see some Dyno Numbers on the 3.6r.. I have AFE Intake as well but stock exhaust.. Sent from my SM-G988U using Tapatalk
