Thinking of saying goodbye to the Legacy
Starks replied to driven3's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
It sucks but I understand. I hate even worse the resale value. Shop it around your local Subaru dealer. Might be some guys in the shop who'd appreciate that gem Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -
Haha yeah you nailed it. I think it was the want of something I couldn't quite have at the time and progress towards something similar to that. The legacy interest came at a time where a guy from a niche parts manufacturer from my old Lancer platform moved on to the 4th gen legacy. I took a look at the 5th gens and fell in love. I loved everything about the look. That was my next aspiration. Yeah, no new car made my heart beat yet. Guess I have to wait [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

If it came at a killer price I'd be all over it and be willing to let the Legacy go. I think my interpretation of the future is a little different than others. I work in transportation and my industry is very forward thinking in EVs and AVs. So when I say future I'm thinking within the decade. So if I don't buy a project car in the next 5 -7 yearsish that may be it for a time. Covid hasn't impacted me much but it's got to be a killer deal for me to pick up a for fun toy. It's going to need some value. Also what FLlegacy says about uniqueness too. That was most the reason I got the legacy. I love the oddness and rarity of it.

That's exactly what I'm going through right now. My first car I've kept. I never saw letting it go but It's about 20 years old now. It's got almost every mod I could put on it to make it a fun DD while the Legacy could sit. I'm trying to sell it now I'm worried I can't even give it away for a decent price. The seats and brakes alone could ask 1000 for those but the car isn't worth more than 2700 tops. Watching myself mod a 10 year old car and seeing guys bail on the platform definitely has my eyes open. But there's nothing out there I really want. There's plenty cool cars I'd drive but when it comes down to cold cash, price, and longevity, I'm not considering a gas car. Especially during Covid conditions. Drive ins are a whole new level in an ev with air-conditioning on, no bugs, and such. I'm really looking at the Legacy as this is it. If this goes, I'll probably never own another manual modifiable car. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

What did you buy for your 5th gen today? - V3

Ordered the Corazon carbon fiber trunk spoiler. Just have to wait for it to come over seas. I'm still on the fence with getting it painted black or the red pearl to match the car. I like the black idea because it will match the accents and other black bits on the car like the power fold mirrors but the the carbon patch won't pop as much. If painted red it won't really accent the rear end as much but the carbon piece I'm sure will look great with the contrast. I guess I have plenty of time to think about it.

Sup guys. I've been plugging at these power fold side mirrors. For a little while. Restored mirror tilt functions and have the side markers working! Final thing for me to figure out is the fold. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -

Hey falcor, could you do me a favor and measure the diameter of the turn signal bezel inside the lens? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -

I've been wondering if I can just find these separate. Good catch! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -

Got all the chrome pieces vinyl wrapped and a couple of other trim pieces to match done over the weekend. Have a matte bezel coming and I'm looking at a custom emblem. All came out pretty well I think. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -
Idk what the general consensus is here about EV's and Tesla but you have to give it up. This is some really cool tech and news. Using highly compressed air for acceleration and cornering stability! I was just reading something similar a week ago about one time uses on motorcycles for safety and skid protection. https://electrek.co/2018/06/10/tesla-roadster-elon-musk-thruster-backseat/ Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

5th Gen owners....who are we??
Starks replied to Scooby Fan's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
I'll spill Age: 32 Occupation: State worker Hazardous Materials Project Manager. I oversee various projects in my surrounding counties to remediate contamination sites and negotiate contracts on behalf of the state. Cars: well the Legacy and an 02 Mitsubishi Lancer. The Lancer is pretty modded. 16g turbo, willwood bbk, rear disk conversion, speed density, among other things. Next step: get the DD lancer back on the road (too many people trying to ding the Legacy) cams and in dash nav for the Legacy, a bunch of house stuff (new home owner), and try to vacation in the process [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -

Haha me too. Mine are sitting on my work bench as well. I was waiting to see how Cap's laminx turned out before I ordered. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -
Yeah, Scott is really nice. There's some pretty cool projects there too! Yup, Mikey door my tune. Yeah, pretty much. AEM filter, nameless bpv and axel backs. Honestly, I really couldn't get in it. Going home it was about lunch time, with major construction going on for the I-4 ultimate, and then heavy traffic on I-4. But the little punches I did felt great. And it sounds so nice.

No, this discussion had been helpful. I was already looking at laminx and now know which route I need to go. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -

I spent some time on Saturday evening and Sunday morning dropping the manifold again just to fiddle with the nameless dp. I dented the area near the waste gate and positioned it so there's no more flapper interference. I've become very proficient in taking that thing off. Don't want to do it anymore though. Now I just have to reschedule a date for the tune. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk -
