  1. Those sound nice, I know they're super light. Got pix? How much!
  2. Hmm,getting the new pin installed is a little harder than I thought it would be. Ran out of daylight, I'll give it another shot tomorrow.
  3. BTW the spring pin is one part, it has similarly shaped inner and outer portions.
  4. I'm going to use Black08LGT's technique to install the new pin.
  5. Well, as that baggy pants'ed rapper says: "Hammer Time!". I took a screw with an ID that would fit inside the pin and a head that was large enough to push the pin thru but small enough to go thru the hole. I greased it up real good so it would stay inserted and just hammered away until it came out. I have a new one so I wasn't concerned about trashing it.
  6. Any advice on getting the pin out? The manual just says 'extract the pin', which suggests there's a special tool? I'd really rather not remove it as it's fine but I have to replace the bushings on the adjacent link and the bolt is facing the driveshaft, so it's not coming out even if I get it unscrewed. I have a spare pin so I don't really care if I trash the one in there. Also, there seems to be some sort of pin on top that inserts into the pin shown on the diagram but there's no reference to it in the drawing or ass/disass instructions.
  7. Added infamousperformance to OP. Moderator, can you move this thread to Vendor to Member Sales as it has info for all Legacy owners.
  8. '05 - only year you could get a GT 5MT wagon.
  9. Updated list and checked all links. Amazingly enough they all work!

  12. I just updated the OP with additions from other posters and deletions of deceased sites.
  13. Thanks! Turns out I didn't get all the pix, especially the body, the first time. Can't be a great vacation w/o pics of bodies:)
  14. Sweeeet! Then I looked at the price...yikes! Well, the forged ones anyway.
  15. All the abovelisted sites are pretty close in price. It'll probably come down to availability and shipping costs. Good hunting!
  16. Uh, at the moment wrong:( Just rotated and forgot to fix the pressures. When they're correct I run 38/36 cold. Alas, it appears that Tire Rack has sold out of the $88 SLs. All they have left is the XLs at $135, which is still not a bad price. Unfortunately the current special is buy 4, get an El Lameo ESPN Prize Pack. If you wait maybe they'll rerun the gift card promo. Regardless I think you'll be very happy with these tires.
  17. Bump for update to my Goodyear F1 review, post #7.

  19. #1) Goodyear F1 GS-D3, 215/45-17 XL, Max Summer, $88 ea. + $40 gift card from T/R, ~5K miles so far. #2) Cowtown, TX., where the West begins and the bu$^#&it ends:) #3) Does pissing off a Carrera S count as a driving 'event'? If not then strictly non-competitive travels. #4) At least 80/20, maybe more. #5) RE92s and Toyo T1Rs. #6) These tire is GREAT! Much better cornering and braking than either of the other two. I haven't noticed any increase in tire noise as others have noted, but I usually have the tunes cranked so... It's been a real drought here since I bought them so I have almost NO miles in rain but on the rare occasion I did get out in the wet they seemed to be fine. I'll update when I have a chance to push them in the wet stuff. Please note that these are the XL versions so I don't know how much, if any, difference there is performance-wise between these and the SL versions that are currently on sale at T/R. Wet update: excellent! It poured over the weekend so I went out to check my SS brake line install and do a wet traction test. Great braking performance - I had a hard time getting the ABS to engage. Pretty good hydroplaning performance. Standing water at edge of the road didn't pull the car that direction as badly as other tires, but puddles in the middle of the road tended to bump the car sideways. Great cornering performance. There's a constant radius curve on my test road and I went thru it several times in both directions. My speed was pretty close to my normal spirited pace thru there in the dry with no discernable loss of traction. Bottom line: BUY THESE TIRES!!!

  21. There are several reasons to hate DRLs. First, as other posters have pointed out, they make it easy to drive at night with your taillights off. Second, as a former motorcyclist I liked the fact that my DRL made me more conspicuous on the road during the day. Once a significant percentage of cars have DRLs that safety feature is negated. Finally, and most importantly, it dumbs down the process of driving a car, requiring less thought, and therefore less focus, on the job at hand. I WANT to be responsible for operating the lights so I have to make a conscious decision about whether or not to use them based on light/traffic/weather conditions. As the car takes over more and more responsibility for the its own operation it requires less effort, and therefore less competence, from the driver. Where's the fun in that?
