...I've been meaning to do one of these threads for a while now and I guess I'm just getting around to it after having my car for 4-years now ...well I finally really got the modification ball rolling last year and the plan is to keep it going until reach my end goal, a quick sleeperish family hauler. I think it's still one of the milder LGTs here, but I'm doing my best to catch up Stock: It's hard to believe I picked my Deep Indigo LGT from Lynne's Subaru in NJ a little over 4-years ago. ...we drove all the way up on a Saturday and brought it back the same day, fun times...well other than the tolls. I started the mods pretty slowly with a 40% tint all around, smoked the rear turn signals, and yellow over lays for the foglights. Currently, it's mildly modified with some suspension parts and a Cobb Stage 1 flash. I have bit left on my to do list though.

A few pics of my LGT in it's current mod state. Winter mode A pretty recent pic

...odd, my car is lowered and no one usually says anything

...I'm thinking headers, a full exhaust, and tune. It's also on family and road trip.duty so a blower isn't in the cards. It would be cool if there more suspension options though.

...every time I check this thread I keep wondering how much of this would work on a Tribeca, well except the supercharger

...hmmm, I'm pretty sure I saw the OP on 95 Friday night around the Delaware to Maryland border (on our way back from NYIAS). It looks pretty neat in person, I was stalking you in the silver Tribeca (well until I had to stop for gas) I was able to convince my wife to snap a pic for me though, it's not often I run across other LGT.com people on the highway.

...a Chevrolet SS is at the top of my list. I've had a German car and a few Japanese cars so I think it's probably time for some serious displacement. I would really prefer to keep my LGT though.

...RS*R makes quality stuff.

...pretty much this. Despite much peer pressure from our fellow 48-Hours participants my lovely PM has not yet approved my purchase of the Nameless catback. I'm also planning to go Stage 2/protune in one shot, so I still need/want a new intercooler (waiting on Grimmspeed), diverter valve, charge pipe, throttle body hose, and some other odds and ends. I think I can wait until the winter is over and get some other things done in the meanwhile, transmission parts (short shifter, Group N bushing, and etc) and led lighting upgrades.

...quick q, does anyone know what the diameter of the piping is on the output side of the Raptor headers?

...I missed the order window by a day or two and had to hunt for my LGT online. I found three cars on the east coast and was going to go w/one I found in Ohio but the dealership was annoying so I went w/the DIP I found in NJ. I arranged the deal online and was up the next weekend to get my car

...that's a very nice color.

...I guess this thread is the best place to ask. Am I correct in assuming that the STI 5x100 BBS wheels will still clear the STI Brembos (regardless of year)?

...oh noes

...I was hoping DIP would be the least common color, but 2nd place isn't bad. Thanks Jeni!

...I'll have to replace these w/some better pics later, especially once it's cleaned up. This thread hasn't been bumped in a while though

...Enkei GTC01 19x8 on Continental Extreme Contact DW 245/40/19

...I've got a mod level update. Suspenion mods: Bilstein struts, Swift springs, Whiteline 22mm rsb w/Kartboy end links, STI Flexible strut brace, and 19x8 Enkei GTC01s w/Conti Extreme Contact DW 245/40-19.

...cool, I recall H&R and Bilstein being a popular combination from my VW days.

...I don't recall this being asked before, but does anyone have an opinion on H&R springs vs Swift springs when paired w/the Bilsteins?

...I only made the cranberry sauce and the brine for the turkey tonight. Tomorrow I'll be doing the stuffing and some challah (for french toast and left over sandwiches) and better shorter half will knock out the sweet potatoes and mac and cheese. On turkey day I'll make the desserts and cornbread.

...I'm wondering of anyone else has started on their Thanksgiving cooking already?

...congrats. I really need to work on getting a few certs myself, hopefully I can knock out a few next year.

2012 Legacy 2.5GT Limited - Deep Indigo Pearl Male - 36 Application/System Administrator My Legacy is Subie #2 out of 3, the '05 Impreza is Subie #1 and the '13 Tribeca is Subie #3 Mods: Tinted windows and smoked tails; stuff in a closest right now: Enkei GTC-01 19x8 on Conti Extreme Contact DW, RCE Bilsteins, STI strut brace, and Samco inlet hoses. I'm still building Rome here

...I chaperoned my first kindergarten field trip yesterday. It's really interesting to watch the kids interact w/each other and also see the difference between the boys and girls. I swear the boys were all over the place, getting into everything, and of course they could keep their hands to themselves. The girls were model citizens compared to the boys, then I remembered dealing w/a teenage girl is exponentially harder than a teenage boy and now I'm glad I only have one girl (even though she's already a handful)

...I'm feeling a bit lazy. I planned on at least washing the Tribeca today, but ended up going to sleep for a few hours after breakfast. I never made it outside before I lost the shade behind the house and spent the rest of the day gaming, well when I could get away from the kids
