    New STI short shifter

    in Member Classifieds (2005 - 2009)

    Posted

    I see it now, don't know why the image didn't load before. We request pics be loaded via the attachment manager just fyi
    So just to make sure I am in compliance, I'll walk you thru the steps I took when I posted the add. I ask you to please tell me where I went astray, and recommend the correct course of action.

     

    I navigated to the most fitting thread.

    I clicked add post.

    I typed my description.

    Just below my description, I see an add photos, files button.

    I click the button and navigate to the picture I want to insert.

    I select from 3 size options.

    After the picture loads, I click submit.

     

    The picture below, is the add pictures, files button.

     

    I look forward to your instructions to ensure I am following your rules. Thank you for holding my hand thru this. I never said I was the most intelligent computer scientist.d5a82e03ce63ee68cffe21e07afca946.jpg

    Thank you for the response. I already purchased the whole turbo last night so just need the wastegate actuator. If you wouldn’t mind parting with it then let me know, but I totally understand if you want it all in one piece.
    I'm running external, I'll look and see if I held onto the actuator.

    Brake upgrade question

    in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)

    Posted

    I know this thread has probably been done to death, but are there any upgraded brakes for the front of Legacy GTs that would fit over stock wheels? Like 4 piston calipers? I just think I could use a little extra braking but I don’t want to spend 3-4K buying new wheels x8 and summer/snow tires. Seems like it could get pretty expensive. And I live in WI so not having snows isn’t an option. Thanks!
    I completely rebuilt my calipers. New Pistons, new seals, new hardware. SS lines, and fluid flush. Front rotors are:

    Rear are:

    Racing Brake Slotted Rotors for Subaru Impreza WRX Rear Pair 06-07 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KKYKWGW/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_DGBKGPPATBHQKN4A1MW7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

     

    So for a little over $900 you are moving up to 2 piece front rotors and getting a better rear rotor. They offer a rear 316x18mm and caliper brackets but they're only available in drilled/slotted so if you wanted them to match you would need the drilled/slotted fronts. Which is just an option at checkout.

     

    I'm on the fence about selling mine and switching to the rear BBK. Because, can't leave well enough alone...

    Hey all, looking at buying a used VF52 from an owner that went the external wastegate route and no longer has the wastegate actuator and all that. Wondering if someone might have one sitting around they wouldn’t mind parting ways with. Willing to pay for shipping if you’re not close to PDX. Don’t mind if it’s cracked unless it’s too far gone. Thanks :)
    I have a 40k mile VF52 that will be coming off the car soon. Just rounding up a few more parts

    Gotcha. Thanks for sharing, I'll contact them and see what they say about L badges. Appreciate it.

    I did check for you, LMK what your price is. I don't want to disclose mine in case they're saving me a few bucks on bulk purchases. I don't know the breakdown for this particular order. I bought a set of three in blue and the gold rear and steering wheel for $275. Just ended up not installing one of the blue because the was a size miscommunication. They have that resolved now and you just provide measurements.

    I would be interested in a steering wheel and tailgate emblem for my wagon, with red "L's" if possible that somewhat match or are close to Garnet Red Pearl exterior. Feel free to pm me if needed - thanks

    Just offering, I've got a black plastic emblem with red stars if you want it, just pay shipping. I had it on my XT before the carbon. If you want carbon now, you can order from @legacymarket on Instagram. If you want to wait, it will be a bit. They haven't received my sample I shipped them to build

     

    Not sure if this will work. I couldn't find a picture and I'm out of town but it was installed during previous Dyno session.

    Mind just sharing where you ordered them from?

     

    P.S. the 1099-K reporting change doesn't go into effect until 2022 so you won't be getting a 1099-K for Paypal sales through G&S for 2021 unless you did more than $20k in sales or made at least 200 sale transactions. Plus, unless you got all the parts you sold for free that 1099K wouldn't be considered taxable income because you'd offset it with the cost you paid for the parts which most of the time results in a loss and no taxable income. Just sharing as an FYI.

    Good info, thanks. Came from legacy market in Kyrgyzstan. Only accepts MoneyGram and shipping is somewhere between a week and [emoji3536]...I shipped them a part to produce in carbon 80 days ago. Just shows in transit. I've had parts arrive in a week, 4 weeks, and everywhere in-between. At the end of the day, they all show up and in good condition.

    JDM Outback front bumper extensions

    So, you believe these are made of a different plastic than the bumper? If yes, they will not look as black as the bumper (e.g. when applying some plastic shine/cleaner type product) ?
    These are plastic reinforced fiber. I think they'll shine up nice but I doubt any two pieces of black from different car or different material would look identical with shine product. If they fit my bumper, I would def install, just to get a more aggressive look
