We go every once in a while. Would be great if we could get ALL 4 of the LGT's out there some time.

spotted a lowered (at leaset apeared to be lowared) GRP LGT wagon on HWY 9 in boulder creek at about 4pm today. we were in a Black FXT. Waved, but don't think you knoticed.

Spotted on Friday at about 3pm. GRP sedan going NB on 1 just before moss landing after it goes down to 2 lanes (for the SB people like me). Had a mesh grill. Looked good.

Forgot to post my sighting:

Yesterday morning @ ~7:15am

Saratoga, Ave & Hwy 85. I was turning onto 85 while you went straight.

06 LGT Spec B. Apeared to be stock.

Spotted a ABP 2.5i wagon that apeared to possibly be lowered on NB El Camino Real past Page Mill Rd. Dought you saw me.

Spotted a ABP LGT wagon with aftermaket wheels and tint next to the parking structure just off of N California Ave in Palo Alto at noon. Looks like it is someone that works in that block, seen it there a fiew times.

or just get the JazzyMT board or one of the other solutions out there for us and that way you at least get aux in.

Highline, I am completely new to this discussion, and am fairly

deeply confused, and a moron at heart. Could you (or someone)

please take the time to explain more clearly, minimizing the

jargon and abbreviations ?

 

Here's what I understand ... The 2006 2.5i Limited (that I'm soon

to buy) has the "automatic" climate controls, meaning there are

separate knobs to control temp for driver and passenger. If I pull

the "radio" out, it's actually climate controls and radio plus CD

changer all integrated into one massive cluster-f*ck of a unit. So

there's no way to put a standard DIN head unit in. (I gather this

is the same as the Legacy GT usually discussed here).

 

Hoping I'm clear so far ... Put simply, you modify the thing so that

I can put a single- or double-DIN radio of my choice in, and the

climate controls still work, and the thing looks great. How

exactly do you do this ?

 

What is all this talk about a "core" ? I thought the whole point was

to be able to put ANY DIN radio in ?!?

 

How is the whole procedure done, and what is the price ? I pull

out the whole stereo/HVAC unit and send it to you ? You simply

fab something and send it to me, and then send you the unit I pull

out of my car (perhaps this is the "core" being discussed) ?

 

Sorry to be dense. Might be worth putting up a FAQ for folks like me.

Thanks.

 

John,

don't worry, we ALL had to start somewhere, some sooner than others and no one should be punished for it, just IMHO.

 

like easton said, you have the same pricidimate that all of us GT owners find ourselves in when wanting to get a aftermarket Head Unit. The Controls route and have some cercitry in the radio itself for the automatic control.

 

There are options for most, you can get mounting kits to mount a single din above the clock. but for LGT's like mine with the STI guage pack, it is just not possible.

 

You have it right, the "core" is the core exchange, which HCA has hinted to possibly not needing to do in this thread.

 

As for price, they haven't said anything about it yet, but it will not likely be cheep. The part they are getting from Japan to do this normally runs ~$300, + r&d + fabrication. Unless Japanparts.com gives them a smashing deal on a lot of them, I wouldn't expect to see them for at least $400 or more.

Spotted a silver LGT sedan outside the ACE hardware (parked on the street) on Sunday in Sonora. Any chances it was someone on here? Just saw the back end, Sedan w/out a wing.

Spotted a white LGT sedan at the parking lot at hwy 35 & 9 with a rack ontop and looked like you were getting ready for a ride.

And if possible, if he can do it for under $250, I would be even more would buy them. But seing how much the JDM units are, highly dought it.

~noon today. Got behind a ABP 06 - 07 LGT Sedan turning left onto Hanover st from Page Mill Rd. I was the BSP sedan behind you

lazy subscribe. I would love this. Good thing I got the 07 HU. I have my spare 06 HU sitting on a shelf. I could send it you you, you can convert it, paint it JDM color, relocate the hazard button to JDM location (if possible) and it be double din and send some extra paint so I can paint the shifter plate to match. If that happens, my life would just about be complete... well, not quite, but close . hehe.

spotted 08 Outback XT on southbound 280 today at 5:30ish. had exhaust on it (looks nice), and mesh grill. You had personalized plates. Tried to wave, but didn't really get a chance.

I most likely won't be able to make it this week. Might have plans, but won't know for till wednesday most likely.

Saw my twin at the Scotts Valley Market today at ~2pm. BSP 05+ LGT.

spotted a OBP 5mt sedan outside building LMCO 252 at 11:15am toady. Nice

I keep seeing a 06 Spec B in Boulder Creek and a 05+ OBP LGT sedan in the parking lot of Scotts Valley Market.

i have no idea how I drive around the bay area so much, yet never get spotted by anyone else :o

 

you and me both

Blue LGT NB on San Tomas this morning at about 8:30am. You turned off on Scott and was one car back in the left lane just before El Cimeno Real. You had Tinted windows and apered to be lowered.

spotted 2 LGT wagons on san tomas at about 4:30pm. I was in a gold 2.5i outback service loaner.

07 ABP Wagon with tint

05-07 BSP Wagon

Spotted a ABP Wagon at big basin park this afternoon. Was on a hike so couldn't wave.

I had my LGT in a while back for a squeeky seet. It would drive me mad driving on my windy roads and it would sqeek in the lower right corner. I had it in 5 times for it and they finally got the aproval to replace the entire frame. After the new frame, all is good. 10K so far and no sqeeks. Also a note, the seet is 100% stiffer than before. When I got my LGT the drivers seet would seem to, not woble, but if I pushed on the right bolster, the seet back would tend to move more than the left and now after the fram was replaced, it is nice and solid. They did replace the rails once under a TSB (according to the service manager) and lubed the joints 3 times to no avail. They had to get aproval from the regional rep, but that wasn't hard.

If its just the wires and pins your worried about, I found out the pins from a computer Molex connector fit really well.. just FYI, i had a bunch laying around so I used those.. worked great!

 

Just to clarify, it is the computer HDD molex connector you are using?

White Legacy (not sure if it was a LGT or not)NB on 9 between saratoga and 35. I was going SB. Sorry if I scared you, but I wasn't going to stay behind that guy going 25 any longer and took my chance at the pull out.
