Aeterna Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Pretty sick man, if you were to get another DD/track car what would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 It would be an EVO VIII but no good examples left. A new base 2014 wrx sedan (modded) would be a great DD/track car (for me). I am 2.5 years too early for that switch as I have a kid in college. Anything more exotic would only be a pipe dream. If I started with an LGT, I would have more options. If my 3.6r were a 2012 I could swap the motor and transmission and get it certified. With a 2013, I can't. I drove GTEASERs car and could easily feel the difference between my mods and tune versus his stage 1 tune. Still, I can't complain about Shrek. It has plenty of space, plenty of scoot on the street, and it hasn't had any issues to date (25,000 miles) despite getting a beating every now and then.

nadracer Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Only 21k miles! Sounds like a real creampuff. The price on the other hand at 26k for a near 3 year old car is definitely negotiable. Yes a GT is rare, but hey we aren't talking a blue chip/collector car market. Its a used Subaru lol.

Aeterna Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 yeah its about 200 miles away from where I live, I have contemplated checking it out. only thing stopping me is that a manual doesn't really work into my current driving habits (30k a year in super dense population/inefficient highways with loads of traffic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Do you think you have improved as much as you can on this car? I am just thinking if the Miata guys are able to improve you would still be increasing your skills even with less go/stopping. What's holding you back from taking your car back to stock and swapping the parts over to an LGT? We could have an LGT "build a new shrek" meet-up.

KFCConspiracy Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It is an accessory for the 2013 Legacy from Subaru. I tried looking on the official Subaru parts site, couldn't find it in the suspension parts section. I'll give my dealer's parts department a call and see if they know anything about it.

If I do get a 2.5GT and need to swap all that $shit including the bushings over, all of you need to step up! And, if any of you find a low mileage, and I mean 30,000 miles, 2.5GT that is no more than 50 miles from 95124, PM me without hesitation. Worst case would be to get it, swap all the stuff over and then sell the car privately or back to the dealer. About the skillz...yes, they can improve a whole lot. My lines/braking can improve some, but the brakes are limited unless I go to a BBK. I am using stock diameter rotors and carbotech pads. The rotors already have minor surface cracks from tracking one season. You won't believe how hot those little brakes get after one session. I had smoke soming out. I then realized it was the plastic centering ring of my Enkeis cooking. I am playing this balancing game of what do I do next with the car...leave it as is and track it...add a ported TB and headers $2000...try lowering the final drive $4000....

As far as the car in NY, how the hell am I supposed to have a good look at it Make sure you ordered the right size, I don't know what the hub size is on your Enkei's, I just posted the first link I found. It has 16k miles, you don't need to look at it. Get the CarFax, ask if it was garaged and serviced, fly there, buy it, drive it home. I will go with you. When you get it home have the undercarriage power washed (becuz salt in winter) and start modding.

Daddyp Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 You posted something about a throttle body bore, how do you get that done? Do you just have the inlet & outlet inlarged & leave middle stock? Or can you find a bigger butterfly & bore the whole thing out? What about throtle body spacers? I have yet to find a spacer for the 3.6... But I have been looking. Do spacers not do much for the 3.6? My last subaru was a 2.5 Na, when I indtalled a Cobb cai I lost some bottom end & even midrange. They suggested a tb spacer to get back some low end torque... That's why I have been curious about it. I haven't found much about spacers for the 3.6 on the forum either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
