ScoobyRuGT Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Probably could design a toggle switch or something. It write sine crazy computer code that runs off the speed sensors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That sucks, color match is hard though because even the factory color will be different because of Sun fade. That sounds like a terrible intersection though! I just had to being my wex back in, hasn't had it back more than 2 weeks. Service manager from the other dealership just called me like half an hour ago to ask how it was haha, told him it's back in the shop. That's an important reason why the body shop needs to blend the new panels with the old ones by repainting the nearby panels. Although it is true that the actual color of the repaired area may not match the adjacent auto body panels exactly, the blend will create such an illusion that the affected area will not appear to have ever been touched. Sounds like they originally did a bad job blending the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 yea. i know. and i was TOLD that they were blending the panels the "industry standard" 18" it took me a while to notice but there is a lifetime warranty on their work so maybe i can get them to repaint the front bumper while they painting the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scontivt Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 So, I spotted a fellow WRX driver on my way to work, but the last gen ('10-'14). The roads were ok, but not great and snow covered, he flew by me going over 100MPH. I must say he at least had a nice sounding exhaust... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scontivt Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm on the VT border, Claremont, NH. 10' LGT Is this the same LGT that's parked in front of Leo's Market all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Is this the same LGT that's parked in front of Leo's Market all the time? No, I've never seen another 5th gen LGT around. Mine is generally parked in my garage or at the fire station, but no longer will be at the fire station as I no longer work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I want to go drive by Leo's now but Claremont is terrible at plowing the roads and the rex is at the dealership getting looked at and my girl took the GT to school so all I have to drive is her 00' honda civic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Cashier's has a LGT there. Talked with her once when I had my LGT parked next to it, but she's not a member here. My wife is from Claremont, love the deli salads from Leo's, especially that Potato Salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Leo's is good. Are you in NH or VT scontivt? There are a lot of 4th and 3rd gen LGTs around. And quite a few WRXs and STIs. I just got a call from the dealership though and my rex should be done in an hour or two! Was on the phone all morning with SOA, what a waste of life that was.

scontivt Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm from Barre, VT. I did have a Black 2005 LGT with a 3" midpipe and 4" straight through mufflers that was fairly loud, but then we had a kid, so I had to get something a little more quiet and a little more (read a lot more) reliable. Wife and I frequented Claremont like every other week to see her Mom in Unity, but never saw your LGT out and about. Claremont is more Civic central than anything else...lol. Before I had the LGT, I had a Silver 2000 Impreza OBS with a Thrush Turbo muffler (was also loud) that came through Claremont weekly with Vermont plates.

ScoobyRuGT Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I loved having my exhaust on my 2.5RS when I had my son, it would always put him right to sleep, the sweet low drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Now that I don't have it, I might just stick with stock, or something just a little louder in a couple years. But I can tell you that straight pipes on a 2013 WRX sounded quieter than my LGT mufflers. My buddy got a set of Nameless muffler deletes and the sound that exhaust made was great, if you like Subarus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Ned Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 OK, which one of the rest of you owns a black 5th Gen LGT and was heading north on South Winooski in Burlington yesterday afternoon? I was the one in the GGM 5th Gen LGT at the College St intersection headed up the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C6Driver Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I live south of Boston but have relatives that live in the Barnet area. No plans to visit as my Legacy is in the shop for repairs. It's the puddle light problem (covered by a recall) but my dealer can't solve the problem even after replacing the puddle lights and wiring harness.

My only experience with "Subaru tech's" is most of them really don't know what their doing. Get the GM involved and I'm sure the issue will be quickly resolved. Doesn't hurt to call SOA and relay your discontent either. Hate to say it, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C6Driver Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks for the heads up. I agree that "service techs" are not all well-trained and some are little more than oil changers. I know this for a fact because I had a service issue with another car I own and the dealer put the oil change guy on it and he screwed it up. A real service tech made the repair. The dealer called me this morning to say the body control module (BCM) was bad and probably got fried when the puddle lights shorted out. The puddle lights are using fuse #34 which supplies power to the BCM. He goes on to tell me that he has to get Subaru to okay replacing the BCM under warranty but he has to wait until Monday to talk with someone because they work Monday-Friday. He says they will "most likely" okay the repair. Really? Their puddle light option takes out the BCM and they will most likely allow a replacement? They damn well better fix the problem! The part isn't in stock and will be ordered on Monday if Subaru says it's okay. The part won't be at my dealer until Tuesday at the earliest. The saga continues. Once the car is repaired and all is working correctly I plan to give Subaru an ear full. They love to send out surveys asking about how their dealer did with service work. Update will follow.

Jduke Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Born and raised in vt from st. Johnsbury, but now we live in Montpelier. Currently missing both exhaust cans (looking for complete cat back). I see on a regular basis a red wagon gt with black rims, and a silver wagon with tint. Don't know you guys but your rides look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
