MrTris Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Holy shit. Did you actually take our advice and trade for an LGT? If so, I believe you are the first to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golunnova Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I traded in my 09 2.5i for my current 08 LGT. No regrets. Don't let the mod bug hit you too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander_X Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I keep getting the itch to do this myself, but I have to keep reminding myself that my 09 is just a winter car and I don't need the extra power .... Its hard though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander_X Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 None of us NEED the extra power, either -- but it's nice to have. Yes, but it seems like a waste of money, and potential, for a winter car. Plus, I'm sorry, I've got "mad love" for Subies since I owned my first one (91 Legacy Turbo), and I was a Subaru tech for a while, but I was also a Toyota tech and my Celica AllTrac will run laps around a LGT all day. I miss it everyday in the winter. Again, I love my Legacy though, I wouldn't be here if I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivonr Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks all for the kind regards! I do plan to start with intake/ exhaust by February, then black out the grille and add front lip, then lower it and get rota gravel or tarmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots and lots of reading of the Stickies and build threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covertrussian Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 MrTris is right, do lots of reading before you do anything. Intake will require a new tune, while exhaust might not. Downpipe definitely requires a new tune. 05 LGT 16G 14psi 290whp/30mpg (SOLD) 12 OBP Stock 130whp/27mpg@87 Oct 00 G20t GT28r 10psi 250whp/36mpg 22 Ascent STOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 You'll miss the fuel mileage and 87 OCT fillups more than anything. Other than that it's a decent vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
