miatabear Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hi all, I have my 2005 Outback 3.0R for 6 months now. I installed Konis and Legacy GT springs, white line swaybar, endlink, LCA & URCA bushings for my desired daily driving. My current issue is that I drive 70 miles roundtrip to work. I keep falling asleep driving back after work. To give you an idea, I had a 1994 miata with pretty stiff suspension for 2 years while I was in college. KYB AGX adjustables and FM springs. The miata is a manual and the outback is 5EAT. I believe my outback has gotten too comfortable...Anyone else has this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my 3.0R for 1.5 years now, and it is definetly a smooth, effortless vehicle to drive. How does the commute to work feel? I have a 400 mile camping trip coming up this weekend, and it will probably feel like a 200 mile trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Nope, although any automatic car makes me fall asleep in traffic. I had to eat trail mix to stay awake. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebourne Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I had the same problem, but it was more diet related.... 1) Eat less carbs at lunch, and low/no carbs for snacks after lunch. Stock up on beef jerky, and try it for your post lunch snacks for a couple weeks. 2) Listen to comedy podcasts. No one falls asleep laughing. Or something that intensely interests you. But back to Subaru's: 3) toe out the rear's like a motha and you'll be chasing your tail all the way home. j/k You have Koni's! Crank up the Koni's stiffness, and inflate (stiffen) the tires to max tire manufacture pressure. That'll be more like the miata (I had a 93). I have Konis too, and I know what you mean. Before the Konis, I had really old shocks with one blown rear. I was always alert, because I had no idea what that bish was going to do over minor and major bumps and woops. Like riding a horse that every once in awhile realized you were on it's back and freaked out! Heee Yah! pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
