ChadChrist Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Well first you gotta ditch that sedan and get a wagon...  Joking aside, look at etrailer: https://www.etrailer.com/roof-2005_Subaru_Legacy.htm  I’d rather have a wagon but with inflation and employers sucking dick and no paying people correctly i’m stuck with what i got.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 No sir. It just the angle of the pic/lighting and I think that's basically wet paint.

Claw Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 So with part availability starting to get expensive and sucking.. if one finds a GT in a pick-n-pull yard, what are good things to start hoarding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadChrist Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 anyone know what size wheels are meaty that would fit 16x7.5 for a 08 legacy sedan?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Törgue Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Replaced a broken central locking actuator in the driver's door, fitted angel eyes inside the headlights and horns behind the grill. I think the angel eyes look great, like they should be there from the factory. Headlights could use a good sanding too, didn't have enough time to do that today. Some earlier owner also had melted the left low beam bulb housing by i guess not putting the bulb in correctly, had to zip tie the bulb in place until i find a new part somewhere.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalsleeper Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I'm looking for a set of struts to get my car on the ground. Just need to hold the car, not drive. This is due to a relocation for work, and I need to get my car on the transporter soon-ish. Don't really think shipping is a good choice i can prob get some rockauto cheepies for the cost of shipping. Also need wheels, again nothing blingy just rollers. Â Thanks in advance.

xt2005bonbon Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Fuel pump replaced. 45 min in the hotel parking lot with the basic tools I brought. New pump is most definitely quieter than the old AEM 320. to the Subaru engineer that decided that we should be able to access the fuel pump with a screwdriver and 8mm wrench/socket and not have to drop the tank like many others. Many thanks to Cobb for the overnight pump in ~24hrs from calling them. Praying that is the last major issue on this trip.    Have not heard from you for a while here. So I am guessing all is well!

Infosecdad Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Have not heard from you for a while here. So I am guessing all is well! Thanks for checking :-D We are in Ouray at the moment. Just finished a 5.5 mile hike up to Chief Ouray Mine. Elevation change of 1700ft up to a little over 10k. We are hurting I’ll post a couple pictures sometime.  All is well with the wagon. Almost too good. Last three tanks of 91 + booster have netted almost 30 mpg in the mountains with a roof carrier. Not just the display, but hand calculated as well, not sure what’s up, we’ll see what happens back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Nice. You should create a separate thread and post pics of your trip and stuff.    Last year, when I drove my lowered outback from MD to UT (in 3 days), I also had pretty good gas mileage too. IIRC, it was around 28 mpg. Nothing on the roof though. I did remove 2 deg of timing once I could no longer find 93. Epic drive it was!  I did the same route 3 weeks before that with the whole family with our other outback. That one was loaded to the max and we were averaging 14 mpg I think     Somewhere along I-70 in UT having lunch..   Edited June 14, 2021 by xt2005bonbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckwaters Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I added a front bumper guard (E551SAG000) to my car. It’s subtle but I think it makes the car look better. It didn’t cost much and install was like 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has so many goodies on there that are so subtle. Only those who know would know. He has the epitome of a USDM 3rd gen 3.0R. Beautiful car! He won't hurry up and make a thread.
