Claw Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Anyone have a good open source tuner (romraider)? I need to get my wagon off race gas and onto a lower octane. Airboy did mine long time ago.. https://www.airboytuning.com/ Make a road trip when the borders open up again.. it'll be worth your time. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil03mustang Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Drove the balls off it. Hauled a couple kegs. Might have messed up a tail light socket with said keg. Oops. Still haven’t put a whole 3000 miles on it since I bought it in March.. it gets driven 45 miles to work Monday and just sits there all week till I get back Friday, for the most part. I did lightly kick the front bumper cover to snap it back into place. Apparently it wants to leave the car above 120mph. Who knew?

JMack Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Washed up my "new" 05 LGT wagon. Details: 2005 LGT Wagon 5MT Leather w/ dual zone HVAC previous owner had Access Port and is "stage 2+" they say All corners Koni Adjustables Unknown EVERYTHING ELSE. All I truly know about the car is that the body is SOLID (and has been in OH for a while). It is pretty clean, pulls HARD (I came from a 2016 Honda Civic), and drives well (while stiff, I believe that the Koni's are adjusted pretty stiff). Anybody's input would be GREAT! I just want to have fun in it and make it mine. Want to get rid of the stereo and fix the drivers seat (small tear in bottom cushion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) JMack, I must be the only one, but I think the stock stereo sounds pretty good in the wagons. I like it better than the unit in my Spec B. Learn how to check the oil and keep an eye on oil usage. Always top it off when you check it. Yes the Koni's can be adjusted softer. You should have the white knob's in the car somewhere. Check around local body shops for someone who can fix the tear in the seat. http://people.csail.mit.edu/ilh/vacation/ That's the service manual for you.

Neal Cassady Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Definitely check out the maintenance FAQ, and a read up on banjo filters. They may already be removed since the car is modified. 2006 Legacy GT Wagon - Regamasters, Evo X Recaros, STI 6MT, Brembo 6-Pots (in progress) @regashiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Thank you all! I will use the manual for sure. I am familiar with Subaru and EJ engines. I have a 1997 LGT wagon (not moving on its own right now) and a 2011 Outback. For the radio, I want something with bluetooth audio and GPS built in (I do electronics in aircraft for a living, so have gotten accustomed to the newer moving map stuff).

Enlight Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Welcome to the forum. To swap out the radio you will need a double din with an i88 adapter harness. There's a double din for sale here: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/jdm-double-din-hvac-without-i88-286342.html There's also a forum member selling i88 adapters in this thread here: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/thinking-making-i88-adapters-284985.html muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 07 LGT. I have a turbo from JMP arriving tomorrow. Can't wait to get that installed. I pulled the banjo from turbo oil line, checked the bolt near uppipe as well, no filter. Any other places I should look on an 07? I could find any other nippled bolts in the arcade areas.

xt2005bonbon Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That does not look too bad. How about the one behind the driver side timing belt cover? pain to access but there is a trick 'ala HAMMERDOWN'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That does not look too bad. How about the one behind the driver side timing belt cover? pain to access but there is a trick 'ala HAMMERDOWN'. Yeah, not bad for 100k miles. Yeah I read about the long way and the trick. Can someone confirm there is a filter in that spot on an 07? I don't see a nip on the bolt unless I'm looking at the wrong one. Less additional tear down the better. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 well, if there is no nip, then there cannot be a filter. At least, that's my understanding. I cannot confirm if an 07 has it or not though. How about the bolt on top of the OCV on the driver side? Does it have a nip there? You could easily check this one at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wagon has the sub and the mid-range speaks up in the doors, the same as the Spec B, but IMO the wagon sounds so much better. I've said before a ski buddy who had a 05 Outback XT, said the same thing about his stereo. I find the wagon seems to have the music right around my head, the Spec, it sounds like it either in the front window or behind me. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

JJr Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 It's the SRS in the 07 204h, it sound considerably better than my 05 201h headunit I had in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 ^ this.. SRS is what makes the newer head unit sound better. I moved the 08 specB stereo into my wagon and it was waaay better with the SRS effect in my experience. Although, I finished the JDM double din install about an hour ago and I absolutely love it.

jaylew Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I agree the SRS sounds a lot more full. Best bang for the buck, because it has Aux, Satellite input (for satellite radio or an iPod interface (I use the ipod interface and love it)) If you have more time and are willing to dig deeper, installing the Harman Kardon sounds the best IMO. Also adding some form of butyl sound dampening behind the speaker and foam sound dampening on the moisture barrier, will make the stock speakers sound way better.

BoozeRS05 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hate to admit it, but I just made some mp3 CDs and listened to those most of the time. It's like 160 songs per CD.

BoozeRS05 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Went with a pretty simple unit, Boss BV755B. They had it on the shelf at AutoZone for $135 and had solid reviews online. I'll eventually convert my cubby to a dedicated BtSsm setup.
