Scottydunno Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I picked up the cobb double adjustable short shifter going into the STI short shifter linkage as part of my outback subframe spacer delete.

boxkita Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Audi isn't making a manual wagon again. volvo hasn't for awhile. the number of 4th gen gt crushed already is alot. fixing is still less than buying something that pisses you off because its not a lgt.

I have a daily ('17 Ridgeline), which is nice. But yeah a sedan with a manual is becoming rarer by the day, I wish I had a wagon. It's a decent argument you make there.

Dishwasher Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Would you feel the same way if yours needed a rebuild? Brought to you by Pfizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Would you feel the same way if yours needed a rebuild? Right now, yes. I swapped out a lower mileage engine 2yrs ago and the full interior. I'm planning on building a new engine and hopefully a 6mt in the next couple years. Plans may change, we'll see I really love the concept of an AWD, manual wagon with decent lines. They basically don't exist for any kind of reasonable price, so I just pour money into mine... It doesn't make sense financially, but it's my vice and stress relief. If I wanted financial sense, I would drive a boring honda sedan.

awfulwaffle Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Wellp, that took a lot of cutting. No fog lights for me ever. Needed about half of the fog mounts cut off, and the majority of the extension coming off the lower scoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonamedude Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hey all those arms, definitely an air octopus. Or quadropus? Paint it black and get the inserts from the base sedan. Also if you REALLY wanted fogs, there are plenty of projectors that would fit there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Would you feel the same way if yours needed a rebuild? 131k miles. ive lost count of rebuilds. It got parked May 2014. I've driven about 1100 miles with it since then. Still can't get rid of it. I drive AMG vehicles every day now. Yeah they have push button exhaust note modifiers, electronic suspension, on-the-fly engine configuration, paddle-shift, twin-turbo v8, etc. Even if I had 180k plus fees, I just don't see it. They have no soul. Everything just works, but it's not like getting in a Demon. You're too coddled. Otoh, they're more noisy than fast. Handling isn't super awesome either. I'm not the target market so what do I know? At days end, I'm super happy to fire up the wrx, and shift my own gears. Trying to find time to get the wagon out of the garage.

BoozeRS05 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Been driving a manual, AWD, highly modified, turbo, station wagon for 9 years today I'm driving my wagon less and putting more money into it than ever before. Whether that's smart or not is debatable, but it's just too late for me. I don't think I've overspent on it over 9 years though either, at least not compared to having multiple cars and auto loans over that time. The car market sucks today anyway unless you're getting spendy.

I don't think I've overspent on it over 9 years though either, at least not compared to having multiple cars and auto loans over that time. The car market sucks today anyway unless you're getting spendy. So my wife and I might move, and as part of that decision is what to do with the cars we have. The legacy (currently on jackstands) is coming-with no debate there. But the Taurus SHO... that is another story. Nothing wrong with it, but we think it is time for a change. In the very brief google searches of what is available in the market it gets very spendy really quick. That is unless you want a total entry level machine. You want any kind of performance, or interior luxuries and the price skyrockets. Definitely some tough decisions everything is either a cross over, or 50K plus.

SubOperator Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 My problem too. Do I keep it, spend more money on it...297,000 miles. I decided to keep it. 237K or so. Original motor. It will need money - paint job, rust needs to be addressed, likely new engine at some point relatively soon. Gas tank needs to be addressed - just pulled P0442 code for evap control failure. That faint gasoline smell is working its magic. On the other hand, getting on the road in it brings positive emotions like no other does. Plus it is getting more and more rare. I can spread the expenses over time. Have I had a need in a daily I'd get a basic Impreza or Crosstrek with a stick. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely some tough decisions everything is either a cross over, or 50K plus. Exactly. The Audi RS6 is a fantastic wagon but its auto and more importantly 120K+. I don't want to even think what the insurance rates on it will be. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
