SubOperator Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Wanted to get the wagon out for a spring time ride. Apparently the battery died after sitting in the garage for 2 months. Trickle charging did not help much. Next step is to clean the contacts, try charging it again and make it to the shop to get new Interstate battery. 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...

tehspud Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) I, too, did some cone dodging this weekend. I'm going to need to figure out a good solution for adjusting the konis in the rear. Probably need to cut out some of the trim to get access and get an extended adjuster 3d printed? Dunno yet.

NORULZleggy Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Wait, wut?!? You let your wife drive your car? Â My wife has her own Legacy, she know never to dive any of my cars. Even the daily driver. She cannot drive 5MT or does she have the patience. She does way to much in the car to be able to drive my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Ordered rear King Springs KSRL-29 back in December from Primitive. King couldn't get them over the Pacific to Primitive. Primitive was great, offered a refund or I could wait, so I waited. They finally came in today, so it was install time.  The coils are definitely thicker than the STi pinks and more tightly packed. I had a 1/2" spacers on the pinks to get the rear to sit where I wanted, but it couldn't handle a full load and roof box when I do long trips with my sons. I put on new KYB top hats for the rear on the king springs and she's basically sitting where the pinks + 1/2" spacer were.   I :wub: this car I just want to drive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino6303 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Not for the legacy but my Impreza has been misfiring in cylinder 2 and it's pointing to a valve from my leakdown. The engine as somewhere around 250k miles and burns oil so I bought a used motor from a local wrecker. I pulled the heads from the wrecker and saw they were already refurbished so I sent them to a local shop for cleaning. Fast forward to today when I decided to get the block ready for reassembly and noticed some scoring on 2 and 4 in the right light. I emailed the wrecker and I'm hoping for at least a partial refund so I don't have to eat the cost of the engine + rebuild. Depending on what they say I may just send it since it's for my non-turbo daily. Well the wrecker would only give me a $200 credit. I started the additional tear down on the ej251 block and I'm glad I didn't just send it. The #1 rod bearing was trashed and would create absolute carnage (probably on the first start). I dropped the block off at the machine shop for boring 0.5mm and potentially a line hone/bore. I'll buy two sets of main/rod bearings to get everything in spec. When I mic'd the crank all journals were in spec. The rod bearings were all at the limit of 0.0020" but these were with the original bearings so standard size should still be ok but it's always good to buy a set of undersized too just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydunno Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Car is in the shop at work. Getting a list of stuff done as I don't have the time to do it myself. Timing belt set was almost 3 years old and the small roller was starting to fail. Thank heavens I'm good about preventive maintenance. Between that, control arms front and rear uppers, gas tank, L/R brake line and some other suspension stuff, I'll have a like new car again! Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitexc Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) It's more of a what I bought.....3 gallons of STP synthetic diesel oil in 5w40. Brotella just isn't happening right now.

Spec-Beast Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Just did a full detail after terrible weather.Tomorrow she's getting a new clutch w/ the pdm snout sleeve, new brembo rotors and pads all the way around and a new thermostat. Just put a new timing belt on as well, it still had the factory belt with 140k miles on it. Still looked great. (Pictured below) Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk Edited March 29, 2022 by Spec-Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The toothed pulley in particular will eventually seize, shredding the timing belt and most likely bending valves and requiring a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about the load issues though, as I find the pinks to be significantly stiffer than the Kings were, albeit the pinks are on Bilstein B8s (feel overdamped) and the Kings were on Konis (felt like stock).

lagwagon Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Tried to install my rebuilt injectors...all the pcv lines are so hard and brittle I was worried about breaking them to get to the injectors so I stopped. I did manage to break the oil fill tube though, which is also apparently very brittle. As consolation, I cleaned my wife's car. It was full of mud. I was not happy. I want to take the weathertech floor mats for my car, thinking she doesn't deserve them if that is the way her and the kids are going to treat the car, but that is counterproductive to keeping the car clean. I posted a question in the tuning thread about injectors if anybody hasn't seen it and can provide some insight: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/differences-sidefeed-injectorsi-287814.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitexc Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Burned the latest tune revision from Mike @ Tuning Alliance to the car. Now we are talking. Not sure what he altered and don't really care. The car feels much more responsive in the low rpm range and pulls great to the top. Â Have to figure out this turbo heat shield/blanket deal (sort of waiting for the weather to break) and find a sway bar. Just driving the damn thing after that.

seanyb505 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I really need to send a log to him. I kinda feel his response time and actual feedback (slow and none) is because I didn't buy an access port. But yeah I feel like I know every revision got better. Just not sure he really wants to keep fiddling with a 6 year old customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
