I got the 06 oil pan part number. Think I’m just gonna use a iag pick up and 06 oil pan. Do you all just use the stock windage tray/baffle? TIA! Stock windage tray is almost certainly going to be fine for 'occassional spirited use'. They had a combination offer when I bought mine, so I just figured why not? If I was going to go to the trouble of taking off the oil pan and all the headache that goes along with it, might just as well be done with it all at once. I do think the IAG windage tray is a nice design and will work better than stock to keep oil from splashing up into the moving internal but whether or not that matters for someones individual use case.....? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cars are outbacks though. Don't think that makes a difference though.. That's a great and important point. I remember reading about French resistance sabotaging new trucks they were building for Nazi Germany Wehrmacht during WW2 by making the oil dipsticks longer than originals. 1 3 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...
SubOperator Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 My driver side climate control actuator is kaput. Stuck in fully open position blasting heat. Was OK in the winter but now that the temps are in their 50s during the day it has become a problem. Anyone have part ## for both? I recall reading that a) replacing driver side is more difficult b) some WRX actuators are 100% fit despite different part#. 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...

Fun fact: 2006 Outback 2.5i's also come with the same PN# of the desired STi pan. If you wanted one dirt cheap, I'm sure you could find one in a Pick n Pull. I, too, grabbed my KB pick up and baffle under a packaged deal. 1 1 MILKRUN - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoSam Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It’s always a bummer when a part survives 14 years then meets it’s demise from a careless shipping accident. Boo. Finding an oem low mileage altinators for our cars gets harder everyday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amptramp Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I just passed the 299,792.458 kilometre point on the odometer. What's the significance of that? It is one light-second in distance. Makes you wonder about the size of astronomical units like light years. 300,000 is coming up soon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a little unlikely that as small as Canadia is, that there wouldn't be some way to replaced 'frikkin injector o-rings, which are 'single use...' Everything has to be the hard way huh? EDIT: $35 USD for International shipping. I think I am going to have to find some other way. Contact this guy: https://performancefuelinjection.ca/ He is pretty well respected around here for injector rebuilds and testing. He did mine on my old car (yellow side feeds). He doesn't show the parts on his site but he can get them for sure. The full rebuild and testing on mine was $100 or $150 with the parts being like $30 I think, for o-rings, filter baskets, and pintle caps (I used the older style with less ports and plastic pintle caps).

That's a great resource dude, thanks. There is a guy/company in the GTA that does this as well, and that's a 1.5 hour drive for me instead of 3 days. On the other hand, if you google parts for JECS injectors, you get lots of results for 0-ring + filter basket kits. SO, that's an option as well, instead of looking up 'subaru side feed injectors' etc... My local subaru speed parts place sells the o-ring kit with lubricant from Deutschwerks for like $25CAD, which seemed reasonable. In hindsight, an ebay kit would probably also be just fine, and you get new filter baskets, etc... If I see anything that suggests the injectors need cleaning, I'll send a spare set out and get them totally rebuilt, then swap them in.

Note I'm only replacing the driver temp actuator and the blend door. Passenger temp is fine for me. Haven't installed them yet, but yeah I've been reading the driver side almost certainly requires unbolting the dash. I feel like I saw somewhere one of those shorty right angle screw drivers helped avoid removal. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it on my first legacy and I loved it, but the baffles in this one seem to be gone so I'm not entirely sure how they are going to sound on my car. But anything is better than the magnaflow I have on there now as they are just too raspy for me. 1 1 #LGTSTi is still cheaper and nicer then an equal year wrxsti Follow my 2007 Spec B.

310Z Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 We have been having 60-70 degree weather so I took the car cover off. Put the Summer wheel package on then got a hose out washed and dried the LGT. Then took it for a spin windows and sun roof open. I think I will do a little vacuuming today of the interior. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see now what the deal is with those…looks like you can rebuild it which is nice but the voltage regulator seems like it’s more than the whole damn thing…Denso is the oem manufacturer isn’t it? Funny story about the car meet I went to. It was 95% wrx’s and STi’s….all I’ll say is, as soon as I opened the door I was greeted by a cloud of vape smoke. I knew then I was very out of place… Still had a good time there were some cool cars. Def a very different crowd though. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I took my wagon to a car show last weekend and was also overwhelmed by the amount of shenanigans. It was pretty embarrassing, although not an overwhelmingly Subaru crowd, but just obnoxious behavior. I left before the police asked everyone to vacate. 6 1 1 EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojak Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Parked next to this STI a few times on a milkrun. Finally caught the owner walking up and said ‘Gorgeous ride’. Flat response. Idek if he realized I was in a Subie. Kids these days. Legacy’s are a sign of maturity. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
