Joey2146 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 so how much would it run me to change my 02 LGT from an auto to manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekay Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 :icon_bigg Im gonna go ahead and gloat again. :icon_bigg There are only 528 Limited models of the BD/BG Legacy that are 5 speeds. I'll gloat along with that! My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekay Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 3. 1997 LEGACY GT 6-SPEED I've been wanting to do this forever on my '99. Was the reason it was so much more because of the wiring? Or are the 6MT's just that much more expensive? My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheat68 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 ive been wanting to swap my 99 legacy gt limited to a 5 speed for a while aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnifeyMcShanker Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 It's more expensive than you think and a fair amount of work.... It's probably way easier to trade for a manual car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 :icon_bigg Im gonna go ahead and gloat again. :icon_bigg There are only 528 Limited models of the BD/BG Legacy that are 5 speeds. i will second that. usefull info too, i guess im one of the lucky ones too. may be a dumb question but were all the 99s 30th aniversary editions, or was that just a special model for that year, cause i have the 30th aniv. basically i have a 99 legacy outback limited 30th aniversary edition 5 speed with leather and every option known to subaru (yes dual heated seats, heated mirrors, and heated windsheild wipers), im just wondering if my car is worth a lot more than i think it is. btw, i picked it up for 3200. check out my pics on how clean it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLegacy99 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I believe that all of the '99s were 30th anniversary editions except their fleet sales, but I could be wrong. How many miles are on your vehicle? $3200 is pretty cheap for all the stuff you have. I paid $9,000 for mine in '05, with 69k miles. This car was marked down alot because the rear bumper and sides sills were so messed up from a school parking lot. Lucky me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekay Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Actually, as rare as your car may be, unfortunately, it is the 30th '99 Legacy GT 2.5L MT5 that is rare. If you do, in fact, have the 2.5L GT engine with the 5MT, then yes, it is one of the 528. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters!

one bad bg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 i just updated pics of my options on my public profile because in another thread i had a member ask for pics so i took pics of all my options proving i hade this car with these options lol. and yes 3200, it had 13?,000 miles when i bought it but ive replaced the motor since then with the same motor but with 40k miles on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekay Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice. Where on Earth did you find a 2.5 GT engine with 40K on it? That would be a place i would shop ritualistically. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice. Where on Earth did you find a 2.5 GT engine with 40K on it? That would be a place i would shop ritualistically. Some salvage company in texas had it. I'm in ohio so I just had it shiped. Apparently it was some old ladys car and she only drove it to church and the grocery store until a dumba$$ drunk driver smashed the back bumper all the way into back seat... engine was still good tho so I took. Paid I think 1100 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekay Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 1100 isn't too bad at all. Did you just get the engine/block or did the tranny come with it? Either way, good deal! My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Block, heads, and all internals is what I got. Top end is original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekay Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice. I'd say that's a completely fair buy. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one bad bg Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Being that my car is 1 of 528. Do you think it would possible for me to get collector plates for it. I'm trying to avoid echeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
