LICmotorsports Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Our shop has had this account for a little while, and I've lurking as I've been getting ready to purchase. I'm here now and ready to help how ever I can. Let the modding begin! Picked it up saturday night. Took a before and after pic. Debadged the minute I got a hold of a heat gun. Wheels are Volk CE28N that I had repainted cuz they were all beat up from the track. Mounted some Pirelli pzero nero m+s 235/55/17. So glad I got a outback, it rides sooo nice. Now I just gotta get rid of the TPMS light one way or another. I refuse to be at the mercy of stupid electronics for stupid people. Planned mods: Tint and clearbra Pads and SS lines Sway Bars Cobb AP- when available for 07's Turbo back exhaust STi Genome gauges -Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 dealer needs to reset the tpms. did you put a new set of sensors in or did you use the old ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICmotorsports Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Sensors are on the OE wheels. No new sensors were purchased. There was a light for a while, now it appears to be gone. Besides an annoying light on the dash, is there any issue with running without them? Leaving as I type for tahoe. -Kevin Oh yeah, I read all of the threads here about the tpms.

Sponge Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Nice car! You should be able to take the sensors off your OEM and put them on the Volk's My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreoSTi Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Happy New Year, Kevin (tell Adam/Noah too). The Outback looks great! I'll drop by the shop after I get back from Asia at the end of the month... and when Ed finally tunes my car. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICmotorsports Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Nice car! You should be able to take the sensors off your OEM and put them on the Volk's The thing is, I don't want the sensors. I don't want the tpms. I will look into pulling the light, though I will probably end up using a black vinyl dot to cover the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dong Homez Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 What dealership did you buy your car from? How was the experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICmotorsports Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 They are almost identical in diameter, and they are just a tad wider. Or was that just sarcasm? The fender gap is big in the pics cuz the car was on a slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICmotorsports Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 What dealership did you buy your car from? How was the experience? I bought it from the I-club hated Steven's Creek Subaru. I picked it up saturday, December 30th. Got it for invoice and the customer service was great. I told them I worked at a independent subaru shop up front, so no one had to put their foot in their mouth. The whole transaction was painless.

bgsntth Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Really like the color/wheel color combo and intelligent mods. I would have picked that color had it been available when I procurred mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LICmotorsports Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks all for the compliments. As far as the wheels being lost. The pics do it no justice. They were dirty from tahoe and my camera sucks. In person, most people love the MadMax look. I feel you on the grille. I was in the process of making my stock badge bolt on when it cracked. I am now looking for a low key grille accessory. I did paint the a/c condensor so it's all black behind, that was killing me. -Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLGT-B Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 For some reason I cannot view your pictures. Can you email them to me? I've been trying to pick-up an '07 OBXT w/Nav, but my dealer can't locate one, so I placed an order for a 2008 OBXT. I believe the brakes on the OBXT's are smaller than the LGT Wagen/Sedan. Can you comment on how they feel? I was thinking about picking these up...

LICmotorsports Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Anyone else having trouble seeing the pics I attached? The front and rear brakes on the OBXT are smaller than LGT. The stock brakes feel great, especially for an a automatic. I have a set of LGT front brakes I might install with SS lines. I don't know what you plan on using your outback for, but big brakes front and rear are a bit overkill unless you plan on tracking the car regularly IMHO.
