orndog Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Apparently we're a rather boring bunch lately I had my 30k done at SoK, that was exciting right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfrancis Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Haha spending money at the dealership is always exciting?? I'm about to slap a pitch stop mount on and maybe buy some shrouds (alternator/radiator). Other than that there's nothing exciting going on with my car either.

orndog Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well I needed them to start the dreaded oil consumption test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghionw Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I will be tackling my headlights soon enough. TRS retrofit and black out. Might even get a set of led bulbs for the high beams so that they are the same color as the hids or at least closer. Looking into getting the invidia q300 later in the month if bonus is favorable. Orndog, you ready to swap to dual exhausts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfrancis Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I've thought about going up to Sowo, undecided yet. Anyhow, Ghionw: if you need help with the retrofit hit up Dana @ TougeFighter, he did a good job with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj808 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Gonna be moving back to Augusta, GA after being away for 21 yrs in July. Ill be bringing my nearly bone stock 08 LGT with me. See y'all soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, Ghionw: if you need help with the retrofit hit up Dana @ TougeFighter, he did a good job with mine. The DIYer in me wants to attempt it myself. I found something on how a fellow 5th Gen'r wired their Halos, I will more than likely do the same. If I get stuck or jack them up, I will contact Dana.

benfrancis Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 jj808: Welcome home then! We look forward to seeing your lgt around town and hopefully not keeping it stock. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj808 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Actually it will be stock for a long while till we get other higher priority items ironed out like a house, jobs, college, etc... Modding takes time and money and both of those are going to be in VERY short supply for a while. Not to mention this will be my ONLY car for the foreseeable future and I cant take any chances with it breaking from an over stressed part like the transmission and such.

orndog Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Well I needed them to start the dreaded oil consumption test. Oil consumption was ruled too high, new short block on order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfrancis Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Bummer dude. Warranty?? If so then that's not too horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orndog Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes, under warranty, I'm just over 30k. Not sure how I feel about it yet, I need to see what Subaru considers in replacing the short block. I assume it will be "re-manufactured" but to what extent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfrancis Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 From my experience the replacement short block is a brand new unit. At least from the times we used to warranty @ SoK. At least I think? Ps I know all the techs so hmu if you want to request someone. That being said it'll prob be one of the two master techs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be calling me to set an appointment when it comes in so I can still request a Tech I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghionw Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sorry to hear dude. At least it is getting replaced. Now you need that new exhaust to go with the new block... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orndog Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Agreed! And the trans fluid changed. Speaking of which, wasn't there a running update for the CVT for some sort of bearing? I need to look into that and see if it will be uncovered when they pull the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
