benfrancis Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ben did you fix your cooling issue? Yeah dude, I did and I even switched to the Subaru Super Coolant (blue stuff) for longer life and better operating temps while I was there. My car runs like a champ now. I saw a brown '08 I think brown LGT this morning behind me on 75 and it was a blast to have someone to do a comparison pull against, absolutely made my morning! That Dom 1.5 pulls so well! How's your ride coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshirley85 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 New here! In Statesboro GA. Actual resident, not student (I work at Georgia Southern). Pretty sure the only LGT down here, wahoo. Had a speed6 (I got one for super cheap), but was afraid of timing chain nonsense and rear end blowing up. Finally got my hands on a black base model LGT Saturday. Previous owner had done up-pipe, down-pipe, headers, and most maintenance. I have an APv2 en route, and I get to do valve cover gaskets and rotella oil change today! Next up is bulletproof intercooler, banjo bolt filter, rear diff bushings, and lastly - transmission and rear diff fluids (redline fluids). I'm pumped to be working on my car again, it also helps that this site has awesome documentation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to ask any Q's and post up some pics! Sounds like you have some great plans already to keep the car lasting for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DS intake cam one is an absolute bitch to get to, but if you're doing timing/cam seals, do it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orndog Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hey bacchus, we've toyed with the idea of a meet, but mostly we just sorta infrequent the wrxatlanta meets. Good guys, mostly local, and they don't care if you drive your mom's Camry to the meets. They do a dinner meet every other Tuesday, assorted other meets, and of course Caffeine and Octane.

Yeah that was me! I am a sucker for highway pulls, especially with the Dom 1.5xtr. The next wrxatlanta meet is next Tuesday at Grub Burger in Smyrna but we need to do a Legacy meet which I've been advocating for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewy612 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm gonna try and make that next Tuesday! Yep down for a legacy meet as well.

benfrancis Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah, I saw that and I'm quite excited it'll be a bit closer for me. I'll miss the Feb one but I'm sure there will be others I can go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbillw Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Guess I'll chime in. Just picked up a silver 2005 GT Limited Wagon. Won't be doing much in the way of mods, but I like to keep up with common issues and get insight on preventative maintenance. My car just turned 63k miles, and I plan to use it as a daily driver for as long as I can (ie: as long as it is reliable). I am in West Cobb, and commute through Marietta down 75 in the mornings so some of you may see me around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, any thing I do to the car will be focused on making it as reliable as possible, ie: banjo bolt filter check, etc. From what I've read, I should also be looking at replacing the catted up-pipe with with catless version (and then get tune job).
