It wasn't Porshia at the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontempler Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Chris, saw your super clean LGT parked askew in front of Ryan's shop this morning. Shweet car, bro! Time for an oil change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substitude Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Chris, saw your super clean LGT parked askew in front of Ryan's shop this morning. Shweet car, bro! Time for an oil change? Was that you who drove by sometime between 9-9:30? Do you have gold wheels? I was sitting in the shade across the street waiting for them to open shop & saw another LGT drive by. I was talking to some old dude who was waiting for the cycle repair shop next door to open. He told me he was going to have the owner sell his moped b/c he has double vision in his right eye... not to mention the fact that he got into an accident a few years ago on a different moped. Did I mention he was old? Like in his 70's. Yep, time to move on to something safer gramps. Ryan & Davin did my 60k service + upgraded to Hawk HPS pads & some stainless lines I bought from Kevin. It took awhile, but it was worth the wait. They did all that & still beat Servco's price for the 60k service. Ryan said the rear brake lines for the Leggy are harder to do than the Impreza. Those guys are super busy this week... b/c of the upcoming tune. Speaking of which, good luck! Wish I could be there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontempler Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yes, bro.. that was moi. Da one with matte gold rims. I didn't seeya! if I did, I would have stopped by to chat. Yeah.. Ryan & Co. are busy as hell til next week. I had to drop by and have Ryan check out my brakes, they were squealing.. found it it was just teeny stone embedded on the back plate of the brakes. A 2 minute fix! I had Ryan install my SS lines when he did my mods.. feels nice! has better modulation. yeah.. my tune is this Monday. kinda anxious now..

simontempler Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 BTW, is anyone interested in meeting up and compare/evaluate suspension setups/tuning? I'm curious to know and perhaps even experience how others have their aftermarket suspension setup for our beautifully glassy smooth roads here in Hawaii.

Nautious1 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 BTW, is anyone interested in meeting up and compare/evaluate suspension setups/tuning? I'm curious to know and perhaps even experience how others have their aftermarket suspension setup for our beautifully glassy smooth roads here in Hawaii. not sure if I could meet up but I have H-tech's on the stock struts and it rides a little bit stiffer then stock. Surprisingly, the rear dropped more then expected. It suppose to be like a .9 drop in the rear but I think it went much lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as ride quality, A LITTLE harsher than stock. But not too much at all. I should also be getting a rsb soon. Me loves auto-x now . Also I don't care how rough my ride is. Coming from a 240 with fully adjustable arms and coilovers. I'm used to bouncing around everywhere. I personally love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808subaru Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Running bilstein strut w/ sti pink springs. Kinda soft setup, but the 08's are a lot more heavier than previous years. Oh and watch out for the rim denting potholes...GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontempler Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Racecomp KW Tarmac coilovers, Whiteline front and rear sways, Kartboy endlinks, Cusco rear strut tower, Sti front strut tower, Cusco lower braces, Perrin PSRS, Whiteline front roll-center adjustment kit over here. Car is lowered to 1.5" above the tire and the fender lip. Still looks higher than a stock BMW! I hear ya on the rim denting roads here, bro... my 19s got so dented I took them off and replaced with Enkei RPF1 17x8.5 (15lbs) and 245/40/17 050 pole shoes. Much better ride!

808_lgt Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I hope you plan on autocrossing with that suspension set up. I'd love it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontempler Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'm hoping to, if I can pry myself off work. I have been fine tuning the setup, but I find the 17s are simply just not up to handling the weight if this car. I'm thinking 18s are better suited for the LGT. 'Thoughts on this, anyone? Comments and criticisms are always welcome! Or maybe it's my tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substitude Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 My mod funds are running on fumes, but eventually I'd like to go to 18 x 8's, perhaps with 235/40/18 BFG KD's. Then, if I'm still able to auto-x on a regular basis, maybe I can get me a set of race tires to use w/ my BBS wheels. Chris/John/Francis, I'd ask if anyone wants to do some fun runs with the next solo event in October, but I think we're running in heat 1... and I don't think I'll be sticking around all day. Perhaps some other time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808_lgt Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yea if we ran in the afternoon I'd be down for sure. That way we can switch cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some other time? I'm sure 17's or 18's would be fine. Maybe a wider rim, like 17x8 or 18x8.5 as substitude has stated. Chris, i will be able to make the october event, but won't make the nov. one due to vacation. There is also test and tune in january, so everyone can practice driving skills, and switch cars if they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substitude Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Congrats to Simon on some great numbers his Leggy threw down on the dyno at Rad's!! 323 awhp & 398 awtq!!

It was definitely an anxiety-filled day with tons of work related calls mixed in. Overall, the experience has left me exhausted. Let's not forget my senior moment of not filling my tank up thus having to rush and get a tank at Checkers AND gas during mid tune (!!! THANKS, FRANCIS!!) and missing the Fort Weaver exit cos I was on a biz conference call on the way there. I had to exit at Kapolei to make my way back... Sheesh... I was 'encouraged' to make the post ASAP and here's da link of mods, bro: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95790 Thanks for your support, Chris! Hope we get to meet up real soon!
