BigInALegacy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I enjoy your avatar. Where'd you get that one? (You can PM me so we don't clog up the thread) Oh - and the stance looks very nice. Wish I could ride like that, unfortunately these New England roads aren't as forgiving as they are in Cali! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFlorenzano Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Very nice car. I just ordered an 08 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT 5 speed in Quartz Silver Metallic. I really like this color and those wheels look awesome on your car. So, I'm wondering what low buck mods you can do to these cars. this will be my first Subaru so any information will me much appreciated. Thank you, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFlorenzano Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I think there's only about 4 of us on the entire site with them. Where in CT are you from? I just moved to Concord, NH from Cheshire, CT. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFlorenzano Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 You should always wait 12 hours between sealing and wax, otherwise the seal doesn't cure properly. You must have done the Zaino wax treatment. I did the same thing to my GMC Sierra when I first picked it up. Zaino products are second to none! I'm going to do the same to my Subaru when it comes in. Nice car! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirsimon Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 So, I'm wondering what low buck mods you can do to these cars. this will be my first Subaru so any information will me much appreciated. *Panel filter ~$50: improves mid-range power slightly, sharper throttle response. *Rear sway bar ~ $200: makes the car much easier to rotate, reduces body roll. Those would be the first low buck mods I'd go with. After that, replacing your stock RE-92 tires is a MUST. Virtually *any* performance/all-season performance tire will be better. You could upgrade the tires to something better (and get better handling/braking) for ~$500-600. Once your tires and suspension are set, an Access Port is the best "bang for the buck" power mod, as it allows you to reflash your car's ECU to match any hardware mods you might make (better flowing downpipe, cat-back exhaust, intake). You can improve braking a lot with more aggressive pads like Hawk HPS or Bobcats. Pair it with some stainless steel brake lines and the brake "feel" will be much better. Again, start with the tires, as they are the car's weakest point. -DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 AP just came out... $700+ though, not exactly low cost but good cost/performance ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigInALegacy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 So guys, HKC just released a pair of Carbon Fiber eyelids for the 2008's. It's the only pair they have, and I believe the first they are offering to US customers, so I'm grabbing them to see how they look on the QSM? Any opinions on how it may contrast? I think it will look sharp seeing as how there's already a bit of black on the 08 front end. If I like it I may get the CF ARC hood scoop too, and maybe black out the headlights, if there's not too much black. That and the Hyperblack 18's I never got to order last Summer and I think it'll set off the QSM quite nicely. Anyhow, I'll post some pics for your viewing pleasure once I get them. Dunno how long that'll take though, if they ship from JDM land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skater Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Here's my 3.0R I'm keeping her stock except I'll be replacing the RE92's with Eagle F1 All Season. I really like the Quartz SIlver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Nice skater... if you want something subtle check out the spoiler I put on my trunk. Fairly cheap and looks very purty.
