Sponge Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 click the little menu bar and it will blow them up to original size... the forums compress the images for the every day thread. Well worth the look. Gotcha! thanks for the pointer...it even says it on the top to do that:lol: I am bad at following directions...or so my wife says. I had that same B4 emblem on my old 05 sedan you may want to move it a little to the left. I will look more centered and OEM IMHO...That is a great looking car aaron, can't wait to see the JDM front end My vB Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoRilla Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 So yesterday I Koji modded the headlights in flat black (also blacking out the orange sidemarker), I also painted the fog light surrounds flat black and blacked out the stock chrome grill.

BigInALegacy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Got mine last June/July after I (a deer and telephone pole) totaled my truck. 40mile commute each way to work... no fun. I'll be getting a 600GSXR for the Summer though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieNewbie Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Sorry to hear about your truck... but hey, you got an LGT out of the ordeal!!! after the weekend I'm up to a whole 300 miles on her. I've driving around in "I" mode so, it's been a little boring for my right foot. But I've been playin with with all the other stuff to keep busy -oh yeah and looking at the road too!!!-. Question for all you LGT rollers, I traded in my 05 LGT for the 08, and is it me or is the 08 a lot quiter than than 05? I dropped the SI drive into S# once, okay twice... alright at least 3 times:p and I don't seem to get the same grunt as I did from the 05. different exhuast, not broken in yet, or is it refinement of the 08??? Hmmmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Sorry to hear about your truck... but hey, you got an LGT out of the ordeal!!! That's what I keep telling myself! The truck was SWEET! Completely modded out over the previous 4-5 years of ownership. (Plus it was paid for... ) I do miss her, but the LGT makes it a bit easier. Re your question: I never drove anything but the 2008's so I can't really compare, but it is a little quiet stock. I think once mine got broken in, I noticed the exhaust rumble a little more. I really noticed it when I backed into my spot at a little Beach Hotel this Summer, with the rear directly in front of my Hotel room. My Girlfriend says "is that your car making all that noise?" :lol: I opened the door: "I guess it is!" I replied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieNewbie Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well, I am looking forward to a little more noise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Also, people here have different takes on the CAI thing. Many think it's not necessary, personally I couldn't live without the noise. But, in any case, an intake will provide all the nice turbo suction sounds that we look for. I am personally running the SPT intake I went SPT primarily for warranty reasons, and I love the sound it makes! Couldn't imagine driving without it!

collegemt Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I had a SPT, but sold it and went with the AEM. The problem for me with the SPT was difficult to tune and a little bit loud, i could have lived with it but the wife hated it. The AEM is perfect for me, not too loud but can still hear the turbo and BOV. I definetly agree w/ biginalegacy, could not live without a intake. W/O the intake you can't even tell you have a turbo, even after a D/P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieNewbie Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks for the input guys! I agree, I don't want to have to crank the radio to supress the noise coming from under the hood. I prefer a sleeper anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigInALegacy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Yeah, I'm not sure compared to others, but the SPT definitely makes some noise (which I think may have attributed to my "taking off the line too fast" ticket where I was only going 30mph ... but that's another story ) but seeing I bought the 80k warranty, I figured SPT would make everyone happy (ie: the dealership). I won't do much tuning anyhow until that runs out, so that's not a big issue for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateWA Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 You got a ticket for accelerating too fast? that sucks. If youre not speeding you shouldnt get a ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieNewbie Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Big, I hope you fought that ticket!!! Sounds pretty unfair, unless that 30 MPH was in a 20 MPH zone... Still sucks... I've been pretty lucky, the last 3 times I've been pulled over, I've only gotten warnings ... but I'm not complaining!!! Probably just jinxed the crap out of myself:lol: see ya on the streets!

BigInALegacy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Yeah... it was complete BS Some "City Ordinance" he nabbed me on. The fine was actually for "failure to use care in starting"... whatever that's supposed to mean. But yeah, I'm fighting it for sure. So not to clog this thread, here's a link to my thread on it... I was pretty peaved, so the first post especially is a bit of a rant. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78538 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
