sgtpeper Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hey all, I have an 05 STi and I am still seriously thinking of swapping to an LGT. My problem with the LGT however is that it lacks a few things Ill really miss on the STi. Somewhat harder suspension Short shift kit Bit more power I'd love to see if someone in or around Denver has a spec B that has been modified with at least better suspension so I can see what an LGT feels like with tight suspension. Anyone?? Thanks! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Why are you looking for a Spec B in particular? Any LGT with the same aftermarket suspension would handle about same as a Spec B... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtpeper Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thats true. I just really want to get the whole package with the 6mt and honestly feel the extra weight of a modded spec B. I would not turn down getting to take a look at anyone's modded lgt though Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtpeper Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 THanks guys that would be great! My old house is really near 32nd and Lowell. I just moved to Wash Park actually a week ago. What mods have been done to you 08 grocery getter? finse - that would be awesome as well - where about are you located? Is the 06 any different other than interior and front bumper from the 08? Oh and the dial on the 08 heh Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major difference between the 06 and later models is the transmission (I am only rocking a 5 speed) and the iDrive. AFAIK, the suspension didn't change.

sgtpeper Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Awesome! Is there a decent time later tonight that I could stop by to check it out? A spec B with proper suspension really may be what I'm looking for. Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grocery getter Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 To funny on the Wash Park move, I lived 2 blocks from Sushi Den in the Platt park area and moved to the Highlands in June! This is my wifes daily driver so I current have some minor modds and don't expect to go too crazy (power upgrades and maybe some springs). My 04 Forester XT is my daily driver and is more the extreme between the two (full STI swap). Mods so far on the 08 SpecB: Accessport v2 - stage 1 map Cobb adjustable short shifter for the 6 spd Cobb radiator shroud Brembo BBK front and back Rota Tarmac III's on YOKO all season 235x40x18 Also have the following sitting in my garage I plan on upgrading in the next 2 months; Megan dual tip exhaust Indiva catted DP STI manifold STI top mount STI BOV TGV deletes VF39 turbo (pick this up free from a buddy of mine this week) Plan on going down to Revolutions to get the car tuned on the AP since that is where I bought it. Personally I love this as a daily driver and occassional track car and wanted something bigger then the WRX without the boy racer looks. I know that you can upgrade the performance of a LGT to the Spec B on the cheap but it is a pretty plush interior and comes fully loaded. Not sure what deals their are out on the LGT or the Spec B but I got my this year for 31k (w/tags,taxes) out the door in the Springs. I will be available this weekend if you want to take a look.

sgtpeper Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 That would be great. I'd love to see what it feels like even at stage 1. And the short shift kit sounds like it would be fantastic - and well needed! Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtpeper Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 You can see my other thread with parts for sale, but I ended up buying an '08 from the dealer in Colorado Springs. Chris and Patti there gave me an INCREDIBLE deal and they are going fast! Mine is black on black base model and I'm pretty happy about the whole thing Thanks all!

grocery getter Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Did you get the LGT or STI limited?? Also any plans for the white 05 STI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtpeper Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 I got the 08 STi Black with black/grey leather. THe 05 is being dropped off at the dealership on Saturday or Monday morning. I got a good deal on the trade. I'm trying to sell off the parts but having very little luck! Ill have to come by your place after I pick up the new car sometime to show it off haha!

grocery getter Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Cool deal that is a great price on the STI...might be interested in the guages? wonder if they would fit the legacy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtpeper Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 if everything goes right, I'm gonna get rid of the pods, and keep the gauges for future use on the new car - hell they were like 1300 new 2 years ago eek! Going to Arapahoe Subaru where a girl who works there is thinking she wants to buy the exhaust system and will have the techs there uninstall everything and install her stock system on my car. Sweet.
