GTSpeed Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 OH YEAH!....It only took me 5 days to make it too this point...Now it's time to test the rev limiter I guess? (after I change my oil tomorrow). I'll be posting pics of the ride ASAP - I've been too busy driving around. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brio11 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 looks like you got a new house when you got the car, or i hope so, the grass needs some lovin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 You waited that long to redline it? I thought the manual was kind of like those yellow signs along the side of the road, you know, 35mph turn (really means like 60.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSpeed Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 looks like you got a new house when you got the car, or i hope so, the grass needs some lovin' I'm closing on the house in 2 weeks. The lawn is priority #2 after I properly hook-up the garage floor with a black and white checker board paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru should give me a reward for being so anal with the break in...Never above 3500 RPM, and I drove it so gently that I got over 28 MPG on the first 2 tanks. I guess my days of good gas mileage are over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brio11 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 GTSpeed, where in syracuse are you? I'm in manlius. I went to Bill Rapp today and everyone was very nice. Test drive was super. I love the small steering wheel for the Legacy, it's like driving a go-cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossodave Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I recommend lowering springs first! http://www.rosso-web.com/LEGACY.HTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Wait, I thought break-in was 4000 rpm until 1000 miles! http://home.comcast.net/~nlehmann/leg/breakin.jpg -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I put the camera down, I threw it into 4th and took it to 95MPH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the small steering wheel for the Legacy, it's like driving a go-cart. I live downtown...I just finished at Upstate Medical. I'm moving to Pennsylvania next month. I almost bought my car at Bill Rapp, but decided on getting it at the dealership in PA where I'll be living for the next 5 years. If you're gonna get the car at Bill Rapp, let me know. With a little negotiating, they had a smoking price for the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSpeed Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I recommend lowering springs first! http://www.rosso-web.com/LEGACY.HTM How's the ride quality? I thought I would definately do springs, but the car is already low, and the wheel well gap isn't bad IMO. It does look even sweeter lowered though. Did you go with Pinks? Are you worried about wearing out the stock shocks very quickly, or did you change them too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are moving quite a lot of Legacies with their killer deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's a good idea to stay out of South Jersey, my passenger took the photo. If you like that one, you'll love this (from my previous '01 GTI 1.8T). Yes it's real, not a photoshop: http://home.comcast.net/~nlehmann/pics/gti/hundred.jpg -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmarko Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 http://home.comcast.net/~nlehmann/pics/gti/hundred.jpg Awesome! 100K, 100 mile trip, and 100mph. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
