ScoobyRuGT Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks! Your's looks pretty clean, digging the tinted/burnt lights. The headlights I opened and painted, tail lights I used the spray tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Welcome to the forum by the way, I see you are new. There's a lot of great information here and some really good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 A new idea always comes along. I'm considering mags on mine but it doesn't bother me too much, don't wanna scuf a nice set of mags... Before I got the car I was thinking stereo upgrades but it actually sounds pretty good! Could do with a dedicated subwoofer but too much hassle to wire something like that up in a car like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I may darken mine but I'm not sure to what extent it is legal here, I would assume just standard window tint could work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I agree with you on how great the speakers are, and that it could use a sub. It really isn't to hard,I used to do stereo installs, but it really doesn't NEED it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about where you are, but I'm pretty sure even here mine are "illegal" just no one cares enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hmm I suppose... I might look into it then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I say do it! The spray on tint I used can easily be removed, so if you have any problems with it just remove it.... That's my 2¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'll think about it, thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Just realized you don't have the 2.5 GT badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That spoiler is really growing on me. I like that it's not outrageous. I do really like my trunk lip spoiler, but that is just, well it's different, and I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'm getting the Subaru dealership here to get me a 2.5 GT badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I wish I could get my dealership to order me the TS badge, but from what I've read, it's not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My dad's good mates with the main salesman here and the owner of the place cause he's had heaps of Subaru's through them over the years, he got a real good deal on my car. So I believe he was just going to look into it for me. I wanted a atmospheric blow off valve but they didn't wanna touch it and the valve is hard to get to on the 5th Gen, besides I heard it can cause issues easily if not done correctly :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 It is hard to get to in a way. But yes if you changed the bov you'd want to get a tune. Fine times for fun I'll let my WRX vent to atmosphere but it runs either rich or lean I can't remember and it stalls. Sounds good though hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The by pass valve in our cars, and someone correct me if I have this wrong, runs directly from the turbo outlet to the intake a few inches from the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The factory recirculating valve is loud enough, I can hear mine occasionally... I kinda really want more of a whistle from the turbo though. I believe the LGT and WRX share the exact same engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The turbo and it's location are different. 5th gen LGT turbo is right off the manifold, no up pipe. It's why they spool so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ah so that would mean more torque at a lower rpm than the WRXs? My dad wants me to ruin my car with a tow bar and tow boats around for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's what trucks and SUVs are for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 But yea, when I recently had my car dyno'd the max torque was higher than the max hp. Can't remember the numbers at the moment, I'm just running the cobb stage 1 map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conducks Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I might look into stage 1, and I know I know but I don't really wanna drive our sierra 2500hd or cayenne turbo, the boats aren't that big so my car should be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
