Merc6 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Fuel line recall? Yeah I got a letter for it years after engine was pulled because it's still registered under VA. Ohio didn't make the list. Can't find online so I'll try and find it at home. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LegacyGTGa Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Anyone here have a SWP Wagon in the Mentor area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web94 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I do and am in mentor every now and then but live in Cleveland heights. My winter wheels are plastidipped aqua so if that's what you saw, that was me haha. I met a guy last year who also has a swp wagon tho. Not sure if he's on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverGT06 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 How about the Avon/Avon Lake area? Thought I saw another modified legacy heading south on nagle rd heading south at Detroit. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw aqua wheels! It was near Taco Bell on Mentor Ave. Probably around March 7th. The roads suck so bad up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web94 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 How has everyone's header heat shields held up? Mine are pretty much shot and I'm installing an up pipe this weekend and I'm less than confident I'll get them off in one piece.. started soaking them with PB blaster tonight in preparation. Maybe I'll just wrap them with some DEI stuff i have leftover, but not sure how that'll hold up in the long run being right next to the road (I took the diaper off a while ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baconbits Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Actually just ripped my passenger manifold and crosspipe heatshields off this weekend. The driver's side is still holding fine but I do have a rattle with the uppipe shield. I'll yank them all off eventually and DEI wrap everything.

web94 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I think I'm just gonna go the wrap route too. probably have enough left over from wrapping my up and dp and still have some ceramic spray paint leftover too. Just staring at the nuts/bolts holding them together.. i dont think they're coming apart cleanly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web94 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Been a while since I saw an lgt in the heights, but just saw a black sedan with black wheels in front of Swenson's on Cedar around noon. I was sitting in the parking lot in my wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1ROTA8 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hey all NEOhio folks, just joined on here and put the following post into new member introductions: Hello all- I recently came in the possession of a reasonably decent 2003 GT 2.5. About 110,000 miles. It’s been sitting for a long time, and I need to get it properly into shape. Runs ok, but I don’t know anything about it’s service history. My mechanical skills are generally just good enough to get myself into trouble. So I’ve got that going for me. I’m in the west Cleveland area, so recommendations from that region would be well received. In a nutshell, I don’t know what I don’t know. Thanks, MAH BTW, I’m in Fairview Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, MAH BTW, I’m in Fairview Park Hey this thread is for turbo 2.5GTs only! Kidding:rolleyes: Anyway, this thread really isn't very active, so you will probably get more responses elsewhere. I'd try out the 3rd gen section, specifically, if that even has enough activity these days. Unless you have something specifically wrong, the only things you really NEED to look out for are head gasket leaks (internal is serious, external depends on severity mostly), timing belt/associated pulleys, and rust. Check your coolant for oil and your oil for coolant. That will tell you whether the head gaskets are leaking internally. If the timing system has not been changed yet, change it as soon as you can. It is a small investment to protect your engine from certain failure. Check front and rear subframe for rust holes. If none exist yet, there's nothing to worry about there. I live in Fairview as well, and am looking for a 2000-2004 Legacy wagon for an extra car. My daily is a 2011 Legacy GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1ROTA8 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Thanks for the reply. Who do you recommend locally to look this thing over for me? Really I’m just trying to get an idea whether this car is worth putting much effort into and, if so, what I’ve got to do to make it a dependable daily driver Thanks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you enjoy your time with these cars. They can be fun, or a nightmare, or both lol. Unfortunately this group is not very active, but the forum still has good info and people tend to engage when you ask questions after you've already done some research. If you're on Facebook, check out NEOSOC (North Eastern Ohio Subaru Owners Club). It's a good resource for shop suggestions and meet ups but that's pretty much it. Most of the traffic is people taking screenshots of their AP and expecting the group to tell them what's wrong with their car or asking for the millionth time "wIlL tHeSe RiMs FiT??" so it gets annoying.

mzsinko84 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I got my car 05 lgt back but from being repaired, I gave the repair guy a cold air intake for the 05-06 lgt to put on, he put it on but my car just stalls when it’s sitting there at a stop sign or a traffic light.

BoozeRS05 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 What's the check engine code? Our cars do not like intakes other than the factory setup especially if not tuned for it. I'd recommend returning to the factory intake asap, clean the maf, check the engine code before driving much more and report back. Our cars even have a diagnostic code reader built into the car. It's not hard to use and is a searchable thing.
