GEE-OTTO Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 3.5 years and 99,998 miles later ( I bought it with 2 miles on the clock), I finally tripped 100K on my Legacy 2.5i. I have to say it was fairly uneventful lol. Up next ill take it in to the shop, once i get a time slot and reseal the oil pump, do the timing belt and water pump, new cam seals and valve covers. Then ill need a new pitching stopper and ill probably press out and press in new LCA's (AVOs of course). Then its time for fresh Extra-S all around with Stock struts and H-Techs. Then on for another 100K , I reckon in 30K miles ill need to swap out this LGT clutch pack for another one and possibly rebuild the gearbox to address a center diff bearing issue. No real increase in NVH either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tito_b0y Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nice! I'm only at 46k on my '08. And 100k on stock shocks!? Mine were giving out on the Epics around 40k! 2006 SWP 3.0R 5EAT VDC BBQ 2008 OBP 2.5i 4EAT BBQ [RIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I attribute that to driving the Interstates 90% of the time and not the terrible bumpy roads of NoVA. I expect the stock KYBs to last 35-40K with the H-Techs, what do you think ??

tito_b0y Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ah, I see. Then I attribute my premature wear to the Swiss cheese roads of NJ and NY I think you'd fall in love with your car all over again if you put in some Koni's 2006 SWP 3.0R 5EAT VDC BBQ 2008 OBP 2.5i 4EAT BBQ [RIP] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i could find a good deal on Koni's would the rates of the H-techs mesh well ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I suspect a bearing is on the way out on layshaft so a simple rebuild (synchros, bearings and seals) will be in order around the same time the clutch goes out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
