  1. Let a crusty former GT guy come with you on a cruise? I owned an Outback last October for about 5 weeks....
  2. Yes. A year ago I went through front pads and a rotor in an 8- session day out at miller. 8,000 daily miles and one open track day and welded a pad to the rotor. Pad shifted and bound the r front piston in the caliper. It started to transfer the backing plate to the rotor 10 minutes into the last session of the day and I thought I lost a wheel bearing. That $200 track day turned into $1200 in brake upgrades. I’m scheduled to go out in November.
  3. 2008 2.5i auto, cloth, heated seats, upgraded head unit with integrated phone, aux and blue tooth, with 110,000 miles on a 2009 motor. 500 miles on the swap that included new radiator, all timing components and water pump. All service records since 9,000 miles, 2 owner car, always serviced at dealer every 5k. Rear wheel bearings are new, front rotors and pads 4,000 miles on them. Has Weathertech floor mats and Subaru rear cargo mat and removable doggie gate. Also has a 1” hitch in place to mount a rear bike rack. Odometer says 187,200 but everything has been serviced or replaced. I want $8k for it, retail book is 8,100 before all of the new parts. Motor has 5 more months warranty with unlimited miles.
  4. Crazy unbelievable at stage II with all the supporting mods!
  5. Anybody looking for a great daily? 2008 Outback almost ready to be posted for sale
  6. Can I come back into the club....... Wannabe?
  7. And I thought I was the only confused one.
  8. Can you say that again, just a little slower so that I can understand?
  9. Are you running an OEM recirculation valve on this stage II set-up? My car used to fluctuate with what the 'tuners' called " waste gate flutter". In all actuality it was the recirculation valve bleeding boost pressure that it couldn't hold. It made for some weird boost issues until I upgraded to the FORGE recirculation valve. Once I upgraded turbos I then ran the Forge valve with the stiffest spring they included and used the additional 2 spacers (or shims) to make it as stiff as possible. I ran that set-up even when the boost was reduced to a 15psi tune for all daily driving. Maybe that is an issue? If not, go back to your tuner and make sure all is well.
  10. Pre-sale inspection at another Audi dealer came back with compression from 130-140 between all 8 cylinders. Said it would need rear brakes in the near future and an air filter. That was it.
  11. I hauled ass one more time before I prepped her for sale! I am moving on to an S4 avant wagon in IMOLA Yellow Slower car, more expensive to maintain. What the Hell am I thinking?? Who has a friend looking for a wagon? http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/ut-2006-legacy-gt-wagon-limited-5eat-rallispec-motor-fully-224816.html
  12. I have mine bypassed and am running a MT oversized aluminum radiatior, external tranny cooler with external thermostat.
  13. Thus the need for an external thermostat to go with your external cooler. Best of both worlds.
  14. When I was having p0700 codes it was gear ratio codes
