  1. Did it make the reserve price on EBay @ $8300?
  2. Both wagons still not road worthy but might take the RS out there. No one is going?
  3. Hopefully it finds a home here but looking like a good start on the EBay bids. ($6k and climbing) Saw it there first and figured this MUST be a LGT.com car. An 08 XT w/ 5sMT in a solid color is hard to find. GLWTS!
  4. Thanks Shralp and Pleides! As far as what the car had done to it, here is the original FS thread: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/ma-taunton-legacy-2005-gt-wagon-sold-276499.html I guess Boxkita called it on the "it broke" part but she will live again. xD @Shralp, you are still on the same cozzie pistons and they are holding up? I will give Dave a call as well and I forgot about Rallispec. @Pleides Its currently a GS TMIC with a madrig custom scoop but i have been thinking about retrofitting a 08-14 WRX COBB or Perrin FMIC. It still has the HTA71 that it came with but I am thinking about a rotated setup this time but that is probably outside the realm of a stock RA setup with any kind of longevity in mind.
  5. Thanks Pleides! The RA block is using the same crank as the normal STi's still so my guess is mid 7k RPM is the limit until the drilling on the crank deprives the rod journals of oil? I am probably going to go the RA route with re-gapped and coated rings as I like to drive the car year around. This may sound silly but with head flow work and just replacing the crank and rods with billet aftermarket on the new RA block does anyone know if the stock RA pistons can handle 8k RPM engine speeds? I have been searching for more info on the RA blocks and all I find is how with 450-500WHP they seem to be holding together so far. (quite impressive)
  6. I bought Save the Wagons Blue s402 wagon right before the pandemic hit. About 2k miles later, I was accelerating onto an on ramp when it felt like I hit the rev limiter at 6700 RPM and it sounded like the engine backfired out of the intake. (the engine deaccelerated so hard my arm hit the wheel with such force I thought I broke it) At idle, the VTA Crawford Race AOS smokes like a witches pot on Halloween and if I pull the dipstick, it will splatter small amounts of oil out at idle like a cut carotid artery. At first I thought it skipped a tooth on the cam gear or something of that nature but after seeing the other two things I'm guessing good old ringlands? I haven't had the time to do a compression, leakdown or borescope check yet but judging by the blowby from the AOS, I think the writing is on the wall. It was a IAG stg1 block and was doing 324HP (@5546) and 349TQ (@4458) (tuned by Perry/The Subaru Shop) and should have been well within the power limits. (AFR was high 10's low 11's at WOT so no lean conditions, A bit too rich but I guess safe) Engine was install by AWJ in NH so all the work was done by reputable shops I believe. I was hoping to get at least 50K out of the engine as 5k is a huge disappointment. Is everyone investing in RA blocks now or is there something better as I'm very hesitant to go the IAG route again. I would love to do a high revving destroker but I don't hear much about those and I personally hate the piston slap sound on cold days of the forged pucks. (hence thinking RA) Can anyone recommend someone in the tri state area that knows how to properly build a Subaru engine with some longevity in mind?
  7. Madrig, Let me know if I missed your shipping cutoff. I need to add more to my stable of growing Madrig CF parts. I need to log on here more often...
  8. PM sent. I am converting a 2006 GT to JDM sport/S402 facelift bumper/fenders/headlights. I bought a spare set of OEM harnesses but would prefer not to hack if this is PNP?
  9. I used this resonator on one of my wagons (single scroll) and it made a huge difference. I can talk in the car on speakerphone without any issues now and can still enjoy 'tunnel resonance' with my right foot when desired: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-1142 You can also get it for far cheaper than summit and on amazon there is someone with a 4th gen GT wagon with a comparison vid.
  10. Harriman/Bear Mountain is a great place to drive around and hike. Thanks for the idea of a smoke generator to look for fuel tank leaks. I might be needing to do that soon as well.
  11. From what I have seen, L is for the later model 2007-2009 (Airbag and insert changes) and fits other models as well.
  12. Has anyone run Amsoil ATF on a 5EAT? I'm not that brave to try it and still only run the Subaru stuff.
  13. Hi all and I hope you are all doing OK through this pandemic. I have ordered a DamD wheel from Japan and I keep going back and forth with them because ours are a BP6 model (USDM) and theirs are a BP5 (JDM) and DamD is telling them they cannot confirm fitment for a 2005 LGT wagon. (1/2005 production date) The wheel part number i'm trying to order is SS358-D(F) Blue Stitch/Carbon So far all my research on here says it is the right part number but I don't understand why DamD is giving them an issue. We have ordered dozens here in the USDM market and i'm not aware of any fitment issues. Has anyone ordered that wheel (SS358-D (F)) for a 2005 BP6 and had issues? (BL should be the same as well?) I have been going back and forth for over a month now with them and am getting ready to throw in the towel on it and wait for a used one...
