  1. ya, I pop in every now & again. Just to see if someone as beaten my mileage on original motor & turbo (314k+) I miss my LGT, when I see others on the road. Then I nail the throttle on the 4.4l twin turbo v8:).
  2. Unless they fix the torque steer. I rented a 2018 V6 FWD Chevy Impala. Plenty of power from the V6, no complaints. The torque steer from a passing 2 cars that was doing 45 in a 55mph was trouble. Reminded me way I don't like or own FWD vehicles. On a side note. The Chevy Impala interior seem more cramp them my 2013 BWM 5 Series, but as a bigger trunk. Looking at the to cars side by side. The 18 Chevy Impala looks narrower and longer the the BMW.
  3. Both my Q7 & the dealer. VW are buy back. IIRC it's been only in the last few months some of the TDI's have been fixed and released for resale. FYI, Audi comes with a 4 yr./48000 mile warranty. In short, anything that makes the OBII engine light came on, it's covered.
  4. I wonder if it comes with TDI trim. My 2010 Audi Q7 is in for warranty work. They gave me a 2015 VW Golf TDI wagon for a loaner. I'm getting almost 50mpg & the engine isn't over powering, but never be accused of lacking power either. If one's looking for well balance FWD DD, this would fit the bill.
  5. S209 is estimated to be over $50k. Base STI is still under $40k, $10k+ for 35hp is not worth it IMO. Compared to other cars in that price rage. You just have to give up the M/T.
  6. No, their's another option; https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1326330&postcount=158 Yes, you can reused timing belt & whole assy. Up to you, but it would depend on mileage of old parts & if you are doing the work or paying someone to do it. IMO, more then 60k on original parts, plus paying someone to the work. I would replace everything. Mike
  7. Shifter & reverse lockout cable was from 05 sti. Both shifting linkages was extended 3/8". See link below. https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1568782&postcount=145 Mike
  8. Wrong drive shaft, you need a A/T drive shaft out of a 4EAT, not a 5EAT. From page #1,post #1 https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost...&postcount=205 From ZOrrO
  9. Yes, that all I ever ran with that swap. 05 STi fly wheel, pressure plate, throwout bearing, clutch & pilot bearing. FYL, I avg. 100k on OEM STi clutch setup.
  10. Yes, the 5MT NSS is installed. IIRC @ 75mph, RMP's was 3000
  11. I pulled the trigger on a 2014 BMW 535d xi. Got love having power, handling & 36mpg:cool:. But still miss the raw unrefined power & handling of the LGT with the Sti 6MT. Being about 1000lbs. heavier then the LGT & no hand brake. The BMW will defiantly not be drifting around corner like the LGT in the winter. http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265469&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527368087 http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265470&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527368087 http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265469&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527368087 http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265470&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527368087 http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265469&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527368087 http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265470&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527368087 Attached Thumbnails http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265481&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527392367 http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=265482&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1527392367
