  1. Original owner. Purchased late 2004. 5MT wagon. It was sitting on the lot exactly as I would have speced it if I had ordered it. Scooped it up. Don't remember what I paid. Daily from new to 2013 or so. 3rd child forced 3-row daily, but kept the LGT rather than trade. Had gone stage 2 and decided to take it autocrossing in '15. Eventually bought a Miata for that purpose and retired the LGT wagon from autocrossing. It sat on jackstands with power steering issues for a couple years during the pandemic. Finally got that resolved last year and this year, just recently, finally took care of first timing belt service (at 95,000 miles and only a few years past the recommended time interval). Also went stage three with a simple VF52 upgrade. Car made 337 at the wheels which we will generously call 400 at the crank. Need to remove lowered suspension and return to stock height to take it on it's last hurrah as a rallycross car for a few more years. Probably won't get to the point of caging it for rallysprint as it really is starting to get fairly crusty underneath. But it's now getting driven again and I'm super excited to use it again.
  2. Just saw this wagon parked in the Walgreens parking lot across from Nanabettes in Woburn on Friday. A few other modded Subies parked in a row with it. Meet? Nobody was around though. Just some buddies that roll together while all taking their own car like in Fast & Furious? We may never know. Love the ziptie stitching on the front bumper.
  3. Silver LGT wagon on Washington St in Woburn. You wouldn't have seen me because I was in my wife's Honda. Looked stock. Also, while I was picking up said Honda from Motive Autoworks having the driver's side window replaced because some jackass smashed it in, got a real treat seeing not one, but two separate 2005 Atlantic Blue Pearl 5MT LGT wagons with taupe interiors. Two of the other 99 in the same spot. One looked mostly stock and the other was definitely not stock, but was still set up as a sleeper. Almost felt like I needed to go home and get mine and come back for a pic. Didn't do it, but it was fun seeing 'em. I know who one of 'em belongs to on here (the sleeper one), but not the other one.
  4. I love my LGT and 300awhp, but autocrossing the Miata was night and day in comparison. It's so forgiving. The LGT is so heavy that sometimes when you try to correct oversteer, you're just going around no matter what you do. There's no saving it. It's the opposite in the Miata. I feel like there is no oversteer situation that I couldn't save if I did the right things. I think the two times I spun the Miata yesterday were because I still thought I could save it and drive through the oversteer by laying down on the throttle. Driver error. But when I get a feel for this Miata, it's really gonna be something. I may not throw down the god-like times in the Miata, but I sure do feel like a driving god behind the wheel of that thing. That was easily the most fun I've had behind the wheel of an autocross car. Yay autocross season!
  5. For some of us, the sickness is worse than others. What makes you think he doesn't also have a wagon in a different color?

  7. Silver 5th gen GT spotted in the wild near the Concord Acton border on 62. Looked pretty stock. Fun to spot those though.
  8. Because 911 yo. You know, turbo boxer. It's pretty much the same thing, amiright? :vape:
  9. He's not on here. Spotted him in the wild a few years ago in NH. Gave him a little run to show him he was noticed. Don't think he noticed me until I gave him the beans. Posted in spotted thread. No response. And yes, the sticker is atrocious. Maybe he's not on here 'cause he came on and people made fun of his sticker.
  10. I can tell how old some of those pictures are by what's not in Alberto's shop. That clear blank wall next to the lift is freaking me out. There's a huge shelving system and tables and transmissions and engine blocks and all kinds of stuff there now that's not there in the pix. And that stuff has been there for a while. I can see this story progressing in time in the photo evidence of somewhere I've been. Neat. Keep it up. Don't recognize the dyno room though. Where is that? That's not Bren's new place, is it? Pretty sure it's not EFI. Love the blue Subaru on the timing belt cover. And I totally recognize all that blue nail polish on the torqued bolts. Got lots of that in my engine bay. Got any pink? They love that for the alternating color. Also, I'm a little surprised at the 850 sidefeeds. Especially with all the changes you made with the fueling system. Any reason why you wouldn't go to ID1000s? Is 850 really enough to feed 500awhp? Or is it 500hp at the crank? In which case, do you even really need meth? Thanks for sharing.
  11. Gah! Where's the next chapter? What happened to the turbo?
  12. That's how you haul a Christmas tree. I'll be putting one on the roof of my wagon later today.
  13. ^ Did you hear that I have a 9 second Legacy. Look, I even have video evidence. Look at me go!
  14. You gotta counteract all that lift those fans are putting out.
