Cool, I figured as much reading through various post. I have plenty of tools, and a compressor - though need tools for that. What do you recommend from Harbor?

The car is already tinted.

I usually just have the vents on and windows down when it's hots. Even if the vents were off, just the temps from the engine bay will soak into the cabin and heat it up....

Hmmm, if I'm in auto mode I can redline it, manual mode it most likely will shift early. I've been meaning to take it to the dealer to look at it.

The cheap hog mod is great, You get the full Subaru sound for next to nothing. You can run without the cans all together, nice and loud under WOT. Not really doable for a daily driver, so stick with...

I just want to reduce the cabin temps in general, without the AC. I don't see why I need to run the AC when it's only 70 degrees outside on the coast, with a nice breeze, but the cabin is still...

I'm going to add tint to my 3.6 that has dark interior. I've talked to tint guys and they have said watch out how dark you go, the dark tint will start to absorb the heat and distribute to the car....

Looking for a modest build

I'm looking to mod my 07 LGT. I want it a bit more peppy (and maybe a few more MPG???).

I've had Subaru do an oil and coolant leak test, I do burn some oil, 1/2 quart per change - 3750, which is...

I use the recir button and windows down as well, so I'm not getting as much engine bay hot air through. In the summer it's still a killer though.

Air filter, that was on the list to change. :)

5EAT early automatic upshifts in manual mode

I mentioned this in someone elses thread, but don't want to jack that.

07 LGT, 75k miles

Reducing cabin temps

Owned my LGT for about 2 years now, just shy of 75k miles, around 52k when I bought.

^ Agreed, I've steered clear of Mobil 1 since buying my LGT, not going back. It does break down under heat quickly, its like water when you drain the oil. Fine for a small engine I guess, but you can...

Nice job. Seems like you got a few extras for little or no cost.

I'm planning on taping off a bit of the hood and front bumper and plstidipping a faux bra. Small project, worth a shot.

I love my 07 GT!

We got rid of our 07 Impreza 2.5i and traded (in a round about way) for a 2013 Legacy 3.6R.

The GT has more power, but we love the 3.6R as well.

I wouldn't go back to a 2.5i...
