  1. Could have sworn there is a national recall for rusty rear brake lines. Check with you local dealer, if so you're covered.
  2. I work on the peninsula quite often, just flew out yesterday. Going back in two weeks for a bit, may ping you for a viewing pending home boss discussion.
  3. Very nice vehicle, solid mechanicals and upgrades. AC good? Ever get to the Bay area?
  4. Yes we did. I ended up moving to Portland in 2017, drove the car up from ABQ. Ended up swapping titles out for another 05 LGT with auto when my daughter got ready to drive ( not a great place to learn for a new driver ). She totaled it about 2 months later ( no one hurt thank goodness ). Got her a 2012 Impreza 2.0i for replacement, still going strong. The 6mt sedan changed hands a few times, heard from the current owner the engine was sick ( someone after me played with the tune ).
  5. Good golly, in my "old" backyard too ( ABQ for a long time ). We're in the 'Q next month for my father's 80th, would be so much fun to talk the home boss into a diversion LOL ( yeah right ).
  6. Good deal. This thread has helped a number of people with the shutdown issue: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/loss-off-power-radio-and-climate-control-3459.html
  7. You at Ronler Acres facility? Pic looks like the parking structure. Used to see a white wagon over there with gold BBS hoops. GL with the sale.
  8. Quick question, when you installed the JMP turbo did you change out any of the banjo bolts for ones with a larger orifice? If so it could be a cause of high oil consumption ( higher pressure pushes oil out of the turbo bearings and into the impeller areas ).
  9. Anyone know about the fitment for 2016+ Camaro Brembos? Couple of sets local but couldn't locate any info on the Camaro vs Caddy stuff.
  10. Yes you are correct. I missed that you installed a Spec-B trans, my comment about swapping NSS sensors is for the STI 'box into a 2005 Leggy. Shimming the NSS should solve your problem.
  11. You need to use the switch from your 05 trans, check with this link: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/soa-5mt-cruise-control-fix-incompatible-ap-tdc-reflash-48638.html Basically the 2005 model used a Neutral Safety Switch that is opposite in function to the 2006+ models ( Normally Open on one, Normally Closed on the other ). IIRC I had to splice in the 2005 NSS due to the location on top/back of the 6MT trans. Also note you may have to shim the NSS if you continue to have issues.
  12. Bezel is fine from 5MT, boot is way different. 6MT boot attaches to 5MT bezel in same way.
  13. Absolutely correct, SpecB is longer. I confirmed this when I bought my pre-swapped LGT, PO gave me the shifter linkages ( he had not installed them ). Had them side/side, would say LGT stuff is around 20mm longer than STI. Obviously you can run with it, just puts the shifter arm forward a bit compared to the console.
  14. Was getting ready to ask the exact same question, thx kred. I have the USDM 2004 STI box. Reason for me to install, I get a slight popping/bind from the trans when taking off from a stop with the wheels turned ( leaving a driveway, entering the street, in a parking lot, etc ). Initially thought it was the front diff ( PO did not update sundials and it ran about 2qts low for a long time due to leaks ) but after talking to those familiar with DCCD I suspect the non-controlled lock position of 35/65 may be the root cause. Thanks for any info on this, worst case I/we may have to lead the way. May go the manual controller route first altho the "intelligent" models look pretty slick.
  15. Just spent the day testing and changing my NSS. Confirmed, 2005 NSS is NO ( normally open ). Also confirmed on an STI switch, it is NC ( normally closed ). ASSuME the 06+ Leggy is NC but didn't test that one. My original switch would BARELY close/engage, had to be positioned just so else stayed Open. Got another from the boys at BoostInc then tested it before jacking the trans up in place ( BTW thanks KC and Mike for the Dogbone/Drop method info ). Quick test drive says good! Another reason I think it's resolved is that before the CC kicked off the throttle plate would "surge" when engaged. No more surge.
