.clipse Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 went from this: http://i.imgur.com/0TDqI.jpg to this: http://i.imgur.com/SqVkeI1.jpeg ditched the boost and went for practicality picked her up just a few hours ago. it's too bad the 6-speed is only available on the base model... d'ahh well. in love with the car so far. already have the coilovers on deck it's a shame that 18"s look terribly small on the 5th gen chassis or else i would've swapped the wheels over as well. tho if anyones in the socal area and interested... wheels are for sale - 18x9.5 +34 polished varrstoen 2.2.1. will throw up a FS: thread on nasioc soon.

BAC5.2 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 You traded the WRX in on the 2.5i, because you wanted a more practical car.... And you are planning on ruining that practical car by putting coilovers on it? Either way, I like those wheels on the WRX and SWP is one of the best colors Subaru has ever offered.

blaze741 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 its a shame 6-speed was only available on the base. I myself bought the outback premium 6-speed. =] Love the current year legacy as well too! It looks a bit better than the 10-12 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are planning on ruining that practical car by putting coilovers on it? Either way, I like those wheels on the WRX and SWP is one of the best colors Subaru has ever offered. I hate to admit it, but this is a correct statement. I made my swap for similar reasons, had my month-long romance with the car and the started jonesing real bad. I did the suspension and wheels and tires. I hated the feel of the plastic shift knob and steering wheel so I took care of that. It wasn't enough. I guess the moral of the story is "know thyself". I hope you will fare better than I.

Cheers, Fredrik heh thanks for the dose of reality. i feel that i made the right decision considering i didn't really drive the wrx to its full potential like i did before. i put a healthy 60k miles into the wrx and it went from fun weekend warrior to my point-a to point-b daily driver with a turbo, in which i hardly utilized anymore. for now, i'm lovin the legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLegacy99 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 in terms of mpg, yes. i have a long commute to and from work so boost isn't the best option anymore. and yes i plan to ruin the car by putting coilovers on it Amen. I consult between schools and homes, across two counties and I spend 3 to 4 hours a day in the car each day. Can't help but think how much money I would save if I had a new Impreza....but then I figure why not enjoy all of that time in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm doing something similar but leaving my LGT for an Outback. I would get a 6MT but I don't think I could live without a moonroof and limited interior. So I'm probably going to get a CVT. It's hard to see myself type that.

Hanger Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I've owned my 5th gen for 3 months... CVT is boring *dozing off* (paddle shifter sucks too ) but now it's fun again after the coil install!! ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Oh btw, Welcome to the forum! Which sales did you deal with at Ontario? Out of all the dealers, the price they gave me was the CHEAPEST. Nice environment & friendly staff as well. Where in Socal are you? I noticed there's a 2013 Legacy SWP base on the my street too. ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly talked to angelina. price were great i'm located in the baldwin park/west covina area. edit: have any pics of your 2013 post coil install? and what set of coils did you go with? i'm going to pop mine in, in the next couple of weeks. hopefully just swapping to the legacy top hats will make the ol 08+ wrx coils fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I dealt with Angelina too, although the last minute i went with Subaru Pacific. She was nice tho. Her voice in voicemail sounds like automated recordings lol The only picture I have post install is the one in the SWP thread. I went with BC racing coilover with Swift spring upgrade ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
