Can any of you recommend either a good shop to use for a pre-purchase inspection or a good list of things to look for?

i bought mine from a dealer in IL and after I got it home I found out it was stage 2 and no one at the dealership knew it. haha.

Find out if the banjo bolt filter has been removed.

Also, I hope that car has a custom tune for the perrin intake. Otherwise it's running lean

Get a compression test done on the engine. Best indicator of engine health

I'll ask about the banjo bolt during the inspection... if they can check that.

 

There is a custom tune from PDX. Previous-previous owner said its set up for a good chunk of power while maintaining daily-driver reliability, and if I wanted, there's a bunch more power available.

 

Compression test is on the list of things to be done during the inspection! I'll report back today or tomorrow.

I went and checked out the car today. I never got the car inspected, 'cause I have one kid already, there will be a second in the future, and there's just no way to fit two car seats in the back (with a 6'2" driver).

 

I do, however, LOVE the car. Someone should definitely buy this thing. Its in fantastic shape, has had the oil changed religiously and drives like an absolute rocket. Not to mention, the current owner, Adam is a good dude.

 

Here's his craigslist ad:

He bought the car from a member here. Here's that listing: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-2006-legacy-gt-148182.html?p=3146002

 

Contact me if you want Adam's email address or phone number - I don't want to post them here, lest he gets a ton of spam.

 

If you have any questions about the car, I'll happily share my opinion as I have driven it and talked to both the current and previous owner about it.

 

Seriously, someone buy it!

Sorry I have been AWOL for a while, but with the weather finally allowing us to come outside I thought we should start planning some stuff...

 

Subaru City is having their 3rd Annual Car Show. Here's a link to that thread if you're too lazy (like me) to go to post #1 here:

I am considering organizing a cruise to Road America for the American Le Mans Series race which will be held on August 18-20th. The "Big Race" is on Saturday afternoon with racing into the evening. There's PLENTY of time to make arrangements and scrape together gas money. Depending on interest, we might camp out on Friday night. Linky poo:

because i am controlled by circuit bridged sputum O.o

I plan to go to Road America in June as well for Grand-Am. Subaru Road Race Team is going to be there

Hey I just moved back to Wi from California and I'd be interested in joining up with y'all sometime.

I'm up in the Cedarburg/Mequon area. I'd be interested in meeting up sometime

^ funny you mention that, my GF and I are headed toCedarburg Coffee Roastery right now.

 

Well be in my blue 06 LGT LTD. Come find the fat boy with a Venezuelan GF. HAHA

Any one from the madison area know of a good place to take in an LGT to get timing belt done just hit my 105K mile mark and the local stealership is trying to get me. They want 600.00 for timing belt install thats without waterpump and tensioner. Could use some feedback asap as i'm going to be driving down to missouri soon to pick up an sti and want to make sure everything is taken care of before the trip.

Ha, you've got a blue 06 LTD too? Mine is RPB, not APB. I work in Mequon and Live in Cedarburg, so you'll see me on Washington Ave/Cedarburg Road quite a bit.

Did you leave a note on a '10 LGT Blue about a week ago? If so that was me.

hahaha YEP, you must have parked next to me at BB&B. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy when I give thumbs up to nice cars, or in your case, leave a note on your LGT (which is the same color -- nice!). I think I saw your LGT at Culver's in Brown Deer last week Friday. We always go there for lunch on Friday's.

well, im at 164k now and i never had the tb replaced, and although it doesnt run as well as it should, i think you should be fine for that trip. get it done afterwards of course. 30k or so ago i went to fl with no problems.

oh, and im down for a meet whenever....

I would wait but my serpentine belts are pretty shot and dont want to risk it with those snapping i just figured since i'm doing them might as well get the whole thing done. Just got another quote today for 1350.00 damn.......then i realize i can get a gates kit with water pump for 250.00 and completely forgot my buddy owns a shop. Just debating taking it to him since he more of a work on everything or just bite the bullet and take it to a sub tech at the dealership.

Too funny. That was me @ Culvers. I heard their burgers were as good as In N Out.

Yup decided to order the parts from rockauto.com and have my buddy do it at his shop. Got the timing belt kit with water pump, both gates serp belts, and tstat for 350.00 with next day delivery cant wait to get this over with, well that and excited to get another subaru so my wife quits stealing mine.

So you were at Culver's for lunch and didn't even have one of their burgers? You're missing out. Kopp's is another good one if you're ever down in Glendale, Greenfield, or Waukesha... but come with an appetite. Though if you are going to stick in Ozaukee County, Hefner's in Cedarburg is good and Wayne's in Grafton/Cedarburg is good too--especially on Wednesday nights which is car night.

Oh, I had a burger, bacon double as I recall. It was tasty. Thanks for the tips on other great eateries. I love getting some place new and discovering all the local flavor, if you'll pardon the pun.

former NELOC member, just moved to the Lakeshore. Who's around?

Not to be a tard, but I have to ask... I'm assuming Lake Michigan and not Lake Superior... or even Lake Winnebago. Which part? The entire east side of our mitten-shaped-state is bound by 1.3 quadrillion gallons of smelly water

sorry, Wisconsin, Manitowoc County. Its always called "Lakeshore" on the news. It's basically the area east of green bay, but north of milwaukee, i guess.
