Looking at a 2006 OBP LGT LTD today. Hopefully it turns out better than the last few I've checked (one had a blown HG on the left side...lol).

I figure it will be a nice pair up with our current car, a 2008 AWP STi w/gold BBS.

Getting the LGT for the wife's DD. I'm in charge of the STi.

Plans for the STi are pretty basic. DP, catback and a tune for power, maybe a CAI for sound more than anything (I'm not a BOV guy but like hearing the engine breathe). Exterior will just be Hellas and mudflaps.

As far as the LGT goes it's going to get more money thrown at it.

Engine/exhaust plans are DP, UP, catback, CAI, larger core TMIC, VF52 w/supporting bits. Exterior would be Hellas, flaps, trunk swap (this one is wingless, any takers?). Suspension/handling would be '04 STi golds for wheels, Spec B suspension, possibly change out the brakes to Brembos (although I've heard swapping the rear brakes is a pain). It's a 5EAT so we may do a valve body upgrade, not sure though because this particular car shifts better than all the other LGTs we've been checking out.

By the way, does anyone know if the 17" BBS wheels are ok with the Spec B suspension parts?

EDIT: forgot about sways/endlinks for the LGT.

Yeah, but how many reports have you seen of turbo 2.5s with a blown HG? Should also mention the steering rack and tie rods are shacked. Also it had a bad valve cover, dent in the rear passenger bumper, cracked light lens and a trunk that didn't close.
