  1. @infosecdad: I see we have the same exhaust… It came on the car when I purchased it. I paid extra since the P.O. claimed he spent a lot to get the tips adjusted to match the bumper. I agree it is “loud” in the low frequencies at idle, and sounds good (not droning) at highway speeds. I asked my neighbor about it, since I back out of my garage at 6:30am and his (usually open) bedroom windows are 100 feet away. He said he can hear the “low rumble”, but it’s not an issue. Which is fair, since I hear his Corvette when he fires it up.
  2. Why does everyone remove their engine cover? I would think it was designed to make a tighter seal for the TMIC to receive cooler outside air though the hood scoop. I know that an open air filter element inside the engine compartment draws hot air, which defeats the purpose (unless you provide a heat baffle and a cold air source). Isn’t this engine cover seal the same thing? If it’s not there, isn’t the top mount intercooler getting a lot of hot air from the engine? Maybe aftermarket TMIC’s are larger than oem IC’s so it won’t fit, but why take it out if you’re running the stock IC?
  3. “Oooo just wait until you wipe down the interior and can’t turn off the parking lights!” nah…I figured that one out the first day I had the car. But I did have to google it
  4. @KZJonny; @SubOperator: thanks. Makes perfect sense. I thought the odometer was having an issue.
  5. Has anyone experienced this display on the trip odometer? When it happens, it always says the same thing.: ILL.5. no other symptoms when it happens, and it goes away only to return days or weeks later. IMG_8405.mov
  6. Find a car wash that has a chassis wash that you drive over. I do this as often as necessary when the highways are treated. Colorado uses mag chloride which isn’t as corrosive as salt, but it leaves a white residue. If you can buy a wash book or other discount method, it gets cheaper. my wash is $10.00 a shot with the cassis spray.
  7. My dash was starting to feel sticky. I heard about this stuff in a post here, so I tried it. More than a year now, and the stickiness hasn’t come back. Chemical Guys VRP.
  8. For anyone interested: Part numbers for oem mudflaps for LGT wagon, Hardware included …and a full set on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/323137233680?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DzWCZ5ZUSGi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=mm4ShqwmRX2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  9. First off, my LGT is my daily driver, and my suspension and wheels are oem. The rest of my LGT wagon is a mild stage 1: STI exhaust, Accessport V1, and a K&N filter in the stock air box. So this post is directed at people who run year round, and are driving a car with stock suspension. I drive on I-25, from Colorado Springs to south Denver (140 miles round trip) four days a week. I’ve purchased Michelins for years, but about a year and a half ago I bought these Pirelli P7 all season tires in the oem size for my LGT wagon. I love them! I drive over a pass that’s notorious for having completely different weather on each side, and elevation changes of over 2000 ft. My commute can start in sunny weather and end up in rain, snow or whatever the season can deliver. I’m sure all-wheel drive helps in crappy conditions, but I can tell they are better than the Michelins I’ve had. I’ve put about 40,000 (highway) miles on them in 18 months, and they still have 9/32” tread depth. They’re not loud, handle great (for an all-season tire) and have long tread life.
  10. @alex0856 when I receive them next week, I will post the part numbers here. I gave him my vin, and he had no problem finding them. He mentioned the rear guards were wagon specific. .
  11. I just ordered a set from Groove Subaru in Denver, so they’re still available from the accessories catalog. Thanks alex0856! I didn’t know about the oem mud guards.
  12. @infosecdad: what color is the interior? Does the sunroof still have the little arms that pull back the sunshade? Im looking to buy those and the door weatherstripping and some tan interior pieces. thanks!
  13. Does that Beatrush piece replace your rear impact bar when using a JDM bumper cover?
  14. My painter had such a hard time matching my paint he named it “f¥€ky-f¥€k red”.
