  1. This is by far my favorite shot of a fifth gen gt, love this!!
  2. Also, what's your favorite memory with the car? Sent from my BV4900 using Tapatalk
  3. Sorry to hear everything went south! As someone about to do the head gaskets, may I ask what happened? Sent from my BV4900 using Tapatalk
  4. Yep, they've gone down to 350 in the past, which I think is half off. Definitely wait for black Friday for an accessport if you can. Not sure if they're doing the sale again but they've done it the last two years at least so I assume so Sent from my BV4900 using Tapatalk
  5. I know Cobb accessports usually are heavily discounted for black Friday, are there any other good go to sites/deals for our cars? Sent from my BV4900 using Tapatalk
  6. Mine have gone as well. 3010 legacy gt, driving another car now and saving for the rebuild. Similar coolant bubbling issues and then overheating, tried other fixes before realizing it's the hgs. I need to search here and on FB more, but any tips on other things to replace at the same time for longetivity? Sent from my BV4900 using Tapatalk Edit: 2010 lol. Also have 160k miles
  7. Thank you all so much for the advice/help! I called around for quotes on the gaskets and was quoted the lowest at 2700 and the highest at 4200, and one shop quoting as high as 12-14k as they suggested at the age of the engine I might need a new small block as well. Right now, I can borrow a friend's car when I absolutely need one, and can bus around otherwise for a bit, so I am hoping to save up for the 2700 option and try to go that route soon. I also reached out to carvana and was only offered like $500, most likely due to the 6mt and that I indicated it wasn't in great condition due to the head gaskets. If I indicated a higher/better condition, I'm sure I would have gotten a higher quote, but I doubt it would have been too high. So, definitely planning on keeping her, or at least trying to for a couple of weeks and then I will re-assess then. Thanks for all the help! NVAKeith, the issue you're describing is exactly what my issue seems to be, so I am hoping just getting the headgaskets fixed will fix the issue entirely. Otherwise, the car is in pretty great shape except for the hood fading, so I am definitely hoping to keep her for awhile. Thanks again!
  8. Hey all, so I have a 2010 legacy gt with around 160,000 miles on it. Car started overheating and I replaced the radiator with an aftermarket radiator. Car was fine for a few months, but recently started overheating again. I did a coolant flush and burped the radiator. When burping the radiator, white foam came out of the radiator which makes me think head gaskets, and possibly even the block are shot. I am in a very bad place financially so I won't be able to get the car fixed and what I'm wondering is, what is the best way to get some amount of money for the car? Do I part it out? Do I sell it to a junkyard? Do I post it on fb marketplace and hope someone is interested in an older car that may or may not blow the next time it's driven? I'm not going to sell it to someone and lie about its condition, so any tips on getting the most for a car while still being honest would be helpful. If I could, I'd keep the car and have her fixed down the line, but I don't think I'll be able to do that right now. Any tips/advice would be helpful. Additionally, I have a set of Bilstein Coilovers for our cars - I bought them off of a member on this forum who said that he had them recently rebuilt, however I doubt this, as the front driver side coilover would clunk most of the time I had them installed from day 1. The handling/feeling of the car with them on was absolutely incredible. They rode better than stock for comfort, and better than any other car I've been in for sportiness - It felt similar to driving an older m3 - very taught/level/sporty suspension, but also very comfortable and soaked up bumps. I ended up taking them off and putting the stock suspension back on due to the clunking noise. If anyone is interested in that set as well, or has any tips for this situation, please let me know. Thanks.
  9. Installed the Koyorad radiator and drove around in pure bliss knowing my engine was no longer running too hot.
  10. I'd love to hear more comparisons as well. Love the fifth gen, however I would also love a spec.b one day. Whenever I'm wondering about the three I look at this comparison chart which shows how much larger the living spaces/luggage spaces are for the fifth gen versus the previous legacy and the 2015 wrx. I was intrigued to read that the 15+wrx has more road noise than the previous legacy spec.b. My friend has a 2018 Forester and road noise is very limited in that, so I figured road noise in the 15+ wrx' would be similarly low level. https://www.cars.com/research/compare/?acodes=USC00SUC011E0,USC50SUC171C0,USB90SUC011D0
  11. Ah nice! I've seen this car on instagram a few times and it looks amazing!! Very nice work! I'm excited to see the continual evolution of this car.
  12. Do you have any videos of this? Would love to hear your setup and also to see the prodrive mufflers!
  13. Cryo, damn, but that's still awesome to know you had one, I'll have to visit your build thread. Eventually you will meet my car to tune, I hope, but unfortunately I got screwed over by a shop that installed a new clutch and within a year its started to fail, and believe me I'm easy on it. Next car funds have to go to that and a new radiator. But one day. Love the car. Sent from my G8441 using Tapatalk
