  1. A tuner offered me to sell; and the price was good. So I decided to sell it to him (at least he can name most of the tuning parts, this was one of the major reason I sold to him instead of a random dealer).
  2. If I really want to get rid off the TPMS light (beside taking off the bulb); should I install those AUTEL sensor and have the AUTEL MX (?) to clone the OE wheel sensors and reprogram to the new sensors? Reason being is I think in summer time, the OE set may not be annoying as the winter set BRZ wheels.
  3. Good idea; but I remembered if the TPMS blinking, it is either outside temp is below 37F. or the speed sensor in error before the CEL kicks in.
  4. Look up the carfax report, they should give you the first owner (either rental or personal use) where they purchased the car from. Then if the dealership still there, try to give the VIN number to see if they can pull up something. But 05' may be achieved.
  5. I have my 2008 Legacy GT with OE Wheels, one of the wheel has slight bent (only visible when it put on a balancing or driving over 70 mph). No TPMS light on unless I drove 70 mph+ So I decided to switch all four wheels and tires to my 2013 BRZ Wheel (which also has TPMS sensor at 315 mhz, but it is different style, Subaru Parts # are different). Then bring it to a local specialty store to relearn it but the TPMS light kicked on whenever I start the vehicle with the BRZ wheels (which has snow tires on it). My question is, should I order a new set of 08 Legacy GT TPMS sensors and put them on the BRZ wheel? Or should I get those Autel sensor which can clone the OE sensors?
  6. If you have a jack stand, it is easier to do it from the bottom. Counting the Air-Intake to be removed, and igition coil (if you are due for spark plug replacement, replace them while you are working at it. Remembered to mark the hoses, I remembered there should be two hoses connected to the valve cover.
  7. Do you have GEICO (did your parents government employee)? Thinking mine 08 LGT was like 200 annually (or 320 full coverage).
  8. sound like a dying starter. Not enough amp to go to the starter (at first) but also bad solenoid.
  9. Second thought, wow, that is an automatic....at least my son can drive it on his practice run.
  10. Also trying to sell the 08 Legacy GT, it has 44k original miles. This forum did not let me post it yet so have to wait. Check other Nasioc forum for detail.
  11. Updated with BRZ wheels on my 08 Legacy....well TPMS throw the error code...
  12. I have my OE 6-stroke wheels, one of them was bent by hitting a sand dune (from the snow plower). So decided to use my older 2013 BRZ wheel which was 5x100 48 offset. It fits perfectly fine until I realized the two TPMS were different (at least the shape). 13 BRZ and 08 Legacy has same frequency of 315 mhz on the TPMS sensors. But I tried the local specialty shop and they try to re-program it, it was working like for first day. Then next day when I started up and drive, the TPMS instantly blink and light up. Any suggestion or concern should I be aware so i can get the 13 BRZ wheel's TPMS work? Should I buy aftermarket TPMS (work for 08 Legacy Module) and install to the wheel in next tire replacement (which is coming like another 4 months)
