  1. CAR IS SOLD Year, Make and Model: 2005 Legacy GT Wagon Limited Color: Red Miles: 151k Transmission: 5EAT (auto with steering wheel shifters) Title: Owned Lien: None Location: Austin, TX VIN: 4S3BP676554313286 Seller's email address: awall1981@gmail.com Asking Price: $3,200 OBO Adult owned, no kids, no pets, non-smoker. I am putting my WRX wheels on this car - Koenig wheels. Due to pic limitations (20 only, also finicky) message me for the photo album. Either I'll sell this to an enthusiast or dump it with Carmax. Switching platforms and getting tired/old of bending over this car. Pros: Cobb stage 2 - AP included Crawford AOS Aftermarket air inlet Bilstein springs/struts/shocks (inch lower) Magnaflow exhaust (sounds great, no drone) OEM subwoofer Leather, heated seats (comfy) Subaru enthusiast owner - mechanically inclined Cons: Clear coat coming off Sun/Moon roof inoperable (won't close if opened, don't use it) Driver side window switch is finicky Valve cover gaskets leaking Loves gas - city MPG is 15 Things I've replaced since ownership over last 25k miles: Rotella T6 every 3k miles, oem filter Radiator Brakes/rotors all around Front calipers Brake fluid Headgaskets (resurfaced heads and got valves/springs tuned) Aisin Timing Belt Cabin filter Cabin blower motor A/C freon replaced A/C condenser and dryer A/C pressure valve A/C high pressure hose Back mid panel and emblem (black) Front CV axles Front tie rods Front balls joints Front and Rear wheel hub assemblies (wheel bearings) Transmission speed sensors (Tranny shop asked if the tranny module was aftermarket cause it has clean and precise shifts) Transmission fluid Front diff fluid Rear diff fluid Intercooler gasket Battery Front headlights Rear brake lights Wipers
  2. Getting ready to post my 2005 GT limited wagon for sale on here. Red, 150k miles, stage 2. Clear coat coming off. Sunroof inoperable. Valve cover oil leaks. Tired of fooling with it. Good car for a young'un or a parts car.
  3. Saturday I warrantied out a warped front rotor at Advance Auto. Replaced the idler pulley with the Gates one (very quiet now). Also tightened down a seeping fuel hose on the rail assembly. Changed oil and filter with Rotella.
  4. July 5th replaced my ac compressor, condenser/dryer, expansion valve, and o-rings. Had previously replaced the blower motor and blower resistor after charging the ac system. Good ole blower resistor went out a week later about the same time the ac stopped blowing cold. July 5th also went and got the ac system charged up. The shop's ac machine overheated. Ended up driving my wife's forester for a week. Went back to the same shop and the damn machine overheated again. At this point, I figured my car was cursed. I went ahead and replaced the ac relay with oem. Went to a different shop to get the ac charged and their machine overheated. Oh, did I mention my sport light started flashing? Yep, just randomly came on in the Texas heat. So last Thursday I change the tranny fluid with synthetic redline and castrol. Damn sport light flashes again. So next day, I drive it to a trusted transmission shop in Austin. Wouldn't you know it, they can't replicate the stored code in the TCM driving it on and off all day. Yesterday, I took the leggy to get the ac charged while it's relatively cool out. All good now. Cool ac and no sport light blinking. I think my legacy heard my cussing about how I'd trade her in an buy a used lexas v6. Love my car. Hate her quirks.
  5. I have Moore blast plates on my built 02 WRX with the 5MT "glass tranny". So far so good. Also, have you thought about running equal length headers to lower cylinder 4 temps? I didn't see them on your build list, so figured I'd suggest.
  6. Wow, subscribed for sheer astounding curiosity. I consider myself a shade tree mechanic and have pulled engines/trannies, etc. The physical aspect of swapping parts isn't the issue here, it's the sheer amount of fabrication/modification and chasing electrical issues. I'd rather drive a POS then do something like this. Just my 2 cents.

  8. That's a huge rock! I guess it could have been worse, but still damn!
  9. Sounds like he's a good tuner considering his recommendations on your car. I'm getting road/e-tuning currently. Do you know his experience with E85? I missed MotoGP this weekend. Instead, went to rally cross in a '97 Impreza wagon. So much fun. It was over at Brianne Corn's track. My buddies and I usually check out the private events at COTA on the weekends. It's a great track. Have fun with your car. Hopefully you can get it on the track sometime soon.
  10. Glad I found this thread. I didn't realize Cobb HQ leased out the dyno over the weekends. I'll start talking with Mike for the future on my WRX. Thanks.
