What did you do to your 4th gen. Legacy today? Vol - 10

Those look like wagon versions.

 

How do they sound, do you like them?

They sound pretty sweet, not too loud, just a throaty base. Sounds like the engine is gargling the gas. They stick out from the bumper a fair bit, so a little obnoxious but I think I'm happy with them overall.

 

Next step is to cat back them!

I'll be sitting out the "How much I've spent on my LGT" party.

 

Sufficed to say, entirely too much.

 

 

@flickers who in the Hell keeps gas spending totals? Nerd alert!

Wait are you saying you don't track mpg changes and cost per gallon?

 

It's just in my car tracking app to help me keep up my maintenance. But I've always tracked my mpg just to see if anything changes in the car.

I watch my fuel trims.

 

I don't care about mpg or cost of gas (e85 in my case)

What if I told you my wagon came with a little book containing the cost, location, and mileage for each tank of gas put on it from the day it was brand new until the day I bought it?

i have an excel sheet. and when i change or install something, i log it with a gas change (usually a 2 week window). mainly use it to keep track of large MPG changes that might signal an issue and oil change intervals. also helps me keep track of when i did things (last time i changed the rear wheel bearings, etc.)

That would be a plus if I was buying.

 

Dude was anal retentive.

I spent $24k for the car + $8k for the engine rebuild. Probably at least another $8k into other parts and some maintenance items (like me paying someone to do the timing belt water pump the first time) I probably have close to $40k into the car.

 

it's worth like $4k according to KBB. Investment....lol I really should have bought an STI. It still would have been worth something.

Either you drive much differently in the winter or that shows the quality of gas cycles throughout the year ("bad" gas in winter).

 

 

Probably getting all gunked up. Time to break 'er open.

That's from since 2011. Maybe try some injector cleaner.

Do you have a graph of BBV'S deucing schedule too?

Well yeah, and his cycle, but that doesn't have anything to do with my 4th gen. Now if this was the WOYM thread... Edited March 6, 2020 by Flinkly

Your trendline shows <1mpg decline over approx 9 years?

That's awesome.

 

I wish my wife's Odyssey was anywhere close to that consistent as it ages (poorly)

I had the civic for 12 years. Outside of stuff on the roof it always got 32mpg. Even with my foot in it. Bike racks took it to 28mpg.

 

And then this one time I drove from Albuquerque to moab. I stopped in moab because there was NO way my 12 gallon tank wasn't empty. Gauge must have gone out. Nope. 48mpg over 365 miles.

I stopped tallying once I went over the 30k mark.... Sometimes I think about it and realize I could have bought a GTR

 

I love my Spec B though, so no regrets.

I wish I had just bought a nice RS3.

 

Now that the weather is getting better I can dip into my parts stash.

 

Recently took a gamble on a Beatrush MCB that may or may not fit.

This mod added a tad more stiffness. Enjoy!

It was noticeable? That's good news.

 

I figured it would just be bling and it was a cheap auction.

I had one of them on my sedan awhile ago and kinda really liked it. My impression was less front flex at slow speed and over transitions, like entering an angled driveway. I'd say noticeable for sure.

 

 

Sent topfeed injectors to WitchHunter. Waiting game.

What I did to my 4th Gen LGT today:

 

The good: Passed NH state inspection!

 

The not-so-good: During the inspection, I was informed of a loose lower right ball joint so I asked my mechanic to replace it. He noticed a hack job on my front right steering knuckle during replacement of the lower ball joint. Some bonehead stripped the original threads on the pinch bolt, likely while replacing that particular ball joint. Then, as a result of a lousy drill job, this person somehow managed to break the knuckle at the pinch point. My mechanic took the time to weld the piece back into place in order to complete the repairs however the need to replace the knuckle assy will be an added cost to my already increasing suspension bill.

 

 

All that said, can anyone comment on ride quality of KYB GR2's on a 1" drop?

GR2 same as Excel G; I run H&R Springs with those at about a 1" drop and they're perfectly fine, just make sure you have good bump stops in front and don't shave them

It was noticeable? That's good news.

The effect is noticeable, yes. The only potential drawback is that it was blocking 5MT drain plug iirc. Easy to remove though when you service the tranny.

I was late to car expenses party. Good! Don't want to estimate, as this may put a damper on my future (read: bigger) plans At first glance I have few K worth of parts laying around atm.
