5th Gen owners....who are we??

Def a premium, cold weather package, moonroof but no HK audio. The difference in working on a legacy vs impreza/wrx are interesting.

 

Even my 15 wrx didn't have the extra panels in the footwell, also the firewall on the legacy has sound deadening and padding on it that makes for finding access holes more difficult

Hi,

 

I feel like am afew years late to this post. Just joined the forum.

 

30 y.o, Male, Accountant.

 

Am not a new subaru owner, I've had an impreza before, this is my first legacy though. Just bought a 2012 legacy DIT imported from the JDM.

 

The Legacy came with legacy bilstein suspension. Swapped with outback suspension, it has larger clearance now. It came with 225/40R19 tires on 19 inch Rays forged Rims. Changed the tires to 245/40R19.

 

Glad to be part of the group

- 2012 Legacy 3.6r white pearl

- 30 years old

- College Athletic Turf

- I’ve never personally owned a Subaru, but a lot of my friends did growing up and my brother has a bugeye WRX, So I was always around them and always wanted one. I had a turbo 240sx and and E46 coupe, bought this because it was low mileage and I needed a commuter, Legacy feels great and the 3.6 is pretty quick without having to deal with a turbo. Always loved the flat six sound. I miss driving a manual though. The paddle shifters, although helpful in telling the trans where to be when you want it, is very boring and in no way comparable lol.

- no mods yet besides debadging the trunk. Might do some small thing here and there, again mostly a fun and comfy commuter, but it’s hard not to want to do a few small mods, especially an exhaust.

 

My old cars, certainly nothing special. Won’t be lowering this one like these. I’m over that whole thing.

Where are the pics on the 3.6 R Legacy???

I’ll post some once I get off work, I only have a couple cell pics though.

 

*edit*

 

Here ya go, nothing cool yet. I am really enjoying the car though, excellent cruiser driving 70 miles a day, little wander on the highway sometimes.

 

Got it about a month ago with only 50K on the odometer, 70miles a day adds up very quickly though

Usually cosmetics are not the first thing I worry about, more of a function > Form guy. However, with this car the first thing I want to do is get those front plate holes filled and painted, Its driving me crazy. Not a fan of the pinstripe either.

 

Then probably a few suspension bits, exhaust, and wheels. Nothing crazy.

 

I'm torn between wanting 18s with some meaty tires or 19s, these fenders are so damn big.

Hey

 

How has the suspension swap affected the handling?

Subaru All Weather Mats so far. I would love to turbo it. I just went to the Northeast auto show and would love to find a way to get the new funnels to an oem intercooler for that stealthy n/a look but I doubt that is going to happen.

Unusual color...I have never seen one "in the flesh"....post up some pics.

Oh yeah, and forget the turbo idea....been discussed to death and it is just a non starter.....lots of money for almost no results.

Third Subie; learned to drive on a ' 90 legacy wagon 5mt, then 04 35th anni legacy 5mt. Both passed away well before their time was up...

 

Not going to performance mod it. I've already stuck in interior LEDs, plan for headlights and other exterior LEDs, swapped fluids (steering, oil, brake, soon to do trans), and going to swap in my 04's atoto a6 touchscreen once I figure out how to address amp issues!

 

Love the community already. Keep the info flowing, getting into petty arguments, and talking shit - that's what makes a forum great. Glad to be here.

Didn't mean to rain on your turbo idea, but there is pretty much nothing that can be done for reasonable money that will get extra power out of our 2.5i Leggys. We have a 2.5i and a 3.6R in the family.....if you want to "Upgrade" your 2.5i, spend your time and $$$$ on handling and braking.... bigger rear sway bar (20 mm STi or Whiteline 22 mm) maybe wider, lighter wheels and better tires....add in some bigger brakes.

Exhaust set-ups add some nice sound but do nothing for power.

Nice lookin' ride....enjoy it

Check out 3.6rangus on Instagram for pics/ides on the Caramel Bronze color. He has done quite a bit to it to make it different.

I always look forward to seeing what you do next to that car.

On the way back home tonight from WV, I was on US522 southbound outside Winchester VA and ended up behind a fifth gen GT, grey, Invidia exhaust (N, not Q, I’m guessing), VA plates, and a dealer sticker on the trunk lid that said Lehigh Valley Imports. They made a light that I didn’t so only had a brief look in the dark but it appeared to be in good shape. Who dat?

Loved reading through this thread and seeing the range of people who love these cars.

might be the one i've seen in the city in richmond. 522's a nice stretch to take a ride on, and easy to get to from here. don't think the owner's on here though

I've always found a lot of good knowledge in forums. This one has been no different so far.

First Subaru--I've always been a Honda/Acura guy. This was an umodded, low mileage, one owner, w/fastidious dealer service history--down to the light bulbs

Mods: Window Tint

Goals: Accessport, Perrin STS/bushing/stop, WRX rims, Turbo-back exhaust. I want this to be a dad-spec sleeper DD that goes 0-60 in ~4.5s.

Welcome to the forum...add an STi 20mm or Whiteline 22mm rear sway bar to your list...believe me, you'll thank me later

yep, a chunky rear sway bar is a must. lucky you to find a low mileage example, as these things reach the decade mark they're getting rarer and rarer to find low and unmolested. GL with it

Hey. It's me, ya boi. I'm back.

 

Guess I posted in the photos section instead...
