5th Gen Ownership - Official Random Thoughts Thread - V3

yes it should be

Yup because the PCV is the only thing keeping 18psi of boost out of your crankcase.

 

If I had kept the car, I'd have found an inline PCV or check valve of some kind and put it in the boost/vacuum line leading to the PCV as a redundancy.

 

I wrote a post at one point about changing it because it was causing a small boost leak.

Nothing about my car, but we took my wife's car to the dealer this morning. The push button start stopped working even with a new battery in the fob, and the Eyesight shut off. The tech could not get the car started either. In researching it over the weekend, it looks to be the brake switch. They gave her an '18 Outback loaner.

They gave her an '18 Outback loaner.

 

Bet she likes the Outback even if it's a basic model.

Not sure, but we just found out her car is fixed. It was the brake switch. Thank you warranty.

Realized I posted this in the Facebook group but not here. Got my custom plates yesterday.

heh, I got my 1st ticket in the GT earlier this year. 80 in a 65. Did defensive driving

Where Im at in Jersey, they dont bother you on the 65 speed limit highways, unless you break 80 mph.

I was like 10 minutes off the freeway, and just wasn't paying attention to my speed. It was a 6 lane divided Hwy too. Kind of a low speed limit IMO.

Awesome!!

I notice I have not put any air in that one wheel since I replace the tire back on the 15th of March. Still stump me on what caused that air leak since the day I bought the vehicle. I pretty much replace everything.

 

I got a hold of my body man/painter yesterday and hopefully we are meeting up this afternoon to give me a quote to re-paint the rear bumper on the Legacy due to rear ended. Thank god he lives about 5min down the road from my home.

 

My insurance already went after the girls insurance. Her insurance is paying one hefty price for a very minor hit that i think its about $400 to re-paint the rear bumper. Her insurance still has to pay my wife medical bills/Emergency including ambulance due to pregnancy, tow truck, tow yard storage for (2) days and rental on top because she was texting when she rear ended the Legacy at a traffic light

Return it, so it shows on the acct, and get her something else like a crockpot. THEN order the original present on your own acct:lol:

I'm liking this fitment 18x8.5 +35 offset, leaves it pretty much flush with the fenders. ( 225/45/18R tires)

Funny thing is I had it shipped to my work, and I put in the billing address as work instead of our home by mistake. So Walmart cancelled the order. I had to re-order it yesterday.

 

My wife is really looking forward to her Apple Watch.

lol hiding the surprise anniversary gift to our wives isn't bad right?

Sorta an interesting read here. Certainly will help Subaru in the future - no more to compete with on a sport car/sedan level at least here in the U.S.

I'm just wondering if that also means that Subaru won't feel the need to make a sports sedan due to lack of competition, or it likely already has since no more turbo in the legacy Edited April 26, 2018 by Zee199969

Man, f*ck crossovers.

 

And especially f*ck Mitsubishi. Stop defiling the names of once great cars.

agree on the F crossovers sentiment...this move, and everybody moving to hybrid/electric(which isn't inherently a bad thing...), just makes me think that in 10 years time we're not going to be able to find a midsize somewhat sporty sedan with a manual at a reasonable price. Sad days ahead friends.
