Euclid Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Nearly 6 years ago I traded in the following 2 vehicles: http://photos.theoriginalurl.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2964&g2_serialNumber=2 For a shiny new Legacy GT Limited: http://photos.theoriginalurl.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=429&g2_serialNumber=2 I daily drove the car for 4 years and thoroughly enjoyed the car. A year and a half ago I sold the little '89 MR2 my wife was driving and picked up new '08 STI. I passed the Legacy onto the wife who drives it to work everyday. It has been nearly 6 years and 60,000 miles and I still love the car. I have had no issues with it and it still runs strong. I hope to have it another 5 years. I did my spring detail on the car and winter to summer wheel swap. For those that care I used Menzerna Intensive Polish with an edge 2000 blue pad, followed by a nice coat of Wolfgang sealant. Here she is today, still looking new. The only things I've done to it are: STI pinks Rota Tarmac 3's yellow fog overlays 6000k HID's DIY front grill http://photos.theoriginalurl.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=22959&g2_serialNumber=1 http://photos.theoriginalurl.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=22963&g2_serialNumber=1 http://photos.theoriginalurl.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=22966&g2_serialNumber=1 http://photos.theoriginalurl.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=22972&g2_serialNumber=1 The End Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DansSpace Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Is there a guide on how you did your grill? I sprayed mine satin black, and it's starting to chip really bad. I'd love to do what you did to yours. Glad you enjoy your LGT, I hope to have the same experience with mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakabakablah Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Do you miss the s2000 at all? Seems like it's an AP1 but I can't tell for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Do you miss the s2000 at all? Seems like it's an AP1 but I can't tell for sure... I miss it sometimes. I borrowed a friends a few years ago for a week and I must be getting old because it was too rough and loud for my pussy ass. My next fun car is going to be a Porsche cayman s. I've driven one and it's fun as hell yet you can still carry a conversation with your passenger without losing your voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demo243 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 there are so many cars out there that i would love to have... s2000 included although i am more a fan of coupes then convertibles. but.... the lgt is the sexiest car i have come across. i have a friend with a full sti swaped wrx wagon... difs.. drive train.. seats.. and everything. and the car is awesome he has 450 at the wheels and i have never felt anything like it....but i love the down low of the LGT its awesome. as a college student i feel im a rare breed. but here is to the LGT and i am gonna hang onto mine as long as i cant. LGT.COM everyone is awesome. i love the STIs but the LGT is the way to go... cheers on your trip... but i have always been a fan of the LGT and i do not want to ever give up my 5mt wagon. its my baby and i can tell you treat your cars like that too, so here is to Subaru... and here is to the people who LOVE them... and enjoy your car and your life!!!!
