djmonkey841 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 a fairly easy way to figure out if it's a 2005 or 2006 is to look at the headlights (assuming they haven't been painted already). If the headlights are completely chrome, it's a 2006. If the majority of the headlight is a charcoal color, then it's a 2005 (unless painted). or just post up a picture of your car and most the people on here would be able to tell. I don't think it's a case that they don't see legacy's very often. Cause I'm pretty sure that's their main focus.

dorikin69 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 It's a 2.5gt WAGON. They only made those in 2005 I thought? So, therefore it must be a 2005? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusiast Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I would not let the above comments dissuade you from using Rupair. I have used them to do my sway bars when I first bought the car. For a turbo install Suba Performance is top notch as well. My mod list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icrackedcorn Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 It was all i needed to hear to get off my arse and do it myself. I contacted them a few times about tracking down parts and my emails are still unanswered. im friendly with an exhaust shop that can do the little things im not equipped for for a fair price anyway obedience to church and state is subjugation to the unjust authority of men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 +1 for SUBA Performance. Sent a friend there with her Saabaru which everyone thought had a head gasket problem. In about 5 minutes they diagnosed a bubble/air pocket in the radiator causing the Thermostat to give false readings. Topped off her radiator (reservoir was ok) and sent her out the door at no charge. She was very impressed with their service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was very impressed with their service. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention SUBA as well. John from Rising Sun Auto in Boulder recommended them to me. They changed 2 wheel bearing systems for me after diagnosing quickly. Swiss Auto (Broadway) on the other hand, missed this diagnosis initially and after working on my car a few times. SUBA also noticed my driver's side rear wheel bearing needed a replacement as well and told me to take it to a dealership to get it done for free. Good guys Kyle and Troy are! Also worth noting, Shortline wouldn't replace the wheel bearing for free since I was lowered. But Burt came through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGuava Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Anyone recommend a good alignment shop in the Denver (preferably south) area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Anyone recommend a good alignment shop in the Denver (preferably south) area? I went with my local Firestone (104th & Federal) and bought lifetime alignments for both my lifted Wrangler and lowered LGT. I know Firestone is pretty generic but they've taken great care of me. I've taken the Jeep wheeling a couple times and the LGT accidental wheeling once so I need to get both in again. I paid ~$149 up front for each I think but I've seen coupons since for $120-$125 lifetime alignments. That's a good deal, especially for a vehicle you plan to own and one that doesn't have a stock suspension.

Zed 2.0 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Can anybody recommend a Denver/Boulder shop that does work on Saturdays? SUBA Performance completely (and pretty rudely) blew me off when I asked. Edited February 26, 2009 by Zed 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusiast Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 If you can get over to AWD Pirates there is a vendor that does work on weekends and is "VERY" reasonable on the prices. http://www.awdpirates.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=36224 I know collegemt, tommypenguin have had their clutches replaced by him so them may chime in. I will be taking my car to him soon to have some work done myself. My mod list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommypenguin Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Michael is the person Enthusiast recommended to get my clutch done. I had no issues at all, and extremely reasonably priced, I would definitely recommend him. He would do sway bars front and rear along with endlinks for 75$...

Michael did my clutch as well and I have had no issues. I mean $200 for a clutch install that is redicoulsly cheap. I think he does a turbo install for $100.

CGuava Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Wow, $200 is definitely and awesome price for a clutch. Going to have to go to him soon, that's cheaper than my time in getting prepped to do everything. Also, FWIW, I took the car to Stan's Alignment and Brakes per some AWDPirates comments. Top notch guys in there and they do good work, an alignment is an alignment, but they've earned my business for that kind of stuff. Priced cheaper than the one stop lube shops in town too.

Find a Firestone Lifetime alignment coupon - it's about $30 off. Look in your Sunday paper.. or I bet you could even google a coupon.

praedet Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Watch out at Firestone folks. I don't know which one it was, but they DESTROYED Brett's studs. I am pretty sure the lug nuts were torqued NORTH of 350 ft-lbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGuava Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I had Firestone take a look at the brakes of a previous car I had, I was just driving by and the truck was having issues. They said that they couldn't find anything wrong. Took it home, took the drum off the brakes and the shoes had disintegrated. And they said they couldn't find anything wrong.
