Where Is Everyone At??

[Dookie]

"Real Genius" had to be my favorite movie of Val Kilmer, then a close 2nd in "Top Secret", and 3rd "The Doors"

[brownrice]

Dont forget about HEAT:tup:

[Dookie]

Did anyone like Val Kilmer in Batman?

[havanisda]

He's alright. But what I don't like about the new guy, Christian Bale, is how he makes his voice 10 octaves deeper when he talks as Batman compared 2 when he's Bruce Wayne. :tdown:

Agreed. I like Christian Bale as an actor, but Batman is def not his best role.

[Bskey]

I think Sean Connery should be the next Batman!

"Batman - The Retired Years!"

[Dookie]

I don't think he'll make it that long, they may have to cut the filming down by 30mins.

U don't like the new place already or you're still in the adjustment period?

[john]

I guess I need sunshine. Colorado has 300+ days per year, while I can count on 1 hand the sunny days we've had since moving.

[havanisda]

I think u miss the light-headedness of the higher altitudes. :)

[john]

Well yeah - that too. Amazing how much more stamina I have down here, at least for the near future. :)

More like, you still exist? This forum is on permament life support. :lol:

[SubieDriver]

Hold it, people are still posting here?!?!?!
How are y'all doin'?

[Dookie]

What?!?! Another one?:lol:

Hey how's it going SubieDriver, long time no posts. Not much is new, just keeping the life support going to keep the forum up and running.:)

[SubieDriver]

Yeah, I seem to get these occasional emails from here, so I thought I oughta post something.

I'm doing well. Don't know if I mentioned it on here (probably haven't posted since then), but I got remarried on Oct 22, '09, and had a baby boy on Sep 29, '10. I've been busy.

Oh, and I'm back to driving my Legacy again. My son was in the process of buying it off me (while I drove the Tribeca) but he decided he couldn't afford it, so he gave it back. My new wife was driving an Accord, so we all swapped - wife has the Tribeca, son has the Accord, and I have the Legacy again,... and everyone's happy.

[Dookie]

Wow you have been busy! Congrats on your new marriage and new child, so are you getting any rest yet? :) Good to see you on again and everything is going well for you.

Was it nice to get back into the LGT?

[Coppertone]

I'm in the Millville/Vineland area. I see several Wrxs and maybe a couple of older Gts if I am lucky....

[SubieDriver]

Wow you have been busy! Congrats on your new marriage and new child, so are you getting any rest yet? :) Good to see you on again and everything is going well for you.

Was it nice to get back into the LGT?

Whoops, just realized I hadn't responded to you Dookie...
Thanks for the congrats! Things are mostly getting back to normal, except for waking up a time or two each night. But that's better than the 4-5 times a nght when Nate was a newborn..

Yes, it was nice getting back into the LGT. I missed it.
I also got the benefit of my son installing an Agency Power cat-back, though it's just a tad loud for my taste. I might have to change that out someday. Anybody want a lightly used Agency Power cat-back exhaust? I think it was around $850 new.

I'm thinking of going with a Megan Racing cat-back with the quad tips.

[Dookie]

I don't miss those times of waking up through out the night feeding and changing diapers. Thank god I'm fix now, I don't have to go through that again.:)

Is the Agency Power CBE pretty loud at idle too? What about the "drone" sound while cruzing around town?

[SubieDriver]

At idle and around town it sounds fine (not too loud), it's just at highway speeds it drones a bit loud. I've noticed that it mellows right out above 80, but the cops around here seem to have a problem with me doing that. :confused: :D

The exhaust came with baffles that quiet things down a bit, but I still get the drone between 60-75mph. My commute has about 30 miles of highway, so I deal with it every day. Aside from the drone, the sound level is not bad at all, and it sounds good and rumbly, and the throttle feels more responsive than with the stock exhaust.

[Dookie]

That's why I'm still running the Hoghast system, because of the low drone sound.:o :lol: Do you plan on switching to another CBE system?

[SubieDriver]

I'm considering the Megan Racing cat-back, but haven't decided if/when I want to do that. Other things are taking my monetary resources at the moment, so it's not in the budget (yet).

The previous owner of my LGT installed Tein S-Tech springs on it (1.5" drop), and they make for a firm ride with not quite enough suspension travel, so I want to switch out to something not quite so low (like maybe Tein H-Tech).

I had bent the rims while I was driving it. My son then got his own set of wheels while he was driving it, which he proceeded to bend due to potholes and bumps, so going with slightly higher spring will reduce the expense of replacing rims.

The S-Techs give a 1.5" drop. The H-Techs are a 1" drop, so that might be enough additional suspension travel to stop bending wheels.

So, springs are proabably a higher priority than exhaust at this moment. Wanna buy a set of Tein S-Tech springs? ... and an Agency Power cat-back?

[Dookie]

Already riding on H-Tech springs, and loving it. Don't want to go any lower, the H-Techs are a perfect blend for my DD.

Would like to have a nice CBE, but I'm in the same boat as you with funds. Tax season is here and I know I have to pay.:mad: :tdown:

[SubieDriver]

Okay Dookie, you've helped settle it. I'm going with H-Techs.

Hey, didn't SubieChik say that she has S-Techs on her Spec.B? Or that she was thinking of putting them on? I seem to remember something about S-Techs not giving as much as a drop on the Spec.B due to different suspension geometry or something, so the S-Techs on Spec.B give about the same drop as H-Techs on the GT.

Maybe I'll just have to switch to H-Techs for my GT, and save my S-Techs for when (if) I get a Spec.B... :p

[brilliant sleeper]

I can also vouch for the H-techs. Though I wish the front was a little lower. There were two reason's that I did not get the S-techs. First, because I couldn't afford shocks AND springs. Secondly because of the clearance over the amount of snow we get in NH. My next suspension purchase will be a good DD coilover set-up so I can make her low in the summer and nearly stock height in the winter to beast out the snow with the winter tires.

[Dookie]

^^ That would be a good idea to easily adjust to your surroundings.


SubieDriver - I don't remember what SC is using for her suspension, and from what I remember about the Spec-B's drop, I do believe you're correct. With your DD commute, you're going to like the H-Techs a lot better.

[SubieDriver]

Thanks Dookie and BS (er, Brilliant Sleeper) for the props for H-Techs. I'll probably order them soon. The cheapest I've seen them recently is $199, which seems a pretty good price.

[Dookie]

YEAH!!!! .ORG is back up and running. Thank you KEVIN for renewing this site. :tup: :tup:

[Dookie]

So, where is everyone?

[havanisda]

I'm pretty sure SC was on H&R springs & stock struts but that was awhile ago so that might have changed.

[john]

This week I'm in Orlando.

[Dookie]

This week I'm still in Fresno.:tdown:

[JonboyGT]

Getting rained on in CT every time i want to do some spring cleaning.

[Dookie]

Ya that sucks. Happens to me almost everytime I wash the car, then it will rain the next day.:mad:

[brilliant sleeper]

underneath my car soon installing the sway set-up! 25mm rear/22mm front with endlinks..I will test it out first after the rear is on and take note of the difference. Then the front. I might even get to the tranny cooler.

[Dookie]

Nice, that's going to be a stiff rear end. Once you get the front on it should balance itself out. Enjoy!

[SubieChik]

Everytime I come back from the dead I am going to bring my thread back from the dead :lol: Bskey and I have two epic long threads in the general forum :D

[Dookie]

Tuesday here and feel much better, got some real sleep last night.

[SubieDriver]

Hey, it's Tuesday here too! What a coincidence!

[Dookie]

ha ha ha......Blah blah blah


What's going on SD? Seen a few of your posts over on .com a few times.

[SubieDriver]

Not too much. How's things with you?

I ended up not buying the Tein H-Techs - had a budget crunch, but needed to replace my seized-up strut, so I just put the stock springs back on while replacing the front struts.

It was an adventure - had only one seized bolt, but it came loose with a breaker bar w/ pipe extension.

Next project: replacing rear wheel bearings which are getting quite noisy.

[Dookie]

About the same as you, budget crunch. Damn recession is killing everyone.:mad:

A seized shock must suck, and I'm feeling my fronts are slowly going out too. Starting to have a little more spring in them when I go over bumps.:tdown:

Good luck with the wheel bearing, to bad it's not as easy as just replacing the bearing. You'll have to replace the whole spindle.:(

[SubieDriver]

Yeah, that's what I've been told, that the whole spindle needs to be changed out. Tires Plus offered to do the two rears for $650. $120 each for the spindles, the rest for labor - apparently it's a rather labor-intensive task - not looking forward to doing it myself, so I'll save up to pay someone else to do it.

[Dookie]

Meh......you can do eet!! It should take you about an hour to replace one side. Here's a link, if you haven't read it yet, to a front wheel bearing replacement. Some good tips for front and rear replacements.

http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/front-wheel-bearing-diy-walkthrough-86994.html?t=86994&highlight=wheel+bearings

[SubieDriver]

An hour? That's it? It sounded like Tires Plus was planning for two hours each side! I might try to tackle it after all.

[SubieDriver]

I'm checking into this - my car should qualify:

From http://www.cars101.com/recalls.html

5/2/2008

Legacy, Outback, certain 2005 and early 2006 models

Rear Wheel Bearings may, over time, develop a noise condition that causes the bearing to produce a whining sound

Subaru. has initiated an Extended Warranty Program for Rear Wheel Bearings on certain 2005 and early 2006 model year Legacy and Outback models. Coverage will be extended to 8 years or 100,000 miles.
During a quality review, Subaru discovered that there is a possibility that one or both of an affected vehicle's Rear Wheel Bearings may, over time, develop a noise condition that causes the bearing to produce a whining sound. This sound does not pose a safety issue and does not adversely affect the normal operation of the bearing. However, if the vehicle experiences this condition, it should be corrected by replacing the affected bearing, which will eliminate the sound. As a result of this finding and in the interest of customer satisfaction, SOA is extending the Rear Wheel Bearing warranty coverage period for the affected vehicles to 8 years (96 months) or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Technical Service Bulletin number 03-58-08

[SubieDriver]

My local dealer verified the service bulletin, and said my car qualifies, so I'll be bringing it in tomorrow. They just need to verify that it is indeed the wheel bearings causing the noise, and, if so, it sounds like it'll be covered! I'll update you tomorrow.

[Dookie]

Awesome! Even better! :tup:

[kagenmateer]

That's good to know!

[kagenmateer]

That's good to know!

[Dookie]

Werd!

[Dookie]

Even though I'm over 100k now.:(

[SubieDriver]

Update: I took my Legacy in today, and they determined that the left rear bearing is failing, so they're replacing that one, but not the other one. While they had it in, they "found" about $1000 worth of other stuff that "needed" to be done.

So, I got my left-side rear wheel bearing replaced free.

[Dookie]

Of course they would find other things wrong, they need to make up the labor for doing free wheel bearings.:lol:

[kagenmateer]

^^^ I think SOA pays the dealer for that. But yeah, they prolly wanna do more regardless.

[SubieDriver]

Yep, SOA pays the dealer. The dealer told me that SOA won't pay unless the bearing is confirmed bad, which is why they only replaced one. I asked if they should replace the other one as a precaution, and they came back with, "if you're willing to pay for it." I wasn't.

[kagenmateer]

How much was it?

[SubieDriver]

I didn't even ask - I just didn't want to pay anything more, as I knew some of the other things they recommended being done really needed to be done, and the budget's a little tight, and the tally was already over $500, so the other bearing was not high on my list.

[Dookie]

Replace when needed, that's what I say.

[SubieChik]

I'm back! Bring the thread back! :D

This is my last week here. I leave Saturday :(

:rolleyes: Funny. You know I didn't know you lived in Atlanta...

Yep, been here 12 years now. I'm in Snellville, out past Stone Mountain. I don't get down Buckhead way very much. Too much traffic getting there. I do occasionally get over to the Roswell Rd area though.

I haven't been to the biweekly meets - didn't even know about them, til now. :o

If I wasn't busy tonight, I would have loved to head over there and meet you! We just got official permission to move back into our house (Long story: tree fell on July 18, broke house & deck, took them forever to get it fixed, just got approval to move in today - wife wants to get moved back in immediately, if not sooner.).

I wish I woulda known you were in town sooner. We coulda hung out or somthing. What time is the meet?

Edit: Nevermind - tracked it down on WRXAtlanta - 7:15. No promises, but I'll try to get there.

[Dookie]

.

Oh SNAP, no pun intended. Hopefully you guys weren't in the house when that happen. So, what's the Long Story? Were you trying to cut down the tree? :)

[SubieDriver]

Heh, no, I wasn't doing anything to the tree. :lol:

I just meant there were a whole lotta details, so I just mentioned the highlights.

We were actually in Michigan when the tree fell. The neighbor heard it fall (thought it was in his own yard) at 4:15 in the morning. He called the fire dept when he saw the corner of our house gone and water spurting out the side from the remains of the toilet.

It demolished our deck and stairs on the back, punctured the roof in several spots, lowered our dining room ceiling by an inch, sliced off the ends of about a dozen rafters, and sheared off the corner of the master bath. We lost our toilet and sink along with the corner of the bathroom.

It was really odd walking into the bathroom and having no walls on that corner. It took off about six feet of wall on either side of the corner.

It was a large oak tree, about 3 feet in diameter at the base, and at least 80 feet tall. It fell across the back of our house, to ensure it damaged as much of our house as it could as it committed suicide.

Total damage estimate was $47,000.

So we now have a new deck, new roof, new carpet (due to water damage), new siding on half the house, and we got 70% of the house repainted.

We came out of it pretty well.

[Dookie]

Sucks that you have to come home to a bashed house, and good thing you guys weren't asleep in the bedroom when it happen. I would have had a heart attack if I awoke to a tree bashing a quarter of my room/house in the middle of the night. Good to hear that everything was reconstructed back and no one was hurt. :tup:

Did they determine the cause of the tree?

[SubieDriver]

The tree removal people said that the roots were starting to rot, so it was probably a gust of wind that proved too much for the weakened roots.

There were some dead branches on the tree, so we figured we would eventually have to remove it, or at least trim the dead parts, but there were enough live branches that the tree still looked healthy. The decay was happening in the root system, out of sight, so it didn't really appear sick.

[Dookie]

I was hoping for a funny story, such as, Bubba might have something to do with it...... "Hey ya'll, watch what I could do with this big ole tree there...... *Snap*........ *crash*..... WOW!, did ya'll see that? That some-of-a-b!tch tree there just smashed right into that house. Hey Jed, grab the dog, lets go!!"

What do you guys/girls feel about the current LGT?

[SubieDriver]

I'd love to have one, being better in most ways than the previous gen, but it's not in the budget right now.

[SubieChik]

At first I threw up a little in my mouth. But now it is starting to grow on me. I would add to the family but would not sell to have.

[andrew.anderson]

They clearly do not look as good as the previous gen Legacys. We saw one on Monday when we where looking at the Tribecas and I was a little disturbed by how ugly it was. Glad I have a 4th Gen legacy.

[john]

What do you guys/girls feel about the current LGT?

Not a fan of the current model. It's become ugly IMNSHO.

[Dookie]

It's become too grown up looking, designed for the more executive type person. Wish they made it a little more sporty looking like the 4th gens.

[Dookie]

I'm going to post this here.
