06 Subaru Legacy

[MSPRO]

I know I have already posted it a while ago when I first got it but figured I would post my new car again since its no longer stock. I traded in my MSP last July with almost 104k miles. I would have kept it but I wanted something a bit bigger and more comfy- ha I'm getting old I guess. Anyways here is the Subie and its mods, although its a very short list as I dont want to do much to my Daily Driver anymore which is why it is N/A lol Enjoy

Thanks, sorry you dont like the emblems. I like them b.c they are different, and the car is technically a B4 lol

Nice Suby.

[altspace]

Love it. Not sure on the rim style with that car, but if you dig it that's all that matters.

hahaha you know what I'm not sure about it myself to be honest. I bought them used and mainly for the tires. They have 225/35/19 Michelin PS2's on it, awesome and very expensive tires. The actual wheel wasn't my first choice and I have thought about selling them once I get a little more use out of the very grippy tires lol.

[mazpro]

car's looking good! I have to say that I like the wheels.

Legacys are great cars, my cousin has one just like yours, 2.5i Se 5spd but in Silver

Some days I like them, some days I am like wow these are way to bling for me. I am more of the dark wheel person, but its ok. I love the car, its not fast by any means but it is a blast to drive, esp on backroads. We had a meet with 2 N/A and about 7 GT's , I kept up with them just fine on the backroads. In fact I was leading for a while and they couldnt keep up, not cuz my car is fast but b.c I can drive my slow car well lol.

lol its not much of a difference but enough for me to pay shipping only on a set of GT mufflers.

Hey AMy....If you want to sell the wheels..Let me know....Whats the bolt pattern on them....Give me a good deal And I might pick them up for a new toy in the driveway.

[Kansei]

It's a s00b so I'm guessing they're 5x100

[Drake13]

They look really nice.. not to flashy not to small but JUUSSTT perfect. The duel complents the ass end nicely

[mountjonas]

Correct you are sir. Didn't notice that in the pics before, you gotta look closely (nana)

Hahah you're welcome, I have enough large group road trips under my belt to have figured out how to keep people together. We used to actually have a caravan up the Chicago meets when I had my MSP so I would Mazda Herd for about 5 hours lol

I sent a PM, and as posted they have a dual 5 lug pattern.

My sister just bought a 06 Legacy 2.5i Limited wagon in Altantic Blue and Beige interior with 6K on the ode. The first owner traded it in at a Volvo dealer for a V 70 R. I guess they did not think it was sporty. Her's is fun to drive too.

One of my bud's have a 05 LGT Wagon that is all modded with STi and aftermarket parts. The first mod he did was software that brought it up to 300hp from 250hp. He sometimes autoxs it. I love driving it because its a sleeper besides the performance mufflers and 18"s. Its really fun to take down BMWs with it. He has a sticker on the rear window that says "You just got passed by a wagon!"

Why did you do LGT shocks and struts? I would have gone with the Bilstiens off the Legact GT Spec B. What other mods are you planning?

[MSPRO]

Well I figured that I am going to end up going with full coilovers later on this year so for now the LGT struts would work ok. They are stiffer than my stock ones, and the price was right lol. I am not planning on doing much performance wise b.c if I was going to do that I would have bought a GT. I am just working on suspension as I love to go backroads driving. I just picked up a set of 18's and bought some 235/40/18 Azenis RT-615's which will help a bit with that. I also ended up buying a set of H-techs to raise it up a bit so that I can run the 19's when I want to. I am looking into larger sway bars,as well as some chasis bracing but other than that and blacking out the extra set of headlights I have, I dont plan on doing much more. The reason I bought a NA is b.c I didnt want to have a modded and somewhat unreliable daily driver, and since we sold our other MSP we have been going through withdrawl a bit. I think we are going to look into picking up a dedicated weekend/project car in the next little while so we can keep our daily drivers just that.

[MSPRO]

Update, now have a new custom cat back, sounds good, looks stock. Also picked up a set of 18" Cosmic Blue P45F's with 235/40/18 Azenis RT615's. Love it or hate it, enjoy.

Wow, I am in the LOVE category with those rims. Very nice choice.

[Kansei]

Agreed.. those wheels like 900billion times better than the big big ones you had on. looks great!

funny thing is they are only an inch smaller, but they are .5" wider, and the tires are wider as well. Here are some more day shots from today. Also a shot of the new exhaust.

The color looks GREAT with your car's color. Wow, only an inch smaller, seriously? They're.. 18s then? The extra tire helps a ton. exhaust looks nice too :)

Yep they are 18's, I like the way the tires feel, a bit thicker but much nicer ride. Thanks on the exhaust, it looks pretty stock but sounds very deep.

[Kansei]

The look of the exhaust reminds me a lot of the Racing Beat catback on my Protege :) see pic: http://picasaweb.google.com/clauretano/FIXEDCAR/photo#5047906447495718130

The Legy look hot. I love those cars.

Here is a butt shot of one that I play with a lot.

Here is what is attached to the back of the turbo.

http://www.msprotege.com/members/blustreak/MyModParty%20029.jpg

It's an 05 LGT Wagon with a COBB DP, Greddy SP2 Cat Back and COBB Accesport with Stage 2 map. This thing pulls like a freight train and still gets 30+mpg on the freeway. Love it.

Good Luck with your build.

[Sveivo]

Hey MSPRO,

You probably don't log on much, but I was wondering, do 6000K HID lights looks blueish like that in daylight?

My bulbs are supposedly 5000K but they have a bit of a purple tint at night, so maybe they're 6000K? Mine, however, look purely white during daytime. I'm confused...

[MSPRO]

Wow this is an old thread lol I dont even have this car anymore, I traded it in back in June for an 05 5MT LGT Wagon with 44k miles. I had to drive 1200 miles round trip to find her, a stock 5MT wagon is hard to find, esp since they only made 5MT's in 05.

With basic mods she put down 260whp and 310wtq on Buscher Racings "pessimistic" dyno. The stock turbo is maxed out and the clutch is starting to slip with almost 60k miles, so time to upgrade in the spring.

[ForceFed]

Hello Stranger.

[blustreak]

That black wagon looks bad @$$.

Those sound like pretty good numbers.

We are going to be taking ours to get get pro-tuned and see what the stock turbo can put down, before we do the STI upgrade.

We are also putting Swift springs and sways ti compliment the Rota Tarmaac 2's we just added.

It is awesome cruiseing around in this wagon bucease it is so unassuming and nobody messes with us.

[blueprotegelx]

ah amy! how i miss you guys. haha. loving the wagon and i can't wait to see it! hopefully soon!

Thanks! The numbers are pretty good. Just for refrence, that same dyno has stock STI/Evo's putting down 19x-200whp which is very low. So not sure what the real numbers are, but I would rather have it read low and be fast, then have it read high numbers but not back them up lol.

Oh and I agree on the wagon thing, no one suspects anything.


ah amy! how i miss you guys. haha. loving the wagon and i can't wait to see it! hopefully soon!

We miss you too, well I do b.c you haven't even met my husband yet and it has been over 2 years he has been here now. The wagon looks stock for the winter, but despite the now slipping stock clutch, is still fun to drive.

[DeanSweet]

okay, when I saw your Subaru for the 1st time heading up to Quaker Steak and Lube I thought to myself, 'wow that a kick ass car, too bad its not a wagon..' Now thats a seriously nice subaru. :)

let me know when you go to sell this one?

Haha thanks. I always wanted a turbo wagon, but since they only made 5MT LGT Wagons in 05 it was out of the question. I have never bought a used car just b.c I am worried about how the other person treaded it but I finally I said screw it and saved up the money for the difference between the 06 Sedan and bought the wagon I wanted. Thankfully I found one and got the dealership to give me $15k cash for the sedan since it was paid off and the wagon was $18k out the door so I didn't have to pay much out of pocket. I think it was worth the extra, after all a turbo kit for the NA is more than 3k and it still wouldn't preform as well hehe.

I dont plan on selling this for a while, I love it :)

Hey Amy, there is another member on here that has a 05 black LGT. That is all modded. I use to own a 05 Satin White LGT sedan which I dearly miss. I'm thinking about buying a newer GT or Spec B if I can find a used one cheap. I got my sister into an Altantic Blue Legacy 2.5i wagon. She loves it!

I think I know who that is, I have seen the pics on LGTforums.com. I went to go look at this yesterday, but I couldn't justify spending $38k for something that is slower then my car haha. Although it has more potential out of the box I would rather have the wagon, just a bit more work on the suspension, maybe a slight turbo upgrade and then Im done
