    sounds good already planning on the S4B cruise. I am paying 15k... its high i know. But I have been looking for a while now and after having been dissapointed with some spec-b's and missing out on a few good ones im just gonna jump on this one since i love it. it also comes with the accesspost and winter tires so thats convenient. The stage 2 i would have done myself so that doesnt take away value to me. My crappy toyota is need need of a new clutch so thats money im not losing if i buy the car as well. also the used car prices suck right now.

    Can you? Sure, make certain the seller has your story backed up, in case the DMV follows up (unlikely). Should you, well, thats another matter....

    Good deal. Welcome to the LGT fam. Signal-to-noise ratio is better on MNsubaru than legacygt.com, but there is still a lot of good stuff (walkthroughs, etc.) to be found over there after you wade through it all.

    Welcome, I paid 13k for my 05 3 years ago with 58 on the odo (Was a steal back then when most were 17-18k)

    Stage 2 is nice and fun, yes but stage 3 is way better;)

    Glad to see more lgt's

    i got it sat and absolutely love it. the short shift and knob is soooo solid and its super fast. (i am coming from a 1992 economy toyota). my one complaint is that if u get on the turbo theres sometimes a strong exhaust smell in the cabin. i dont know if this is because its running rich and i should get a protune or small gasket leak. i also had the stock downpipe in the trunk yesterday so that didnt help lol. also, is it easy to adjust the headlight level? it has 6000k hids i dont want to be that guy

    heres an interior shot ill get some exterior when i dip the foglight trim

    Search the forums. There's a guy on here named Ben who will do your whole car for 180 and will do it less than legal light emit off the books. I had him do my LGT @ 40%. Kinda wish I went 35 but that's neither here nor there. One of his shops is in Eden Prairie, he works out of other shops as well. Ceramic tint with lifetime warranty. Mines held up well going on almost 2 years

    Headlight level I think is a 8mm socket behind the headlight somewhere(Haven't touched it in a while now, so may be wrong)

    Is it catted or catless?

    Catless will smell but I haven't smelled anything in or outside of the car.

    Yeah, get a tune either Nuke(Road tune) or Ron(Dyno tune)

    I wouldn't get a tune until you're stage 3, that way you won't be paying twice for a tune

    I was stage 2 for about 6 months and now stage 3

    I could of saved a couple hundred bucks by going straight to stage 3 and just had 1 tune but do what you want

    Don't flash a Stage 1 with the DP on there...keep it at Stage II. Do you know where the car was tuned before you bought it? It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have Nuke check out the tune and fine tune (no pun intended :)) everything. In the long run, it's worth the small amount of money to have peace of mind of a nice tune.

    I work right in that area, so I'm sure I'll be seeing you around...I typically fill up at that BP over lunch.

    Nuke is a member on here who will do an opensource road tune, you can PM him to get more info. He has tuned a lot of cars from MNsubaru and many people will vouch for him, including myself. He even tolerates my n00b questions :)

    I used to live right in that area, I was in the apartments right next to Wendy's. I still live in GV, but more towards Douglas and Duluth. My station is at Winnetka and GVR. I am guessing you are on the south side of 55?

    I will keep an eye out for you then, if you see a black SHO and the driver is waving it will most likely be me.

    2010. I sold my 2011 WRX this weekend and picked it up. First time in almost 10 years I haven't had a Subaru in the driveway.

    Don't bother with Nuke cause he's not gonna touch your ride with a 12 foot pole until you square things with badbennyb. And you can take that to the bank. ;)
