  1. I have driven a couple of Levorgs, I just can't deal with CVT in a so called "performance" car. The Auto is enough of a stretch, but CVT in that powertrain is a "no deal" - it works fine in my 3.6 Outback though.
  2. yes the orange light in my newer 2018 Outback remains "on" which means the lane departure is "off" which is what I want to happen. In the older Legacy GTB I have to hold the button down for 3 seconds every time I re-start the car which is starting to be a little frustrating. Any tips? most subaru owners will agree that lane departure is too intrusive as it beeps about three times quite loudly everytime it thinks you are veering off the road. fine once turned off though obviously.
  3. I have just bought an NZ new 2012 Legacy GTB as a daily and the lane keep assist defaults to "on" every time I turn the car on. I can push the button located on the ceiling where the map lights are located and hold it for 2-3 seconds to disengage it BUT I have to do this EVERY time I turn the car on. In my newer Outback (2018) it keeps it off permanently until you want to re-enagage the system again. Anyone got any ideas on how to disengage permanently?? cheers.
  4. I've just picked up a '98 manual Legacy GTB in White (wagon) and the previous owner has painted the wheels black. I am wanting to have this car as a weekender (my daily is an '06 3.0R-B; and want to return it to/keep it as factory as possible. Does anyone know the colour code that the wheels came factory? I know it is more of a bronze silver than just an out and out silver colour. Besides showing the panelbeater photos online, wondered if I could get more specific than that for him. Cheers.
  5. Hi @csrgm1915 yep still very happy with my option from Rapid Radio, cheap and easy replacement and gives me enough performance my my relatively basic needs, more punchy than the original sub too.
  6. Foe the bluetooth system, get in touch with a guy called Lance - he is based in West Auckland and has a mobile service. 021526 238. Plus he has a legacy wagon himself so you know he knows what he is doing and can see it in action before he does the work. Works with my music/spotify and can answer and end calls with my steering wheel buttons. Its great!
  7. I ended up doing a straight swap for a new sub in the boot as the factory one kept tearing. I used Rapid Radio just off K Road and they installed it for me while I waited. Seems to be working fine and I've had it for the last 4-5 months. I didn't end up getting the one I quoted in my original post, but another one that was slightly cheaper that they had in stock. If you drop in and see them they will be able to show you a couple of options. Zero Flex 8" woofer.
  8. @Andy_Mac I have airbags unfortunately.
  9. anyone ever end up installing new seats? I have an '06 facelift BP 3.0R and hate the seats, once you start pushing in the corners I move all over the place.
  10. ah this makes sense, I just got this on mine with a flash of a number "3" and I had been driving for 3 hours straight!
  11. I have a BP5 JDM 3.0R-B, I was coming home back into Auckland from Rotorua yesterday, and on the dash below the tacho where the trip meter info normally shows how many km's of range left, km's done etc etc, a number "3" flashed up along with some Japanese writing for about 4-5 seconds and then disappeared. It did it 2 or 3 times. I have had the car 7 months/10,000km and never seen this before. It flashed up too quickly to have time to take a photo of it. Has anyone seen this before and know what it is telling me?!?! Cheers.
  12. @LegacyBLErbd what was the outcome of all the above? Did you make any changes? Any issues with noise? Increase in performance?
  13. It was a 4ohm, same as the factory one. Was a straight replacement in the space in the boot corner - Rapid Radio installed it in about 25 minutes. To be honest for my music listening it seems 100% fine. very happy.
  14. thanks guys, I ended up going for the rockford one as it fitted easily and was a straight replacement. To be honest I am just happy having reasonable factory sounds and no nasty vibrations from the old split factory sub.
  15. I have managed to source a rockford-fosgate-p3sd4-8-8-4-ohm-shallow-subwoofer from Rapid Radio in Grey lynn which is 8" shallow sub and also 4ohm. Am i right that this should work as a straight replacement or am i overlooking something with these complex Macintosh factory set-ups?
