Is there a definitive list of which WRX seats (material and color) came in which car I\'m looking for a really good condition pair out of the non turbo earlier impressa, the grey/black tweed type material Not terribly easy to find. Just wanting to know which other models the tweed type material came in On the other hand if someone has a set of mint tweed seats, with rails for a decent price, let me know. Let me know regardless of color, if price and condition are right in could forgive the color.

Judging by the grammar and spelling (cuz), I\'d be a bit hesitent. I know I\'m stereotyping but sounds like boyracer talk to me. Personally I would rather a standard one with a service history and go from there.

Oh crumbs I assume the tophats from a non bilstein rs wont fit gt bilsteins?

Bugger. Will the tophats from an rs swap on to a gt?

Hey all, I have a BG5 tt wagon. It has factory bilsteins from another bg5. I bought some low king springs from trademe after the guy advised they were for a bg5. Fronts fitted fine, rears not so much. The factory springs are the same diameter at the very top and bottom, the king springs supplied are the same diameter as the factories at the bottom, but the tops are about 35mm less in diameter. Have I been given the wrong springs Do I need different tophats Thanks.

Don\'t get me wrong, when you\'re in 2nd or 3rd, put your foot down, primary kicks in, vod, then the secondary turbo kicks in, there\'s nothing like it, the pull, the speedo shooting up, the noise, the fact that my tt legacy is probably the fastest car I\'ve driven above 100k. Just sucks when you\'re not watching properly, change gear slightly too soon and the revs drop into the vod zone...

3500rpm isn\'t too laggy... I guess you could always put a slightly smaller primary turbo on so that the initial boost comes on a bit earlier?

Why don\'t people do this then to their tt setups? Sounds like their are no drawbacks?

If you were to just hack it out and weld some piping in it\'s place, would it just mean both turbos would spool up together, ie. No vod? Would you need to add a wastegate on to the secondary turbo? Ecu play ball?

Is there no way that you can remove the ecv all together and have the exhaust gases running through both turbos right from idle, rather then just the primary turbo getting all the low down gases, then the ecv switching to both up higher? Or will the ecu crap itself if you were to remove the ecv?

That\'s about the same fuel consumption as my BG5 tt. Going to replace the air filter and plugs to see if it makes a difference.

Definitely top notch! Perfect set of wheels for the car and lowered the right amount. No stupid body kit, just factory goodness!

Awesome. The door locks are buggered, has keyless entry alarm and keyless key entry thing still works, plus I can always climb in through the boot if I have to.

Hopefully simple... are the rear door handles on a bg5 wagon able to be put in place of the front ones to delete the locks?

Also think I might have heard something about forester wheels fouling on legacys? Does anyone know if factory 18s from a forester will fit a legacy with no issues?

Sorry, came across a bit wrong. Yes I did want to make sure they fitted, thanks for answering that. I would also pay decent cash for a good set as well. For aftermarket wheels I wouldn\'t pay as much as it\'s not exactly what I want. But I\'m not going to completely rule a set out if someone has some nice ones. Also for insurance purposes if I was running factory Subaru wheels I don\'t have to tell them. They said only want to know if I am running aftermarket wheels.

It\'s the BP ones that I want the most. I\'ve missed a few sets, last ones went for $900 with almost new tyres, I forgot the auction was finishing. I don\'t want to or expect to pay heaps, especially when you can buy brand new 18" rims for under a grand,and tyres now days are getting so cheap. I know you pay for what you get, but the car hardly moves, maybe once a week.

I really want factory Subaru wheels, but for the right price I could go aftermarket. How much you want for them?

Thanks for that. I would be happy with any of the 18" wheels shown there. Now just find some...

Which Subarus come factory with 18" wheels? I know the bp legacy turbos do, sti forester? I\'m looking for some for my bg5 wagon, I assume all will fit fine? Anyone have any for sale?

Thanks guys... Good to know. I don\'t rape it, I service it every 5000k\'s and it\'s all factory. No tappet noises, no smoke etc... I\'ll keep the block then. Going to give her a 200,000k birthday, gaskets, spark plugs, new engine/gearbox and diff oils, all belts replied etc... I have just heard so many stories about the engines in these letting go in under 200,000ks...

I have a BG5 tt Legacy, motor is almost coming up to the magical 200k figure. Car is completely factory, doesn\'t blow any smoke, turbos are good. Few issues however. Cambelt is coming up due and there is an ever so slight leak from the tappet cover gaskets and from the front cam seal. When I say not much, between 5000k services you hardly notice it on the dip stick. Do I get my mechanic to do the gaskets, front camseal, cambelt, water pump, tensioners, spark plugs etc etc or... Do I get one of those rebuilt blocks from trademe, and replace my block and get new belts, pumps, spark plugs etc put on? I\'m just a little hesitant to spend upwards of a grand replacing parts on my current motor for it to crap itself... Are the tt short blocks the same as all the other blocks? Is a well looked after, serviced, factory tt block well capable of more then 200k? I don\'t care to modify the motor and it will stay factory and tt. Thanks

Hi all, Been looking at upgrading the Legacy. I have been looking at v6 and v7 wagons, both sti and non sti. Apart from the obvious visual differences mechanically is one better then the other? Especially the non sti ones. I know the 6 speed is a good box. I\'m only looking at near factory ones with reasonable k\'s.

Hi all Do the rear seats with the dog screen thing in them out of the Legacy's after the BG5 fit into the BG5? If so does anyone in Christchurch have some they want to part with? ;D

Sweet Jesus! Thanks for that! Was so obvious I couldn't see it! ;D
