Good bye Legacy ;-((


Recommended Posts

This happened on Tuesday.

Thanks to my retard neighbour playing chicken with an on-coming car I'm now down 1 formerly mint condition Legacy GT.  Pretty gutted, just waiting for the official confirmation from insurance that it's a write-off ( they told me via chat they were processing it as a write off). 

I have to thank my other neighbours who came out after hearing the smash and told me who did it because the snake drove off and hid his car in his garage.  And really, I'm thankful that we weren't loading kids into the car when it happened - that's a scary thought.

Sad to say, that will be my last Soobie.  There's nothing in their current or recent range that's even remotely desirable.  If the Levorg was available in manual I'd be looking.  I want a wagon so the WRX is out but it's well off the pace these days vs the current crop of hot hatches.  Is even worse here in Aus - there's not a big market of jap imports to consider.  And did I say I want a manual? (cue laughter and derision!)  Sorry, I'm old-school - and yes, first world problem.  Anyway, best bet for a late model manual would be an Octavia RS.  Hmmm or maybe just embrace the inner bogan and buy a V8 commie wagon...

I30N would be pretty cool. One thing bugs me tho - it’s a +1500kg car... what the...?  Performance would be even better if they cut some pork out of that body. For context I had the Legacy over a weighstation with all our family crap in it and it clocked in at 1540kg.

Anyway no i30N for me - the Leggy was a write-off and I’ve now got a 2014 Audi A4 B8 Quattro S-Line in the driveway. 2.0L turbo, 165kw. Somewhat less power than I’m used too, and a DSG auto but otherwise a nice car. To keep the Clubsub masses happy, the Legacy is a better driver’s car for sure.  Less isolated from the action, better steering feel. And that sweet 6 speed manual. But... time to get over it and move on!

Now, the old car will go out as a ‘repairable writeoff’. It can’t be repaired and re-rego’ed in NSW but it can in some other States. Not sure if rules have changed but it could also end up back in NZ.... watch out on TM!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
