so with kid number 2 on the way i had to step up and get a more family oriented car...the hatch just doesn't work with two car seats in it....so i got me this little bad boy 05 subaru legacy gt....so far i love it and the boy just sits in the back seat and screams to go "fast"

i like how it has a turbo on it from the factory not many cars are turboed from the factory

love it four door leather heated seats.....same motor as a sti (smaller turbo,smaller intercooler, not as good of a tune) but still a 2.5 awd turbo car....so yea it's fun....it;s quicker then people think

cobz436 04-24-2009 04:38 PM

true true, nice. I had an old 87 daytona turbo, and when i got it, the suspension was shot, so it made it seem even faster!....btwn gears the nose would drop and then jump right back up, i suppose it was "quik"...i enjoyed my time with it....
what u plan after cobb?

effingturbo 04-24-2009 04:41 PM

better uppipe/downpipe, exhast, sti turbo and good tune.....just looking to be in that 325/350hp range, keeping it simple it is my get my kids around ride

cobz436 04-24-2009 04:43 PM

Car looks great but why Cobb instead of OpenECU.org and Traxis cable. alot of suby guys tell me cobbs are worthless if you lose some key and they are an expensive unit. you get full tunning ability with rom raider or openecu etc. and all you pay for is $100 to $200 usb obd2 cable that in turn can make you money tuning other subys and evo's?

effingturbo 04-25-2009 06:47 PM

haven't really checked into it to be honest....just no the dyno by my house tunes on cobbs but ---- it i'll check into others
