Replying to: rangner (Aug 06, 2006 5:36 pm) That would only apply when doing a caliper rebuild, in a normal brake service it would only be necessary to grease the sliders.     Cheers Pat.

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 07, 2006 12:59 pm) You need a long extension to remove the rear calipers on the legacy, they are not the easiest to service.  As for greasing the sliders you appear to have gotten it right juice, however your brake fluid is past due to be replaced. Every 2 years or 24K is the recommened interval I believe.     Cheers Pat. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Aug 21, 2006 11:13 am)

Replying to: hondafriek (Aug 11, 2006 2:18 pm) My dad services his car at the dealer, Fitzgerald. Not sure if they've bled the brakes before or not.   Time to do the wife's Legacy, though.   -juice
#5285 of 5330 Reading lamps for OB? by bat1161 Sep 05, 2006 (9:35 am)
I'm curious about peoples take on the Rear reading lamps that are available for the 06 OBWagon as an add-on. I saw that Subaru is now offering them as an accessory for the Wagon that has the moonroof. My question is: Has anyone doen this yet? If so, how does it look?   I don't normally have back seat passengers, but I have had one or two complaints of not neing able to see at night.   BTW, my dealer quoted me $107 for the pair installed.   Thanks, Mark Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 05, 2006 10:39 am) bat1161 (Sep 06, 2006 5:55 am) ateixeira (Sep 06, 2006 7:02 am)

Replying to: bat1161 (Sep 05, 2006 9:35 am) Do you have Subaru Bucks? That's what I'd use for something like that. It's electrical, let them mess with it, if any problems creep up you're covered.   -juice Replies to this message: bat1161 (Sep 06, 2006 5:55 am) ateixeira (Sep 06, 2006 7:02 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 05, 2006 10:39 am) Actually I have a few Subaru bucks that will be expiring next year. That's what made me think of it! I was even toying with the thought of adding the subwoofer. Only thing with that is I was quoted $344 installed. I thought that may be a little high and debated getting it through my dealer.   Mark Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 06, 2006 7:02 am)

Replying to: bat1161 (Sep 06, 2006 5:55 am) Get the parts and install them yourself. I bet it's half as much or less.   Get extra oil filters with the remaining Subaru Bucks, that's what I did with my last on-line order of accessories.   -juice
#5289 of 5330 Recent mods by goneskiian Oct 31, 2006 (3:35 pm)
Howdy all! Been too long since checking in here. Hope everyone's doing well.   I've done too very simple mods to my '05 GT Wagon recently. The first was the JDM/EDM armrest extension/extra storage cubby. The instructions where in Japanese (where were you Ken?! ) but had great pictures so it was an easy 20 minutes of operating a screwdriver.   The second was a little more involved. I've been wanting to check out the STi STS so I bought one online locally using subie bucks. Then I got a couple install quotes. $350 at the dealership!!??!! I guess that should be STealership. Also $150 at a local shop. OUCH!   Anyway, I research further on the LGT.com site and found that the difference between the stock shifter and the STi STS is only the main shifting rod (sorry if the terminology is incorrect), basically the rod you screw the shift nob on to and move back and forth when shifting. Meaning the extra couple rods of metal attached to the STi STS are the same as what's there already. So I followed the fantastic instructions someone posted in a "Walk through" on the lgt.com site for the Kartboy shifter and it took me about 45 minutes.   Definitely feels shorter and crisper. Also a little bit "notchier". Not sure it's that great just yet but am getting used to it.   Next I'd like to add an aux input for my iPod and the Spec. B steering wheel controls. Both are a little out of my comfort zone though as they involve electricity and wires. Not something I'm familiar with (none of that stuff on my bicycles!!! ).   Cheers! -Ian Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 01, 2006 7:23 am)
