SMG>shiftable auto though. Too bad they havent gotten cheaper yet. at least these 'sport shift' or 'shifttronic' autos are a step in the right direction.
nice car btw

2K1Civic17"Gabe 02-09-2006 07:00 PM

yeah, shiftable. Its an awesome automatic tranny. Gave me a whole new view on autos. They are quite expensive, though, especially with AWD. At least I have a 100,000 miles warranty. Anything goes wrong, they replace it. They dont rebuild trannies at SOA. Only replace.

diskreet 02-09-2006 07:04 PM

thats cool.
and the reason soa doesnt rebuild trannies might be because and awd tranny is alot more complex than a 2wd tranny. (Just a guess) Its probably cheaper to replace it then to buy parts that cost more than a whole new tranny and pay much more in labor and risk human error screwing something small up.

looks really nicee

kornsined 02-09-2006 07:36 PM

i meant the pink on the springs and the pink associated with STi stuff. sure, people call the springs "pinks", but the technical name for the color is "cherry blossom red", according to subaru.

No, i was refering to JDM pinks. The springs are somewhere around $400us.
As for the custom uppipe, have you consider Perrin or some other brand? Not too expensive and excellent quality. Perfect fitment for sure, MIGHT save you from trouble down the road. No one wants a gasket leak :)
Yea man, the Sportshift is not bad, and it actually shifts pretty quick both up and downshifts on the Tribeca.

What's the deal with the pink color associated with STi stuff? It's technically called Cherry Blossom Red. Cherry Blossoms are the national symbol as well as a symbol of spring. As well, in Japanese culture, pink is associated with masculine symbolism, which is in contrast to Western culture.

Awesome purchase, those kick ass. They have a limited edition one at the Suby dealer by me, its bad ass....they said they only made like 300 or so of them , didnt know what the difference was. It was silver, had factory 18s or 19s on it.

Legacy GT specB. awesome car, only 500 or so made (dont know the exact number), but yes it's awesome. next year it's supposed to get the STi's 6-speed manual.

Nice 2.5GT man.:tup: Those things are sleepers!

cwick187 02-12-2006 02:27 AM

Man, I knew nothing about these cars until I stopped by the local Subi dealership last week...They had a 05 with factory lip kit for $25,000 and it was sick!!!I really don't want a 4 door right now, but I'm considering one of these cars...It really impressed me with the stying and HP/Tq...Good Choice!!!

verzo70 02-12-2006 02:34 AM

i saw one of those do a 13.7 quarter mile at the dragstrip.

Stayinstock 02-13-2006 12:07 PM

Really sad story, I had been approved by Subaru to finance a silver 2.5GT from a dealership in Austin here. I had my older Accord plus a couple thousand coming from income tax.

Well, apparently, my income tax got screwed up somehow because my girlfriend filed independent and I filed her as a dependent. So I ended up getting a couple hundred back instead.

Couldn't afford the Legacy...had to settle for the Civic from the Honda dealer next door. I'm not disappointed by any means, though. My payments would've been about 50 dollars more a month for an additional year! **** that!

Kyle23 02-13-2006 12:59 PM

I love that car. Its soo sexy and its pretty fast too!

ssmtl04 02-13-2006 02:02 PM

great choice!! I was soo close to getting that car or the New TL...but i went with the TL

Yeah, 500 made. #98 is at the dealrship across the street from my house. I love having Subaru so close. When they installed my Rotora BBKm I just hopped across the street, not even 1/50th of a mile away.

I dont know who said Cherry Blossom Red. But the JDM springs ARE called "Pinks" or "Pink" and they are pink. I want the Bilstein shocks and the "Pinks" springs

Here are some new pics, BTW. I have another mod Ill post up sometime soon.
