I never even considered the Premium. The Limited was only $2k more and only weighs 10lbs more.

I've always been curious what the weight difference is between my base lgt and an lgt limited since they have a moon roof and a lot more crap. Anyone know?

A tune helps out big time. I like my OFT, but if you ever want to run E85 (the OFT can but it's a bigger pain), go with a Moto-East or Delicious Tuning E85 kit and EcuTek tune.

This car is really disappointing me. I have a track day with Ari on March 21st and I will run the BRZ there. If it doesn't win me over, I really think I will sell it.

What year / model do you have? Subaru has a recall for this but it doesn't extend to 2004s (i had a 2004 at the time), and the dealerships were no help but I called SOA and they eventually good willed the repair. Had this fixed under the recall for free, since it's the exact same problem but the dealer was refusing to acknowledge it. You might be able to get SOA to help you, but first you have to get a dealership to confirm the fuel leak. This was just in 2013 too, so way out of the warranty period.
So yeah, I will prolly pull stuff apart in the summer and make fix.

so yesterday i started my car and i did not have my LCD display, radio, or heater controls.
halfway home, freezing in 15°F weather, i heard my key ring jingle and then a click and they all came back to life.
think something was up in my ign. switch? like it didnt come back to the ON position?

newest oddness was I drove to the store the other day and my clutch pedal felt odd, like it had air in the line or something. like i could feel resistance on my foot, like a vibration or binding spring, if that makes sense.
i pulled over, stopped the car. tried the pedal without the engine running, it felt fine again, started it back up and it was normal again.

yup nursing it along until it's warmer out--i have the replacement sitting around.
it really only slips if i give it gas in 4th or 5th and hit 3K, so i try not to do that.

So I had to valet my car this weekend. When I got it back, the whole inside REEKED of burned clutch.
I hate cities. I honestly can't imagine what they did to make the car smell that bad of clutch unless they were trying to do a burnout in a dead-cold AWD station wagon. If you're just bad at it, you should still not create that much stink! It took 10 minutes for the clutch to even start acting right again, and probably 20 minutes of driving with the sunroof open and my window cracked before the smell went away.

picked this bad boy up yesterday
http://www.iagperformance.com/Blouch...-lgt-440xt.htm
With the HPD turbine wheel and 10cm hotside.
Why? Because when installed, it looks bone stock

Non sequitor but has anyone used a gen2 LGT scoop on an NA/NB as a vent? I looked in the DIYAero thread and searched Legacy Duct and looked through the old hood vent thread from '08 and didn't find anything... maybe outdated pics and broken links.
I know there are some common options these days, namely the mini scooper, the pass's louvers, FM louvers and GT500 louvers but like the LGT scoop more because it rides flush with the hood rather than protrudes.
I know nothing about aerodynamics but it seems with full ducting pre-and-post rad/intercooler that a smaller outlet such as the LGT outlet will fit the meredith effect well?
Just looking for pics to see if looks awesome and if it has worked for anyone for successful cooling. Plus, used ones on the bay are less than the aforementioned options.
