AJLEGACY Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Title says it all! Hi all, hope you guys had a great thanksgiving! Looking to get some help with my Subaru, but I first thought I would introduce myself a little. I am an owner of a 05 LGT 5EAT and well the car has been through a lot...I will just leave it at that. Anyways, hoping to get some great insight from y'all. Hope you have a great rest of your day and nice to meet you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylertrend Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I had an 05 OBXT 5MT for several years.. Sold it in March. They are comfortable and fun when sorted but my god mine took a lot to get there. Lots of suspension work and I had to totally rebuild my 130K mi engine shortly after I bought it because, well, it was fu^$*ed. Ran great after that but after I moved from ME it didn't make sense to keep. Tokyo Roki oil filters and Rotella T6 every 4-6k keeps them going forever. Always have cash on hand for tires too. The LGT's are a little better than the Outbacks, but still. What's your mileage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the engine August of last year, and then it took a s**t and had to replace the engine. Have to replace shocks and struts, got a oil leak which I think where its leaking from (I check the oil level everyday to make sure it is not low and have some oil on hand), needs alignment and balance but after I do the shocks and struts, transmission mount sounds shot, and going to upgrade the pitch stop mount and well last week it kept dying when I tried going into gear...P0700 & P1718. Took off the positive battery cable for 5 minutes, started up and it ran and drove, still does. CEL was on for 2 days and then it went off but stored the code. I purchased a used TCM, but was just made aware the ECM could be faulty or a loose/poor connection.
