I hear ya....
Well, got a great deal on some parts today....so I took my first step towards a Stage 2 Power upgrade:
Cobb Down Pipe:
Magnaflow Catback Exhaust:
Need to save up a bit more to get the Cobb AP. Will run a Stage 2, 93 Octane map. Shortly after that, the COBB Tunning 724300 SF Intake & Air Box Kit 05-09 Subaru Legacy GT. That will conclude my power mods unless I need to upgrade my TMIC. Next will be brakes, suspension, wheels (I have began hating my wheels), guages, etc.

You're upgrading your legacy? Or do you have an STi?

Lol STi's are pretty sizeable actually. You're going stage 2 on a Legacy huh. That's going to be quite interesting. Keep this thread updated please, I want to know how it turns out
When I bought the Legacy, it came down to room. I had my buddies hop in the back of an STi at the dealership. Their knees where stuffed in their mouths. Had to go with the Legacy. This was, after all, a family car.
As I work though the mods, I'll start it's own thread for sure. It will be a slow long process, but it needs to be done.

Ah I see. Well it's got to meet it's needs right? Alrighty, I'll tune in once in a while 👍 Stage 2 is fun
Good Luck

Please wait and get the AP before putting these parts on. Newer turbo Subarus are fragile.
And ran another autocross on Sunday.

It always amazes me how people manage to remember the layout of those courses when just staring at a bunch of cones. That one wasn't that complicated, but some of the ones you see on you tube...wow. Nice run though Eric.

one thing ive started using is instead of a gopro i just use my Droid Razr with the car dock.... it works pretty good but i wish i could get a angle of me driving like you did with it
exactly...ive been autocrossing for 8 years and i still feel the same way that its a sea of cones every time...but some are better than others.. we have a local course that is more like a mini road course inside a fairgrounds... i still have my buddy navigate for me the first couple runs but its mostly because people just like to ride along

I did think about that.... I did, and it may come to that. I would prefer to do it all at once for the most impact, so I can really hear and feel what the entire upgrade is doing for me. I guess I am hoping for a larger grin if I wait for all the parts.
I still haven't decided, but I could get a custom e-tune and go open source for a lot cheaper than a cobb AP. Still need to do more reading and talk to a few guys about it, but that may be an option.

Helped my mate install... A CB radio and PA system on his Tacoma... Im not even sure why.
But then we were talking, and the subject of sequential shifters came up (Similar to the sort in GT cars and Rally now i suppose). Is that something you can just buy and install, or is that like a specialty modification?

Replaced the hard lines from my transmission to the tranny cooler, and dropped the transmission pan out and cleaned off the magnets (they were spotless, but I had to check) and did a refill with Nissan Matic S.

Replacing those can be a major pain in the ass on some cars.
