Re: '96 SVX L AWD - Des Moines Iowa
Nice Legacy, BTW... I have it's Garnet Red Pearl sister.
The novelty of the SVX hasn't worn off yet, so the Legacy is getting some rest after 3 years of commuting.  Unfortunately she needs some new dampers, and has a boost pressure leak to track down. I think maybe the plastic/metal intercooler is leaking under positive pressure... but not sure.

Re: '96 SVX L AWD - Des Moines Iowa
Yeah, after coming from a bright red SVX with bright gold wheels, to a silver legacy...I kinda miss the attention some times. Except when the attention is coming from cops. Actually...I had WAY more trouble with cops in my white SVX then the red one...weird.
Haven't done anything to the Legacy besides clearing the head lights, tints, and tail light covers/tints.

Re: '96 SVX L AWD - Des Moines Iowa
I get pulled over for the tinted windows on my Legacy... it is annoying. It is about 16% VLT for the whole car, except the clear windshield.
My SVX has clear windows... and it can get to be a greenhouse in there, with the radiant energy coming through those big side windows. Makes me hesitate pulling the tint off the driver and passenger windows on the Legacy... I eventually want to tint the SVX, too, but don't want to pay the government every time they see it, and cha-ching in their eyes. I bought my Legacy used, it already had an accessPort, Cobb shifter, whiteline springs, cleared/blacked-out housing headlights, and two sets of wheels, I put a different cat-back on it, different summer wheels, and some new Hawk brake pads. The very-low whiteline springs have finally pounded the stock dampers into submission... so I think I am going to try to go to Spec B bilsteins, and Ion springs that aren't so low, nor so harsh. Have you participated over at LegacyGT.com? I do, but anymore mostly just in the Subaru news and rumors section, but maybe we've talked over there at some point... (my handle over there is IwannaSportSedan, which started before I bought the Legacy...)

Re: '96 SVX L AWD - Des Moines Iowa
Well, I'm back in Texas now, so my tints are legal (20% all around). Not gonna be able to spend any money on the car in any kind of forseeable future, but it's pretty good stock.
 I have been over on lgt.com, but quickly got bored since I have no money to spend, lol.
