Cool The Replacement.

Well...I said goodbye to my SVX this morning. I was feeling pretty sad and depressed. Then I got a call from the dealership that me new car was ready, and I felt a little better.

It's going to take a while to get over the SVX, but my GF still has hers, so if I feel the need, I can always drive that.

Anyway...the replacement. 2005 Legacy GT Limited 5spd. 26k miles.

Interior: I got rubber floor mats already so as not to ruin the pristine stock mats this winter.

So far I love the the car, and I feel it is an excellent replacement for the SVX.
First thing on the list is to clear those headlights! Then maybe a Cobb accessport...but I want to keep it mostly stock (for now )

Dont worry, i'll still be around here because I you guys (and gals).

Silver wasnt my first choice. I think it looks more "sporty" in other colors.

I'm coming down on the 24th for a week, but im flying, not driving.

2nd gear hates me, i swear. I can never seem to get in to it smoothly . I've never driven a stick as a daily driver, so im giving myself a week before I start getting critical on my self.

Looks good but your SVX is more pretty

What did you do with your SVX? already sold?

I thought you would get a brand new one!

Hard to get in for 2nd? Is that from 1-2? Or when from 3-2?
You could give "some"(not too much, too too little depending on your style and what you want) gas before when you're shifting into 2 either from 1 or 3, it may help.

From 1-2. Its only when im accelerating slowly (aka normally). I actually think im just shifting to fast when im accelerating that slow.

And yes, it's sold already. Member Bailey came and picked it up this morning.-

No probs from 3-2? Give some gas right before shifting into 2 next time and see... Maybe after you drive her for few days, you'll find the best timing to shift...


Congrats for your sale. Member Bailey got a pretty car.

Yeah, im sure ill get the hang of it...i mean ive only driven it 50 miles, and the last time i drove a stick for any amount of time was like 6 months ago.

No real problems from 3-2, I think im pretty good at rev matching...even if i have to come off the brake to blip it. Not quite at heal&toe level yet. 3-2 while not braking is fine.

Oh, Bailey is her network name.

Since the Impreza turbo came out, we never had anymore turbo Legacy's in €urope... Currently we have the 3.0R (automatic) & 3.0R Spec B (manuel 6 gears) who both make 245HP with a 6 cylinders boxer engine... SVX spirit?
