rigos_gt,

Thanks for the info! Good to hear that ground clearance shouldn't be an issue around town.

To be honest, I don't really know about the price yet. I located the vehicle, but didn't get into the pricing aspect with the salesguy cause I still need the ok from the wife. He seemed pretty anxious to get it off the lot though. When I find out more, I'll post here or PM.

abakja1,
AP...Access Port? So the stuttering problem is a fuel mapping issue combined with a possible injector issue or the injector was a different thing?
a great investment
Anyone have problems with the ground clearance driving around?
not on stock height
Well would be nice to meet other LGT owners. I just gotta get the wife to give the "ok" as I don't want an unhappy, 6 month pregnant woman who would rather have a Honda Odyssey breathing down my neck. On the other hand, my 4 year old loves the LGT.
let's really get a meet going, seems to be alot of interest now!!
welcome aboard

I took mine into pfluger the other day, and the dealer said that the reflash for lag was for the early year '05s. Since mine was a later model, it didnt apply. They said they could do nothing about the stock battery though, since I already replaced it with a optima so there is no point arguing anything. But what to do with that crap heavy paper weight dead battery in my garage?

Wow another pending member I think that puts us at maybe 5 dunno though....

He Rigos once I got a chance to hit ya up I will. I am one step closer to buying my exhaust. I just sold one of my airsoft guns!

I'm another Oahu LGT owner also. I would be down with a meet sometime.

I have an 05 LGT AT wagon, with the stuttering issue. I took it to Airport and they reflashed the ECU but it got worse after that. My gas mileage went down and now idles rough. The servce guys were good, but I don't know if anyone knows how to fix the stuttering completely.

I was reading on the Legacy forum about grounding the TB. Wonder if that works?

I don't want to do the AP yet for the warranty. So I guess I'll just keep taking it back for now. Luckily Airport Subaru is just right down the street from my work so it easy to drop it off with them.

This weekend we can try something,..Saturday or Sunday for most? How about a Jamba/Starbuck meet at the new Moanaloa shopping center across the Hickam Golf course.

After that, Im off the the PI for a couple of weeks,..

ap wont void anything...hell they cant even detect it...ssmII and ssmIII can detect a reflash...there really isnt a way to...

unless you can somehow download the fuel tables, and compare them to stock, which im sure soa can but your local dealerships cant

Now I have to decide, I gots the money AP or exhuast? I really miss having that exhuast sound. May brake down and do axel backs and the AP, or Greddy and the AP in the future

don't be so sure about that you'll be surprised on how smart they can get when it comes to voiding stuff.
