It's not on the road yet, as going for MOT tomorrow then I have to wait for the DVLA to register it.

I'm coming directly from a BH5 Legacy twin turbo, but have owned a number of Subaru's over the years (see below)

Bringing up this old thread, as we have a Levorg as our family runaround.

After a messy puncture and goo incident, I decided to store the styrofoam and get a proper spare wheel.

 

What wheel should work for the 225/45/18? I see an ET55 7.5 + spigot above in Trawlerman's note, but is there anything else I need to look for? Are the 5x114.3 dimensions that important?

I saw this complete Mazda wheel with a tyre. Do you think it will work as a spare?

It has to be 5x114.3 stud pattern or it won't fit. You'll need to check the centre bore and offset - standard levorg numbers are 56.1 centre bore and 55 offset

She has finally arrived from Singapore now 😎

2.0 GT-S with 48,500kms on the clock

Sold now - hope you had a great journey home!

Welcome - nice motor

I've taken all of my cars to them for years. Chris, Paul and Scott - you couldn't wish for better people to look after your cars.

My soon to arrive Levorg will be going there next month

At a guess, if he wants a Foz sti he won't be looking for an auto

I am currently looking into this for my Levorg. The service book states a transmission fluid change at 40k and 80k but I am assuming it's never been done (now on 82k).

 

I have got a price from a couple of dealers and for the CVT fluid alone it is £420 as you have to buy a 20L drum of the stuff!

I got an email reply from one dealer quoting £667 for the change and I spoke to another on the phone who said it is not a service they do very often (I guess they have maybe never done it). I don't understand why it is not a common thing if my service book lists those replacement intervals!

 

I would do it myself but having to buy a £420 drum of the stuff is really putting me off. Anyone in NE Scotland want to go halfers?!

how much fluid does it actually take - do we know?

As I've just bought a Levorg, I will be selling my black BH5 Legacy wagon in the next 2 months. Imported by me in 2019 and currently has 153k kms on the clock. Mainiatined regardless of cost and at the last service in Oct-24 it had a brande new 4-pot brake upgrade on the front, new discs and pads all round, and the timing belt and water pump done (this has also been done at 49k kms and 99k kms).

It does need some replacement coolant hoses and brake flexi's, a fuel leak in the engine bay fixing, drop links and ARB bushes. It also has some marks on the bodywork, the worst of which is a scratch down most of the passenger side and a scuff on the OSR bumper corner. A good fixer-upper for the keen DIY enthusiast.

Goodies on the car include a stainless steel Powerflow exhaust and sports cat, mated to an STI Genome back box and an STI Genome engine strut brace. The original alloys have also recently been powder coated in orange at The Wheel Specialist.

I'll be letting it go for a good price, given the bits and pieces that need doing to it. so please let me know if you are interested. 

Thanks

Not an owner myself, but I have just bought a FA20 2.0 Levorg GT-S and have no concerns over the CVT gearbox. It just needs an oil change every 50k kms and all should be good

Ah @Mr B you are still here too 🙂

I've never really gone away, as had a Subaru on the drive since 2014 but......

Just pulled the trigger to import this to the UK - its the 2.0 GT-S with 300 ponies 😎

Very nice!

When I import my CS, one of the first things I will be changing is the radiator. Both have failed on the 2 imports I have brought in to date, so going to get ahead of the game this time. Not a massive cost for the benefit and peace of mind it brings.

I've heard that the Meister R coilovers are as good as they get

Welcome! Looks lovely

I'm in the market for a CS now too, having just sold my JDM STi Impreza - am sourcing direct from Japan, so have to find the right car first, then win it at auction. Exciting looking though!

Can you all stop reporting it please...my email is going to explode [emoji23]

@Flotsam if you are still around the forum, how did you find owning this - did it have the 'subaru burble' or was it twinscroll?

Strut brace fitted today....exhaust going on on Wednesday

BH5 radiator gave up on me today - flatbed to my trusted garage, where it awaits replacement from ICP

yes it is, I am about to mapp mine next week ..... can't wait 😁

How did that turn out?

First clean last weekend - clayed all over, then bonnet compounded, polished and waxed. Hoping to get the rest done tomorrow 😃

Hoping to get a quote for the rear bumper and scoop to get re-painted too.

Collected this gem from the port on Friday to add to my JDM stable....

Now sitting at my garage of choice where the following is getting done over Monday and Tuesday:

• Undersealed
• Fog light into rear cluster
• Oil and filter change
• Air filter change
• Cambelt, water pump, thermostat and aux belts all changed
• Spark plugs changed
• New brake discs and pads all round
• Pre-MOT check
• MOT

Then home to wait for the DVLA to do their thang 😎
