This might be useful and I figured best to get it online before I go and accidentally wipe it https://ufile.io/9547e <-- ECU definition for ECUflash. I've forgotten the ins and outs of it, but you need to replace what it tries to open the legacy stock rom with, with this https://ufile.io/caf54 <-- The last tune I loaded onto my wagon, some emphasis on off-throttle pops and bangs with this one. It's pretty aggressive and my car had FMIC, 2.5" downpipes and silicone intake pipe - your mileage may vary as those things do make a marked difference to how much it wants to grenade. That said - it still runs less timing on boost than the stock rom does https://ufile.io/90b75 <-- A pretty safe tune for 95% of the cars out there, loading this on will result in the VOD being effectively gone, ping gone on gull or BP 98, and vastly improved mileage. I think it's pretty safe on 95 as well from memory but please see above I've got a dozen other variations if anyone wants them, still have stock flashes off auto and manual GTB's and I think I have an S204 (202? whatever the sti B4 is) rom renamed something stupid which was not really any great improvement other than more revs and boost bro I sold reflashed ECU's to a few in various states of modification who all came back with glowing feedback, it is a legit "best bang for the buck" thing you can do to these cars Also I'm not dead, this is just the first time I've been on my car-S*** laptop for several months (ha) - currently driving a POS cedia turbo while saving for something worthwhile

LOL he has to have his car going again the week before Easter so he should be good to go for megameet.

or if Josh still comes on here aka @CroweSport he might be able to fill you in a little bit more this guy also had a wing & lip from the same 'edition' car or this guy did a writeup on his car over on http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=39658 and the story goes

vented rotors - where the internal is not solid - are good ! they dissipate heat much better than a solid rotor. they will be factory fitted on your legacy. slotted rotors - which have slots cut into the surface - are of dubious benefit. as rotors are an expendable, there really is no need to buy all the flash brand name stuff. pop into your local repco or bnt and get some twr (or other reputable brand) oem replacements. add good pads and good fluid and you should have enough stopping power for road driving.

Best thing you can do is put your car through a wof before you leave home, the standard for going on track is "A car up to WOF standard" thats not to say theyre going to put your vehicle through the same testing as VTNZ, but you get the idea... I always did the following on a car before i put it on track... Checked tyre pressure, checked alignment changed coolant, and replaced any old hoses. changed oil and filter (dont forget sump plug seal/washer) changed fuel filter changed air filter changed brake fluid, checked pads and rotors. checked all wheel nuts removed anything loose or rattling removed sub and spare wheel (optional unless not fastened securely) And i always took a full tool kit and any spares i had floating around. always had a new pack of cable ties, and a few hose clamps on hand. it was pretty common back then to arrive with a full fuel tank and bring 1 or 2 20L containers of fuel as well... depending on how much tracktime you were expecting to have.

Found an onboard with @RAYDEO himself

Thought this was pretty cool BP Legacy around the track, gave me inspiration for my own one, but looks like a lot of work put into it! Really cool though

where's all the people @Tony "Won" superlap in a Evo with a pretty quick lap

^^ form is there on the link in OP

Not really turbo related but still a good watch

Yeah, I got a quote for a dry sump, and decided that a baffled sump is far more prudent for the wallet in the short term! I'm keen to run "Hamster Downs" with you guys once my car gets out onto the road.

Oh, sure ! I thought that you were talking about slotted rotors, my bad. Agreed with newsuba, the benefit is dubious or maybe there is one for very specific applications. Totally forgot that non vented rotors even existed, all my last cars had vented rotors

@A_J_T @Kiwi_Fozze this sounds like what i need

This was the final result. It's ugly, but it does the job. ( Like my high school girlfriend ) Lucky it can't be seen from the top with the heat shield and intercooler in the way.

Didn't mean slotted or cross drilled As @newsuba has pointed out

Thanks Joker. A mate just bought one, were going to pick it up in the weekend, needs a bit of work but will be a good resto project.

Unless I'm 100% sure that it can be done in Auckland, I would rather pay for disposal than taking the risk. Poor mother nature if the sewerage systems are not designed for that

I've been told when I looked into it, to pour it down the toilet, some town/city sewerage systems are designed to handle it.

Could be an idea. I might ask Subtech what they do with used coolant and see what they come up with.

Quite possibly. In fact I am sure I have seen it by One Tree Hill It was a pre-facelift

Lol just thought I'd share this I priced up the Knuckle joint for the gear shifter on my new 1996 Legacy GT Project car on PartSouq and at Nelson Subaru, PartSouq is charging $38.96NZD and Nelson Subaru is charging $146+GST for the same joint! How in the hell can they charge this??

If you want the best Subaru wheel alignment in Wellington, go see Macbilt in Grenada North.

#boxslayer strikes again haha

so is the track day going to be run by Playday like a playday? Passengers allowed (in fully caged car, seat, harness blah blah??) Considering coming down and doing some testing/take some people for a ride/chase @Fastfour assuming the cars still running after the weekend before at Taupo

You talkin bowt my lawn or my lawn bruh? @evowrxwifey does the lawn/garden round here.

If it wasn't done recently, I would also : change transmission oil/fluid change differentials oil (both front and rear if you have an auto) bonus : change the steering assist fluid as the system is known to fail/leak easily on some subarus When I buy a used car with no or poor service history I change all the fluids even if I don't track it ... you never know how old they are.

You know know in their unicorn circut videos they do my town and my crap car. Im pretty keen to film and edit something in thet style at megameet. Anyone keen to feature?

Lets do this!

Had some good rain the other day

someone in club whose good at videos and stuff should make a shoutout video at megameet chuck it up on social medias, tag them on Youtube/FB. wont guarantee them coming but guaranteed to get their attention. this is NZs biggest subaru car club so collectively our opinion must mean something rtight

Or invest in a baffled sump if you're running very sticky tyres... the killer is the long sweeping corners where the oil pick up gets starved otherwise just drive slow

Will definitely see what state can do. They paid out sum insured within days in my claim and we're sweet with the sum insured on the new wagon. I'm guessing that technically you would need to advise them on any thing that's not stock from factory. What about ecu changes or things that are not so obvious.
