Massive, massive shout out to @THUNDA for the wheel deals. @94 Leone From this: To this:

Bought another one I promised me I wouldn't but... $1500 is a an argument I can't refuse for a manual 01 gtb This one gets single churbroed

this weekend with @Dairusire and @Furze .. thats one hell of a driveway!

It's got WR Blue on the body work in the first photo, 2 pot rears, and an R180 rear diff... So it's gotta be a WRX STi Type RA or Type R Version 5 or 6 haha.

Old: 3 Bullock Track, Grey Lynn New:

Sounds like my ex

haha its your car do what you want I'd argue the fresh driveline etc improves the desirability of the car, purists can get lost.

Haha so close bro Thank you bro - I've been looking for 10 years and this is the first one I've seen for sale in 10 years. I wanted the GC8G (V6) one.

All Dyno Torque dyno's put out an odd torque figure on the plots. Been mentioned a few times. Need to convert it to a real figure based on the power and rpm at peak torque. Looks to be at 4750rpm and 170kw so comes out to 341nm

@newsuba More nice brown cars (This is a mates RX7 for sale if anyone's interested, nelson)

Well, replaced plugs on the sti. They had an off brand I've never heard of instead of NGKs so I'm happy I got that squared away. Also got my tactrix cable, wideband, 3 port boost solenoid and egt gauge so hopefully I can knock out some tuning this week.

*Colours newsuba brown* That is the colour of an 'old fart' isn't it?

This is why I can never own a "nice" car, my '01 STI is, upon somewhat close inspection, covered in little dings and garks and scratches. Once I learned to embrace them it made the car oddly way more practical

i was sent this image this morning by an auckland member... SPOTTED!

Thoroughly good experience. I've a 2006 Legacy 3.0R which I booked in via their website for transmission service and brake system flush. Contact was responded to on the same day and job was booked. Arrived this morning at opening time. Was attended to promptly by the knowledgeable lady at the front desk - indicated I was happy to wait for work to be conducted (no choice really as I work a fair distance away). This wasn't a problem, was offered power point for laptop and coffee. I was picked up by a friend and left the site for a while. The mechanic phoned me to inform me that my brake pads had been incorrectly fitted - he'd taken photos which he showed me when I returned. Satisfied with the work undertaken which matched the quoted price. Other vehicle deficiencies were also pointed out. Invoice was very detailed as to the work done and the method used to do it. It was definitely worth the drive out there and I am happy in the knowledge that this garage knows what their doing and offers great customer at the same time. They've just secured a new customer.

Whos' do what & where? I'm planning on heading up Friday 21st with no particular plans for where or when anyone got a place to pop a Tent? the Amazing race thingy kicks off 11:30 am from Taupo "Wharf" Redoubt Street so kinda keen to get comfy the night before & perhaps have a catchup & reminice about Mega Meets gone by, (bring your MM dvd?s jared

@lowandy owns it now. Would be excellent on the track if he did go.

I was lucky enough to grow up working on my neighbors one. I fell in love with it. There weren't very many V6's produced in year 2000 from what I understand. I'm also of the understanding the the V-LTD was the very last run of V6's in year 2000 too meaning they were the very last of the GC8 shape produced - happy to be corrected here.

@banky took my RA legacy, one of 400 and highly modified it - that is a precious car, or was.

This quote kinda makes me feel bad about what I've done to my STi Type RA Limited (v5) since it's 1 of 1000 hahaha.

wow, one of 2000, special car you've got there man

awwww guuuuuumon!

STi RA Limited?

Close - but even better....

Shiiiiet, you got to it before I did. Was about to post photos hoping you didn't but you had. Bugger!!

Das not right....

Interesting seeing some of the 300kW + dyno charts, with torque in the 500Nm, can anyone explain in amo terms as to how my RS pulled 187kW but torque over 700Nm ? Model: 92 RS EJ20G - 187kW ATW Displacement: 2L Mods: TD05 16g?, Yellows, FMIC, EWG, HKS Downpipe to Zerosports exhaust, Big Fuel pump, V3 Wasted spark setup, Link G4+ Fuel: BP 98 Tuner/dyno: PBMS bb img

hahahahaha that's a car crime

ewwwwwwww brown

I don't live in auckland anymore but I do know the area the current one is, You just have to spend some time getting lost along the streets in different 'burbs man. keep driving til you find your way out- only when you are completely lost revert back to google maps.

Man, I wish I knew where these all were...

Oh I know where that is! @Furze and I shall get tonight!

that looks great. it was always puzzling why they never made a v8 sti hatch/wagon

Cheap front lip fitted

Didn't realise the JDM spec Legacy GT was different... I had a NZ new 2010 Spec.B tuned with ECUTek and a straight pipe catback. 290hp 470nm after tune if you were curious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You missed a spot

Top drawer service again from H.A. Car went in today to replace the oil cooler and valve cover gaskets that were indicated as leaking on previous visit. Figured may as well replace the spark plugs at the same time. Was informed that upon inspection it was found that they still had plenty of life in them and that there was no need to change them. Great to see that honest mechanics still exist.

Got my muffler silencer jammed in and couldn't remove it. Made up this Ghetto set up to "gently tap" it out.

Bought a baffled sump, drove her a bit, damn i'm enjoying the drive now, all the work i've done is paying dividends in the handling.

Discovered that JDM HKS charge pipe will not bloody fit NZDM Legacy Reason: JDM have electronic power steering, NZ/AU/EU/USDM have hydraulic power steering and consequently an extra pulley that get's in a way.

Not real dont care

I just need a standard 10k service done on my turbo outback. Only just moved back to Hamilton so I'm a bit unsure of where to take, plus I'm aware that one of them screwed up some work on my old ladies legacy (several times).
