Took the car to get tuned on Friday, 160KW ATW, tuner said he expected way more, but a better intercooler may help. It also started to develop a tick in one of the heads. Took it home, and checked it out on Saturday morning and found one of the cam carriers had come loose, and the other had snapped bolts.... I swear I tightened them to factory spec. Fixed that, but it still had a tick, now suspecting it may have dropped a shim. Instead of risking it for the hill climb on Sunday, we decided to pull the engine and swap in a spare for Sunday. Finished that at 2AM and then had to be up by 6 to go to the hill climb. Ran the hill climb, spare engine wasn't too happy but dealt with it surprisingly! Will pull the top end apart tonight or tomorrow and find out what's going on with the new engine...

Never been a fan of 18" on the gc/gf chassis. A 45/17 Looks so much nicer and is more forgiving...

Issues, the early legacys are renowned for destroying turbos. Even if they are well serviced. They are just as highly strung, given they are still a 280 (ish) hp turbocharged Japanese performance tourer, and yes definately 98 only. People seem to think that Japanese cars will run nicely over here, fact of the matter is anything that is considered premium, luxury or any sort of special model (so like, 95% of all Japanese imports) are tuned to run on 100 octaine fuel, so running em here on 98 is less than ideal. However. They are retunable, and if you replace the turbo for one from a facelift legacy (vf44/vf45) remove all the oil feed banjo filters and a Gentle retune, you can have one very rapid, reliable and 95 friendly car. Out of the box, they can be touchy. But its easily remedied

thought tyres were supposed to protect the rims not the other way round.

Less red more black / v7 wheel in gold

will probably spend all day tracking down free streams post links here of anyone finds good quality ones

Haha - totally not OK according to LVVTA!

For that sort of money I'd rather buy a cheap second hand td05 16g and pay someone to build it with better wheels/modify the front cover. At least you'd know it was mint and good to go. Or buy an sti turbo that is known to be good condition, bit of a lottery nowadays. example http://www.ebay.com/itm/Turbo-Upgrade-Cover-kit-SUBARU-TD05-TD06-w-GT-60-1-wheel-adjustable-actuator-/272231937284?hash=item3f6249b504:m:m2mnQJ5Rvk8UvrnhA7QoiFQ&vxp=mtr

215s on 9.5 inches! You must not have any potholes around! Cool colour though.

oh, pretty close tho haha. Speaking of meets. We are pretty bad at regular ones but we should do short notice meets so one friday or something we just make a post and say anyone keen to do a carpark meet tonight, even if it was only a couple of people, just have a chat even if its just to say sup and take a look at each others cars its pretty fun. idk just my thoughts.

MAKE SUBARU'S GREAT AGAIN

Oh dam. Come on people. Wife's outback has the CVT as only option and it's her car. I must say after driving a few CVT rental cars Subaru definitely has the best one with its chain type so it doesn't go like a bloody rubber band and changes better but still. If you buying a WRX why would you do that. Get the levorg as that more a touring option. Lazy people just don't use their left foot

Here's my WRX a month ago, when the sun was still visiting:
