hahaha yeah sucks been down here in Gisborne, trying to find car people to join up with and AKL is a bit for for the night meets.
We got some straight Drone-pipes Miata's here who also think they are V8's
Yeah, having had my 3rd Gen Legacy with the EZ30, I was quite happy as the balance of performance, handling, comfort and ability to cruise.
Was just a good all rounder.
@1randomkiwi I really like my 3L, If I get a GT I would be swapping my wife's 2.0i for a GT and giving her my 3L. Partly because 3L chugs gas in my stop-start commute and partly because I like boost:) 3L is super smooth on the open road.
@gotasuby so the AT has a different (more aggressive?) map to the MT? There is a generic issue with running JDM cars on NZ fuel right? Are you saying it's worse with MT?
Or is there just a sample bias here in that most JDM imports are AT?
Apologies for the 20 questions, haha, considering buying an AT GT so this is very relevant:)

@Tony
Know of a few in the last few months that have had issues, think killervq30de just had a downpipe/exhaust on his from memory
Have yet to hear of any manuals that have had these issues at such low power levels.
Hmm, that's interesting given I'm considering getting an auto GT! When you say super basic mods what are you referring too? Weird that it can't be tuned out and that it differs between AT and MT.
Check all wiring connections back to the ecu. Make sure they're all clean and dry. Check for water in the fuel tank and rails. Check the injectors while you're there too. Try a reset on the ecu in case it's learned some bad data.
