  1. Oh boy have I got a deal for you. Have you heard of the SuperCooler? If if you call now, we’ll throw in a free exhaust Venturi!! but wait there’s more! With lots of extensive testing on a virtually stock legacy being thrown around Puke, we definitely know this is worth it!!1one!1 Yours for only 10 easy payments of $99.99 as well as your liver and first born! Call now! (If you don’t understand your too young in CS time) In the past people have run the WTAC pump from the RS with a seperate header tank for the turbo and have dropped 10 degrees on the track, pretty sure it was Funky/Sl8r that did it years ago.

  4. I mounted a 1KG dry powder fire extinguisher in the Legacy a few weeks back. Thought I'd make a thread with some pic's, details and info. Initially installing a daily driver single strap extinguisher that was a gift, then changing to a double metal strap holder with uprated bolts suitable for track use. I've broken this thread into two sections:   Fire Extinguisher Install - Part 1 - Daily Driver Fire Extinguisher Install - Part 2 - Track Use   Part 1 - Daily Driver Extinguisher Install   I stopped in at a local engineering workshop and brought a 500mm length of alloy flat bar, 25x4.5mm for $4.50:   Planning to mount the extinguisher to a bracket fitted between the front passenger seat rails, I've bent the alloy bar for a good fit using the corner of a workbench and a G-clamp:   Bent bar dimensions:   I sat the new bracket in place and marked the bolt hole centres:   Then centre punched to stop the drill wandering when starting drilling:   First drilled to 6mm:   Then drilled to 10mm:   I've trimmed the brackets inside lower corner to stop it digging into the carpet:   Bracket trail fit:   After working out exactly where I wanted the extinguisher to sit:   I've marked the extinguisher mount bolt holes onto the new bracket:   Then after centre punching again, drilled two 6mm holes:   Extinguisher mount then bolted to the new bracket, using 12mm long M6 gutter/panel bolts:     I unbolted the mount again, scratched the alloy plate up with sandpaper and then primed it:   Then a few coats of black enamel:   New daily driver fire extinguisher mounting bracket installed:   Extinguisher in:   Seat adjustment still working as normal:     Part 2 - Track/Club Sport Extinguisher Install   Wanting the extinguisher install to be suitable for club sport/track use I've checked vehicle handheld extinguisher requirements:   Motor Sport New Zealand - Appendix 2/Schedule A - Fire Extinguishers: http://www.motorsport.org.nz/content/appendix-two-schedule-0   CAMS - Confederation of Australian Motor Sport - Schedule H - Fire Extinguishers: http://www.cams.com.au/motor-sport/regulations/cams-manual/general-requirements   But you can also check in with your local event organiser: http://www.christchurchtrackdays.com/event-schedule/vehicle-requirements/   I stopped into Butler Auto Mart and brought a 1KG Chubb dry powder extinguisher with a twin metal strap bracket for $40, much smaller than the Orca 1KG original. Here's a very similar option from Mitre10 Mega, a Quell 1KG dry powder with twin metal straps (CAMS approved) for $35: https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/quell-1kg-fire-extinguisher-1kg-red-cylinder-and-white-powder/p/223125   I then went to Blacks Fasteners and got a selection of (minimum ISO 8.8) M6 16mm bolts, washers and nyloc nuts. For a grand total of $2.00. The two bigger washers are panel washers, used when fitting an extinguisher to a body panel:   I removed the daily driver/single strap extinguisher mount, then positioned and marked the new twin strap bracket bolt holes: Only needing to drill one new 6mm hole:   After drilling, then sanding and touching up the black paint. The new extinguisher mount was bolted to the seat rail bracket using the ISO 8.8 M6 bolts, washers and nyloc nuts: New twin strap extinguisher mounting bracket bolted to the seat rails:   New 1KG fire extinguisher installed and ready for event scrutineering: Seat adjusting lever unobstructed:

  6. That was with cobra pump not the nasty plastic thing. Only thing that that I don’t like is that if they leak into the intake it’s pretty much a horror story for the motor. I cant see how they can heat soak. Water is something like 25x more efficient at conducting heat. As long as you don’t over speed the water flow it should draw heat extremely well, plus since the cooler is out front and you’d have to heat all the water before it loses efficiency

  7. 😁 single flat bar wouldn't work in my froggy car, the seatbolt arrangement is very different. bolts were a decent size but i've lost the torx key so the bracket is there for good 😂

  9. Bunnings has them cheap too, and have stores everywhere. stores can have more options https://www.bunnings.co.nz/search/products?q=fire extinguisher 2.5L dual strap $63 https://www.bunnings.co.nz/family-shield-2-5kg-fire-extinguisher_p00183790 i put a wire (like baby #8 fencing wire) between the two release catches so even if you pull one they both pop open. Makes it easier to open and don’t have to stretch as far. remember in older cars without a cage that the firewall comes into the footwell in a crash so ideally remove them for road use or your passenger may be worse off. For a a race car the plumb in kits are now pretty cheap.

  10. Can do, but it's a bit hit or miss compared to coilovers where you can get it just how you like it

  12. Package arrived this morning from Sobanoodle, brought some Cusco braces that he had fitted to his old BR9 legacy. Managed to install the rear brace front one for another day. That combined with the whiteline sway bar will keep the back end nice and tight.

  13. @newsuba that’s way to pretty. All I have is a single bar with a few bends s it clear the nuts from the bracket. I also wrapped wire around the bar and bracket as the bolts are so tiny.
