  6. https://new.grabone.co.nz/automotive/automotive-accessories/p/car-wheel-clamp-2 Cheap $20 each Car Wheel Clamp or Steering Wheel Lock, hopefully should put most amateurs off their menu.
  7. Today's Japanese auction, this 1998 SUBARU IMPREZA 22B STI (2,138km) was Sold for ¥15,115,000 (approx NZD$190,473.78) Appreciated 3 times of its original value!
  8. Yes you are right! After getting some motivation from you, yesterday I have installed one for my wife's next Subaru. Brought it from The Warehouse for $13, then plug and power tapping. I should have done it for my father's Forester a few weeks ago (to save him $50) but I was just plain lazy, after just spending the night installing DRL and rear parking sensors for him. =P

  10. Interesting facts, learn something new everyday! Due to these touch screen units, (sometimes with built-in front & reverse cameras & dash cam recorder), FM expanders are often the simplest and cheapest option. Plus I mostly listen to mp3 via either SD cards or USB. It is working well (clear and loud) and I think I was told it is a 14MHz, just need to do the Maths, but once the stations are preset, it is just a matter of 1, 2 ,3. After checking the "Band expander conflict frequency" from your link, I guess I am lucky that all of my favourite stations are between 92.6 -102.5 MHz =) No worries delta, it is always good to hear other people's' point of view with experience or taste. Nothing personal.

  14. After converting my father, from his Nissan Qashqai to a Forester SJ5, I took the Forester to Cooper Tyres in Howick for a 4 wheel alignment this afternoon. Dan was very friendly and helpful, speaks with his knowledgeable truth. High quality service and yet not very expensive! See what you guys think if you are over this way. 4/180 Moore St, Howick
