You're not wrong 🥺. I think they're cool but a better investment as you say would be a GC8. I think the S401 & S402 are a niche product.

Fair enough, each to their own.

I came across 2 cars online a couple days ago and was surprised at the prices. Both the S401 and the S402 have very similar k's and are near enough nz$28k all up. I'm tempted to pull the trigger on one but not sure which will appreciate more? I've seen some S401's go for pretty good money, nothing like Nissan GTR's but still good. What do you all think.

You can use whatever oil you like but if your car is burning oil it won’t make a single bit of a difference.

A mate is looking at buying an '06 on Legacy and wants to know which models have the twin scroll turbo, and if you can find out just by looking? Is there a model number that's easy to find? Cheers guys.

I'm liking the ideas, thanks guys

Fair enough, didn't think of that, probably because I have no idea where the fuel pump is?

Curious to know if it's possible to siphon petrol from my tank? I haven't tried and really don't want to be outside in the dark working it out on my own, lol. Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna see if I can find someone to help, (hold my hand) Lol

So I finally found out where the loud clunk is coming from on our car. It's particularly bad when I put the car in reverse by the way. I got under it today at work and discovered the rear diff mounts/bushes are stuffed. Anyone ever had these replaced and if so what was the cost? Had anyone changed them on their own and how difficult is it too do? Cheers.

I had the same thought about the hoses so I took everything off again and refitted the intercooler bring careful to make sure the hoses etc are tight. Took it for a drive, same problem!! I had a look in the foot well of the car and can't see the green and black plugs, do you need to be a midget Chinese contortionist to be able to get in there and find them?

The car drives fine so long as I don't give it the beans and get the second turbo involved, lol. It idles fine and feels no different to how it did before that knock sensor started freaking out. There's no real noise but say I'm doing 80kph and plant it, the car revs, boosts like normal and then just when you expect it to lift its skirt and haul arse its like the most intense speed cut kicks in and the whole car kinda lurches and shudders. It's hard to describe but it's actually kinda scary.

No boost gauge, I've only ever kept the car standard so having one has never been important to me.

We didn't disconnect any vacuum lines when we removed the intercooler so I can't see how any of the lines would be in the wrong place etc? I'm sick of the ****ing car and want rid of it TBH. I might get another Subaru but more than likely a manual and definitely non turbo, maybe a 3.0 H6. Obviously this problem needs fixed but it's driving me to madness, it seems to be costing money every few weeks. New radiator, rocker cover gaskets, new inner CV boots, new power steering rack ends, new brake pads, new knock sensor, bulbs etc etc etc and I've not owned it 2 years yet.
