Thanks all for the details! It's a 2003 BH5 EJ206.
I did get the cap-less tank... works perfectly.
Car still performs like a slug... but that's another problem.
I have a 2003(2002 model) Legacy BH5 auto GTB E-tune TT... and I'm having a hard time with what the "correct" radiator should be in the car. Some say the rad doesn't have a cap, but mine does. And, if I get one without a cap, does it matter? I can top up the fluid from the side reservoir.
Thanks!
I’m looking for the owner of a black 1997 Forester, with the reg “NAZGUL”. It’s absolutely nothing bad...I’d just like to chat with them about the Sub! Thanks!
Thanks @Individualities... the deck is different...only has "Subaru" on the top left of the deck face. It's a stock 6 disc, miniDisc, head unit. It sounds good, but will upgrade later to a bluetooth unit when my daughters end up driving it more.
@Individualities Thanks. The head unit says Subaru...so I don't think it's a McIntosh. I'll have a look under the seat.
Hmmm...cool sounding bands... I've never heard of them. Are they NZ?
@Individualities I'm really surprised by how good the stock sound is! The deep base was making this speaker flutter...almost unbearable to listen to. For $20, absolutely!
Now, when the need for bluetooth becomes mandatory, then I'll get the double din head unit, and the accompanying speakers! I do like my Led Zepplin, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Beastie Boys, Anthrax, Judas Priest, and Whitesnake!
So... I got some parts. What a learning experience this has been! Here are the places I've been to get info and parts...
SuperCheap Auto - New Lynn
BNT - New Lynn
Winger Subaru - Auckland
SubTech - Auckland
Strong For Subaru - Onehunga
After going back and forth between these places over the last 2 days...I have the following parts...
Front ceramic pads - 2006 WRX Calipers - BNT
Rear ceramic pads - 2002 Legacy GTB BH5 - BNT
MAF cleaner - BNT
Throttle body cleaner - BNT
Front caliper cross spring - 2006 WRX - Winger Subaru
Front slotted rotors - 2002 Legacy GTB BH5 - SubTech
Left rear brake light lens - Strong For Subaru
Left rear door speaker(mine's blown) - Strong For Subaru
I'd like to thank Raj at SubTech for his tech help and suggestions, Rachael at Strong for Subaru, Talia at Winger, the staff at BNT, and the staff at SCA(even though they had none of the parts or chemicals in stock).
Here's a few pics...
I'll post some more pics of the parts tomorrow...and some of the repairs when I do them.
Im going to Winger, Subtech, and the big used Subaru parts dealer in Onehunga. I'll post my experiences!
The major types of brake pad material are semi-metallic and ceramic, with ceramic being the higher cost better performing and lower dust material.
@RaKid @TNHSTI Thanks for the info!
I'm taking these pads back to SCA. I'm heading off to Subtech in Auckland to get some rotors and pads there. What brand do you guys recommend for the ceramic pads?
I'll be posting my brake install adventure as well.
I'm replacing the brakes all the way around. Here are the pads I picked up at SuperCheap...
My guess is I have the wrong front pads, but the right rear pads. Are these ceramic pads worth putting on? Should I be getting another brand? Thanks!
As I'm new to the Subaru scene...with the WRX calipers I have...will I need the matching pads, shim kit, spacers, and clips? Where the rotors changed too?
Thanks.
