  1. Sonic yellow, nice colour. I want a Euro, but doing 1000K a week puts me off a bit. Don't know anything about them in reality though
  2. Is anyone heading to leadfoot Febuary next year? Waitangi weekend. Anyone keen to book a bach? Tickets should be on sale any day now, am tempted to take a caravan this time round. Anyone had any experience hiring caravans?
  3. From Politics to science battles, all we need now is vorigan? And ichiban to pop up and the Circle of CS life is complete
  4. On a side note, anyone know if theres any rules around making Ethanol? My Merican friends keep trying to convince me to get a still
  5. Bought a house, too many toys, all my friends require a garage so not ideal to have flat mates. Plus it was ridiculously cheaper then shitholes next to mosques in cannons creek. And I'm half way closer to Manfield then you lot now
  6. Heres our fuel/refined/crude oil imports 2017 United Arab Emirates- 1.88B Singapore- 1.14B Malaysia - 625M Republic of Korea - 618M Russia - 294M Saudi Arabia - 154M Japan- 126M Australia- 119M Qatar- 114M Usa- 51M Source- statistics nz Most of our crude gets exported because its such a high quality it offsets our production of refining low quality crude. Australia buys most of it of our good stuff. As much as i hate the Gubment (all of em equally) they aren't the sole factor here. It will be interesting to see what happens when our review of Defense forces in the sandpitts come up in, november, i think? Almost willing to bet that we'll keep boots on the ground over there. Freedom, Oil and all that other fun stuff. Since i live in Levin now I have a Glorious Gull station locally, diesel and 91 are both 30C cheaper then welly and Gull 98 is about 30C i think. BP 91 currently 2.06, Diesel 1.35 Gull 91 1.99, 98 2.14 , diesel 1.28 BP in otaki, is 13 minutes down the road, 98 2.44, and the usual for 91. We're definitely in for an interesting ride.
  7. Up to you, for the sake of a few dollars i run OEM, don't forget the crush washer as well.
  8. Not looking forward to it. They will be getting a stern talking to and a reminder on who they are dealing with and the well known history of Flat Four Specialist and Brendan Pollock, they will understand not to F*** it up after that i think. Pretty happy Subaru Japan is honouring the recall on the under manifold Inlet pipe though, thats on its way from JDM land atm. I thought i was gonna get left high and dry over that. I hope they let me keep the old on. I just hope it comes back with absolutely no rattles, like how it is now. So quiet.
  9. Put some fossil fuel in it because I'ma bad man who hates the environments. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1438965456209210&id=1116020928503666
  10. Grav ex has a v7 207 in it, but i only have a cheap $80 Bluetoothdongle which does SFA RA-R wont be going to that rowing club though, wont make it back out the carpark with those pot holes!
  11. Shouldn't miss it, i think its the inly beachside coffee cart, somewhere in the middle of the esplanade, location is on the SS event Tactrix? You're making it very hard to decide between the Gravel Express and the RA-R....
  12. Theres also the underground carpark out in newtown, under the burger fuel. Usually no one there ever. Bit further away but fully covered. Probs markets in the frankits carpark? Luckily we're not made of sugar
  13. https://www.facebook.com/events/1810959792274511/?ti=as Shameless promotion of SS
  14. Isn't it a VF30? It has all the supporting mods. It should be htting 200+ easy. Even the Gravel Express has 207kw. Pulling to redline in a daily driver? A whole 2 and a half gears of redline? Coz theres a speed limit
  15. What you want is more torque, for a daily driver that porbably only does pulls from the lights. You're not after mad killerwasps yo. Just sort whatevers wrong with it to get it to 220kw, or find a dyno that tells you its 220 as is. Or just go E85 with replacing the whole fueling setup then hit 260 on that standard turbo and just buy drums of E85. Easy. Like for the cost of buying a slightly larger turbo to get 250, you may as well just buy boons holset and chuck that in to save you time, money and heartache.
  16. I usually finish work at about 8/9am so I'll be around! Probs in the grav ex
  17. April 14, sounds good. Guess I'll have to decide which one to take now
  18. Hmmmm i suppose i really should come, I'm only like 40 mins away now so i don't have much of an excuse hahaha
  19. No parade lap this year, might have to nag subaru for next year. As for the parking spot...I arrived early before the subaru guys and just left it there hahahah. Seemed to get a lot of attention though
  20. I saw you driving through Whitianga, I was not expecting to see an S203! Didn't realise you were on here either. Woulda made a good photo shoot! RA-R and 203
  21. You have map lights, yes? Assuming you do those will have to be removed. Then there is a bracket the lights bolt too which is spot welded to the roof vent bracket underneath (GC/GF all have thato bracket stock), assuming the 7 wagon does as well. That will need to be carefully drilled off the roof to break the spot welds, you will then be able to bolt everything in easily, assuming you have all the parts. You will have to drop the roof lining down in order to see if the bracket is actually under the map lights and obviously cutting and drilling holes in the roof for mounting etc
  22. 207kw, 405nm The vf42 has stupid high torque but even that didn't crack 500
  23. Really depends on how much you are willing to pay. Easiest to take it to a powder coater and say you want super chrome with a crystal clear. If you want it done right, don't expect it to be cheap.
  24. I get about 400k to a tank in the sti, gotta love that boosty boosty vf42 and smaller fuel tank lol. Had an na bp legacy for a while, it convinced me never to get a non turbo subaru unless it's a 3L
