  1. We are usually there until half 5 ish so either or mate ... just whatever is easiest for you.
  2. probably not during the weekend sorry brother .... any day during the week just call past and we can go for a drive ...
  3. www.simsbrothers.co.nz Come and see me Josh ... take me or Roy for a drive and we can have a listen ... or have you sorted this?
  4. I would be getting the radiator cleaned out while your at it or at least looking into why it overheated in the first place. Get the heads machined/resurfaced. Also best to get them crack tested (may have a crack between coolant jacket and cylinder) and hardness tested. Not entirely sure how strong ... I know the EJ25 don\'t like getting hot but sorry not sure about the EJ22. Replace the thermostat with genuine Subaru item (aftermarket thermostats can be a bit temperamental) and make sure the heads a torqued down to the right settings and are torqued in the correct order. If you are careful and get advice from the right places you should be ok. Have you done headgaskets before because it is quite an undertaking, especially on a Subaru. and I can\'t help with trailer sorry ....
  5. Yeah come into work and we can do the spark plugs ... we can check the resistance of the leads too and if there may be one that has high resistance when cold causing the cough?? could be a number of things but thats a really good place to start. We aren\'t too busy tomorrow afternoon from memory so If you want to drop it in for an hour or so we could change them for you and check the leads .... or give us a ring 4771110.
  6. Yeah thought as much, will have to call in to installer services tomorrow ... pretty sure they are the avs agents in Dunnas ..
  7. I have a BF5 with an AVS alarm installed, not sure which model. How can I disconnect the battery without the alarm chirping continuously? I have tried taking negative terminal off with it armed/ unarmed and every other combination I can think of but I am starting to go crazy .. when I reconnect the terminal alarm goes off .... help? I would just turn the siren off with the little key but I bought the car with the alarm but didn\'t get the key!
  8. Sloooooooly gathering bits. Have undersized big ends and mains just waiting on gasket kit and new oversized piston kit to arrive from the US of A. Heads are all skimmed and ready to go and intercooler is here ready to go. I can get the block re-bored once the pistons arrive and the crank ground now but waiting and going to get them all done in one hit. I will need a few more bits but just working on getting the long block together. Have had a mate fabricate me some new coolant pipes out of stainless steel so will be keen to see those bolted on as well!! Going to put a td04 on so will need a gc8 downpipe when motor is going back in, just a factory one for starters and get it mobile and a wof on so I can drive it!!
  9. I concur, rant away. Did SMC organise to get it all fixed up afterwards or was it your insurance company??
  10. 99% sure they will be the 1342's. There is loads of types of pads ... I would never ever ever put silverline front pads in .. may as well just pack mud in your brakes, wait until it dries then hope for the best ..... and still probably better than silverline's BNT or Ripco are probably best to try for pads, if they give you the wrong ones keep your receipt and they will just swap them until you get the right ones ...
  11. Bendix heavy duty pads or even GCT pads are pretty good, gct's would do the trick and are good pads but if you are heading down stuart st a lot the heavy duties are probably a better bet. Brake fluid just get some dot 4 fluid, 500ml-1 litre should be heeeeeaps. I don't mind helping you out, can bring some tools down and give you a lesson on how to do it, really easy once you know how. PM me if your keen with your cell number and I'll flick you a text.
  12. Yes this is possible, I know that kamineko had a ra box with the legacy final drive and rear diff ..... worked well from what I believe
  13. Just get a silcone 90 degree bend mate, about 95% sure that is all you need to make it fit.
  14. We do them at work mate, (https://plus.google.com/117810190167210242855/about?gl=nz&hl=en) wire up your plug, order and fit the bar. I think the Legacy ones are pretty straight forward though, no cutting of stuff needed, maybe the bumper needs a trim? Just make sure the bolts are super tight, don't want that bar coming loose with thousands of dollars attached!!!
  15. Well bit of an update ... heads will be ready for pickup on Thursday, all good apparently which I'm happy about. Semi bad news though, pulled the pistons out after work tonight and one cylinder is really badly worn, #1 if I remember correctly. So it will be getting a re bore, some new oversized pistons rings etc etc. I had already ordered rings and bearings. So the big ends and mains will be ok but does anyone want a set of brand new piston rings (standard sized)? Oh well, this motor is going to be brand spank when I'm done. Intercooler will be turning up shortly too so then I can get some piping made up for it. Tomorrow lunchtime mission will be splitting the block ..... Will take camera to work tomorrow and take some update pics. Might start pulling pedal box and centre console and shifter out on Thursday which will take my mind off the block for a day or two.
