How does this look?

I dont mind it at all.

It has minimal mods and appears well serviced. As with every car you buy check it thoroughly. There is a place down in sydenham that do checks that include leak down/compression etc.

seem better than AA to me.

I test drove it on the open road for a bit and around the army base. Drives real nice, Didn't like it much when it ran outta gas but I guess thats to be expected eh.

Getting it checked by crowes or stubaru this week sometime

So I'm looking at getting a car and found this:

How does that look? Am very interested in it. And if it's worth looking into I will get it taken into Stubaru for an mechanical check.

TIA.

Take it to stubaru if you want it to be f***ed

Hes a f***ing retard >:(

Bad experience??

NickMcGill and a few other of his friends have had good experiences with him so just easiest to go with him.

Have a look at the rocker cover gaskets stubaru did

They even forgot to bolt the intake to the turbo..........

That definitely isn't a good sign.

My friends have had good experience with him and I don't think a pre-purchase check will be any bad

I can see some pm's coming to you soon, trading beer for showing me how to do things/fix parts of that car if I'm lucky to get it :)

I find it hard to believe stu did the rocker covers personally, he is very good at what he does and knows his shit. He use to work for the possum borne rally team btw. I think there may be more to that story. :-\

You work on a engine and leave the air intake open without something covering it... uhhh ?

yes, THAT'S the biggest problem in that thread, not the SH!T work done by a mostly well-respected garage.

So perhaps blatantly bad mouthing Stu and his workshop isn't the best idea as he is generally a well respected mechanic and thats a pretty big mitigating factor right there.

Its usually just him and maybe a helper as far as I am aware. So if you are talking about his workshop, in general you're talking about him (unless he's been unable to work and gotten someone in to cover his workload).

Dont get me wrong, stu him self does good work when hes there, I dont know if hes back yet but who ever was there while stu was sick charged $1300 for the job that I had to fix up

Right guys.

Stu was impressed with the car, and it's just the rocket cover gaskets that will have to be done in the future.

So I am picking up the car tonight.

Will have photo's up within the next few weeks. :)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
