Hi, New guy, car check?

Recommended Posts

Hey all, first post here.

 

Short snippet here, Im 32, backpacker, in NZ for a year, don't drive, currently learning, looking at a Forester to be first car for 4 months or so while driving around this country, spotted one but recommended to get a Subaru master to check it out, make sure all is fine and won't need to much work.  I have seen previous posts mentioning a 'Rick Wheeler' who is in Lower Hutt, which would be perfect as the car I am looking at is there.  Also saw people mentioning Ray Hartleys in Welly CBD, but if I could get somewhere in Lower Hutt, would be preferred, recommendations welcome.  I think that's it.

 

If posted in wrong area, sorry, forum users first timers can get posts accidentally in wrong location.

 

Thanks,

Ryan.

Hi Ryan,

 I have my previous (2000) and current (2008) Foresters serviced by Pit Stop in Lower Hutt. They are a good bunch of guys and probably could give the car a good look over; give them a call (04 69 7674) and ask. There is also an AA place on Hutt Road (Lower Hutt) and they do vehicle inspections (04 939 9361); not sure if you have to be an AA member.

Cheers

John

Thanks John, I have heard AA can do a mobile inspection, so I will probably do that, but I think I would feel more confident in doing a more thorough check somewhere else, even if I buy the car first.  What is recommended to do with a (new) car, that is 22 years old when you buy it?

      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
