Haha I had things on on Sunday so no mas. Yeah power steering pump is a piece of cake realistically. Got a replacement pump on the way and will swap it tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

@Dairusire should have come to the Drag day, dont need powersteering to drive in a line 😎 Glad its not all bad though, sounds like its going good and a PS pump is easy compared to the drama you have behind you.

Rank. Doesn't get much more ghetto than that. Didn't even bother cutting them off nice and close

There's someone in Hamilton who can tune subi's!?

So, flatnats for me was... Expensive... And I didn't even get to go lol Bit of a rant ahead. Wednesday, phenolic spacers into the RA. Took a half day on Thursday. Drove the RA down to Hamilton and met up with@gotasuby for a road tune on the old girl. Safe to say, it definitely is a Ej205. But its now quicker than ever! Flex fuel, two stage launch control, boost by gear, all the good stuff.. Bring in Friday! Up on stands, go to remove the wheels, last wheel, last nut...why is this spline nut different to the others... Can't find the correct spin drive or a socket of metric or imperial size that will fit... Decide to do something else productive in the meantime. Fix the bushes for drive shaft onto RA. one of the new bushes I bought have gone missing... Just an FYI, the pilot bearing for your clutch fits perfectly and is the right size Absolutely need wheel off car... Become a brute, bash on a 16mm socket I no longer need and remove. New set of wheel nuts it is. Drop wheels off to Bridgestone, to get Hankook slicks put on. Take friends car to get windscreen fixed. They said 30mins. It was not 30mins.... Much longer.. Go pick up tyres, pick up car trailer..hmm legacy is too low... And rear shocks are coozed... I haz spares! Put wheels on RA to move it so I have flat space to do legacy shocks... Strips out a stud on hub... But I haz spares! Replaces all the studs on rear right wheel. While my Mrs sos messages @94 Leone for a 'plz. Drew needs halp' Harley arrives and does legacy suspension on driveway in 25mins. I fix alternator tensioner with new bolt so it'd stay in place. Fix small coolant leak from water pump hoses. Do heatshielding. No longer cook things. Yeah good. 8pm.. Am done... Cars finished and tidied up, has new fluids, heatshielding, new wheel studs, slicks, tune, phenolic spacers, new suspension in legacy so it doesn't drag its ass all the way to pukekohe. Start car. Heinous noise from power steering pump. It's coozed.. I haz no spares... Throwsinthetowel.jpg Sometimes things just don't go right and the stars don't align. Sorry to those who I said I'd be there. Things just didn't want to work out. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Hi @RaKid, Do you have the face-lift SG? I have an SG and the factory antennae are in the rear glass between the C and D pillars. They each have their own attenuators located right below them in the trim. Usually, yes. They have the same wheelbase and if you download the original brochure of the SG from Japan, they market it as a GG/GD Impreza that has just been lifted. Those who lift their GG/GD Imprezas usually just buy the SG Forester's suspension components like shocks, trailing arms, half-shafts, etc. to keep the alignment as spot-on as possible. I can imagine doing the reverse for an SG if you are thinking of lowering it. I have seen tourers using the GC/GF brakes on their SGs without modifications/adapters. Cheers.

As above totally legal and did it to the forester I used to use on the track. Even took it to VTNZ for a water tank where the guys there redid it as a 2 seater!

When I did it, I actually just used the cheapo yellow of that came with my SCA polisher for the polishing steps . When I redo it I’ll use the eBay polishing pads of varying strength for different steps. For wax steps I used cheap SCA black pad. I’m a noob too and followed same online tutorials, found the megiuars vids to be quite helpful though it helps I guess that I’ve done it all by hand in the past on previous cars (multi day process by hand!) Done some write up in my thread of my experiences if interested but as a one line summary : the Meguiars stuff with the super cheap stuff is very easy to use, doesn’t break the bank and gives great results if you put in the time to do it right Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
