  1. ive got a fuel pump for sale in chch for $50 if you keen. off a v9 sti
  2. i was told by frazer at m45 that the v7 is common to have fail afr sensor, i wanted to check everything i can before splashing out on one of those because they not cheap. also no point buying and turns out thats not te issue
  3. i've changed new fuel filter, cleaned throttle body, cleaned afm and it seems to have made it a little better but not completely sorted. what else should i check? what would cause a strong petrol smell from exhaust?
  4. I have a 01 v7 imprezza non turbo and It has a very strong smell of petrol coming from the exhaust. Smells like it's running very rich. I was wondering can this be a direct result from a failed o2 sensor? The car also hesitates abit when accerlation. If it is the o2 sensor, would it be better to get a 2nd hand one or new dense or even a Bosch? I heard a new denso is like $450!? Even better if anyone here sells them or know someone selling one, I could be interested. In chch Thanks
  5. It's not a squeeking sound. Won't be belt Because I know what that sounds like. It's hard to describe the sound from start up. I might not even be describing it right..
  6. Hi all, recently I've noticed my car sometimes makes a strange sound on start up. I've only noticed it when it was cold. It's kind of a grinding/ screeching sound. It Makes the sound for about. 5 second then goes away. Anyone knows why or what is causing this? Car is a v9 sti. Thanks

  8. I heard subaru in America are recalling some subaru including 2004 impreza. Just wondering if that includes mine.
  9. god damn flys wont f off and let paint dry lol.
  10. Finally had the guy over today after some mucking around. i must to say it looks a lot better than when he started. the wheels were very stone chipped before and now it looks very good. Cost $80 to do each. only con i would say is his time management and communication was quite poor, the results were good however. Pic is of left front and left rear picture share
  11. the key to selling a car or in fact anything is how it's advertised. you need to write down important details that people would want to know. I.e: what's done to it, any service history, show any receipts for work done, how it drives, what the engine, gearbox, brakes, suspension, body and interior is like. mention any imperfection it might have. basically you want the person reading it to know just about everything about the car before he sees it in person. you need to make the person reading it confident that what you are saying is genuine and honest.
  12. thanks, i will send a txt and see what he says.
  13. its my girlfriends idea with the tyre and im the one paying to fix it. i've brought 2nd hand tyres before and they never had any issue. i probably wouldnt buy 2nd performance tyres tbough. anyway it turns out it was the person(mate) that ****ed it when he fitted it. had to buy 2 new tyres in the end.
  14. sweet thanks. i want to ask just incase they try to break out some legal **** to me. i know its a 2nd tyre but end of the day if they are selling them then atlease they should be safe enough for use.
  15. hi all, i purchased a 2nd hand tyre from osaka motors in christchurch and had the tyre fitted by 4wd specialist on monday. i've noticed that today there was a big bulge on the tyre on the car. i want to ask if anyone knows how something like this could happen? is it the tyres fault or the person that installed it? my gf said she felt the car swaying left and right for a bit when she was driving it on the motorway. i want to get this sorted but first need to find out what is it that cause it. it doesnt look like she hit a curb because there are no serious curbing on that wheel as you can see. if it was the tyres failt, could i go back to them with the tyre and ask for a replacement? or can argue that 2nd hand tyres are not covered by warranty? let me know whats the best way to go about sorting this. money is not an issue but i just want to find out how something like this could happen. thanks all
  16. Probably unlikely but does anyone know if there is anyone that does mobile wheel refurbishment in christchurch? Thanks
  17. Have just been talking to him. Will meet up with him at some stage to go over the tuning stuff. Thanks for the recommendation timmah
  18. oh ok. i probably wont bother than. in regards with tuning, will the v9 benefit with ecu reflash as is? or will the difference be so minor its not worth it?
  19. hi all have just recently brought a v9 sti, i was think about doing basic mods and maybe a retune and leave it at that. so far its got a turboback exhaust and bov. can anyone tell me would it be safe/wise to put a hks intake kit on for now and do a tune later down the line? would the pipe itself cause any issues with the afm without a tune? also would be worth the money since the v9 already accelerates like a rocket (quite literally) thanks http://www.subaruspeed.co.nz/products/air-intake-hks-impreza-01-07
  20. when you say $41 on here do u mean someone on this site is selling some for $41?
  21. hi looking to replace the spark plugs on my 01 v7 non turbo impreza, just wondering where would be the best place to get them? i rang bnt and they cost about $37 each for some iridium. i've found some on trademe for $20. would these be ideal? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/other-accessories/auction-788179593.htm
  22. hi is there a thread on how to do this? since the updating of the website, im lost with navigating on this place. thanks
  23. hi, our cars windows is acting weird. eg when you set the rear right window down from the drivers side switch panel its fine but it wont go up when using the same switch? and its the same with the front passenger side too will go down using drivers switch but not up, however the rear left side works both ways from the drivers side switch. can anyone suggest whats causing this? why do some go down but not up? i took the door cards off and nothing looks tempered with..
  24. hi my gf has a v7 impreza non turbo automatic, everytime we start the car up cold and drive it, the car hesitates a little bit under acceleration. not much but just feels like the car doesn\'t want to go. the problem goes away once the car is warmed up. any suggestions?
  25. thanks. i tried google, yellow page, finda, nocowboys and plug google, didn\'t show the time, only the location..
