    What have you done to your car today?

    in General Vehicle Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Disruptz

    Successful day,

    Fixed the impreza + new oil change

    Removed the SSQV(real) from the sti, <- drives soo much better, less rpm drop between shifts, stronger boost in low rpm, very reccomended do to. I forgot what full drive ability felt like.

    Turbo doesn't spool as loud now, :( :( use to sound like a jet plane. But now I have wastegate chatter on high boost :confused: Maybe it was just masked by the ssqv before.

    Help? Cambelt timing, does this look bad?

    I don't think the 08 model has the avcs filter? Anyway I pulled the ocv valve out, and swapped it to Bank A and the car started! but with check engine still on, so I guess off to buy a new Bank B sensor. Thanks for the help.

    Duurr just had to reset the ecu all is working fine now after a 2k drive. 'touch wood'

    I had recently completed a oil change on my 08 impreza and before hand moved the car started and moved forward less than a meter and shut off the car all within a second. After completing the oil change the car wouldn't change. I replaced plugs, filters, pump test, and then decided to take a look at the belt which looked like this.

    is this the reason my car won't start? :confused:

    wheel offset?

    What flares are you planning on using?
    the karlton flares from carbenfibre, which are moulds from the originals. I actually messaged subyflares/karlton the original manufacturer and I wouldn't be able to geat a set untill september/october. I'm still 50/50
     
    Also keep in mind that you will need a cert if your wheels protrude from the original bodywork and track width is increased by more than 25mm.

    If the wheels are tucked under aftermarket flares molded to the oe fenders wouldn't this fall under no-cert required category?

    wheel offset?

    soo, I'm planning a project where the missus stated it was a 'waste of money' so I definitively know that I am on the right path.. :cool:

    The question is can someone help explain the law around offset (i.e running a 10.5 et +15) vs factory ( 17x7.5 et +53)

    The law states,

     
    "in the case of a front-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle fitted with a

    transversely-mounted engine:

    (i) not more than 10% of the total wheel width positive; and

    (ii) not more than 35% of the total wheel width negative;"

    does this mean the offset can not be lower than 35% of the wheel width, so if I was to run a wheel that was 10.5 wide, the lowest positive offset could be +5 ? is this right?

    fyi it is a similar diffuser if you had your heart set on that particular one in the original post. The mature diffuser is a bit larger and covers more bumper, the trademe link is a replica hks kansai diffuser. (both good lookers imo) I think you will have to look on ebay for replicas, around $250 for each pair (skirt, lip pair, rear spats) so about $750nzd with I'd expect $500 shipping, yeah that's the killer. There are nz sellers such as fortyone who can sell you the oringal chargespeed kits for $2000!,

    search ebay for 04 bottomline, might find the frp kits alot cheaper than the carbon fiber.

    I changed the oil in my 08 impreza today, and now the car won't start!?, I had to quickly move the car as I parked it in the garage overnight, and quickly moved the car 2m forward and then turned off the car and complete my oil change. Some posts seem to believe the motor has flooded, idk is that even possible on an 08?

    12.6v on the battery, same as my sti at idle and that cranks. The ignition turns over but wont start, any help?
