  1. The scalings wrong, the torque number should be down around 400 or there abouts, factory 207 rods tend to lunch themselves around 500nm. Nice curve though, should be pretty fun to drive!!
  2. Have a look at moving your number plate up in line with the support, imho it looks a lot tidier
  3. Could have been fettled by merch? He often takes off the original markings on the compressor housing, but then again he normally attached his own Id on it too
  4. Ooooohh no hot cans, always hot cans..... Doesn't matter if middle of Sahara, always hot cans
  5. Most people here either get professionals to do the retune on a Dyno, or are doing their own tuning from the ground up, and have done a lot of reading and logging before their first re-flash, so are aware of the issues. Bit of a catch-22 really, those that know about the risks are the least likely to encounter them hahaha Tactrix are really good, fast work, very friendly and helpful bunch of guys
  6. I do believe that is correct, the wheels won't clear. Which is no major issue, considering technically as you are changing calipers and potentially rotor size as well, you are supposed to be certing it.....
  7. having changed the steering rack bushes in my v7, i'll give you this advice. dont do it. dont even think about it. absolute prick of a job, not worth the time hassle or effort. change the steering rack bushes, spend the remaining money elsewhere.
  8. autosol and a buffer pad also works wonders. straight criss cross lines when sanding, no swirling motion, start at like, 240 and work your way up to 2000 grit, keep it REALLY wet (wet sponge dribbling water while sanding works well) then clear coat of some sort. or just use autosol.
  9. Definitely obd2 Elm327 chips won't read em, need to hunt around to find adapter that will, or just buy a tactrix. iPhone as far as I'm aware doesn't play nicely with subies, I'd strongly recommend an Android app called btssm, works mint
  10. *rolls eyes* Winger techs and the "she's all fixed, we cleared the codes" Not the first time I've seen it tbh. And if I was in your shoes I'd take it to someone who will actually tell you the fault, give you the fault code etc and make sure that you are okay with the codes being cleared. That kinda carry on annoys me. It could have been a sticking waste gate solenoid, normally a hit with brake cleaner will clean out the crud thats stopping it working properly, but be aware it'll happen again soon unless all the associated vacuum lines are also cleaned out. It's a couple of hours to do it thoroughly
  11. Be/bh legacy's, as well as the bd/bg chassis
  12. I use youship and just bite the bullet. It's probably the most cost effective option for smaller stuff, as they'll repackage items to save size
  13. Driver's side, loosen off the steering u joint
  14. A few choice swear words definitely helps!
  15. Bottom of the b pillar I think passenger side. They moved em
  16. Came as 5x100 only, sti spec c option wheels, only on v7/8. Headlights are factory hid's, with factory fogs as well. Boot spoiler came on the car, but I'm sure they can be found on eBay :-) I'm happy with it aye, just don't look at the boot from behind atm, big ding in it from a nose to tail hit and run Monday avo. What did I do today? Drove it. Currently in Wellington, getting a few hours kip before being on the 7am ferry down to flatnats, awwwwwyiss
  17. Yeah there's nothing structural, bumper iron is fine, no ripples in the Tyre well, everything is straight, it's literally just the plastic and the outer skin of the boot lid. It still sucks though. I hope the cops throw the book at the driver. His 3 kids in the car were in tears, begging him to shut up as he was shouting at me for "going to slow" in a 30kmh temporary speed zone. I was turning into the driveway of my scout hall, he full beamed me then punted me up the arse. All my scouts heard and saw it too, so the rest of the evening was spent reassuring them.
  18. Well, yesterday. Victim of a hit and run. Gotta go in tomorrow to make formal statement, insurance quote etc etc. Not happy. All you people at flatnats will get to see the mess in person, cas it's asthetics only, and I won't let one stroppy islander spoil my weekend.
  19. Ooooohh it was salvagable if you didn't turn the car off, just leave it all turned on and attempt to re-write ecu image. As it stands, you may be able to salvage with sh boot write, but have a chat to @west_minist
  20. Thursday: removed v10 alloy arms, replaced with v7 sedan ones. No more clunks yay! And endlinks are now sitting right. Drives nice, only rattle now is from the loose bit of trim somewhere in the boot. Today Primered rims, painting em tomorrow. Mounted fire extinguisher. Replaced damaged led park light Took her for a bit of a drive, hopefully wof and clear coat rims Monday. Running out of time, but only little bits left now to be done.
  21. It's for cooling. I tucked mine behind the front bumper iron
  22. I'm assuming for track day, I have a question. I have some 88% cotton / nylon blend overalls that's been impregnated with flame retardant, will they be fine?
