  1. It was one owner too that were an older couple I believe so I'm hopeful to its overall condition now its at 115,000kms ( I brought it at 55ks)
  2. woot woot 2008-Oct-14 Pre-registration Check 135 Km/year 15,410 Km 2008-Sep-17 Border Check 15,400
  3. we can as long as it was not made (or is it imported) after 2010.. mines only 2007
  4. I'd like to get a decent alignment too.. seems bit hit and miss at some places.. they very rarely have your exact model in the alignment computer and then they don't really adjust everything as well as they could
  5. Are you allowed to decat a car of that year?
  6. What model Subaru do you have? Presumably nz new? Not sure what if anything they will do about imported cars
  7. Thanks for the info..How easy is it to check if this happening? When I get my car serviced can they readily reach the sensors or do they need to pull lots apart to reach? Is this the same issue as the OP acvs issue or a different sensor that has the issue?
  8. WTTTTFFFF!?! How common is this.. I have a 2007 Legacy BP5 still under Winger mech insurance warranty.. is this something I should get checked by them or is it not easily reachable without pulling a lot out?
  9. Was going to PM but quotings easier Where did you go in the end? I looked at supercheap yesterday they had expensive blue tube (I want black) and didn't see T pieces but I was looking in the isle with gauges not the Champion stand Is this the right stuff.. bit dubious http://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/Product/RSP-Vacuum-Washer-Hose-4mm-Per-Metre/104901
  10. This is 2nd hand and I've seen a few for sale that are 2nd hand to and they all have Plug on the power cable for the Controller still intact so they must have plugged in rather than tap. I'll pull off all the kick panels on both sides and have a look see.
  11. Do we have the socket to plug these controllers into a Legacy Bp5s? If not I saw in a defi manual that you should not connect the IGN wire to ACC? I'm hoping I can just plug and play though. Not my actual unit either just internet pic. And is this the right place to T off ? Do you cut the factory line like they have or pull it off add T short with new hose connect back up?
  12. The AEM is more than I wanted to pay, but if its quality its probably worth doing it right the first time... I only plan to do one round of mods (down pipe + tune) so I won't be constantly tinkering with it
  13. Theres a lot of reviews out there that say mechanical is more responsive than the electric but they are all old reviews circa 2009-2011. I would like to get a electric one so I can recall peak boost and have the warning option.. but I don't want it to be laggy. I'm leaning towards the Prosport EVO ones as it has the nice large PSI number so you are not trying to read count the lines on the traditional clock face. Any recommendations? Is Mechanical better, or Electric is good enough plus I get the features I want? I plan to put the gauge in the Legacy cubby so the vacuum line will have to run that far
  14. Car : Legacy GT-B 2007 Tuned Stock (running rich according to club day dyno) Fuel : BP98 Tank: 55-60L(guessing, most i've squeezed in is about 52 litres) Fuel economy : 450kms hard/casual drive, been getting 500-550 with 70% motorway, have hit 600Km with 85% motorway driving around auckland (botany to town and shore) Fuelly stats if known : -
  15. Yeah mine was reasonably reputable.. and pictures of odo which had increased but a couple of launches around the block don't show that much on the odo. Mine had no reason to be road tested either. just bad luck i guess
  16. I had my car in the panel beater late last year.. somehow they didn't spot my dash cam.. had one of the guys on video taking for a few trips around the block. Not looking forward to when I've done upgrades and eventually having to leave it at a mech/panel beater again. Shame you can't have a Valet tune or on the SI Drive lock into the I /economy mode .. MAF Killed switch and make it go into limb mode?
  17. Got a supermarket voucher from PaknSave Albany, had a company doing headlight cleaning for $69 each .. that seems cheap from others I've seen. My drivers is mint but the passenger is not (guessing replaced from an older year).
  18. Yes I think it is an SR7.. And yep from Nelson, Do you know the seat Brought it off trademe and had it sent up
  19. Getting closer to july so getting back into getting things planned out... If I use the Dtech 3-port - do they cut the plug off the factory boost solenoid and wire it on to the Dtech 3-port. As in the don't cut the loom end do they? Down pipe - Does this loose me any low RPM torque .. ? The Facelift BL has no cats/less cats? Just want to make sure there is a good gain and little to no downside (prefer none)
  20. Yeah nearly 3 years ago.. Wasnt much else around at the time 2007 gtb with 55,000kms on the clock
  21. Mines a used JDM.. and I still go to Winger Sublabs because of the mechanical warranty (you don't pay excess if they find the fault when servicing). Loan car and they have been really good so far.. bit of leeway sometimes with cost too. Not sure where I will go in july when warranty ends, may stay there. I'd recommend them even with the bit higher hourly labour cost.. the hours are never exccessive
  22. with push button start .. I would hope the only way they could take my car is on a trailer (which hopefully they don't' ) Hmm I hope theres not actually a keyhole under the blank plate where the ignition normally is ??
  23. No knock on you but I think that's kind of common sense.. I have push start on my car, when I'm about to leave and need to go back inside for something .. I'm always weary of taking the keys with me and leaving the car running. Push start will let you drive around without the keys.. never tested how long for but I'm assuming its until you turn the car off again.
  24. Here you go.. I don't think it looks too bad with just the driver seat being recaro.. from the outside its not really that obvious as seat is black in the standard subaru tints make it harder to see at a glance
