  1. noticed a small amount of oil in garage, took to shop for another reason and got him to check the leak, said its leaking out all the seals but said maybe the breather is blocked?? but he was only having a quick look and couldnt find the breather, anyone know where and what it looks like so i could have a go at fixing it

    he thinks its maybe incased and above the rear diff

  2. been using valvaline engine armour oil 5w 30, noticed the subaru tick on 1st start ups, 15w 40 magnatec for the winter? oil only done 4000ks max so will dump it and see if thicker oil helps, engine done maybe 40000ks on rebuild

    A lot of material through Google searches is simply wrong.

    ;)

    All official Subaru photos show the extended lip was standard on all regular STIv6, the revised spoilers were one of the few changes over the v5.

    As loner says, they were vulnerable to damage and are easily removed. leaving a v5 look.

    so true. i have fitted the lip to my 5 making it look like a 6 front ;D

    secondary has heaps off pull just as much as a standard sti, drop it into 2nd at 80 and it pulls hard as

    For what, 1000rpm?

    Haha my thoughts as well

    I love me a big comfy legacy as much as anyone but you\'re dreaming if you can drive a (stock) sti then a b4 back to back and say the legacy is quicker in a straight line the majority of the time. The power to weight of both cars is generally the same - a legacy is about the same weight as the average wrx - but the midrange is just chalk and cheese, and then adding the long legged legacy gearbox into it there\'s a big deficit to make up

    They *can* go good - mine sits side by side with evos that have high 12 sec slips - but all it takes is one mis timed shift or whatever and it\'s all over, it\'s like VTEC without the economy, and minus the response

    On paper the legacy can go good - in the real world you\'re pushing sh1t uphill a bit

    agree totally, as a daily driver with some power there fine, i wouldnt own 1 tho after having a TT few years ago, im a single turbo person :P

    Ongoing urgent maintenance to the new car. Stupid Japanese owner didn\'t do any servicing for 80,000km!

    So far:

    Spark plugs

    Engine oil

    Transmission oil

    Wheel alignment + camber bolts (completely out, running positive camber on front right and negative camber on front left!)

    Replace crazy Japanese GPS stereo with something useable

    Almost there, just need to flush the brakes and fit better pads next week. Big thanks to spark38 and mattapo for all your help!

    what car do u have now? thats abit overdue :D
