[#HARDPARK2023]

Positive RONA test

 

Seems I'll have to order a sticker

[The fleet has been upgraded]

 

Trade in the daily while it still has some value, Good Energy loan at 1%, $8650 back from the Govt, was too good an opportunity to pass up

 

Went for the long range version, needs a charge once a fortnight with daily duties

 

It's no Tesla ludicrous but it's way quicker than the 2L Honda it replaced and a hoot to drive, SWMBO loves it

[There are 2 buttons on the actual hatch]

Hopefully I remember that

[Gloss or Satin Black for exterior trims?]

Satin

[What have you done to your car today?]

I drove it, seems to be a rare treat these days

Copy that

Yeah sign me up

 

Edit: Not on the Facebook, can I bring the hound?

[2009 WRX STI Downpipe Question]

If it's a 2.0L and you are not set on the cat this is another option (budget $100 for an adaptor also) Sounds better than stock, this and a happy tune on  the spec c was 220Kw at the wheels

[2022 Subaru WRX GT tS Wagon | Car Review]

The best ICE cars have already been made, this is the slow decline

[The secret to getting your wrx to well under 1000kg without expensive parts, has been revealed.]

I'm not sure if this build is awesome or deeply traumatic, my first car was a Viva... 

[Options other than bilstein??]

No problem, its next on my to do list for the spec c so I can let you know how it goes if you are not in a rush to do yours

 

 

[EZ30 Fuel To Use (Low IAM?)]

From memory just disconnect the battery for 10 min

[Gearbox Rebuild in Auckland]

Sure I've seen AM synchro sets for 5sp recently, but hellishly expensive

 

Shame to take the RA away from stock form but the 6spd is a much better box, with lots of support/parts

[Options other than bilstein??]

Autolign, but only in AK

[Options other than bilstein??]

Bilstein's can be serviced/rebuilt etc. less than $200 a corner last time I checked

 

Any decent upgrade to those will be, more

[Reinventing the Wheel, Well Gear Stick actually]

There are probably group n mounts in stock somewhere in the country

 

Bush kit for the shift linkage is what you need, with soild/group n mounts and a short shift you'll be in a much better place

[EZ30 Fuel To Use (Low IAM?)]

Mobil or BP 98

 

Even before it was tuned for 98 ie that's the best easily available in Welli

As much as it isn't the ‘right’ thing to do i’d say your easiest option is to put a factory one back on for the recheck then go back to the R400 later on. 

 

None of us have ever had to do this 🤣

Wow they look nice @chulozumo do you also make repairs for kerbing?

 

Relevant to my interests, the spec c wheels need some TLC

[Transmission Gully cruise Sun 3rd?]

Facebook?

 

I have no presence there, but I've tracked it down from the outside 

 

Cheers!

[Transmission Gully cruise Sun 3rd?]

Seems TG will finally be open from Fri

 

Only seems right we fill it up with Subaru's for a test run

 

Any interest?

[What Octane Fuel to Use? (2002 Twin Turbo B4)]

Is the NPDC in Porirua actually open? 

 

The NPDC web page says 'coming soon'

[Have you imported your own?]

I did many years ago, like 20 years, so probably no current/information of value

 

Failed compliance on a shock, I then had an un registered, un warranted and un insured vehicle sitting on the roadside (easy fix but it was a bit nerve wracking when you've shelled out 750000 yen 🤣)
