I run Pagid yellows on the front which are their enduro pad, got a good deal from Racebrakes as they were out of the Pagid Blues that they recomended. Awesome pads, good bite and last aaages but still a little dusty (less so than Ultimates that I have on the rear lol)
-
For those of us that actually drive our cars.....still useless lol, Id like more than 2 service stations in the entire Island lol.
-
Oh cool, yeah should fit easily enough, its all broken down and wrapped up. Ill get in touch with WRXER again and then sus out a time to drop the wing off to you.

Bump, got too busy at work to meet up with Lachlan before he went so back looking for a courier again.
-
Definately time to get the thing retuned on 95 me thinks, shame since the rest of the world seems to get good petrol while ours just gets worse
-
They will just be next in the queue no doubt, itll be a money making exercise.
-
Time to tune the car on 95 then I guess
-
Using the rear wagon ones arent a good idea unless you weight 300kg and like leaning on your bonnet to shut it. There use to be kits on TM mainly for other cars but cant see why you cant adapt them to a subie.
-
Funny there seems to be no set rule on pricing, I paid 1k ish with clic, got quoted $1600 with higher excess from Clubauto and ended up back at NAC when the offered me cover for $800 yet others seem to get the opposite.
Service was excellent when I spoke to CA however.
-
Cheers man that sounds good, I have PMd WRXER to see if this suits him, Ill flick you a text if its all go.
-
Hi all, anyone going from Welly to AUX or CHCH in the near future?
have a rear wing that WRXER is buying from me, he\'s in AUX but his car\'s in CHCH so seeing if anyone can take it up/down for us.
Cheers

If the oxidation keeps coming back Id wetsand and reclear, the more you buff and the harsher the compounds you may need to go to might go through into the weave screwing it for good. Shouldnt cost too much for a couple of layers of clear, a panel beater might be able to whack it in the booth with some other stuff they need to clear to save some time/cost.
-
Just had a quote from Clubauto and they want nearly $500 more than Clic do and need a valuation done....at my cost no doubt. Time to see what I can screw out of NAC (cant say Id be that happy going back to them) or Insure direct.
edit: Insure Direct over 2.5 times what I pay with Clic but 1/3 excess gulp

Yeah V9+ hubs (which is a lot of work) or adaptors, both would need certing though. You might find you need to widebody the car if you run adaptors tho or get really dumb offset.
-
Its only really the ICV that would get in the way and mine is in the standard place, With a standard bonnet I reckon I still reckon it would fit the way I have it set up as my bonnet is lower in the middle, all dependant on the angle the manifold is rewelded at.
If you just flip the mani round then the ICV would be way too high......tried that. using my old v1-2 manifold I could have fit 30mm+ spacers in no worries but that one was cut and welded really low so the throttle body came straight out not up on an angle......Glen might sell it to you if you want to try it lol
-
My hot side inter cooler piping goes over the manifold and only just touches, did have to amend the radiator vent tho so the throttle body and cold side pipe didnt hit. My mani is cut and welded so the ICV is still on the rear.
BTW my bonnet is light years from standard and no longer metal so not a good comparison haha
-
Glens/Scooby clinics ones are good cos they are nice and thick too, the gizzmo ones are only 3mm and dont really do enough from what Ive read. I have 12mm RCMS ones and after a hard run I can touch the manifold and its barely warm.
-
I would have bought a 30 buck fibreglass kit and some bog personally..
And primer and paint and clear and cutting compound and then realised that fibreglass kits stick to plastic lips about as well water to teflon without a lot of pre-work effort, lord knows Ive tried. $200 is a good price and well worth it if the job is solid.
-
This would have been with coilovers, sway bars and bushes done though not standard mush suspension, no?????
Id say better things to spend dinero on when your car is near standard, good suspension/sway bars would be well ahead of that brace.
-
Yeah I never noticed anything with mine to be honest, not that I took it off because of that haha.
If you have standard suspension and sway bars Id almost guarantee it wont make a bit of difference, all the compliance will be taken up by the suspension and bushes long before the chassis IMO.

PM X on here, Im sure he spliced a v8 loom into his coupe to run the factory ecu.
-
That sounds like attrocious blowby, I had about 500mls in my can after a nearly a year including a track day.
Rings should be bedded in in the first 20-30 mins, is the majority coming from the crank breather???
-
All the carp that ends up in my catch can is milky if that helps so sounds normal to me. I dont bother putting it all back in the engine tho, just pipe the vapour out the back and drain the can once a year
