Too Broke

What are the downsides to getting struts rebuilt? Would I expect to get good life out of a rebuilt set?

Your mate gave you Pinkeye 5 times???

My impression was that equal length headers improved the torque curve? I love the sound of the Twin Scroll + VVTI + Full noise

If you want the mods, then get a proper tune. Otherwise put it back to standard and put a standard ECU in it. Or........... try and tune it yourself, wait for it to run a bearing, then cry about the price of a rebuild and still need a tune?

But Dave, you can't possibly hope to have any sort of potential from only 1.3l ;D ;D

Why would ou even compare a Nissan straight 6 to an H4 motor. Anyone with half a brain, and could spend a little time reading actual facts before spitting dribble would know Subaru only went down the 2.5 route to meet emission standards in international markets. While incresased displacement does have its advantages, the 2.5 is still just a supporting act to the EJ20t. And you can harp on about potential all day, but unless you are talking power figures well north of 300kw@wheels, your arguement stands on shakey ground.

I presume Charlie is talking about Southwards Car Museum????

Excellent, good to hear. So would that GTB E-tune2 be ok to run on 95 Octane? I have only run mine on 95 for the last 2 years and it is still sweet as.

Do the plastic wheel arch linings clip off in the BH5's? Im guessing that would be the easiest way in?

NEED TO BUMP THIS UP---- How do I get to my park lights?

most people that go are like finshed school .....clearly without learning fcukall

Uneven heating and cooling. It maybe just in my head - but I have trouble trusting anything even slightly related to drifting

It's a bit hard to compare different tuners when you make them all use the same car - as all tuners have certain areas of expertise. - It's not like they marketed it as "The best (insert brand here) Tuner"

Its got to be the tuner, you should of kept the mods and just had the factory ECU re-flashed. As long as it was done by someone with Subaru experience, you should have achieved better power, response and torque.

If you are local to Welly, flick me a PM, I may be looking to move on from mine shortly. Let me know if you want any details.

I would expect chasing those power figures, the pulleys will be one of the last things to effect 'reliability' - thats if reliability and redicculous power figures can even be mentioned in the same sentence

lol +1 to that.

IMO you're on the money. I don't have any issues with them crushing repeat offenders cars, but think it should also include DUI and reckless driving. - I know there is alot of cars that I see getting around that I would love to see crushed. I believe it was going to happen eventually, so there's no point whining about it.

Lol an angled plate isn't going to upgrade your 'plain and standard' car at all - infact, all this does is downgrades the person behind the wheel IMO

I'm with you on this one. They have taken way too long to move on from their CDMA network. It's not likely I will be ditching vodafone for this, but I'm hoping it will make for more competitive pricing - Data in particular

Im still happy with my twin turbo. While some people do outgrow their twin turbo's, there are alot that either don't know how to drive them, or expect to much from them.

Anyone that speeds passed schools deserves alot more than just a ticket imo

in this ballpark

A good friend of mine had his V9 ECU reflashed at SpeedtechNZ with very good results. Base run (factory everything) got around 195kw@w. With full exhaust and panel filter in factory airbox and reflash it is up to 229.5kw@w - with a little more available with a good EBC and better boost control.

So not stock to your car then? Modified.
