[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Cough!!! At least 2k to change my heads :-[

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Thanks to local CHCH member getting me a complete set of heads from a 97 gtb for $100 ;D dissipointed that a member who I shall not name who also offered me a set of heads but a lot more expensive got very snarky :(when I informed him I had actually found a set cheaper.... I thought were all adults lol but obviously not ae!

In other news my gauge pod for my dash is on its way from driven performance!!

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Okie dokie n its a vf22 but i get what u mean with the extra oil water feed with them being twin turbo heads. All making sense ;D

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Sweet! Now wats the deal with the welding? Why is that needed ???

What head gasket would u reccommend?

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Funky u will know will 97 gtb heads be ok for my car

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Yeah i could but if legacy heads will flow better etc might as well go for that then ae

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Sweet bg heads itl be!! Now to find some

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Sweet funky il check that after work n all good any advice is good advice

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Yeah il post up for a cash job otherwise il get tony at rdl to do it.

The welding is that for all twin turbo heads going onto a single turbo motor?

So what model year heads should i buy?

Il go down the legacy head route i think ;D

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

Mines got the facelift interior so id guess version 5??? How do u tell?

so id be better getting gtb heads as opposed to sti ones, what year gtb heads?

Labour charge will be the only killer :-X

[Where to go for a WOF]

Bishopdale wof n lube behind caltex-bloody gud bugger taken all my cars there $35 bux isn't picky if it's something minor like a bulb he fixes it n charges u wat eva n passes u. For arguments sake went to one up the road in from there in my b4 last year-car got failed for 3/4 things got old man to have a he used to be a mechanic for Toyota car was fine. Went to my usual n car passed fine so yeah

[Replacing wrx heads-bent valve due to last owner]

So my wrx has had a tappity tap since day I bought it, I wasn't to bothered but now it's really bugging me.diagnosed as a bent valve- back story last owner had cambelt snap got replaced but obviously the &$@?!' mechanics didn't check anything.

So how much for heads and what kinda cost labour wise

I've found a few on trademe but yeah

Anyone here got heads for a 1998 wrx?? ???

Also wrx/sti heads what's the diff? More aggressive cams etc

I'm assuming I can wack a set of sti heads on no problem??

[Wrx-thrust bearing noise:(]

Clutch in and and I'm sure its thrust bearing, engages fine but only when depressing clutch hear a Whiney wurring sound..

So guess I mite as well do clutch at same time n fix the sloppy shifter

Cost??? I had to replace gearbox on my old wrx that was just over a grand including clutch replacement etc

Any one recommend a garage/mechanic in CHCH who won't charge a arm and a bloody leg or is a mechanic and wants a cash job

[Wrx-idle down issue-dosnt stall but flutters abit]

Its venting lol and checked that seals at idle has to be icv but no idea how i pull it apart

[Wrx-idle down issue-dosnt stall but flutters abit]

How do I do this?????

[AUTOMOTIVE PHOTOGRAPHY-CUSTOM CANVAS,PHOTOBLOCKS, ETC]

I have done photoshoots already for a couple of places in chch mainly events nothing car related though well not professionally I'll take some in the next couple weeks and upload some I'm not saying I'm pro.I enjoy photography and cars so why not combine the two

[AUTOMOTIVE PHOTOGRAPHY-CUSTOM CANVAS,PHOTOBLOCKS, ETC]

To CHCH members, have been toying with this idea so il put it out there, have done abit of photography and have the ability to get canvas and photo blocks etc done and made up, along with an ok ability at photoshop ( getting better all the time) so I'm going to offer automotive photography, want a photoshoot of your pride and joy along with a canvas etc for your wall give me a yell. Not sure of pricing yet but of course discount if your a cs member

Pricing would be

* cost of travel to and from location of your choice

* my time taking the photos- as many as you would want/ can fit into time slot

* cost of canvas/block/poster etc

*time spent photoshopping if any

Any takers? Or interested
