[What have you done to your car today?]

Yeah id be keen on one of those too, I need to upgrade my fuel pump anyway in preparation for eventual ECU/Tune so might as well.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Turbo models have 60l tank owners manual said so

Inc reserve? 7-8L on fuel light seems quite a bit.

[What have you done to your car today?]

I thought mine didnt have a low fuel light it since ive had it on the empty line a few times with no light. I found out it does have one however after coming back from the coromandal, and that its also hidden from my eye line by the gauge pod on the steering wheel thing...Was a bit scary seeing it on and havign no idea how long the light has been on for.. Filled up 53L, anyone know how big the GC8 sti tanks are? v6?

[What have you done to your car today?]

Got my old pink rims fitted with second hand dunlop 03G semis, plastidipped them black.

Really need ot get my spoiler refitted..

[Brakes suitable for trackday]

Yeah, im pretty sure thats what helped cause it/why i keep cracking rotors too. Though I bough the pagid yellows which seemed to help last time, and now have semi slicks for next trackday in april, so might pull the abs plug out and try that as well.

Yeha I was doing warmup/down laps not using the brakes and rotating the wheels while parked up with handbrake off. The pad to the bottom had even less meat on it, like 1mm or less.

*the pad in the middle is just an oem style pad for comparison*

[Brakes suitable for trackday]

I must be hard on brakes bendix ultimates after 2 trackdays in a stock sti on road tires.

[Brakes suitable for trackday]

+1 pagid, tried bendix ultimates but found them ****, only lasted 2 trackdays before completely melted. Worked ok for the first couple of laps then turned to ****.

[Genuine EJ207 STi Replacement Short Block is not forged]

Winger North shore, and I think Greenlane as well, told me they couldnt get new v7 sti blocks when i asked last year

[V5/6 Abs plug?]

THIs one?

It just kinda pulls over

[V5/6 Abs plug?]

I think mine just had clips on the side you pull to the side them it pulls out. I remember it being rather difficult to get off though. Ill take it off and grab a pic if you still need to see it.

mine was 150@wheels completely stock on hub dyno

[GC8 intercooler spray kit]

if you dont have the factory one then you will have the abs gear in the way since those models dont have abs. i just unplugged the rear wiper and redirected that pump to spray water. strongs can do the button, it was like 50$ i think so didnt bother.

[Find my Phone App]

Theres a few 3g gps trackers on ebay/aliexpress that have tons of positive reviews for ~$50. I keep meaning to get one but forget. Has realtime tracking as well for just the cost of keeping the sim card topped up. Can do the txt for gps as well, but as far as im aware the data cost is **** all.

[Dumb Question Thread!]

I remember before about reading about GC8/GF8 rear strut bracing compatability and some people saying yes wagon brace will fit sedan ok?

Which of these is most likely to fit?

Bought a headunit for it since the pioneer that was in it is a bit old and scratched up. Bluetooth calling is nice, but its actually slower to read/start playing music off my ipod than my old one. WOnder if tis to do with just using USB on this one, and a proper designed for ipod cable/port thing on the old one.

Really need to get a proper gauge hood.

[What have you done to your car today?]

For now, yes. Im kinda liking being able to see out the back window...

Also swapped over the locks form my old boot to the new one so I can actually open it with a key now. Only other issue with the boot is without the wing it springs up so fast when you realse the catch if youre not careful itll take your face off.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Rear end looking a bit better. Pulled out the pushed in corner and repainted/alighned bootlid.

Good to hear! At least Marc had the professionalism of doing everything right and even checking your AFRs. I bet you would have saved $1000 easily! Which is a tune!

Im pretty sure hes quite sick of seeing my car now, but yeah very happy with it. Its in at the panelbeaters now getting the rear end damage pulled out and straightened up and my bootlid painted. never ending money expenditure it seems.
