  1. Anymore pics mate? from front and back? I was thinking of getting those wheels for my be5. Wondering how they fit..
  2. Sweet, thanks for the input guys. Figured the copper ones would suffice. I'm not fussed on changing every 10k anyway. The right tools should make it a easy job.
  3. Wouldn't the copper ones just not last as long? Think the marketing of the others are the mark up. Searching copper vs irridium says they overheat more than copper. Just wanting to know if they fit?
  4. Hey guys, I'm running single turbo setup with sti ecu etc. and need to get new plugs. http://www.dsrturbo.com/ngk-spark-plug_bcpr7es.html Will these do the trick? I'm gonna order some once I found out if they're ok. Don't mind if I have to change them often.
  5. sold it, thinking about buying a b4 with a Miss at high revs for under 3k. is it worth it? should be a easy fix, needs a little bit of paint work to..
  6. is it worth having a single turbo setup on the b4? theres one im looking at on trademe thats already setup. its running a sti ecu and was done properly. would it be faster than the factory twins? same on fuel? etc..
  7. Oh really, seems strange that even an exhaust tip can change boost levels and economy. Does it make it that much worse? Na I haven't experienced the VOD yet D-Style I think I can understand the points where you don't want to change etc so should be all good Cheers Kiwiflyboy but I'm up in Hamilton. I really want to have a close look and chat with someone that ones one go for a ride etc. so if anyone in this area could, let me know. Where do oil leaks tend to be on ej20s?
  8. Oh o.k makes sense again, So the Rev D is the best but not too much difference between them huh? Well that's good to know. Fitting up a diff back exhaust system just to get the car sounding better doesn't affect boost or fuel issues? Oh sweet as, it's not too much of a concern. Seems fairly similar fuel consumption to the car I'm using now. 300km+ haha plus the car is much newer which should mean its more efficient. It sounds like its worth paying the extra comfort and power on tap. Anyone running 240km+ in their ej20 and still running strong?
  9. Oh ok. Should have assumed it would have been over boosting issues. Will using a electronic boost controller fix this? So are the later Rev C/Rev D models that much better than the Rev B model? Wont be looking to get it re-tuned in the time I anticipate owning it The fuel consumption is my biggest hold back about this car, but is it that bad? I'm using the car mainly for long journeys and short runs around town. Probably 100km a week on general driving and 250km long trips every couple of weeks. What sort of km do these get off a tank? and how big are the tanks? Wont be heavy on the foot unless I need to, up hill or overtaking/merging
  10. Awesome, exactly the kind of info I'm after. What is the difference between Rev C, Rev D etc.. Does this have to do with the year of the car and the engine? I'm slowly building a list of things that should be checked or replaced if I get one: Check: O2 sensor knock sensor correct boost pressure for both primary and secondary turbo Clean oil pick up and turbo feed and return lines Clean air filter out Oils (Engine, Box, Diffs) Are there any seals or anything that tend to let go after a while? Do they run average or damage the engine/turbos with turbos back exhaust? Not really looking for something that's fast, just after something that's better than your average daily. I'm fairly sure the b4 is going to be this car. Sorry for the amount of questions. Will help to know what I'm getting myself into. haha
  11. Hey guys I'm looking into buying a B4 rsk Legacy after I sell a car and am wondering a few things. I've used the search function but still have a few Qs. If I buy a higher KM car (160-200k) are there any usual problems these cars have? My flatmate has a turbo Forester with over 200k on it and it runs fine... There's a few on Trademe for 5.5k or less that I'm interested in (manual ones). I've been in and around cars for years so have no problems with performing substantial services if I pick one up. Would it be wise to pick one of these up if they've got nothing wrong with them? What sort of servicing should I be looking at if the car is 190km+ Pretty excited to get into something different so just looking to hear from people that use the cars and live with maintenance and costs. Cheers
