Think I joined 2005/2006ish... recently back into the Subaru ownership game too, trying to relive the glory days! Have added a 2004 WRX STI Spec C WR-Ltd to the fleet. First Subaru was a 2004 WRX WR-Ltd, then a 2003 Spec C that got turned into a race car and written off at the ITM400, then built a 2002 Spec C into another better race car which I sold post Covid and naturally have regretted ever since! A reunion at some point would be good value. BT

I'm keen to get the info off you please Josh if you're happy to share. [email protected] Cheers BT

I'm also keen to find out how you've gone with this? I've been keeping an eye out for Spec C's in Japan, some nice standard low KM Sti's have also been popping up, but a bit worried about getting an SIV for them. Cheers BT

Unfortunately my car wont be ready, will come out and watch, maybe bring another car.

Might come out for this one..

Had an ECUtek tune on my v8 spec c from WRC and was perfect in all respects. Being ex wrc engineers and still tuning for Ralliart etc. you can't really go wrong, and you do get what you pay for with years of experience.

Haha

Ha I know that feeling Chris, I do exactly the same with the spreadsheets... I\'m into six figures across both cars unfortunately which makes it really fkn depressing, particularly when you work out the cost per lap!

Might as well throw mine on! http://www.btmotorsport.co.nz/2012/03/process-west-v-mount-e85-tune/

Generally speaking it\'s up to the owner of the individual service stations, not BP, to come up with the cash to replace the tanks and equipment to suit 98. Most being small business owners don\'t have the want, desire, or $ to make it happen. However in saying that it happened in New Plymouth after years of talking/complaining to the service station owners so keep on em!

Hey Guys, Research tells me that an 01 Legacy GT fuel tank is 64l? Do they have fuel lights? I\'ve only filled up once (from empty) since getting the car, where the needle was below empty. Took a total of 53l, and I only got 370km out of the first tank. If the tank is indeed 64l then I am guessing I have a faulty FLS...? Either that or my mileage really is shit! Cheers BT

He speaks the truth... Quality is worth it though!

Will do, bugger I missed last Thursday! Hadnt been online for a week and didnt see it...

How often do the local clubs run events? track/autox etc?

Yup in Wigram. Quite surprised with value for money on the wagon... 125km waterpump and cambelt done, immaculate condition inside and out for age, and all for $6.5k!

Legends, thanks guys!!! ;D

Hey Guys, I\'m now a part time Cantab.... Will be here most weeks from Wednesday through Sunday. Have picked up an 01 GTB E-Tune as a daily for down here. Hope to have the Spec C down soon once I sort storage space for it, and looking forward to hitting the SI tracks. Looking forward to meeting the local crew and going on a few cruises etc or other events, have missed that side of things with a track only car for past 5 years! Cheers BT

$9.95USD for that one...

Anyone have a link? The ones stickied dont work... Cheers BT

Have a full V8 front end incl Bonnet, scoop, front guards, bumper, STI lip, grill and headlights, all in white and as new condition, $2k located in Napier.

Good exterior video of launch and a couple of corners from weekends activities: http://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/7421224/Fast-fun-aimed-at-all-the-family

As Tony said slip joints and HPC...

Any late model ute or van (2005 onwards) 2.8l or bigger diesel turbo will see you right. The newer utes are more car like in the interior and driving and are fine for daily drivers. I've got an 09 Mazda BT50 and it tows like a dream, takes me no longer towing circa 3 ton of trailer, car, spares etc then it does driving anywhere normally. Not bad on gas either, circa 450km when towing at least 600km normal driving.

Boon- It will handle ~ 230kw no problem, proven up to 300kw in Australian heat, and our 230kw race car in NZ with no issues! As you say though, any TMIC will be affected by heatsoak if your not moving. Our Process West V Mount should be here in the next couple of weeks, ready to go on the new car, with an E85 tune to see what the old girl can do ;D
