[Suitable Oils]

My car is a v2 wrx and i use Havoline 5w40. Would that be too thin then?

[Repair cost for a steering rack]

Yeah i figured that . I think i might take it somewhere else for a second opinion. All my workmates use this guy and reckon he is a great mechanic though. I should get him to show me the damage before he goes replacing something that aint broke

[Repair cost for a steering rack]

No oil on the floor of my garage. But there is a bit of oil on the top of the rack boot i noticed a while ago

[Repair cost for a steering rack]

So my car failed a wof because my steering rack is leaking apparently. It must be a slow leak though because my power steering fluid is still almost full.

Does anyone know what might need to be done and how much it might cost to repair.

The wof guy said he couldnt remember off the top of his head but thought the cost might be a few hundred.

Im going back to him on monday to book it in but dont want to get stung with a huge bill so close to xmas

[Will gc8 shocks fit a gf8]

I think i need to replace my rear shocks in my gf8 wagon but all the replacements on trademe say will fit GC/GF models. Are they all the same because i thought the gf shocks would be a little taller

[What can i do about a dispute with buying from the forums?]

I will PM the mods tonght when i get home. I dont want to name and shame yet as it might just be lost in transit. It would be nice to get a tracking number though so i can track it myself

[What can i do about a dispute with buying from the forums?]

Im not going to name them as it might just be lost and i dont want to tarnish their reputation.

[What can i do about a dispute with buying from the forums?]

Hi guys a few weeks ago i paid for some car parts from a member from here. He said he shipped them but will not give me a tracking number. He says he will track it down but then i never hear from him. I send him multiple PMs but no reply. Is there any way i can go about getting my money back from this guy?

[Question regarding facelift]

Damn so is the facelift bonnet shorter is it?

[Question regarding facelift]

Just a quick question if anyone knows. Will the gc/gf facelift headlights and grill fit properly with a non facelift bonnet?

[Does anyone run standard springs on a gf8]

It should look alright i guess. My tyres are 215/45 r17. Unsure of the offset but they stick out a bit. Just cant stand the scraping anymore

[Does anyone run standard springs on a gf8]

Random request but i just wanna see what a gf8 would look like with standard springs and big wheels.

Im pretty sure my wrx sits on superlows since i got it and i get heaps of guard rub even after rolling so i want to put it back to factory height. i like the way it looks now but when the kids and mrs are in the car it scrapes heaps lol.

[GC suspension into GF]

I always thought the gc and gf suspension was just a straight swap. I am thinking of getting these :

It says on the ad they are for sedan and wagon types.

[V8 bonnet scoop on a gf8]

That looks mean. I think i will just go for the v8 wrx then. I dont want it looking too over the top

[V8 bonnet scoop on a gf8]

Hey guys im thinking about bolting on a v8 bonnet scoop onto my v2 gf8 wagon. There is a guy on trademe that makes fibreglass scoops that bolt straight into the old holes. Just wondering if i should go for the wrx or the sti scoop. Is there much difference in size? And does anyone that has already done this have any pics of their car side on so i can see the size difference?

[Grinding noise when turning]

So i have had the car checked over and its not the bearing or the cv joint. Could possibly be the diff. Arghhh I dont wanna go down that road

[Second hand struts and springs.]

Im looking at buying a set of second hand struts with blue/green lowering springs on them. My car is already lowered but i think the previous owner may have just cut the springs because the are just black and very old and rusty looking. My question is are all wrx lowering springs the same height because i dont want the car any lower than it already is. My tyres are 215/45 r17 and i dont want to have to roll the guards if i can help it

[Grinding noise when turning]

So im gunna get the car up on the hoist pretty soon so the garage can see if it is the bearing. If it is what kinda price range do you guys think would sound right. i got quoted between $250 and 400 over the phone today
