Hi guys
Going to go look at a 2010 Wrx Sti A line Type S tomorrow.
Its for the Mrs so that's why we are looking at the auto model.
Is there anything that i need to look out for on these models or are they pretty solid?
Looks pretty nice. Has the factory recaro seats and comes with the EJ25 but dont think it has the optional Brembos.
Planning for another addition to the family so hoping 2 kids seats fit in the back as well.

Took it off the market and have decided to keep it.
The last month has been painful, the amount of stuff arounds and time wasters I've had to deal with, I just cant be bothered with it anymore, plus the Mrs talked to me about it and said that its probably a bad idea getting rid of it as i will definitely regret it....lol!
Have been looking at rebuild options, will be staying with the 207 but definitely forged, just deciding if i want to go a step further and get cams as well......watch this space

Cheers Ajay for sorting out the lowering springs on my Toyota Crown today

This is where i got my ID1000 injectors from. Local, well priced and easy to deal with.
They were plug n play for my V7 Sti, used the factory rails....not sure about your V9 though??

So this turned up today. Lowering springs for my Toyota Crown. Ordered via Moonlight Racing on the 15th March!!
Next time i will do my own ordering from Up Garage, at least then I won't have to wait 12 odd weeks again!

Bought something off him last year, same as everyone else, good contact when trying to buy the part, after money received nothing, then random contact after 2 weeks then part arrives a few days after. Not the best condition and wasn't cheap either...i personally wouldnt buy off him again
-
Sweet. Both my V7 and Crown are $85

moonlight racing offer a service for buying through yahoo auctions. I don't know how much they charge...
I ordered some 2nd hand lowering springs for my daily, expected arrival end of this month which would make it about 8 weeks from paying to receiving the goods.
Murphy's law though....after i ordered and paid for them I found the same springs, brand new, shipped via DHL for only $50 more than what i have paid and i would have got them within a week or two.
My opinion is that it's a great service he provides, but not the cheapest or fastest. You pretty much pay three fees, the auction fee, paypal fee and then i'm guessing Moonlights fee as well.
Another example is a used front Cusco strut brace i found on Yahoo....through Moonlight it was going to be $235 shipped once all the fees were added, i found brand new via another site for $245 shipped.
I know Up Garage ship worldwide and to NZ through a 3rd party site that is owned and run by them. Haven't bought anything yet but might do in the next month or so and see what its like.

Sorry if this is bumping up an old thread but I feel this is seems relevant to what happened to me last Saturday and would be good for all other GRB owners to be aware of.
My car : 2008 GRB STI (JDM) – approx. 105,000km. Cambelt just done.
Full service history with Torque Performance from previous owner. Overall good condition.
Car is basically stock.
I chucked on brand new factory size Nitto NT05.
Serviced the car, did all brakes and diff/gbox fluids (Engine oil was Penrite Ten Tenths 5w30, probably a tad too thin).
Went to casual open day at Pukekohe, did 4 laps (2 warm up) then BOOM, big end bearings gone.
Got car towed back to Auckland. Looking at full rebuild or new engine and doing clutch while we’re at it.
Combination of semi slicks and stock sump likely caused oil starvation while cornering at high revs. Expensive lesson but definitely won’t ever be tracking a Subaru without doing baffled sump and thicker oil…….
I guess we’ll find out when everything is apart to see if piston rings and carbon were a contributing factor and the few laps on track pushed it over the line.
Weren't you selling one not long ago?? Same car or have you bought a new one?
Sorry to hear the bad news!!
The last track day i did at Puke i got in about 15-20 laps and had no issues. I did do a service the day before and topped up an extra 500ml as a precaution....this was in my V7 with factory sump.
Wonder if it is an issue with the first of the GRB's 2007-2009

Chances are Sakura lads make their filters in Jakarta along with a **** ton of other gen manufacturers.
Spot on there bro! Sakura is produced in Jakarta and as far as i'm aware, a few other manufacturers are as well.
At work I order thousands of filters from their Jakarta warehouse each month.
The filters are made to OEM spec and I've supplied them to all my friends and family over the years and have never had any issues.

Got nailed at BP the other day too. Was half way through the fill when I notices the price. 42c more for 98. WTF.
Same here. Thats how i discovered the new Mobil 98. Started putting gas in at the BP and noticed it was $2.01 for 98 so next time i drove 200m down the road and found Mobil was charging only $1.83!!
-
Its a shame you aren't in Auckland, i could have sorted you out with one of these for about $260 inc gst. I've got none in Christchurch at the moment.

I found the below on the Exxon website. This is for the Australian market but I wonder if they will bring the Special E10 94 into NZ as well?
Mobil’s new fuel products with an additive package:
Supreme+ 98 (98 Octane) is a premium grade petrol enhanced with a high quality multifunctional additive package for high performance vehicles. Supreme+ 98 is engineered for top performance and helps to improve engine responsiveness, engine efficiency, fuel economy and emissions.
Extra 95 (95 Octane) is a premium grade petrol that helps to improve engine responsiveness, fuel economy and emissions.
Special Unleaded 91 (91 Octane) that helps to improve fuel economy, emissions and provides corrosion protection.
Special E10 94 (94 Octane) contains up to 10% Ethanol that helps to improve fuel economy, emissions and provides corrosion protection.
Special Diesel is suitable for use in all diesel powered engines currently on the road in Australia. It provides a cleaner and faster fill and helps to improve fuel economy, emissions and provides corrosion protection

Stopped in at the Mobil by work today for some gas and noticed they have a new 98.
Instead of min 97.5 like it use to be, it now says it is min 98.
Is this a new thing or what? Don't normally stop in at Mobil for petrol...

oh wow! Right so he does road tunes now. That in mind, and him being the expert he is. Do you think I'd be better off getting a tune tech road Tune or driving down to dtech for a dyno tune?
I originally inquired with Tunetechnic and with his price i was better off going to Dtech and getting a dyno tune. If i remember correctly it was around the $800-$900 mark.
Plus he didn't seem too keen to do my car which had aftermarket turbo, injectors etc

Ah really EGR issues....mate is going through this at the moment with his Mrs VW Golf...im guessing its pretty much the same thing where it has carbon build up issues?
It will be her daily so dont think she will mind if it feels a bit slow and has no DCCD
Yeah, have been given the ok to get an exhaust and tune....as long as i pay for it...haha!

I had the idea that it was mainly the 07/08 models with this issue and it had been sorted by the 10 models??? I could be wrong?? The other option is to get the cheaper S-GT model which Mrs would be happy with as well unless they make an Auto EJ207 model Sti??
