  1. Replaced a few bulbs in the daily with LED ones. All of the interior, doors, boot, rear license plate and front park lights
  2. Would that be the white one i see out by my place in West Auckland? I remember seeing it on the Fast 4's car yard a while back. Was down in Wellington at some stage too...
  3. Wayco low profile jacks are really good. Mate has been using his work one for over 5 years and its still sweet. Just recently got him a new one through work for him to use at home. Well priced as well.
  4. If you get stuck I deal direct with Exedy NZ. FJK-7350HD ( Heavy Duty ) for about $720 inc gst Price has gone up a bit since i got mine but still not a bad price compared to retail. Seems to handle my power level of 250kw pretty good.
  5. I could probably get you a Sakura one through work. I just cross referenced Ryco part # RCA152C and it seems like the right one. Did a quick calculation and it would be around $10+gst. Not sure how good that price is compared to retail? Will need to wait till I'm in the office to get confirmed pricing etc and to see if i have any stock out in our branches. If you're keen flick me a PM to remind me and I'll have a look into it for you.
  6. Not a Subaru but bought myself a new daily. GRS182 Toyota Crown Athlete. Have always loved my Toyota "VIP" cruisers. Had a Toyota Aristo V300 a few years ago which came factory with a 2JZGTE , that thing went pretty good for a big car. Since it's my daily it's only going to get the light mod treatment...lol. Tints, lowering and some nice wheels
  7. New oil, filter and sparkplugs......ready for my trip back down to Dtech next week
  8. I think i remember reading a while back that Alastair ( Raijin ) scored one of these for his Sti coupe....i could be wrong??
  9. So i went to move a hose today as i noticed it was sitting pretty close to the turbo, as i did it pretty much broke in half, felt pretty brittle from the heat. Looks like one end goes to the GFB EBC which i'm using as display only and the other to a t piece. My question is will this effect the car in anyway while driving? or is its main purpose just to give the EBC a reading?? is it best if i find something to connect the 2 ends back up? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff so hoping someone can help. Cheers
  10. Yeah +1 I would be keen as for it too
  11. Pic of the newly created RWB 1 Would love to see this in person!
  12. Damn you....please take some pics and post them up
  13. Anyone heading along to the RWB meet and greet?? https://www.facebook.com/events/1699846553571322/ Would be keen if i lived down that way!
  14. Yeah i think so aye. I got a couple of Process West bits from MRT Performance last year and freight was pretty fast but it wasn't cheap!
  15. You should do the work yourself if you can to save some coin. I have very basic mechanical skills and knowledge and i was able to raise the height on my wrx. My alignment was out after raising my car about 10mm all round. There's no way it would take 3 hours for a workshop to do it, not on a hoist anyway. You're definitely being taken for a ride. It took me roughly 2.5 hours to do it in my garage at home, only cause it was my first time ever doing it and i was being fussy and had to get the height just right.
  16. Haha +1 I embarrassed a Audi B5 RS6 recently....even surprised myself when it happened, the guy did the old speeding fly by afterwards too...
  17. These arrived today, $60 shipped and only took a week to arrive, cheers Ebay! Will chuck them in before my next visit to DTech
  18. Same here....I know what you mean by more alive when i went from 2.5 to 3 Look forward to putting it on the dyno and seeing how much actual difference it has made
  19. Gave the car a wheel alignment, balance and tire rotation before taking it down to the Leadfoot festival.
  20. Yeah dude. They are pretty much booked out at the moment so the earliest i could get in was the beginning of next month. Taking the day off work, will cruise down early and hang around and watch them work their magic
  21. Sorted my s**t out and booked the car in at DTech to get the tune tweaked, will be interesting to see if the new headers and bigger exhaust have made any difference or not
  22. [quote name='boon said: They just aren't worth selling at the moment.I mean say you got 14k for it, what on earth would you buy? Another V7 with a completely unknown history, or a bog standard V8? Yeah you guys are right. Not worth selling, especially since i've spent a whole lot of coin on it the past year. i might as well enjoy it properly. You've talked some sense into me. Even the Mrs told me to keep hold of it...i think shes just sick of me buying new cars, spending money on them then selling them not long after...LOL!! It is the 1st car i've kept longer than 3 years. Been having a good think about it and I'll spend a little bit more money on it and complete the couple of things that i would like done ie. retune at DTech, baffled sump etc. In the meantime i'll start saving some coin for a forged rebuild.
  23. Hey guys Have recently been thinking about maybe selling my RA and buying a new toy to play with. I'm not sure what the market is like these days but what do you guys reckon i could get for it? Below is a quick spec list - CUSCO coilovers ( certed ) CUSCO front and rear strut brace CUSCO front and rear sway bars CUSCO K Brace CUSCO brake master cylinder stopper FUJITSUBO 3inch exhaust TRUST 2inch up pipe SSI unequal length headers ATP GARRETT GT3071R ball bearing turbo MAC 3 port boost solenoid PROCESS WEST top mount intercooler and air splitter PROCESS WEST cold air intake with K&N air filter Silicone turbo intake hose DW200 fuel pump ID1000 injectors HKS ssqv blow off valve PROJECT MU HC+ front brake pads ENDLESS SS-Y rear brake pads MOTUL RFB600 brake fluid New Rotors Braided brake lines GFB short shift kit and bushings EXEDY 7350HD clutch Brand new 5th and 6th gear syncro and baulk rings, gearbox seals, spigot bearing, release bearing, neutral switch, new gear lever bushes, transfer case bearings. All done same time as clutch Full cambelt kit done @ around 184ks Serviced every 5000ks with Elf Evolution Full Tech MSX 5W30 Cons are that its just clocked over 190ks ( i know this can be a negative for some people but it doesn't faze me ), a couple small dings from carparks, passenger side monsoon missing ( have a spare replacement ) and SSI headers hitting the subframe ( haven't had time to get under there to sort ) Could do with another visit to DTech as well to get the tune tweaked to suit the new exhaust and headers. Cheers
