  1. Have had mine for over 3 years with no issues. Mines all legit so have nothing to worry about if they did pull me over.
  2. Sweet, cheers bro, will give it a go tonight
  3. Whats the best way to test for an exhaust leak?
  4. I originally wanted to go with a Murch unit but he wasn't interested for some reason so i took my money elsewhere. In saying that, I'm happy with my ATP turbo.
  5. From what i remember reading when i was shopping for a turbo, the 1.5XTR were originally made for the the guys in the UK with 2L engines so will be sweet for our JDM cars. Should be a straight bolt on. When Tony fitted my stock location GT3071R he said it fitted mint with no issues at all. The ATP range could be another option you could look at, especially the GTX units with your budget.
  6. Have you checked subaru speed to see what they have?
  7. Looks good Spence!! Next time i'm passing by your work I'll pop in and check out your beast!!
  8. The 3inch Fujitsubo system i put on my car a couple weeks back sounds really good and no more drone!! Heaps quieter than the old RPS system that was on there but sounds awesome on WOT!
  9. All good. I live out West in Massey. Tonight i'm busy but anytime during the week after 6.30pm otherwise weekends are good
  10. I've got my old set of V7 Sti rims in the garage. They still have tires on them. You're welcome to grab those.
  11. Damn...i never thought about getting them off Partsouq, pretty well priced aye. I've always just got them off Ebay. With the IX i haven't had any problems so far ( touch wood ) I used them in my old 2JZGTE Aristo back in the day and that was sweet as well but agree with you on the coppers. I'm just lazy and cant be arsed changing them as often...LOL!!
  12. I've been using BKR7EIX with no issues
  13. Theres one on TM at the moment. Dont know if its the same one or not?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/engines/auction-931344888.htm
  14. oohh....will keep an eye out for this
  15. Oh yeah, that's right , the caged out black one. Was thinking of another one but same shape. Damn....nice turbo too!! Should go nicely with that unit on it!!
  16. Was that the silver beast sitting in your garage when i was there last?
  17. Hi guys Just thought i would share this with you. Not sure if you are familiar with it or not but its called JP-carparts.com and its a website to help you find the oem part numbers for your car. I've used it several times and its pretty easy to navigate. Just choose your model then model code. For example for my V7 Ra i would choose : Impreza GD.GG then GDB-4DH. It will then list all parts available for your car. I've also found that some parts not available or does not exist in the Partsouq system will be available on here. You can either purchase direct from their site or find the part number then buy it from Partsouq. I've found in some cases it will be slightly cheaper on Partsouq. http://www.jp-carparts.com/subaru/carlist.php?maker=subaru Hope this helps some of you out. Cheers Sakon
  18. Yeah i was actually thinking about that as the Spec C's don't have them do they?? [quote name='rex7 said: you can grind a bit metal off that brace, it wont hurt anything. I might do this if i don't end up taking it off and leaving it off.
  19. Hmmm thats what i thought too. Its sitting pretty damn close to it. Would a set of say, Group N engine, trans mounts and pitch stop help with the movement?? I've also been reading where some guys who have had similar issues have cut a semi circle piece off the brace where it touches.... I had a quick look this morning before work and it looked like it had been touching. Just a small mark. Will jack the car up properly tonight and have a good look. [quote name='evowrx said: Is that the nasty horseshoe deadweight hanging off the front subframe? You mean this thing.....if so yep! url=http://www.iforce.co.nz/View.aspx?i=yjwckqdk.krj.jpg][/url]
  20. So i took the car for a quick drive just now to check out a strange sound the car is making. Its making a knocking sound and i can feel it under my feet each time it makes the noise. This has happened after my header install. I remember feeling and hearing it driving home after fitting them. Could it be a coincidence? Its not all the time, just now and then. I had a quick look and i cant see anything touching but it definitely feels like something is. The headers seem to be really close to the subframe, maybe only 2mm gap between it. Cant figure out what it could be or where to look? Is it possible that my swaybar links are buggered? Or exhaust hanger loose after fitting new exhaust?? Any ideas? I'll jack the car up and will have a proper look on the weekend
  21. Awesome Eric!! Where did you score that badboy from?? Saw a price for them brand new when i was looking at oil coolers....wow.....expensive!!
  22. How much roughly are the Macbilt ones?? Baffled sump is the next mod on my list. Have also been eyeing up the Killer B setup with oil pickup but quite pricey once you factor in exchange rate, freight then duty.
  23. Was hunting through some old pics and found a photo of my old GF8 wagon from about 9-10 years ago! Man i loved that car....had some good times in it that's for sure!!
  24. Yeah man they are awesome wagons aye! I bought one a few years back before i got my RA. Mine was the K24 200hp version. Was pretty good on gas , huge boot and bonus being chain driven too. The only thing i noticed was that once it hit over 100,000kms it started to chew the oil a bit more. Apparently it's a common issue according to my Honda mad mate. Gave it to the Mrs to use for a couple of years and we just recently sold it. Here's a couple of old pics of it after i lowered it and fitted new rims.
  25. +1 Get a dyno tune I was looking in to the mobile guy but I wasn't confident in using him once i started an email conversation back and forth. For only a couple hundred more go for the dyno tune.
