Keen. Could be an excuse to install my rear control arms and roll my guards....
Keen to see this, need to sort my guards out too. This could be a good information gathering day

Sometimes when I run over the neighbors cat it makes a similar noise.
Sorry, no idea.

Managed to get out and about and see how it drives on the open road, so polite, so smooth. Stoked with how it handles now that its on coilovers, not shabby at all.

I cant see any issues, should be good to go. by the look of that one on TM it is an old Rage unit so the flange maynot fit with the stock mid-pipe. little things like that you have to keep in mind.
@evowrx If you have a moment proof read the above banter. chur chur

Pretty sure you're cruising with a vf of some sort so shouldn't be an issue but others on here are far more knowledgeable than me so hopefully they can confirm.
single scroll vf that is

Never personally done it, but I think on these there is a flange just after the L bend that you can remove and kinda bash away from both sides but I wouldn't count on a perfect result without cutting it up. Personally I'd either buy a proper bell-mouth decat downpipe, or cut the cat out and have a section welded in.

Just hang a bag of Whiskas on the tip bro. coax that sucker out in no time. Unsure how to get a cat to wof though. thats mostly a dog thing.
......Sorry, I'm more sarcastic that usual on a friday... You can bash them out with a combination of tools or cut it out entirly and weld in a new section but thats a whole other set of tools

@A_J_T you going to start posting in here now? Btw if you didn't catch what I said - both your tail lights are out...
Yea I got it haha, funny how I checked everything on the car before purchase but not the lights
. Also I guess Ajay was on it re the taillights triggering the traction control dash light. which only happened when i flicked the lights on now I think about it... Will have a look tomorrow when its no so cold out

Anyone know anyone who can get hold of rpf1's?
Hyper dont want to know if its not 5x114......
Email these lads https://www.adenstyres.co.nz/ Been getting prices from them via email and they're super onto it. Unfortunately their website lets them down a little and they seem to be a little pricey but thats hard to tell considering I've got no one to compare them to, Hyper also dont have the wheels I want

Price range?
1800-2000 unsure how thats related though?
4 hours ago, lasersooby said:Hi, try these guys. They have been awesome with my purchases. I am in Palmerston North and HyperDrive are in Auckland and they have shipped everything at minimal cost and the tires or the rims are priced well.
Yea, will consider them. But I'm not a fan of their work to be honest.
Cheers

Looking to pickup some new wheels for the wago when I get one. Any recommendations for places to shop. not interested in second hand, just want to pickup a set without getting taken for a ride.
So far i'm probably going to pickup a set from https://www.adenstyres.co.nz/ unless someone has more information for me. anyone dealt through these lads before?
Cheers!

Def get legacy ones and match with legacy or adjustable upper control arms
Contacted 3 wreckers so far and they all reply "Sorry sold" EVERYONE'S lowering their outbacks!
Was trying to get something along the lines of these https://www.redlineperformance.co.nz/product/hardrace-subaru-legacy-rear-upper-camber-arms/

@JGM @ADIKT I don't have an outback yet but the day will come and when it does I have no interest in being in public with it at standard ride hieght so working on gathering the required parts already.
In regards to the bump stops, do you think I could trim them down or just forget it and try find some legacy stops from a wrecker?

Yea mate, this has been in the planning for longer than you know haha.
2 hours ago, JGM said:But in all seriousness, the larger/wider you go - the less room for tyre. I tried to keep the rolling diameter as close to factory as possible on my 8.5s which meant a 225/45 tyre, and that rubs on the inner guard liner at full lock (at my height that is).
Looking at 8.75 with 235/40 tires. But probably need to get a car to test fit before I get too carried away. Test drove an 04 today, pretty happy with how the 3L goes aye.
2 hours ago, JGM said:Basically you need to cut the plastic flare that lips back inside (approx. 15-20mm), cut out the lower fixing point of the plastic flare and have all four corners rolled/hammered...
Will you be at the Westgate meet next @A_J_T? If so, you can have a better look at mine.
Yip got all the details on massaging the guards, cannot wait
Probably wont make the meet but keen to checkout your car in person again and have a better look at wheel fitment etc.

Off to the snow this weekend, but dont let that hold you lads back.
Sneak peak into my week. guards are alot different on this 04 model than what the INTERNET has told me. But so far its all good differences
Cheers @ADIKT Guard roller works a treat and didn't even need to lengthen the strut
