Got the wago sitting nicely man, I need an Outback If no one else gets this I guess i'm obliged

Maximum SATURATION! Looks like a good cruise group.

Plenty of room there, just do a walk through first aye. could be chunks of concrete or other nasties hiding. I only checked the area i parked in..

For those that are in Auckland: http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/environmentwaste/rubbishrecycling/Pages/hazardouswaste.aspx Also looks like this was a flop? https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/antifreeze-recycling-scheme-launched

Chur thanks. I'm sure someone will know as soon as they see it, if we dont get any takers i'll add a clue later.

Old: Becroft Dr, Forrest Hill New: You own a Subaru, pic has to be taken on the grass! Ps. dont sit there too long, there may or maynot be a burnt patch

Might do a cheeky run tonight

Yea honestly not sure, it appears some have got them working as you said. @blayzdnz I do have a Tactrix myself so if you get stuck or just cant be bothered messing about just lmk

dw, I'm sure it has nothing to do with your ride. I mean slammed outbacks are basically red convertibles..

Not unless you've recently got a mean tan, picked up a sizable lass and had 2 kids... and curbed your wheels... everyday since i last saw your car. It was actually parked behind a nice red Alfa Romeo 4C Spider

Yea, dont think thats going to work. Also i assume your car is indeed a Rev-D? If you are interested in getting one of the above flashed on as a one off thing then there are a number of people around with the Tactrix gear "Location depending"

I've seen a black one in Parnell that is filth, looks like someone did a nice job of it and then an absolute animal has hot their hands on it. curbed wheels, never been washed, scrapes on every corner.

Do you have a Tactrix cable?

But actual, i once did a bit of research on this myself. porting and polishing was a Lad way of obtaining a couple extra hp on the old NA stuff. You could go to town on heads, intake mani, just anything that stuff flows through and reap real world gains. Dad always loves telling me how he spent weeks polishing the guts of his old Corolla and then dialing in the twin throat carbs to the point it was a weapon... what a Lad! cough cough.. and im sure thats still the case with high performance engines where all bottlenecks are taken into consideration. However, on boosted platforms such as a simple EJ with a VF porting and polishing intake manifolds and heads can be counter productive. to the point that the rough surface inside some housings and intake plenums can help keep air flow consistent? idk. regardless forcing air through somewhere is entirely different than pulling it through. That being said i have ported my baby P20 exhaust housing, wastegate hole and matched it to the up-pipe... just for the warm feelings basically. I dont believe it helps alot, and if it does we are talking less power difference between a humid muddy day and a fresh winters day. I think alot of this kind of thing is common sense stuff, go to town on making things tidy and port matching etc. but dont try get mirror finishes on a 65mm TB when you're running 2.5inch intercooler pipe.. idk bad example but eh rant over.

It helps you sleep at night

Have you got a v7 sti short block going in? stock block wont go there. Regardless, there has to be a weak point. imo rather have the clutch slip a little on a gnarly launch than saying goodbye to your gearbox.

You know it

@Dairusire Spotted far from home, you lost bro?

Pick-A-Part If the Wastegate is actually stiff then you might need a new housing. I have a P20 and P18 lying around. also a spare actuator assembly if you get desperate. You can often find blown VFs for under 100

Single Turbo conversion, V7 UEL Exhaust Manifold.. The twin turbos will never really have that iconic suby rumble because the exhaust manifold is an odd length, only time they actually sound nice is over 4000rmp when it goes parallel, then its more of an equal length sound. other than that they just sound very hollow imo. But there are performance benefits to have, so there really is no drawback to de-cating and freeing up flow a little. Decreasing exhaust back pressure can cause boost spiking and what not so either get a tune if its Rev-D or find a good boost controller to manage boost. You don't want to run higher boost, but a good EBC will help bring boost on earlier and hold on longer, then you reap the benefits of the decat etc. Edit: Other posts suggest it is a Rev-D. Add breathing mods and go for a tune. Hi flow panel filter + de-cat downpipes and midpipe. Straight through muffler and tune for NZ 95 or 98. Being an import it will be detonating like a mofo

I have some in my bits box somewhere from removing BBOD if you need. also whenever at Pick-A-Part grab some of the nice black factory vac lines and T pieces if all are in good condition. Also, http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/turbos/auction-1278355988.htm

Sexy?

@willisnz Mate, that is rather impressive

Even for race it should stay imo, I know of race cars that specifically have it either added or keep it for fogging in damp cold conditions and keeping your wits about you in the hot summery days. sure it depends on what you are racing but as far as a street legal WRX goes i don't see the benefits of removing it. That said some people never use AC even if they have it so by all means remove it eheh. i love taking both sides of these scenarios.. its just unfortunate that you as the current owner now need it I have no idea how hard it is to put AC back in, someone on here can give you the details. Removing it from a car from pick a part and getting it back into yours might be rather easy but then you may have the costs of re-gasing etc. Just not sure.
