Yeah was awhile ago now, just found it on my laptop so thought id share it. Car had a slight miss in top end of 2nd in that vid though. Dyno showed 280wkw at 6k.
-
Thought id chuck up a vid of my wrx beofre i sold it for anyone that wants to know what 300ish kw looks like.

Do the newer 2.5 engines have the headgasket issue still?
-
Aww gutted as theyre mean pricing, only issue is you need to be 25 or older. I feel your pain with insurance though, they like to make it difficult sometimes(all the time)
-
not really "to" my car, more "for" my car.
new insurance. got my policy renewal through from state, my premium had doubled.
sooo, start ringing around. NAC don't want to know because it doesnt have an "aftermarket 5 star alarm", but the factory canbus immobiliser it does have, although more effective, isnt "5 star rated"
aa insurance quoted 1490, with a 400 excess, tower and ami and wont do it for the same reason as NAC, waiting to hear back from club auto
Try classic cover here in hamilton, they do good prices but you have to insure it for use of kms i.e 5,000kms of driving per year, good if you dont use it as a daily.
-
if you decide to go with a v7 top mount, i have a clutch master cylinder that you can use as the v7 onwards tmic hits the gc8 clutch reservoir
-
Yeah man go by service history if you can get one. Some cars will low kms have been thrashed to hell and back sadly.
-
Dont be fooled by kms to a certain degree, both my brother and i have owned subarus with 200kms and theyve been superb. I just bought a v7 sti for 9k....has 175km but is tidy and stock, runs really well too.
-
bought a new daily so did Christchurch to Greymouth via Arthurs Pass and return home via Lewis Pass to test the car out....went like a dream and beautiful scenery!
-
I have a bp legacy with 230,000kms on it and ive driven 20,000kms in 6months of owning it....everything is stock and orignal. No signs of wear and has a service history from brand new....nz new.
-
Subaru evo sti.....
-
Could go to your local polytech/welder school and give the boys a box of woodys to make it for you. Gives them a project and experience and you get the product. Just supply the parts....just a thought.
-
Pit stop be cheap as to do it, i did one on my evo for bugger all. Bought a flange and pipe and went to town with the welder.
-
I just bought a 2008 legacy gt auto and its super comfy and pretty quick. Done around 300kms driving and its averaged 10.2l per 100km so pretty good bang for buck. Dont think anything else out there could compare really with regards to price and overall package.
Stock ba xr6 turbos arent hellish fast but as its been stated they have great potential....if thats what youre after.
-
Any fabrication work id get sinco customs, well proven power results with warranty on his products. I had racefab do a manifold and ic piping amd it looked like a one arm apprentice did it.....and racefab is good company which was dissapointing.
For engine, personally id talk to the likes of gary capper as he had a daily 350wkw wrx and he said that his setup made it drive like stock/smooth and reliable. Or discuss options with who ever you have innmind to tune it.
-
Gonna be fun keeping it clean being black!
-
Yeah man ill be keen to go to another cruise for sure!
-
Sold my 300wkw wrx other week so been shopping around checkingout new cruisey cars. Found a beautiful well priced BP legacy so rest drove and sus\'d a deal to include free 2yr warranty. Paid for and picked it up this morning, how i looove a smooth quiet car and being auto makes it even lazier to drive. Is nz new and is a 2.5l turbo ome so pretty stoked, and being all black looks sick!
-
-
After owning my 300wkw wrx and driving it on the street i personally reckon a stockish v7+ with a decent tune is far more fun, i missed that feel of low down snappy power. And 300kw on the street is pretty extreme unless its used for track days and drag battles regularly.
-
Might be useful to have a search through the american subaru forum nasioc as they seem to do some amazing things with subarus and power

Should I get a Pre-Purchase Inspection?
in General Vehicle Discussion
Posted
Dont go to vtnz, people there have no clue what theyre on about and imo shouldnt even be trusted to do wofs. I had repainted my enigne bay on my wrx to make it look mint again and after their inspection they told me it had definitely been in an accident as the engine bay is repainted. Then they told me the chassis was dented and had structural damage. Upon my own inspection it was a little stone dent on an underbody brace that was bolted to the car, not chassis damage....muppets.
Take car to a good mechanic or even a subbie specialist, someone that knows subarus is always a good start and yes can save you in the long run.
