Due to what looked like a split in a hose and intercooler, can someone please tell me what part this is and how easy is it to fix? figure ill need to stick it on the tow truck and take it into macbuilt
Unless someone can tell me how easy it is to replace, and if someone has a part? version 5 RA rex

I have put an arrow on what I can see as a small tear which caused the spillage that then made the engine steam up. It never overheated on the gauge which I thought was strange at first I thought my radiator had blown its top

cheers for this, ill make a call and see what he says, just want to be sure i am not doing any damage... car feels ok, i have had this idle problem before and replaced a lot of damn parts adn it only ever partially fixed the problem, first time the engine light has come on however, but cannot get a code from it as its not flashing any sequence
-
Hey guys, got an issue on the version 6 ra wrx. Engine light is on (solid, no flashing). She has a v5 ra engine in. Idling pretty rough, changed the filter out a week ago and just drove her home and never turned her on till today so ugh!?
Any opinions on a good mechanic around here would be appreciated, I used to take her to Waikanae (lived there for a while) so the guy knew the car, but its a bit far to go now.

sweet cheers, just after i posted this i thought what am i thinking... charge the battery to make sure theres enough current to make the engine spark, such a noob question haha. Thanks again for the reply

Hi guys, just wondering if you can throw me a bone as to how to get my wrx version 6 RA going. Been sitting in the garage for 6 weeks after i went to Europe and now it just wont start, the electrics turn on and when i push the clutch in to start the engine i get nothing but this clicking sound (no real turnover), any suggestions? should i check the fuse box?
-
makes sense
and agreed!what function I do find particularly useful on is the ownership check
I always love putting in my details to see that \'yes you own this car\' haha
-
just putting my two cents worth here on carjam itself, i queried carjam about a car and the rego as they did not match, the response i received is often car jam does not have a picture or proper details of a car, therefore it just puts in the information close enough, if you look at car regos on there you will notice there are a tonne of cars (for example) where it says 1999 wrx v5 and its a bugeye pictured
so car jam acknowledge their database is not completely accurate over details

hi everyone, want some advice on tuning options... what it involves, what they do, how much approximately, and all the other opinions everyone must have
ie can you just go to a tuning specialist to flash the engine, what does a dyno do exactly or is this normally part of a proper tune for a suby
excuse the ignorance

not a wheel balance and tyre fitter in the kapiti region is there? have two tyres just need them flicked on (being cheap before I just go to tonys, they are charging $25 a tyre to balance and fit)
-
just thought id put this out there for any opinions, because no one can see into the future
as time goes on, not suggesting for one second that wrx prices will go up and the car itself will become a classic (minus perhaps the 22b), as more and more wrxs are wrecked and rebuilt and wrecked, if you were a crystal ball reader, do you think the wrx will be worthless ultimately one day
-
im sure there will be a lot of guys here that say what are you on about? its easy! But walked into super cheap the other day to look at car cleaning products, totally confused me... you need undercoats overcoats, after coats, before coats, shine, rinse, waiting for the temperature to rise to 16 degrees and polish with the special mother sponge and then use a leather cloth to finish off the shine, ugh, ended up coming out with nothing

V5/6, suby wrc blue, unmolested
Because imho its the most impressive and last of the gc8 classic shape that put subaru on the map
And because I drive one
-
Half. Sheesh. Figured as much however. It is a business afterall, just like taking in anything to cash converters who say they give you top dollar. But thats a joke if they did they wouldnt turn a profit i guess
-
Ive always wondered. And we all know this \'top trade in prices\' by dealers isnt as cherry topping cheese cake as it sounds. What cars have you taken in for trade in and what condition and how much did you get? Are there any dealers out there that will trade you in your car for anywhere near what it is actually worth?!
-
Or... you can ask the question for what you need on here! Its not as much a long shot as you think. Ive asked for a couple of parts and theres always someone who knows someone who might have a part lying around you are seeking

And the check engine light comes on but the engine sounds fine. Do you keep driving and check the codes when you get home? Or pull over and not drive it.

Are all type ra wrxs limited edition? (Wrx ra, wrx sti ra)

Buy a 1984 hondamatic. Problem solved

Haha the power of the interweb. No fkn cowboys!

Cousin david. Do you remember some guy who you sold a hedge line trimmer to a couple years ago and he had a blue ra v6 wrx. Anyways i decided to buy my mid life crisis car and purchased that.

i read somewhere here that copper sparks are actually the best. just you have to change them more often is that true?
so buying the expensive types seems like a bit of a rip at the end of the day???? or is it each to their own and whatever one person wants to believe lol

Copper does conduct better, but yes to require more frequent changes oppose to platinums
impressive mow. is that you zeuz? or is that freddie mercury

Agree with above. You really have to look for a decent one then look at the price. Do not want to buy a lemon and end up telling your wife you had to sell her plane ticket to buy that new engine
and agreed!
