  1. turbo? should be one cap on the header tank. if you have two caps, maybe your radiator has been replaced with a non-turbo variant (which is ok if the dimensions are the same) maybe the relief under the radiator cap is venting straight into the engine bay during normal engine operation. if so run a second rubber hose from the radiator cap relief to the coolant overflow bottle
  2. thread revive! so my '96 gtb has some 80% worn no-name tyres and it seems to handle alright with fresh sway bar links and strut braces front/rear. with little tread its a bit slippery in the snow as i found out this weekend haha anyway, due to a puncture i swapped a pair of 95% new linglong 215/45R17 @35psi onto the rear. holy ****. it feels like i removed the rear sway bar completely. the sidewall and tread flex is ridiculous. tug the steering at 100kmh and the car delays, then rotates from the central point of the chassis, then wallows back again like i'm on a boat (mother******) maybe i am missing a sway bar link. i'm going to check when i get home. surely DOT rated tyres are not this dangerous?
  3. It probably won\'t hold. Last time I had to fix that I threaded a brass pipe an tapped Into the plastic bov to replace the nipple altogether. Not sure it was worth the effort though
  4. there should be a large rubber bung or two in the bottom of the boot to help you drain it. no hints for where its leaking though
  5. what sort of warranty do you have on the car? the dealer would have checked the condition eh? (maybe i\'m naive to think this) or was it a private import
  6. like auckland? i dunno it just seemed like an unsubstantiated statement at 25k the belt should be fine. but since you\'re concerned its easy to remove the plastic cam covers and inspect for tension / oil / degradation and put your mind at ease
  7. there are a few options depending on the year and model. 260 is too small for \'99 turbo. 277 is a common size but from about \'97 the higher spec legacy\'s came with 297mm, the same rotors used with 4pot impreza fronts. remove a wheel and measure the total width of your rotor
  8. where? i thought traffic flow was generally pretty good in the main centres and more or less dead out in the country
  9. fronts for twin turbo B4? probably vented 297mm
  10. hah yeah it is gt5. i believe its GC8E2DD giving chase online IRL i normally hit public/private trackdays about as seriously as you would want to in a stripped but road legal impreza on semi slicks.

    Heads.

    in the \'sweet jesus\' thread it looked like they plated or otherwise mirror polished the area around the valves on the combustion side. what is all that about? also Rosssub, any further details on the V6 and BH5? what years and what model/revision was the legacy? thanks. i\'m making a list of the cam markings.
  13. i can barely carry one around.. closer to 70kg
  14. sorry i don\'t follow the prescribed time is set out in the manufacturer\'s manual. i don\'t want to quote because i don\'t know the suby specified time off the top of my head. we are talking minutes though i am assuming no actual fault. just that things where swapped over while power was still active which triggers a fault code in the airbag ecu - which can only be reset by scantool. this has happened, the ecu is now happy. horrah!
  15. that would do it. you should remove the battery power for a prescribed amount of time before working on airbag systems for safety reasons. also if airbag connectors etc are disconnected and reconnected while un-powered, no fault codes will be triggered

  17. at the risk of sounding retarded, are you sure its straight? i\'ve been through my pictures and it might be bent like that normally only one plane is visible in that picture. i\'ll google some more
  18. sorry Jared, irrelevant due to: what about when the engine is off? with gearboxes, no certainly does not mean harder. you can bend selector forks if you\'re too rough Na, tried with engine off. Doesn\'t want to select it at all. doubt its the linkage but could be bent selector fork or damaged syncro also, [quote name='JoKer said: not recommended, 1st has no syncro\'s] but it does?
  19. i\'ve been told that if an airbag module throws a fault code, it can only be reset by a dealer?
  20. what about when the engine is off? [quote name='STiNGR said: ..no matter how hard you push.. with gearboxes, no certainly does not mean harder. you can bend selector forks if you\'re too rough
  21. i tried lawnmower air filter foam. worked ok for a year or so then started to go a bit soft couple of trackdays later all good
