Is there any real benefit to upgrading BH5 brakes from 2 pot to 4 pot front caliper or is it simply cosmetic?

Have them on my BE5, obviously can't compare them to non four/two pot. But it does stop really good even with average pads. Definitely doesn't feel the 1.5 ton that it is, really good feel as well. Will go for good pads when these ones die and possibly do brake lines as well.

Edit: also big red brakes look great and add 5kw.

[Dumb Question Thread!]

What exactly does an immobiliser immobilise? Battery? ignition?

And on that note, where does one get a alarm box key? (master key or whatever they're called) my car never came with one

[BE5 Brake light noise issue thing......]

I like your thinking. My car needs more doof doof though. I'll be the visuals, someone else can be the audio. Rolling rave RSKs aww yisss

[BE5 Brake light noise issue thing......]

Thought I'd use this thread instead of making a new one.

So electrics have been playing up recently (no bulb changed or anything).

Firstly my number plate lights stopped working (LEDs) after making my car a mobile rave and strobing like mad. This coincided with the interior lights (AC lights and drivers door lights and a few other buttons). Bought new ones and replaced blown interior fuse (number 12 which I believe is no plate lights fuse) this fixed the lights both inside and outside.

The next day however I got the same problem as was started on this post (clicking noise when braking) checked all the bulbs but they're fine (12w5v I think with double filament) . Then that night the spoiler brake light would strobe along with brake lights flickering, also the front parking lights (LEDs) would come on whenever the brake was applied

Not pushing brake obviously. BE5 light issue: http://youtu.be/kq-QbVxo674

... I'm not good w electrics...could someone give any advice?

Thanks in advance!

[Advice on Outbacks!]

Cheers guys. Ended up going for the 3.0L . Really nice to drive.

[Advice on Outbacks!]

Hi guys,

My dad's looking at buying an outback (4th gen pre facelift)

Just wondering if there is anything in particular we should keep an eye out for when inspecting. Looking at both 2.5s and 3.0ls. Also any advice from any outback owners on here would be awesome!

[Fuel question]

Thanks for the advice guys, will try 95 and see if it's worth it or not. Either way it's a hell of a lot cheaper to run than the Legacy

[What have you done to your car today?]

Installed replacement panel in legacy and replaced old chrome bumper with quarter bumpers on the esky, looks good!

[Fuel question]

Hi guys, not suby related but definitely old school. I have a mk2 escort with a 1300 carbed motor. I've always used 91 but wondering if 95 could be used to make it run a little smoother. Any help is greatly appreciated

[Fuel economy - can't have been a thread like this for at least several days :)]

I'm happy getting over 350kms to a tank.... Maybe an RSK wasn't the best choice for delivering pizzas...

[BE5 RSK front lip removal]

Na, split in half when I ripped it off lol. Was pretty dinged up anyway. If you were after one I could've taken a bit more care haha

[Dumb Question Thread!]

Dumb question! How come a BG5 Brighton Wag has a 6k limiter but a BD5 TS Sedan has a 7k limiter? Same engine no?

Could almost say it was EEZ

see what I did there

I see what you did there! It should read HRDWRK....

[BE5 RSK front lip removal]

Hahaha cheers for the help guys. In the end I just used brute force and it came off pretty clean.

Just need to scrape the stuff off and it should look like new!

[BE5 RSK front lip removal]

How the f do you get these out? (things next to rivets)

[BE5 RSK front lip removal]

 Marky said:

Just buy a blue bumper with no lip, it will be glued on and will prob look rude where it gets peeled off. People will pay a bit for the lip if you didn't want to keep it

The lip is fairly scratched now plus it has a big crack in it (right hand side on photo) so probably not worth much. Could the glue be cleaned up with a fair amount of elbow grease??

[BE5 RSK front lip removal]

Hi guys, quick question regarding front lip. We've moved house and the driveway is a b****.

I've taken out all the screws I can see to remove it but it seems like it has a sort of glue underneath? how do I go about taking it off. Cheers

[BE5 not running right, haaalp!]

Replaced the AFM not too long ago. Found dodgy coil which I replaced and it ran sweet for about 40kms then went again...

[BE5 not running right, haaalp!]

Not firing on one cylinder, put new spark plug in but still no go..

[BE5 not running right, haaalp!]

Small yellow plugs below intake manifold on sides on engine yeah?? If so then they're all fine.

[BE5 not running right, haaalp!]

Hi guys, driving around the other day and car suddenly became rough. Sorta like its running on 3 cylinders but they seem to be all firing. Car sounds like it has a really lumpy cam and it needs quite a bit more revs to take off. Assuming this is an ignition issue?? What do I check??

Thanks in advance!

[BE5 Brake light noise issue thing......]

Ahh thought it'd be that. Many thanks man, you're a legend.

[BE5 Brake light noise issue thing......]

Hey mate, finally found it. Checked the earth and the terminals but couldn't see anything. Then checked the bulbs again out of desperation and one was a single filament one when it should have been a double one...derp thanks for the help though mate . My turbo timer/voltmeter reads 12 on ignition and from 13.7 to 14.1 when on, is that alright?
