Bad fueling is probably the quickest way to destroy your engine. Is $100 worth the risk?

Ive seen both 65 and 73.8ft/lbs depending on model/year

Washed it. Shiney!

I wonder if it\'s just because you\'re doing 10+ laps at a time and your rotors aren\'t handling the strain of this. Becoming weakened and brittle so they crack once cooled/while cooling down. There\'s a lot of difference between doing spirited road driving and doing 200km->60km hard braking over and over again I\'ve done ~6 trackdays, 1 with two pots, two with 4-pots and three with brembos and have never cracked a rotor, but I only do 5 laps per session generally. Ducting as previously suggested is probably your best bet

I\'ve only seen a couple in NZ but in the UK and USA there are plenty

You need to thread them all in very slightly before tightening, if you do up one most/all the way before putting the others in it makes it far more difficult

Is the pipe wall thicker / multi layer which is absorbing more noise?

My father has a ?2010? xr6t. He likes it, and it is fairly grunty (more power than an STi but also more weight so in a straight line they feel similar). I\'m really not a fan of the interior but otherwise a nice vehicle. His previous car was an xr6 non-turbo and that blew the heater core just after the warranty ran out (expensive fix), but the xr6t has been trouble free thus far as far as I am aware. It\'ll go through tyres faster than a legacy, from the impression I get from him.

Some pix Just over half the cars: So that\'s what that\'s for...thanks Joker! :

probably trying to make money off ya mrs. If it drives good and don\'t slip then there is no reason to replace it! Lol were did you take for a warrant? I dont think this bush would be Leaking would it? Just be worn out. And if the clutch feels fine to you leave it. VTNZ told my dad he needed a new brake bias valve once, so he went to get one from nissan and his car didn\'t even have one. Took it back to them and they went DOH and gave him the WOF haha The control arm bushings are grease/lube packed/filled, at least some of them

Will see y\'all there

Yeah looks like a big coil. On some sti\'s etc. My brain tells me it\'s 26mm

I just replaced the whole arm with a second hand one on my legacy. Much cheaper and only requires three? bolts worth of effort instead of having to get the bush pressed out etc

STM and "money is tight" = incompatible. They certainly do good work, but they charge accordingly. Still ~$30/hour less than Armstrong Subaru, at the end of the day ;D

Changed spark plugs on a non-subaru - well that was easy!

Should be there

Wtf!

Yeah repco/supercheap etc monumentally cheaper than dealer

In! (Provisionally)

Oh, sorry misread. :-[

I presume, based on no actual knowledge of the reasoning behind the power steering cooler, that because the RS is likely 200+kg lighter than a v7 sti, the power steering will be having less of a work out in all conditions so shouldn\'t get as hot

The GFB atomic works well. Not sure how much boost is safe for a td04 though, probably not much - do these have boost cut? If so you\'ll be limited to around 14psi regardless

Yeah you CANNOT physically fit a macbilt one to a version 7 (fyi) without removing the headers. We ended up just removing the engine as I\'d rather do that than the headers tbh. You can get the factory one on and off but you can\'t get the right angle getting the bigger one back on. The design of the moroso is very similar to the \'standard\' macbilt one, just looks prettier as they are \'mass produced\' instead of \'retrofitted\'. I doubt there is any difference in performance between the two

But the poor widdle criminals have rights! Sigh.
