    What have you done to your car today?

    Hmmm, well, great day for me. Last night cars temperature nearly hit red line. Fortunately for me have today off work.Checked header tank and sure enough it was empty o.O Chucked water in, checked hoses and surprise of surprises there was no leak!!!! Then I noticed water dripping from heat shield on left hand side and thought 'this is strange' so jacked car up and lo and behold there was dripping which explains where all my water went! So I'm figuring it's my water pump. Contacted SAS who said it should have been done when cam belt was done (obviously) but the workshop I bought the car from said they did the cam belt when I bought the car some 40,000k ago. So Richard and I have worked out that they probably did do the cam belt and didn't bother doing said water pump. Probably why the garage has since shut down. FML. Anyways, have chucked bars leaks in as has water pump seal conditioner so hopefully it'll hold until I can afford to get new water pump. And this is my picture

    Bugger!

    Once I get RS up and running, Im thinking I might lower the Outback!

    Was going to raise it, but I think at this point will buy a set of Bilsteins to throw in while I decide exactly what to do with it.

     

    What year is your Outback?

    I have some Bilsteins here that the fronts do not fit a BH5 because the top hat stud is too short.

    So probably facelift BL/BP?

    Found this:

    http://www.rs25.com/forums/f9/t97335-gold-wheels-color-codes-compilation.html

     

    Which has some colour codes for rims, not as early as I was looking for but a good start.

     

    Brembo calipers STI: 2001 Honda Civic Coupe gold INCA: CHY61P
    JDM STi v7 Wheels: W083G or volvo 451 (near of original) color yellow gold met
    BBS gold STi 2004-2006: GK1 or Dupont F9657
    RS 98 Gold wheels: 2C2B
    OZ Rally Gold wheels: 57E81203 (lighter) or 7E81202 (darker)

    That JDM STi v7 code is probably the code they used, as they are v7 STi rims.:D

    Autocross/Motorkhana May 17 2017 Sealed Course

    Fair enough reason. Wasn't sure at what stage you were at with it. 

     

    Not sure if the legacy will be going by then either. Don't think the outback would handle the course too well. Will be going out there to have a look so if you want a ride just let me know. Otherwise might see you out there.

    Stage is pile of parts no attached to car, so about stage 2 of 10.

     

    I would take the Wagoon or Doom in it, but all the rear suspension bushes are worn out, and I need to do that before flinging it at corners.

    1970 Hillman Hunter, same colour as the one below, without the flash Harry vinyl roof!

    Taught me a shitload about cars that thing did, like what Ackerman steering geometry is, and how to change a complete diff in 30 minutes...

     

    It managed a 1m42s lap of Ruapuna too, was very not stock at that point tho...:P

    hmm im not sure, i think the nut is past being saved...

    I might get my mate to weld an old socket onto the nut and then undo it, probably the only way...

    Try those things, I have some similar ones and they are teh shizz!

     

    I've had them since my Valiant days, if you think anything is stuck on a Subie, think again, a Valiant has had 25 more years of abuse to really f#$k things up!

    Primary wastegate porting

    in Canterbury

    Posted

    From memory when my primary was off the car, which may be the spare you have anyway (?? my memory is shite tho!!) or was that the secondary? anyway I think the wastegate flapper opens past 90 deg when its disconnected, so it may be able to be bored in a mill, which any engineering shop with a mill ought to be able to do.

     

    The one on the Track Hacks TD-05 does anyway.
