  1. There is also a place in CHCH called NZ rollcages and they pre bend kits for you, example a half cage kit shipped to wellington is $290.00 incl. Could be good to look at then you just need to find someone who can weld it up
  2. You would need a 6 point at minimum but in your case to keep the car road legal you require a 8 point which goes to the front strut towers. You just go get your MSNZ licence then apply for a authority card no cert required.
  3. The wheel is only to wide on one side and both wheels have been spaced evenly. So has to be a guard issue. Do any any of the wrx guards have a different style or you reckon it could be a repair? Maybe they have rolled it out a bit and then put some filler over which has lost the line. Car has been resprayed at some point so could be hmmm might have to get a new guard and get the roller out haha
  4. Hey all, I have recently put wider wheels on my car and it’s rubbing on one side. I have since noticed one of my guards (driver side) is slightly wider ? I have placed a picture below to show this. Just wondering if anyone knows the reason is one a WRX and one STI or has one been modified as the arch line seems to be more rounded also. Slim Wide
  5. I got the side mounts from Racetech with my seats and then got some rails from Scarles they seem fine and are able to pass cert so do not feel that they are 'unsafe' it does add up to be a bit but highly worth it in my opinion. if you were going to leave the fixed back seat in I would recommend hard mounting it for less movement though which I am doing now.
  6. Racetech dude, fixed back seats but no reason why you cant leave the seat on a mount and swap it for track weekends. I would never look back after getting one its comfy to drive to and from the track, FIA approved so you know its safe plus it supports local business
  7. cant make this one but could do the next one!
  8. @Andy_Mac maybe I should buy it and keep it on stand by until I do the FMIC haha. damn I am heading down a rabbit hole all the FMIC's are so expensive for a branded one, tempting to buy a good core and then a scarles piping kit for it. with a FMIC I will have to get a touch up tune? is it worth doing the 3 port solenoid while I am at it as well? haha here we go
  9. I was going to try stay away from it for another year just as i will have to go get a touch up tune etc and the HDI kits aren't for sale anymore so will either have to go custom or fork out heaps for a Mishimoto / Perrin kit.
  10. Good point! will ask, otherwise was just going to mount like yourself will ask them though as my top mount is still there as well
  11. http://www.mlracing.co.nz/radium-engineering-air-oil-separator-kit-subaru-wrx-sti-2002-2007.html This link for the product? Remember to tell @mlracing.co.nz you are a CS member for a special price
  12. Thanks for the links @Joker Think I am set on the Radium kit, it has the best reviews online and @Andy_Mac likes his so good to have feed back from a forum member. plus the added bonus of ML Racing being a sponsor are happy to do the best price I can find on it . not up to competitive track days as of yet so this should serve the purpose for playdays as well.
  13. @pedro do you know if that oval can is made from scratch or can you buy them? if you can buy them it seems like a relatively simple setup to piece together!
  14. This is what the Radium one says "The built-in heater keeps water from condensing in the AOS. And because water is more dense than oil, there is an integrated water trap found around the bottom perimeter of the can. This prevents water from descending into the oil pan if ever present. Furthermore, because the water is trapped against the heater, it will eventually boil and evaporate out of the system" So seems to be a good option
  15. This is all getting a bit over my head with octane levels etc ha ha! Think I might just go with the Radium kit which I have linked below and MLRacing are doing a disscount for me as well http://www.mlracing.co.nz/radium-engineering-air-oil-separator-kit-subaru-wrx-sti-2002-2007.html @pedro Tony just said due to the increased cornering grip now that I am running semi slicks I will find that a lot of oil gets hung up in the outside head if driving at manfeild. He mentioned I could go for a catch can setup which I can empty but isn't ideal due to potentially loosing more and more oil. Said he did not have any experience with the Grimmspeed AOS and to talk to @Andy_Mac about the Radium which I have done The other options he said was to speak with yourself and look at how he did his old set up or just run a typical catch can setup with 3 inlests (crankcase and the 2 head breathers but as I have just replaced my sump said it could be annoying to take off and weld a -10an fitting onto it.
  16. @Loren what setup do you have since you race yours
  17. The Radium is definitely the one I am leaning towards and has great reviews online as well! cheers mate.
  18. Cheers @Joker a few of those posts make zero sense to me but some good diagrams in there also. will keep reading
  19. Thanks @Joker I have briefly spoken with Tony along with a couple of other members, the Radium AOS is just under $800 so want to make sure I am spending my money wisely before I get it this week
  20. Hey all! At Flat nats I was getting a bit of blow by after doing about 4-5 laps and was pushing the car a lot harder than the time before. I have been told a few things like it can be quite normal for this to happen & having forged pistons normally makes this more likely to happen? I am not a expert in the motor area so please stare me in the rite direction if I am incorrect. I am wanting to help counter this either way and a way I have seen online is by getting a catch can set up or a AOS setup. can anyone recommend anything? for the AOS setup I know a couple of members on here has the Grimmspeed kit & the Radium kit. there is a massive price difference as well was wondering what people think is best? both owners of the cars love theirs. I am not worried about the price just want to make sure I buy a setup that is good TIA
  21. Hey mate! as above I presume its the Rev-D , I paid $1,195 for my wrx to be remapped in Wellington and to be honest its worth every penny!
  22. Hey all! There is a park up in Paraparaumu this weekend on Sunday at the Burger fuel. looks to be a big event held by Good2go media who were at Flatnats. They have Burgerfuel on board as well as a DJ playing all day and prizes https://www.facebook.com/events/307188270132700/ I will be taking the wrx for a drive to stretch its legs would be cool to catch up with a few of you again!
