Finally finished getting the car in the state of maintenance and performance that I've wanted it for the past 5 months of ownership. Waiting on new rear shocks to come but other than that and some aesthetic stuff all done. Had it tuned by Dave @ TuneTechnic at the end of last week and couldn't recommend him more highly. Great guy, really knows what hes doing and spends the extra time to get the best and safest out of it. Quick little pic from yesterday after a drive out to anchor bay and across woodcocks, waiting for my friends proper photos!

Yep but they didnt let me in today was a bit early i think haha

Found a place to stay, will be there all weekend!

At the eggfarm next door? I did a couple nights there. Its alright as long as your tent doesn't leak hahah probably worth investing in a better one

I worked the car park in 14 or 15 cant remember which but the guys that run it are good guys, easy to get along with. Dont have anywhere to stay this year to go..

I get those emails, but I search anyway!

everyday get home trademe: sti sort by: newly listed scroll sleep repeat ... find car buy car repeat anyway

Already emailed you! Cheers

Hi guys Does anyone know of a freight forwarder or similar that can receive a package for me in Japan and forward it here to NZ? (A package about the size of 2 shocks haha) Cheers

I've found even some of those large microfiber towels from supercheap/warehouse/etc. go a long way in terms of value for money

that looks like its from an animated kids movie...

I guess ive been lucky. Filled up twice this week no issues out west on 98

If you know the part number you can search it up and check the minimum thickness recommended so you can determine whether to machine or replace. BNT usually give a good set for a fair price. I got some oem brembo replacements for my v6 golf there for about 90 ea and those were quote big vented and what not.

?Yeah I had PS3's on a wrx a couple years ago and they were good but these really feel a lot better. although this is a totally different car and way stiffer so.. haha

I've had some pilot sport 4's now for over a month and loving them

Yea, bought it up from chch. ~128kms, pretty stoked with purchase! Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks guys. I have already explored these options and actually gave the dealers part numbers to order and they still struggled to figure it out. (They told me there wasn't stock but i pushed for them to check again and finally had one piece quoted). To cut a long story short I was lucky enough to take ownership of an s203 just over a month ago. It was imported in 2014 with an aftermarket front bumper and has a broken LHS wind deflector. I want to return the front end to stock which as far as i can tell is a v8 sti bumper (57702FE060), air dam skirts (57742FE000MJ, 57742FE010MJ), grill assembly (91121), carbon front lip (ST960204S120) with an s203 badge (ST910534S030). The air deflectors are 63531FE021 and 63531FE031. What I am unsure about is if these part numbers encapsulate all the parts I need as the drawings in japanese are great but not entirely understandable! I want to try get a bumper and grill here as I know the price to import will probably be ridiculous. I already know from when i had a v7 wrx how difficult it is to find bumpers.. haha I have a price on the front lip(~$600) and have ordered the badge to start. My most recent communication was tokyo subaru telling me they have bumpers in stock ready for painting and winger telling me they are no longer available, then I never got a response back. You should probably just tell me to stop moaning and call them to sort it out but any advice is still appreciated.

Hi guys Long time lurker, first time poster here. I'm trying to order some parts from Subaru Japan. I have been in contact with them and know they have what I need however I need to order through a dealer here. I have been through a couple of winger branches in Auckland and, quite frankly, found them to be not very helpful at all. Can anyone recommend a dealership/parts department that knows what they're doing? Cheers
