Cheers all. Have ordered a break light, will pull the other bulb out to work out if it's the reverse or fog light....had always wondered why the lens was different on each side!

Slightly noob question (like all my questions...). One of the brake lights on my wife's BP (LHS) is gone so I need to replace it. A google reveals I need a 7443 base bulb, but haven't really found much info beyond that. Searching super cheap for 7443 doesn't bring up any options but googling does.... Does the bulb need to be red? (this vid just shows a white builb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRxHGrc0I3w) Should I swap to a set of LEDs if I have to replace one anyways? Where do people get their bulbs/LEDs from? The RHS white light on the boot that is a strip (?) is also nto working, so need to replace that too, but I don't what it's called in order to search for it!

@Dairusire @94 Leone Quit thread jacking:P Also, @morry10nz, this thread may be of interest

Hmm,I just dropped my car in as well and yours was there last time I dropped mine in...starting to notice a pattern here....

+1 for @Subirex Automotive, have also heard good things about Subtech and they were really helpful when I emailed them about things in the past. Probably depends on where you are based too. Subirex does after hours/weekend drop-offs, which is pretty much the only time I can take my car anywhere since I have a 9-5 desk job. And welcome to the 3.0R club!

Wait, are the buttons black too??

also, find a mechanic you trust that knows Subarus to have a look at anything you are serious about... I've had very mixed results with VTNZ etc... not sure who the go to is in Wellington, but someone on here will be able to answer.

After reading this thread I did a bit of googling, and this website, which is the service that collects from Repco etc... just says engine oil http://www.oilrecycling.org.nz/faqs/

@BadLuck steering wheel swap is easy,just need a torx 30 bit to undo the airbag and a 17mm socket (from memory) to get the wheel off. Make sure you disconnect the battery and let the system discharge first though (leave for 30 mins/pump the breaks etc) so the air bag doesn't go off. Need to make sure wheels are straight when you do the swap...It's very noticeable if the wheel isn't aligned when it has a flat bottom!

oops, I lumped you in with WRX crowd but forgot about the BPE you imported at a steal of a price!

Oops, not up to speed on the model codes for fancy 5th Gen legacies, haha. I only would have been able to name the liberal mufflers as they have the hideous square tips (:P) and the Wangan. "Impressive", my wife would probably use a different word....

Off the top of my head... @JGM Lowered silver outback @ADIKT Lowered black outback @1randomkiwi silver BE 3.0 @A_J_T Silver BE sedan, think it's a GT and her name is ruby. @sobanoodle Black BL9, which at some stage will have every available after market exhaust and suspension/handling component fitted to it. @delta 3.0 Outback (can't remember colour), has/will soon have a @V7STI1992 white BP 3.0R wagon with some sweet recaro seats. @Chase Black (?) BP GT wagon with tein springs. @Andy_Mac Blue BP GTB wagon with a sweet N7 dash isntall. @Invisible everyone knows his car.... @thewabbit1 white BH GTB wagon @whitebait19 white (?) BH lancaster wagon. @Teufel a BP 3.0R of some description @killervq30de a BP GTB, I think? no idea whether wagon or sedan... And @Kiwi_Fozze and @McDoof owned 3.0R legacies, but that was before my time.... And @Subru will own a turbo legacy eventually, he just doesn't know it yet.... There will be plenty more...these are just people who post regularly or have/had a 3.0R...I will have missed quite a few recent additions I think. Fixed it for you

hmmm, why did I think you have an RA...guess I just lump all you STI owners together....yet I could probably describe every single legacy on this forum, who owns it and what mods they have done, haha, priorities right? Do you still have all the vents in the dash etc..? I wonder if you would come out at a similar cost to doing roof scoop once install is taken into account? I imagine the A/C parts wouldn't be in particularly high demand so might be relatively inexpensive?

I thought RAs didn't come with AC to save weight and make it more racey? So it wasn't removed, it was never added in? But I'm a legacy man so don't take my word for it;)

@V7STI1992 Black on White is on point! Very nice!

His IG account is private.

I'd follow your dog #whippet #dogsofinstagram

My insta used to be photos of food and shows, now it's photos of my dogs and 6mo daughter...And nobody wants to see topless selfies of a (quite hairy) 32yo male who is past his prime, haha. Most of the accounts I follow now are food, shows and my friends who are posting photos of their babies...different life stages.... as noted, you follow what you are interested in.

Car : Legacy 3.0R 2004 Tuned Stock (for now....) Fuel : Gull Force 10 Tank: ~60L (guess based on fuel ups...) Fuel economy : 11-14 l/100km crawling in AKL traffic, ~9l/100km on trip from AKL to Waihi. Fuelly stats if known : -

Cool,not planning on doing anything illegal so might be pulling short of the red line! 2nd gear pulls for an auto so hopefully I can get most of the way through the rev range...

Is that after the Westgate exit? Upper harbour (sh18) would probably be good too based on when I drive home.e after the Albany meet.

"Honey, I'm just popping around the corner to do the some car stuff, see you in a day or two"

I also now realise this question is slightly redundant...for some reason I thought I needed to start a gear pull from stationary, which apparently isn't the case...think I'll just hit the NW motorway/upper harbour one night.

That's a long way to go...though it would ideal! Assuming I just need a motorway on-ramp that becomes it's own lane or something similar.

Random question, if you lived in central/west Auckland (Avondale) where would you go to (legally) do 2nd gear pulls for an e-tune?
