Hey Guys!
Long time no post, haven't been in the Subaru game since I sold my Legacy (mega regret)
So my mate has a WRX V6.
He bought a downpipe from TM and we went to fit it a couple of weekends ago. While we were at it, replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets and also the turbo-downpipe gasket.
New downpipe was installed, but didn't line up with the mid pipe at all so a dud.
Long story short, went back to factory downpipe (with new gasket) and bolted everything back up.
When driving, changing from 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 clutch is pushed in, but revs would keep revving higher (as if the accel pedal was in, but it wasn't)
O2 sensor on factory DP hooked back up, downpipe - midpipe all snug and fitted. Could it be that 1 nut from the turbo-downpipe is mysteriously missing?
Is this a common issue? or something to do with mis-bolting something back up? or that 1 nut that mysteriously went missing so 4/5 is attached from TB-DP?

Hey all,
Am looking at buying a car, but I am not the most knowledgeable in all aspects of a car and would like a second more professional opinion other than my mate saying "yep she'll be right"
Apart from VTNZ has anyone used or recommends another place to organise?Am currently driving an 06 Legacy GT (for sale) so I think i'm still allowed to ask this question here
(even though the car I'm looking at isn't a flat4) -
if i didn't go down the route of blocking off, has anyone had this fixed by a workshop?
I'm not one to shy away from a challenge, but seems if i get it wrong then it might stuff things up?My car 06 Legacy GT just threw this code couple of days ago
-
@ADIKT agreed, it's quite intermittent at the stage,
is the Legacy 4th gen OBD2A or OBD2B ?
anyone got one i can borrow? beers back at you for lending out

Update***
This morning from cold start it did the same thing, S mode light on dash flashing. This time though it only stayed on for a couple of minutes.
a friend suggested it could be coolant levels? but if that were the case it would be show the temperature dash light and would be constantly on?

Hey Guys
Bit a broad question, but this morning when i went to go and start the car i had a CEL and the S (sports mode) on the dash was blinking
I know without running a diagnosis it's hard to say, but anyone come across this?
after say 10 mins and the cold engine light went off, the CEL went off too.
I did another cold start just now and no CEL or blinking drive mode.
When starting the car, turn the key once, wait for the gauges to sweep and then turn key again.

im on 215/45/18 all round and run on 38psi also.
Maybe a little harsher ride, but i'd rather roll further and use less gas , since fuel tax is coming

On the weekend i bought a zero/sports radiator shroud and intake pipe. Nice little touch to the engine bay, looks nice

is there any other lips like for WRX or something that is a relatively easy fix without much drilling or modification?
-
i did look into this, and shipping was going to be about 130 on top.
last resort i'll go overseas ebay or somewhere, but i'll try domestic first

Insert generic bp5 here
18inch vs 26inch
Got a few plans, exhaust, lip, better coilovers, tints, towbar for the bike (because cbf everytime putting down the back seats) and roof rack for winter coming.
Love it though flies when you need it. Economical enough that you dont have to throw your whole wallet at the guy behind the counter at bp

I emailed Ultrex about shipping to NZ. they said shipping is a killer so they don't.
but like it's been mentioned maybe if we proposed a group buy of say 10 ? i'm sure they'll stack up and can be packaged together
-
haha yeah i think that could be an option,
does anyone have a photo of how it looks on the car?
-
Nengun reckons $819.99 including shipping LOL$ 819.98
-
damn already 330 and im guessing thats AUD minus shipping.
have put the ad on facebook subaru groups so hopefully someone's got one lying around.
my bumper looks in complete without it
RHD japan reckons $587.78 + $416.15 for shipping LOL

Hi Guys,
so i HAD a lip that got smacked and snapped by a massive puddle a while back when it was pouring in Auckland.
it seems bloody hard to find one for the facelift model, apart from overseas and they are at least $500 +
anyone got one for sale or trade?
i bought one from a guy, but turns out its not for the facelift bumper which i have,
are there other options from different makers? or would i be looking at getting a whole new front bumper
-
Well just my luck!
while under the car the other weekend, looking round and shock horror CV boot is split on drivers side
car is a BP5 GTB FL
is it a big job to change just the boot ie boot + re greasing or what ever or is it worth to change the whole CV?
and are all cv boots for subaru bp5 the same?
please advise flat 4 wisdom'd people

Hey guys,
this might be posted somewhere else, but i was wondering what the REV versions are for each model car
how do i find out what REV my car is 06 GT b facelift
-
Hey waddup guys !
So I had a question about the fog lamps on my 06 legacy GT spec B post facelift.
Basically i was washing the car today and noticed my left fog lamp glass and been shattered.
Replacement wise, do i have to get the whole lamp unit? and is it the same size as for all bp5's?
Cheers

WRX V6 revving troubles after failed DP change
in Impreza, Crosstrek and XV
Posted
hmm okay okay
Thank you @RaKid and @Gripless will have to go through everything and make sure accel cable is all good and tps sensor plugged.
The car was running completely fine before this failed DP install so might have knocked something or moved something.
in other news..
does anyone have the nut that goes on the the turbo - downpipe bolt?
