Sorry old thread drag, but iam too looking at getting a 2007 GRB STI with 100,000kms on the clock, Kiwi Fozze when you say its a big trend beacuse of the piston rings - is this when modded or even just standard? tbh I havent heard of the JDM 2.0l doing this?
I bought this for my Legacy 3.0R, pricey but the best gearknob I have ever bought - looks good and feels good too

Well I'm pretty keen to put some brembos on my 2006 3.0R whats the best option for sourcing the adapters for the rear? does anyone sell them in NZ? or do I need to head to ebay?
Anyone have any more ideas on this? Still getting code 65 now the car actually boosts normally but still getting the cel?
Also after 30min of driving or so it will go out?
Okay so radiator went back in and I took it for a good drive and it seemed ok didn't overheat and the overflow bottle only filled to halfway this time, went in and had tea then took it for another spin, this time it overflowed the bottle and same old problem the temp came up again! - I tried what you said with the 2-3k rpm for a bit and the temp did come back to normal - and yes the fans are definitely blowing the right way
my only idea now is the head gasket is only just starting to leak every now and then especially when I drive it a bit harder
Okay so took the Radiator in to be flushed out and it was 20% blocked, will be putting back in tonight, would 20% blockage cause it to warm up a bit at idle? it never gets real hot when it does warm above normal, and as I said it would come back to normal once driving
Okay so I replaced the thermostat and it has made no difference, i'v noticed it wont ever overheat when driving its only when you stop at idle for around 5min or more it starts to rise - In now thinking a blocked radiator?
Okay thats interesting thanks for the feedback guys i guess I've never really had to do a 50k service, i also notice they would change the brake fluid and coolant is this really necessary?
btw my 3.0R is Manual also
Lol i did now that they have done a breakdown its gone up to $918.03
Holy S*** is the oil made from gold and 1.5hrs to do a can of upper engine cleaner??
Okay so I just got a price for a 50k service for my 2006 3.0R Legacy and they have said its $790 incl GST??
Seems way to steep to me!?
What do others think? looks like I might have to learn how to do the gear and diff oil change myself..
I just checked with crowesport and they quoted me 450 incl lol
