here ya go. cold start on the car. hks exhaust, pbms downpipe, hks intake (tho not sure if that makes change to this cold start idle sound). haven't yet figured out a nice way to mount camera in there (mounted on the roof scoop bare metal thing in old car) for cool in car POV driving recording, so for now a brief description : after it's warmed up it's a really nice sound, cold starts can be a bit loud (but i do think its kinda cool). once warmed up , cruising around at normal speeds in I or S, you know it's there but it's not over powering anything. in s# with the change in map (might just be cos mines tuned as haven't driven in this configuration while stock), you're pretty much always under boost so it's a bit louder but still not annoyingly loud. turns heads, but still sounds nice in car. i found myself turning down the music and driving a gear lower than usual just cos i loved the sound that much lol. not droney at any point at all regardless of mode/throttle position so that's an added bonus.

Time to revive this thread my friends Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

quoting my old post, as it seems this one will sit right below old car in leader board but oh boy does it feel SO MUCH BETTER and it's mostly stock lol. Model: WRX STI V11 GRB Displacement: 2.0L stock engine Mods: PBMS Downpipe, PBMS Stage 2 Baffled oil sump, HKS catback exhaust/twin carbon tips (guessing it's 3"), HKS intakepipe/carbon box (doesn't make a difference but mentioning carbon cos carbon fam), PBMS heavy duty organic clutch Fuel: Gull Force 10 Tuner/dyno: PBMS/ Rollling road / Dyno Torque gonna be putting WRXMAS plates on it tomorrow, not sure why dyno date is showing like that, as he didn't even have the car back then haha i'm guessing default dates but anyways;

oooh might have to pop in to quote up some coilovers , edfc and alignment... @JordanfromNZ definately getting some for his car too

you could drive the heck out of it and enjoy them fuel economy gains compared to everyone else on this thread

radar detectors are legal in NZ so not a big deal, but yeah many of the new ones are undetectable. laser jammers are illegal if you have that, it'll be something youw anna keep low key.

speak for yourself, you're a freak of nature mate

i' can record/review HKS exhaust with downpipe in v11 sti hatch next week for ya.

Check out vortex radar for the details reviews. R3nz is kinda best overall at the moment but be aware that r7 is coming out end April and will have better range in redflex (the speed vans) i use waze right now and has saved me multitude of times. Am Not a hoon by any means but I do what’s necessary in passing lanes and quite often there are revenue gatherers waiting there (how is that making no safer??? Would rather they catch speeders where public safety is on the line) , so this kinda thing is big motivator for me to get RD . Plan to use both waze and rd when I get the r7

Spent ages detailing the skyline, in and out gettin it clean as for whoever the new owner ends up being (still for sale btw). No pics cos its not a subie

@JordanfromNZ do these things

Gotta line up the sale of the old one atleast lol, or unless he's happy to go a little lower on price and tempt me right to it GOnna quote my post from garage thread to spam the word out there about old one bein for sale, in case anyone out there would know I'll appreciate it.

ticked over the skyline to 100,000km ODO. will chuck on TM soon enough... listed my skyline on FB started researching seriously in to GRB and talking to someone about his one for sale.

sucks man shouldnt you not have to pay excess in the case that they stole it?

what do you mean turbos dont work properly? depends on the oil in there and the tune also but even from factory i'm pretty sure most subi idle a bit higher than usual when cold but 1.2k seems kinda high.. wouldn't expect that in current ambient temps , atleast not if you're upper north island. wonder if your cars had aftermarket tune that changes timing/fuelling based on temp etc. for protection.

yeh hes here as @Pappu1

wait what???

when buying car, don't trust anyone and unless they have receipts, assume it's original clutch or cambelt . even the stickers they put on can be fake so not worth trusting.
