  1. Been playing around but can’t seem to make the event public. However we could make a new event via the clubsub page with the same txt if that works? Would be cool to have a big convoy of subies headed down
  2. Cool too see you added my screenshot here, will post the link but not sure if it will work for most since the akl subarus members page is private. https://www.facebook.com/events/333564470383531/?ti=icl would be keen on a clubsub sticker if they get sussed. Been a long time lurker (lost me old account) so about time i represent a little bit haha
  3. You are right, but in seeing as a lot of the previous disscussions talked about how easy it is to bypass the immobilisers, if you physically remove a section of the wiring it then means that not only do they have to defeat the alarms immobilisers they then also have to replicate the wiring you have removed because there is a section physically missing they would then need to provide wiring and the time to bridge the removed section in order to get the car running again which would aso look quite suss rather than joining wires etc under the dash/alarm brain inside the car not attracting attention. Depending on the location of the removed loom as well of course
  4. This something I've thought about ever since my b4 got stolen and the general conclusion of 'if they really want it they will get it' always seems to recurr. A good alarm - err well installed well optioned alarm with at least one kill switch and a gps tracker are great for piece of mind but in the end i doubt it would stop someone determined to steal my car. I'd had an idea a while back but never really left the concept stage, but my idea was to create a removeable section of the motor loom that was plug n play by removing a section of the wiring somewhere not ultra obvious but also not impossible to get to (for useage) and have a plug made up for either end of the harness on either side of the removed section and then have a plug in replacement section that was originally removed with corresponding plugs so that you could physically make the car undriveable by removing said section of wiring and taking it with you. Was just an idea i had floating around.
  5. Hahaha you're a funny bugger mate 🤣🤣
  6. This sounds great, fingers crossed I can make it!
  7. Spent some time cursing all the road works between Christchurch and Auckland that chipped some paint when I drove her up last week and took her for a nice boost 😍
  8. Have you had a look at the idle control valve? Had similar issues with my old rev c etune and after cleaning that it seemed to run a bit nicer on cold start than it used to.
  9. Personally I like walbros but end of the day as long as its a reputable brand and from a reliable source so you can be sure it's not a knock off, you can't go wrong. As for the gull it's not recommended in my v7 sti but unsure about the older ones. I did find my sti ran great on it at first and after a while it seemed to not run as nice. Went back to mobil and no probs since
  10. I have a 2002 v7 sti prodrive and after looking at the id plate the only thing I havn't been able to find out whats what is my option code. Its not a huge deal but i would really like to know what option code 78c means. The all-knowing google is unable to help me so far so I'm hoping someone here can enlighten me haha 🤣
  11. Hey all. I recently bought a v7 sti with some gold bbs 17s on it. Just been told that they may be rarer than I thought. From google they appear to be sti spec c wheels What do you guys think they are worth? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1099-JDM-WRX-STi-BBS-RV723-Forged-17x7-5-Wheels-Rims-Clear-Brembo-200-Voucher-/391300648084 Sorry for the link but phone wont let me put up a pic
  12. Been trying to program a new key fob on my bh all afternoon with no luck, tried following the instructions above, new battery and 3 remotes and nothing seems to register the key to the car. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Car beeps when handle is pulled but i cant set the code without a key being programmed to the car
  13. Hey guys, first time back in a while. The wife has a 2000 bh5 gtb tiptronic and its been doing funny things for a while now. It will frequently hit about 5psi primary and then tries to hit secondary with a huge vod. Then as if nothing has happened it will boost fine again out of nowhere. Its done 120k and been well maintained for the last 40k by myself. The only error codes i get are code 66 and afm. Have cleared the codes and cleaned afm. Seems to make a difference for a little while after ecu reset but then falls back into the same routine. Wife says it happens a lot in the mornings on her way to work. Issue cropped up after car was left at mechanics for a wof so im not sure what happened there but it was fine that morning and not the same since. Any ideas? Rarely gives a code 66 when issue is present so Im stumped
  14. My mrs dropped her 2000 gtb auto into a mechanic one day before work, A1 automotive in fitzgearld ave in christchurch to get her steering rack boot replaced and a wof. They took much longer to deliver the car back than they\'d promised, told her they had replaced the passenger side park light but was still left unplugged from when I had last put the light back in, told her they had \'degreased\' the entire underbody of her car and tried charging for the extras never permitted and now the majority of fhe time boost is jerky and only gets 5psi before the car transitions to secondary. Starts and idles ok but the boost gauge reads only -10 at idle, used to be ~-20 Only error code i found was an old oxy sensor code that hasnt come back after an ecu reset Any ideas? Vacc leak maybe?
  15. I just uplugged the electrical connections to the actuator and poked the cable hanging bynthe exhaust up into the hole it came from. No probs so far
  16. Cheers for the help guys. Yeah have been on the phone to the police. Will have to go down and file a report and hope they nail him. Cheers guys
  17. I was reversed into in a carpark in st albans, christchurch and chased the guy right out of town and down old west coast road out to the west coast and refused to pull over. Stopped at the lights my mrs knocked on his window and told him to pull over and he said \'i cant, its not my car, its my dads and took off again. Even after a farilt hairy bit of driving the bastard wouldnt stop so had to let him go. Can anyone get address or anything off a plate so I can go visit his \'dad\'. Zh3453 charcoal grey volvo sedan Much appreciated
  18. +1 swap em round and with the fuse replaced it should go. Easy way to check if you have a multimeter or test light is with the key off the yellow wire should have ~12v(multimeter) or the testlight should light up with the key on or off, that will be the batt wire which will let you keep your settings. Repeat same with the red but when key is off there should be 0v/no light, thats the acc. Hope you sort it
  19. Im looking at a set of 17x9s and would be keen to know if they would fit in the guards of my be without huge rolling or anything. Car is on superlows also? Only asking as I cant test fit them, cheers
  20. Hey guys, Am looking at options for shipping a full set of seats and possibly wheels at a later date and was wondering if anyone knows the best/cheapest way to ship a full set of front/rear seats from auckland to christchurch? Sorry if its already been covered, couldn\'t find in my quick search ;D cheers guys
  21. Hey, I'm after the part numbers at repco for front brake pads to suit a standard bh5 auto wagon. I'm also after the part number for the gc8 sti 4pot pads. Was told by the guy at the counter that he couldn't help me because the brakes wern't factory on my b4 so couldn't look the plate up
  22. I drove my B4 from auckland to christchurch in april and i used just under 2 tanks. Somehow i managed to get 672 ks ( according to google maps ) from a tank full to overflowing after filling up in taihape to my final destination in templeton, christchurch
