  1. will be fine. 1.6 % is nothing. no real downside... a bit heavier... a bit more grip possibly.
  2. Sounds like a dead alternator to me... a mechanic will be able to diagnose and fix.
  3. Check that the hoses are connected and there is water in the tank.
  4. sweet, i will pm you about it. sure but prefer one that hasn't been subjected to heat and oil for 25 years... plus it's not exactly easy to get to a wrecker or pick a part these days.
  5. Does anyone know where to get one of these locally? https://www.efihardware.com/products/2986/3-pin-connector-subaru-coolant-sensor
  6. Thanks for the link, so good and complete info there No ring light on mine, the trademe link was just a random pic I found for reference. They all seem to have the plug though.
  7. I have had no luck with google ... could it also be to do with the immobilizer... not fitted in my vehicle but fitted to others?
  8. Hi, Does anyone know what the two wire plug on top of the ignition barrel is for? (the plug above the key on top of the barrel... not the power wiring on the tumbler). I have remove my loom to strip excess wires and have either removed the connector for this plug, from the loom, or it was never there. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/steering/listing-2586037178.htm Thanks
  9. The wobble is what finally convinced me that they are taking the piss.
  10. It's a piss take.
  11. Why can't you use a MAP sensor instead?
  12. What was the cause?
  13. What is the problem exactly? The revs go up by 500 rpm when you put your foot down? Isn't that normal?
  14. It doesn't really matter though because no one is being forced to buy over priced, poor condition "classic" cars.
  15. Maybe the wheel bearing is screwed.
  16. Can you describe the vibration more precisely? Can you hear it or just feel it? Can you feel it through the steering wheel... or brake pedal etc. You say periodic... does that mean always above 90, or only above 90 but not all the time? Does it happen only on certain road surfaces?
  17. You are mostly wrong... diagrams and parts can be found here >>> https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/subaru?_s=h
  18. I think there's more like a 20 kw increase... as I reckon the 303 kw is from a previous run... the final tune looks to be under 300... but a few kws here and there is pretty meaningless... I think that extra torque will be good... and more importantly, I can (hopefully) use anti lag for more than 60 seconds at a time, as that makes a really big difference
  19. helicoil strong enough for brake calipers?
  20. Tune up with e30... mainly for safety when using anti lag... but there were some reasonable gains for not having to do anything more than mix the fuel and pay for 2.5 hours on the dyno.
  21. Maybe newsuba will lend you his Thesaurus.
  22. Those guys charge like wounded bulls on crack.
  23. I have to disagree buddy. Saying you can use whatever externally sized filter you like in no way implies you can use one with incorrect internal specifications. No more than it implies you can use a fuel filter that just happens to fit (though perhaps you can? I don't know :))
  24. Harsh? I don't think so.
  25. it's just an oil filter... you can put whatever size you want on.
