  1. No idea, but worth a try. I know they can provide VF equivalents that they will stand by.
  2. Diesel and Turbo for a stock equivalent replacement. http://www.dieselandturbo.co.nz/ Upgrading is a whole can or worms... you'll need to do a whole lot lot more research and spend a whole lot more money.
  3. You mean you want to put some fresh cheap oil into and run it for a while, then drain?
  4. It could be a gearbox issue, not the clutch. If it's a clutch issue it could be over-throwing rather than not disengaging. When at a standstill, try putting it in first gear with the clutch pedal only about 75% down... move the gear shifter slowly, and if you feel any crunching, press the clutch down a bit more until it goes into gear without crunching.
  5. Some very weird entries. https://mobilmeanmachine.co.nz?sre=xrxzkYt13DwPw
  6. Don't spend more than you want to just because someone on a forum tells you to!
  7. News flash... all cars have been in decline since the 90s.
  8. Well, Subaru says that STi has “had input into the vehicle” so...
  9. https://engineswapdepot.com/?p=39306&fbclid=IwAR1UdZORXARy70ruWjEDbN_WcROUDUOM4ia5VQsxn_HOmKPAKhDaa9cnOes
  10. You have to sit in a seat for yourself before buying... there are many options and everyone is different. Allports has a range of fixed back and reclining seats. https://www.allports.nz/category/84-seats-harnesses I think a fixed back seat in a GC8 will be a pain to make work as the seatbelt is part of the seat... and retractable 3 point belts don't work very well with fixed back seats period.
  11. Subaru like to reuse components... a 5 speed shifter linkage will probably be reused on every 5 speed gearbox ever made. Maybe even the 6 speeds are the same. You can use online parts catalogues (i.e. https://jp-carparts.com/subaru/carlist.php?maker=subaru) and places like partsouq (that generally know what parts are equivalent), to verify.

  13. yes you can find them on websites... but mostly they are made to order items... and when you try and purchase, they aren't actually available.
  14. If restoring the synchos is even possible it's going to be mostly labour plus new oil. Should be under $2000. Cheaper than buying and installing a 6 speed, but you still have a gearbox that can't be fixed properly if anything breaks. Your cheapest option would be to get an old, non R/RA 5 speed and fit it yourself... but again... it's just another old box that might be on it's way out. You'd have to swap your DCCD centre diff over too. The only options if you want reliability moving forward is to put in a 6 speed, or a more modern 5 speed that will NOT be low ratio. Even the aftermarket is moving onto to 6 speed only... not many 5 speed options left and they would still be more expensive than the 6 speed conversion probably.
  15. You can not buy new parts for that gearbox anymore... including synchros. A decent gearbox guy might be able to restore the synchro function a bit though, depending on how worn they are. It sounds like the clutch slave cylinder is worn out... an easy part to get new and replace.
  16. I'm sure they will accomodate you! I must admit after seeing that video it is much cooler than I had expected... way nicer than the 22B. Not as cool as a genuine WRC version though!
  17. To me it looks just like Colin's 22b that they sent up the hill earlier in the day... minus roof scoop and stickers.
  18. yeah but you have to do that to 20 nuts! A bit pricey though... I bet you could find something better and cheaper.
  19. I think the quality you get from mag and turbo is fine. Anything really nice and expensive will either get smashed against a curb within a week or be stolen within a month.
  20. highly debatable... how many wheels do 10,000 km per year on a race track? How many race tracks have kerbs and pot holes?
  21. Replicas could be cheap knock offs, i.e. a wheel labelled as a Volk but not a Volk. You won't find those in a legit NZ store, but you will def find cheap wheels that are copying the style of a better quality wheel. I also think that if you are buying cheaper (made in china) wheels from Mag and Turbo, that the quality should be ok... but I don't know for sure. I tend to stick to Subaru wheels or cheap used good quality wheels... I have had subaru wheels, compomotive wheels, speedline wheels, volk wheels and maybe some OZ racing wheels. A good list of wheel brands is here. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/nz/performance/wheels-accessories/alloy-wheels/ Good wheels locally here https://www.allports.nz
  22. Palmside have decent wheels. https://palmside.co.nz/collections/18-inch-wheels
  23. I know, super disappointing. I guess they think "the fans" means "25 super rich assholes". The upside is that they are perpetuating the desirability of the chassis... and maybe one day it will reach the levels of the mark 1 escort chassis, and someone starts to produce them again, and in an affordable manner.
