Anyone used these guys? http://www.partzonline.co.nz/
I need some new ignition leads... seems like it should be a simple drive over to Subaru parts, Repco, BNT or Supercheap... but it's not

They just drone and sound bad. Raspy would be okay.

following...thinking of going baffled but the thought of changing sumps again is putting me off
I have used one in the past... it leaked.

Cheers for the reply! I haven't raced on this track before, is Higgins corner the one coming onto the straight?
It's the RIGHT hander onto the back straight. You can be pulling lots of Gs for what feels like a long time and with a
lot of throttle and high revs... try not to do that
Killed my motor even with a good sump as lot's of oil poured
out of the head breather into the catch can.

Put half a litre extra oil in... don't drive hard around Higgins corner... and in fact just try and cruise round it... and you hopefully will be fine.
Check the oil level before every track session as well as it can pour out of the left hand head breather.

If the forced air is going directly into the air filter box, then yes it's a good idea. If the forced air is just going into the space
behind the guard, then I can't see it being that effective... better than not I suppose.

nothing to add here other than the Majority of Subaru's are built on a FWD platform with a rear diff 'tacked' on, in essence & if it does nothing then might as well bin it then
Not saying you are wrong... but what are you basing that on?

The engine and gearbox mounts allow a lot of movement... try removing a spark plug lead or two when the engine is running to confirm

An all nighter should at least pay for a tune I reckon... as long as the bracing issues can be over come.

A regular date night is required.

The one that earns you money for race car.
Lols, if that's the case I must assume there are some bracing issues going on, as the car hasn't been finished for quite a while

Repco have a few different studs.

Reduces stress of kids in the car as so has many layers of benefits.
Alpinestar make really nice gloves. I hunk I'll be getting a pair soon, maybe even tomorrow.
Wait until you look at 3 layer FIA ones they make your wallet vanish
the high end ones are getting cheaper and the low end is staying the same.
Definitely... the sky is the limit when it comes to spending money on practically any motorsport related item.
When I finally break into F1 or WRC (I'm undecided, but talented enough to do either), I won't be paying for any of it

Just bought two Alpinestars packages (2 layer suits, gloves and boots) for myself and daughter... cool to have, but it does major damage to your wallet.

Yeah a bit better, less lag and can feel more power in areas. Not a huge difference tho. Something is wrong because Chris said for some reason he cannot put any timing in it was running a bit lean, he said its clearly not normal for an Sti. He tuned many of these so I trust him. You might be right, I might not find anything abnormal but something is making my one not take the power like it usually would. Ill let you know results
true, they are usually making low power because they are so pig rich... never lean.

Chris has tuned many of these and even he was fully expecting 210 ish which is what he usually gets. Im gonna get the leak down and compression test like he suggested and then ill see if engine is okay or whatever.
My money is on you not finding anything wrong. How does it feel on the road.... much better than before?

190 to 200 is all I could ever get out of a vf turbo. Maybe bringing the boost down will help with the det... seems very high for a vf and a tmic.
-
Try Diesel and Turbo, Llama, Unleashed, Road and Track... Subaru, Toyota? Or just use gasket paper as a temporary measure to get the car back.
-
What about these guys? http://www.wrcdevelopments.com/services/tuning... oh not quite BOP though.
But has anyone used them and got feedback?

That IS genuine Subaru prices.....
For years now, cam belt kits are $345 plus or $395 plus, depending on the kit, and waterpump kits are $99 plus.
Armstrong quoted me $585 plus and $180 plus just last week.

Could have been mine that was stolen 3 years back! I wish you had taken some pictures.

Chain drive to the front, interesting....
That interviewer though, anyone else find him awkward as hell?
His style is annoying, (mannerisms aside) the thing to remember is that he is making the videos for his HP Academy website, which is the for the purpose of teaching less knowledgable people stuff about how to make fast cars... so he provides a lot of context around his questions so as to not lose his intended audience. Possibly it would be better to edit in the extra context and not annoy and waste the time of the person he his interviewing.
In some of his videos he both asks questions and answers them at the same time, and leaves the poor person he is interviewing with nothing useful to add.
That car though, F***en amazing... and Andy Forrest is one clued up cookie.

I've also heard that they're a perfectly acceptable daily tyre. I'll be trying them when i need to replace what's on my BLE. Try Burkes Tyres Kilburne.
I have them on a BP5 and a WRX... they are more than enough for the BP5... and fine for the WRX if you drive thoughtfully, i.e. don't expect miracles
from them.
