I would like to avoid this for sure... I've got helicoils in for now and hope they hold up. The helicoil kit was bloody expensive too.

Buggered both the threads on the chassis for the gearbox cross member
Does anyone else have a great deal of trouble getting those lined up? Seems the cross member needs bending slightly for both bolt holes to lines up.

bit of an old Wives tale eh
20 years of TT's modders & not much over spooling going on with other builds
Maybe with a TT... single turbo wrx will spike from my experience... it's not by much and it's down low when the boost is just coming on, so plenty of excess fuel in the mixture.

Surely it will spike a bit? These aren't closed loop are they?

I'm sure they could make something decent. They should make a 2 door with 'gc8 looks' to rival the supra haha.
They made the GC8 for marketing purposes and it was an huge success... decades later they are still clinging to it.
But clearly there is money to be made making fat slow cars.

It's like they are trying to hypnotise us... yes... I see it now... this whale is really a WRC car from the 90s. cool. I'll buy one.
Why don't they just re-release the GC8? That's what everyone wants surely... and it will slap all the greedy 60k to 90k trademe f***wads in the face

Hey guys first time poster here .
Hi
2 hours ago, Henasi said:I have acquired a 2003 bp5 legacy , the guy I got it off has done a heap of work himself changes some of the interior to new stuff , recond block heads and head gaskets done etc have some of the proof but most done by himself.
I'm scared for you.
2 hours ago, Henasi said:The problems are cars in limp mode has thrown a few codes one being the knock sensor I'm sorting that but have been told that wont cause it to go into limp mode ?
Is the knock sensor saying there is knock, or is the ecu saying that the knock sensor is broken? Big difference and I think if the engine is knocking, then it will go into limp mode for sure at some level of knock.
2 hours ago, Henasi said:Main cause of concern is
b0223 - can-hs vdc/abs no receive data
and u1223- can-hs vdc/abs no receive data .
Few things online and talking to people seem to think could be the abs computer they are common to fault with some wire in them , if anyone had the abs wiring diagram for a 2003 bp5 legacy that would be great
If that's true I doubt a wiring diagram is going to help.

They won't seal perfectly for long and will start to breather a bit better. I wouldn't worry about it.

you will find strut nuts and bolts all over the ground at pick a part.

Holy crap... I'd not come across that before. Black, silver and white does not make a Harlequin soob though.

While the motor is out I've been busy cleaning wheel wells and the engine bay, and straightening up the sills at the 4 jack points.
I have some new front fenders I bought from Tony years ago that I want to put on, but they need painting and I don't want to spend
the money until the engine is sorted. Also have some tidier side skirts to go on and all new clips... but they also are the wrong colour

The thread size means the width not the length.
-
From the pics it's pretty hard to say... the AE ball joint does look chunkier than the FE and the thread def could be bigger.
If the thread on the AE is bigger, then you could possibly have it cut down to a 14mm thread... or alternatively go to the newer rack and change both rack ends to the AE.
If you are going to cut the thread on the AE... at a minimum get an engineer to assess the safety of doing that.
-
So we have a pretty solid conclusion then.
-
maybe the same
-
Looks like the thread at the ball joint end is a different size... could just be the photo though.

Its frustrating. Don't get where the hate comes from. If you owned one, would you be selling it below market value? Obviously not.
The next type R i've got lined up is going to cost more than what i've been offered on this - the market is the market, just like any other goods or service for sale. Supply / demand and what people want to pay for it.
I have a v5 Type R that I bought 6 years ago for 12k and thought I over paid. It's logical that people asking 60 to 90 k all of a sudden are going to be seen as price gouging. Take it personally if you want.
Fact is, it's just sad that the good old days of being spoiled rotten with cheap imports is over.

Heck even buying and selling a house only had capital gains tax come in a few years ago. Until that point if you sold for more than you bought for then good for you.
There's a capital gains tax on housing in NZ?
I've never heard of having to pay tax when buying and selling privately owned cars. Common sense (not jealousy) says there must be some threshold though. No idea what it might be, but if you were full time buying and selling privately owned cars for profit... the IRD will surely come knocking one day. Or maybe not... we are in NZ after all.

That guy's a dreamer.
To be fair, so is @Niran and what he's selling is way tidier. But who knows, maybe someone spectacularly optimistic will pay asking.
Bidding is around 60k on his currently... seems like a more reasonable amount, though it still kills me that they cost that much and
I have to find a new favourite car.

This is what I expect to see when people ask big bucks for an old and previously cheap car.

Still high km, but someone has spent a lot of time restoring it... and it's not super expensive either.
