Lol I don't understand it at all, searched my car again now it says no recall in big red text. Not even a table there now, just no active recall and same paragraph about what is searchable and excluded.
guess the only sure way is to get a chassis number after the job is done and recheck to see if it changes.
someone who has a letter just put the chassis number in and increment it until you get a different result.

Copy the right most box into google translate. If the word 'caution' appears then most likely never done.
then there's the fact it may have been disabled with a resistor but no idea what the note for that is.
i can see the airbag in my car with the glovebox out so may check to see if it's been disabled.

I got my Notification of investigation of Recall for my Outback last night.
So good news that I would be covered if theres an issue.
Now just have to wait for the investigation to find out if my faulty airbag has been replaced in Japan.
Hopefully it has already been done.
I thought I read they physically marked something on the car when it was done.
mitsubishi put yellow dot or marks on recalled parts.

These are supposed to be *our* Imprezas ;]
Yes and so it has its own seperate topic with only a link here, in case anyone in the future is looking for images.

After @Subru thread turned to photoshop and car photos I had a quick look back into my archives and grabbed out all the WRC photos I had of 2009 or 2010 (not sure which) but there will be another years worth somewhere.
These are all as shot with just resize and crop so some are not in focus etc.
If you want to comment copy the link to the phot don't quote the post, it'll get loooooong....
Yes they took the reckk cars through before the WRC ones as test runs.

I'd say let the lost grow, last gen sti can hit over 210wkw with down pipe and tune.

Took car for an unexpected bath, flooded road roulette.
so underside and wheel arches will be nice and clean.

@chulozumo lol sure you don't really feel bad but... You aren't contributing to pollution. well not much, welcome to the NZ promotes pollution. ok so we just can't avoid it we are an island and import so much.

Wondering if I'll get a letter being it wasn't on nz list?
-
Checked mine and GRB is on the list to be done.
so nz website didn't list it but is on Japanese one so time to go get a bunch of rattles put into the dash.
also my translation is different but it's all about that note.
[Caution for car not yet implemented]
Although you can update the car inspection, please contact the nearest dealer as soon as possible to repair it.-

I just went there and it's now the Apache default page, oops it's broken.
note "not implemented" says it all.
the already carried maybe the notification public or owner, not the repair.

lol thats quicker spool than my VF30. 22.6psi at 4650.
Was your Td05 Kinugawa stock location and would you recommend one over a vf considering the cost.
Wow that's slow.
later model stock twinscroll hits ~22psi at 3500rpm, ok so it's down to 20psi by 5500rpm but still that's over 200wkw for 2500rpm. It's 160wkw at that 3500 rpm mark so it feels quick.

Nope they are the bronze ones I got, just two way as lazy and tweeters are metal so fine down low in door. There was good room to fit them and clear the window.
no pix but just
- cut cone out at top
- cut the magnet mount to frame thin braces next to frame
- See if new speaker sits flat, likely not.
- cut or snap with long nose pliers the inner wall of the original frame down about a cm at top bottom and sides
- test new speaker sits flat, likely it will now
- screw new speaker to frame. Depend on what the frame is like, half I had to drill holes the others the screws just fitted between the two walls to the speaker frame.
I installed foam under the speaker to seal it to the frame, comes with infinity ones in the box.
i also wrapped the outside in foam that stuck up 2cm past the top so it seals to the inner door skin for more bass. But they brought a sub because it was so cheap.
Do the rears first if you are worried.
pull the frames and have a look at them to work it out.
bit daunting to cut up the originals but it's not like it's a big deal to get replacements as they re similar for many models.
also get the speaker to subaru adapters that I listed somewhere, cost $15 for 4 shipped from Christchurch place so zero cutting of wiring either.

I think I got it free when I got my last set from the bridgestone dealer. The free puncher repair is good too.
ive had two tyres have the sidewall get damaged and both times had warranty replacements.
Its ok when they have the buy 3 get 1 free deal, but if it's a forced time to buy them the savings at say herb Morgan or an other unbranded dealer is too good to pass up.

Anyone know what happens if you fail your warrant because of the airbag issue and it's an import?
I'm assuming you would have to cough up and get it done then try get Subaru to cover it.
I'm going to send another email to Subaru to find 1. Is my car in the recall or not 2. Will they pay if it fails?
Guessing it's going to be a mess.

I got infinity 6.5" reference. You just hack up the factory speakers to make mounts. Takes about ten minutes per speaker.

and 3 years on its now a National news recall, somehow the gummimint thinks its important all of a sudden
It's not that's important now it's just it's part of the WOF check now so it's news.
So few cars have had the replacement, either as owner didn't bother or were never contacted. Also to be honest the recall changed and different countries had different models listed, USA had GRB chassis on the list once when I checked, nz one didn't. Guess find out next WOF check if you fail.

I will probably commit next week, trying to sort out what I need to buy for the track day first.
Is it all good if I come with a 100% cotton long sleeve T-shirt and jeans or do I really need some kind of racing overall?
Any tips as to where I can buy a helmet for cheap?
Overalls are like $25
there was a topic about cheap helmets last month, think it was in someone build thread after it went a bit off topic. Think it was chicane tha had the cheapest.
guess I better get sorted and get harnesses fitted so I can turn up.

GRB makes 220wkw easy with down pipe alone so you don't need a big turbo for that power.
it will drop to 17psi up top but it's not bad power from 2L that's stock.
can make 208wkw at only 14psi as there is little heat soak but that's way further up the rev range.
heati is your biggest enemy so just a big top mount will get you a long way.

Can't compress water which is why the funnel doesn't work.
but your taking extremely short time frames "freewheeling" between pulses and like sound waves are just compression waves.
but the pulse thing is why twin scroll exists, I'm sure there is a YouTube video of that side that involves a pinwheel.
also what's the octane on American fuel there maybe a difference there too.
Is there compression difference in the USDM model compared to what we have here?
-
Stock location turbo on a USDM doesn't have the brake booster etc in its way does it? Wouldn't that give them heaps more room to fit a big arse (ass in American) turbo.
as for your theory on high back pressure since the pairs of heads are out of phase the high in one is the low in the other.
so won't the pressure not back flow into the cylinder but rather equal out into the other header where the valve is closed and there is less gas.
F***ed if I explained that well, most likely not.
twin scroll is about having multiple pulses of gas combine to create higher pressure, kind of like resonance you get more rpm from the turbo from less gas. In the low pressure phase the turbo is happily freewheeling.

Ray hasslier in city is amazing but mainly do euros. Got them to do a Suzuki for me a couple of years ago.

Facelift so usually just bumpers and trim.
suspension changed, dampers and spring rates, plus front lower rear bush is not S*** rubber.
Poor tuning is the most likely cause of issues with the 2L and I'd get the baffled sump just in case.
think Pbms change the oil passages a bit of full builds to offer increased protection to the bearings.
that or down pipe and or intake mods without a tune. Runs lean and over boosts without a check engine light coming on most of the time. I think it's 24psi you get the over boost waste gate control failure code.

Shouldn't there be a station wagon vs sports wagon vs sedan vs coupe poll some where.
I'm guessing most legacy's are wagons but how many wrx are wagon?
