  1. Any giveaways to determine a forged from a monoblock set? Or will forged be printed somewhere on the wheel? Edit: I should learn to read properly - your last sentence answers my question lol
  2. Is anyone here clued up about A-Tech wheels? I have a set of A-Tech Final Speed Gear-R wheels in gold currently on my S-GT. From what I understand they're quite a high quality wheel, JDM spec sorta thing, very lightweight, and i'm looking to sell them soon. The issue is I have no idea what they're worth and searching on the internet really doesn't give much information, except a few sets for sale in other countries where a set sold for roughly $700 CAD and then an Australian site (can't find the post anymore) where someone was asking $2200 for a set of white ones. Any one have more of a clue than me?
  3. And this is why Subaru's have a bad reputation for a lot of people..
  4. Snapped this pic this morning before work. Shot at the end of the driveway. Unfortunately iPhone quality.
  5. .. i'm gonna be that idiot. not letting me upload photo's via other media. I've tried linking from IMGUR and photobucket. sorry to be that guy is there a limit on file sizes or something? Smh @ myself. Work in IT and cant upload a photo lolll
  6. Excellent reply, thank you! Just realised I have the other part of the air box, but not the front thing that draws the air in. S***.
  7. I'm questioning a cold air intake. What's the benefits of these and do they really have much of an improvement over the factory airbox? is there generally any issues that people run into after installing one? As my my car currently sits, it's basically stock. Still with the factory air intake (box thing) which the front piece has been taken off - quote the old owner "more of a wooshing noise" when the turbo spools lol. I haven't gotten around to sticking the box part back on, but not hugely worried as I assume its less restricted air flow. If all is well, what's a good option for a cold air intake for an 07 S-GT?
  8. Have no idea how old the diff and gearbox oil is in my car, so best I change it and at least i know. Impreza S-GT 2.0 Turbo 5 Speed Manual, what sort of Gearbox and Diff oil would be suitable?
  9. Sounds like the car would be great for a long time once the turbo is replaced, especially after that much work done to it. Of course it's a good learning curve but i'm gonna vote to fix and keep.
  10. Night Shaded the tail lights on my S-GT. Very pleased with how they turned out! https://gyazo.com/656b43c0124f10a1475e9b364a92038b
  11. oh mai gawd im doin an oil change tomorrow so might have to delay it until this arrives!
  12. http://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/Product/Rislone-Nano-Prime-Engine-Oil-Performance-Booster-500mL/556529 Has anyone ever used this stuff? It by no means interests me, I'm just curious if anyone has used it or something similar and has seen any results? I read the amazon reviews and they're all very positive. Seems a little excessive at $54 though I'm going to assume some people steer clear of these sorts of products in general
  13. Eh also need to ask: When it comes to swapping the spoilers over, is it a simple remove and replace process? Or will I need extra bits and pieces for it to fit.. Also the high stop light? What's the go with that?
  14. The red tail light looks so much better than the standard on v10 hatches IMO. I'm looking around and finding that there's a lot of overlay kits just to get this look? Is this the only way to do this or do Subaru actually manufacture the red tail lights? I'm guessing most people use some kind of tint or plasti to get this effect. pic for reference: https://gyazo.com/b426da3a0742c58825ac5a0c7e7b26be Also trying to source an STI spoiler for a v10 hatch. Can't seem to find any. How much do these generally go for too? I'm gonna guess they sting the account quite hard. Has anybody used Ezlip before? https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/exterior/listing-1654628485.htm?rsqid=a046d236a22c4010823c6724ec72057e it looks pretty good IMO, quite a budget way to get a lip too which never hurts.
  15. Apet quoted $700 for a reflash and and dyno tune. Sounds like that could be the way to go!
  16. I'll get in contact with Apet at some stage
  17. Unless anyone knows of someone in Dunedin? Haha. I need to ask around and see if anyone does this stuff locally too. Will sting the account a little bit less.
  18. I'd be very happy to discuss with them Plus a trip to Christchurch wouldn't hurt at all. Gotta get away every now then again, right?
  19. Very good point here. Say If I did have this tune for 95 and was somewhere at had 98 fuel, say Dunedin, would it be fine to stick 98 in anyway? Since I like the engine cleaning properties 98 fuel has.
