Finished my lights BUT not 100% happy with it. It has some orange peel and I suspect it temps on the day wasnt hot enough, even after leaving the clear coat can in some hot water before spraying. I however also noted some hairline stress/sun cracks all over the sides of the headlights - So they have seen some serious sun in their days. So instead of redoing them, I might just get a new set later the year. All that yellow gunk and oxidation coming off :thumleft: After - no more yellow and its clear

congrats guys!

oo lala....waiting patiently to see if I got some new goodies for my first legacy to love it even more

Ill give it the current tank to get a final number and see how it goes (maybe my estimate are off but time will tell) What software must i get?

Hi guys and girls. When Legacies are imported from Japan are they remapped at any stages in the process for NZ fuel and climate? I am using BP '98 as I believe these engines prefer 95/98? but would a remap be needed? My legacy seems to be heavy on go go juice and I am getting 6-7km to the liter

Think i have settled on this : https://www.carid.com/2006-subaru-legacy-alarms-remote-start/omega-universal-car-security-systems-965636147.html Problem is its another $50 for the bypass unit and $50 for the programmer that I will use once...anyone else want to group order and get only one programmer?

Well, I am more comfortable now that it won't interfere with WOF or other legislation. The search continues for a decent system that contains everything I am looking for and that looks the part as well.

Feedback just received from LVVTA: As far as we can see they are legal to be fitted and do not require certification. I have asked around the office, gone through our standards and can find no mention of it, nor can I find any mention of it in the Wof VIRM which would suggest there are no current regulations about it. A quick Google shows a company in Wellington that fits them. May be worth contacting them about it :Obsessive Vehicle Security Although I can find no regulations, it unfortunately doesn’t mean there aren’t any hiding in an obscure place. At least there will need to be some thought put into the installation/operation to avoid things like it starting in gear or with the bonnet open to a reduce the risk to people. Hope this helps. Regards

So an update on this saga. NZTA has referred it to the LVVTA for approval.

ooo maybe a good outing for my legacy as well as it need some proper driving for engine "cleaning" Also give me an opportunity to get my DSLR out again Where are you driving from?

Had enough of 2018, have you I was actually keen to order 1, and maybe do a group order on here, but then realised once added it to the cart, they only deliver in Japan

2018-1988 = 30 but I guess when in 1988 is what matters

The ring only has one way of going in (although it looks like two) - twist it 180 degrees and should pop right in

Thanks for all the advise...I haven't received any recall letters or a reply to my letter. So for now it seems nothing has to be done

Well there goes that idea. Wonder if one can get the part and install it yourself?

eish.....starting to wonder if its worth the recall, All i see is horror stories.

You more patient then me... Thats for sure How can "professional" people work like that. I would avoid taking my car there if you willing to pm me the name?

oh good thread... I see there were a few recalls for my vehicle. : Will contact a dealer to see if they all were done

that its my first legacy and loving all of it!

Contact these guys: https://ptsl.co.nz/contact/ They shipped my legacy down from Auckland to Wellington for me.

You also need to be mindful of how much your car is going to stand and be used. You dont want to get into the car one morning with a dead car battery as the tablet used all the juice. They draw very little current but for prolonged periods of time consider having a hard cut switch wired in (or just pull the fuse if you have one)

My LED interior globes arrived

Right, two insurance houses have confirmed installing a keyless and remote start system won't void any insurance claims with them. One confirmed it will however not cover the unit itself and one confirmed it will cover the unit to a max value of $500. Now I am just waiting on feedback from NZTA

Manfeild has come back to me with Q1 track dates as follows: Manfeild Test Days as follows: Friday 25 January 2019 Friday 1 February 2019 Friday 5 April 2019 She will send me the rest of the year in January

Agree with IZichard...if its the factory head unit and its only a 2018 it should be covered under warranty
