I love my RE002s...
Fantastic wet grip.. and even better when dry!

Fb=43hz
bloody wagons.. can fit anything in the back! ;P
Biggest one i\'ve built was an ABC design that everyone on nzice was raving about back in the day..
Might have a set of rainbow germaniums for sale sometime this year..
Can\'t bring myself to weigh a zoom zoom car down.. =(..
Factoring in dynamat, box, amps, cabling, components... too much hassle.

Essentially all the sub needs to do is handle the power and excur linearly with the signal given.
Box design is most important..
Yes, sealed, tight and punchy. But more importantly, output is relatively linear across the sub bass frequencies.
For ported, there is a spike at the tuning frequency.. and anything around that frequency, it gets a bit sloppy..
I have heard very controlled bass from a ported box before, as long as the cutoff is set properly to minimise uncontrolled cone movement..

Night made it hard so couldn\'t do my original plan but this shouldn\'t be too hard

After being stuck in the garage for a while due to funds being diverted to other aspects of the car, the wife was kind enough to give me a voucher for panel beating services and the resulst:
spoiler finally put on ;D
i recognise this car.
Do you work somewhere near the bus depot in town?
I think I saw you at the lights in front of Sofitel.

Most I could get with factory camber bolts up front was -1.6
The rears are at -2.0 at the moment due to the car being lowered on coilovers..

Awesome.. can\'t wait for the rest, especially bleeding the brake system.
Further question regarding brakes.
1) Would you recommend brake pad lubricant? or you\'re okay without it?
2) Is there a legal way (ie, not speeding) to bed in brake pads?

As Ray said, I\'ve never used it, find a good twisty 100k stetch..Me and Koom use to use the area round halswell in chch for bedding in as 100k zone with lots of good twistys to brake on for bedding in..
Definitely cool vids, +1 on the music it\'s horrible lol
Cheers guys...
Will need to replace pads and rotors before MM14 (2 piece.. will be quite interesting... need to lookup torque figures for the cap bolts).
So this has been quite useful.
and fluid in there is 2 years old.. so will need to get that sorted too..
can\'t wait for the next..

If you haven\'t ruled it out yet, try checking your axle nuts.

Joker: yeah.. yours is pretty bad from the looks..
Yeah.. what to do. Auckland city...
Sometimes it gets up to that price... not worth driving to botany to save 10 cpl.
Price on Fuelly is full price and doesn\'t include AA fuel save..
Saved 8 bux on a full tank at BP yesterday.. pretty mean..

I\'m doing about 10 km/L mix of town and highway driving..

NB: the outlier seen in august was due to car being in for a tune.

That\'s a proton.
Looking at the banner and other cars and surroundings in the picture, taken in Malaysia as well.

Did a first service on my WRX since i\'ve owned it(since september) Pretty sure the lady who had it before me only put water in the radiator and also BOTH radiator fans were unplugged so whoever did the cambelt on it last obviously forgot to plug them back in. Wondered why the temp would sky rocket on a hot day :\'( However now its running all good now
Decided to go with the Penrite 10w-50 in the end. Asked a few Subaru mechanics and specialists and they said it would be all good. What do you all use?
Check out the old Air Filter though! Its like king kong farted into it
Now she is running alot nicer since the service and it is definitely MUCH better with a new air filter.
Castrol Edge 5W-30 for me.
I need to get around to getting my coolant flush too. No garage/driveway space to do it at the mo. =(
Another thing that is often overlooked is the cabin air filter.
If your A/C is blowing really weakly, go get this filter changed. It made a huge difference on mine, and you don\'t always have to have your settings on High

fudge! i used to live 3 houses away from sealy pl.
Has always been a decent suburb, apart from the state houses round back!
Hope you guys find it.

I was looking all over for this.
Needed it to clean out the threads for subframe lock bolts.
Only way i found it was in a set..
Wasn\'t keen on spending $200 bux on a tap and die set I will barely use..
-
USD 95 for the whole set..
Plus about 25 bux shipped to NZ
Quite keen to see if they make a difference..
Its supposed to reduce/get rid of rear diff clunk when shifting or accelerating hard..
the rear subframe bolts also reduce the \'floatiness\' of the rear end..

Which would you have??

Probably want to chime in here too.
The plan is 24mm front and rear whiteline sway bars.
Both front and rears are adjustable, with the hopes that I can soften up the front if there is too much understeer.
From whats been said here, it now seems like going for a 22mm front may be the recommended?
