  1. The "RA" is a four door sedan that shares the running gear with the "type r"coupe.

    coupes came in two main configurations.the "type r"sti with dccd etc or the "ltd" editions that are not sti and came with roof scoops etc and are mostly a budget version of the full on "type r'.nearly all "ltd" coupes are blue and carry limited edition badges but they are not sti's.

  2. wrx wagon='FLIK' cause its red like a fire engine as in flik the little fire engine for those old enough to know.

    type r coupe=CASPER cause its white and almost stealth like.its gone before you hear it .

    datto 1500 ute=SMURF TRUCK cause its that lovely blue colour.although it is undergoing a restore and will become a gloss black wellside soon.will need a new name.

    mitsi l200 ute=SOOTY cause it smokes like a dirty old chimney.also may need a name change as a 4g32b engine is in transit.

  3. Thats an awsome result funky.

    you will be able to short shift a little at around 6000 and most other drivers will have to ring the necks out of there engines to get past you.

    could be that you get slipstreamed a fair bit...thats if they can latch on to your missile exiting corners.

    congratulations to all invovled..

  4. i am in agreement with shale on the use of a driver as a weapon of mass mutilation.

    much too light to inflict the injuries required.also too valuable to damage.

    i would follow tiger woods ex missus example and select perhaps my lucky 7 iron.

    steel shaft and steel head much more efficient at hacking and chopping from my experience.

    [fyi]my driver is a titleist 905r 7.5 degree ,green envy 65 stiff shaft.i would be reluctent to smash it over some scumbags head.

  5. there are many reasons why private medical insurance companies have gained a strong following in nz.

    preying on peoples fear of becoming sick with an overcrowded public system is probably the main one.

    subsidies by employers to attract staff with "free"medical cover is another.

    access to immediate treatment for ellective surgery is enticing.

    but at the end of the day if you wrap your car around a lamp post you will be taken to a public hospital to be treated.

    private cover is for ellective use,the companies state in there advertising that if you are in a life threatening condition to attend the nearesr public hospital.

    thats where the ambulance will take you whether you like it or not.

  6. two thoughts on this thread.

    if all the money that was paid in premiums on private health insurance was redirected to the public health system there would be no under funding and everyone would get a better resourced deal.what is the point of skimming the cream off the top so you can fatten the corporate fat cats?

    acc levies on registration is an unfair method of accumulating a slush fund to fund hospital treatment.it paints a diverse range of vehicle users with the same brush.i think a fairer system would be to collect the revenue required from the petrol pumps.that means that the people that do the most mileage and therefore are at the most risk are made to pay their fair share.

  7. new warrant of fitness on wrx wagon.

    had to replace headlight with stone chip in it.this is the same headlight that was in the car when i bought it seven years ago.it has passed thirteen wofs from vtnz and onroad.???

    passed with no rubber on clutch pedal tho.

    cant complain as secondhand headlight only $60.

    wagon nearly ready for sale.hurr hurr.
