it occurs to me that looking at photos of mine, i dont know where the antenna is on one! is it in the rear glass?
-
Looks right from when I did it on mine, although on mine it made little to no difference (was an S401, but basically a Rev D)
-
I miss the pops and crackles my old GC8 Type R made going down the gorge in the mornings, lol.

Whats a manual conversion like on a BE? Would think it'd be easier to start with a manual one.
Technically a single turbo conversion needs a cert too, which adds some cost and complexity.

You can have the windows cracked maybe an inch or so and it is all good. That's if you are moving, not sure about if you are sitting in traffic I usually just rock the A/C
S401 has little monsoons like that too, and they are so utterly useless, lol. The legacy windows must close higher up, because by the time you have the window open enough there is a gap, its well out of the protection of the monsoons.

I do a few 60-5kph heavy stops, with a little time between each to cool down. Gets them pretty hot and smelly, but yet to have a set that havent bedded in well. Doing a couple of these is also good for stopping the Brembos squealing. It was a tech at work that advised i use this technique, as its what they use on all the brakes they do.

It made no difference at all on my Rev D, so i reverted back to standard. I wouldnt bother doing it TBH.

Its the only thing the S401 is lacking.... a long roof. Someone buy mine and make a BH S401.
-
What, the box that although 90% is empty you still need to keep in the car for the sockets?
Nice wheel nuts though, i wanted a set for the S401 until i saw the price.

I could never get the dragons breath to spray nicely and I end up using far to much of it.
Does this stuff spray nicely? Does it go a cool colour aswel?
Trick is to dilute it, or use a better spray bottle. I use dragons breath and its good stuff.

I have often seen those weird powerbuilt sockets and wondered if they actually worked. I love my rattlegun and 6 sided impact sockets for suspension work.
Depending on how much access you have to the stripped nut, i would try a few things myself. Hammering on a smaller socket, a hammer and chisel to try and turn it (or cut it off), or just plain old cutting it off with a death wheel or dremel.
I see a few of these around too and also wondered if they work for cutting off rounded nuts. Havent really needed one so far.
You can get these from bunnings too, seem to be rated fairly highly (although once again havent had a need for them myself). They use a reverse spiral so they get tighter as you try and loosen them.

I usually park well away from anyone else, and dammit, 9/10 times i get back and there is some S*** heap that has chosen to park next to me.
My old Honda that i used to park in a public parking building every day ended up with so many door dents down the sides the panels almost looked rippled. So glad i have private parking at work now.

You can safely assume that if Mr. Subaru put one in the engine bay it probably serves some purpose or another
Not not all purposes are good for enthusiasts.... Cars are made by bean counters.

oh man, right on the swage line D:
Dont think they can PDR that one, that sucks.

The internet indicates you need an adaptor, something that looks like this possibly.
/i havent worked on a BP, but did some google-foo

i'd be interested to know how well it fits into the housing, looks like its a normal square filter

at least its an easy fix!

Nah, just dust filters like the Ryco

Yup, and IIRC when i was looking around the activated carbon filter was $$$
I swear by carbon in my daily, without it in rush hour i was getting a headache on the way to work every day.

I replaced mine with the Ryco equivilent. Cost like $60 iirc
http://www.ryco.co.nz/catalogue/part/index/part/RCA283PMay i ask, why you bothered with a Ryco one at that price? As i posted above, the genuine one with holder is only $70 inc gst or so retail. Less if you can get trade.

Keep in mind the rego is based off year of first registration anywhere in the world, not when it was made. If it sat on a dealers lot for a year, it could be an early 2002 build, registered here as a 2003, for example.
