  1. Is it worth getting one? Does it pick up all cameras and guns?

    I do stick to the speed limit but it\'s pretty hard to stick to the speed limit when over taking. I don\'t know how you can actually overtake another vehicle within the legal speed limit lol.

    I just don\'t like driving behind someone who slows right down on every single corners, and go hard on straights...

    I\'m just going to be using the detector as a precaution thing, especially now that I have to do quite a lot of business trips from Auckland to other parts of North Island...

  2. Is there any tyre shops in Auckland who trade in old tyres whens buying a new set?

    The old ones are in warrantable condition. I\'m just looking to upgrade.

    I know I could sell the old set on trademe but trade in is more convenient.

  3. I think my GF8 V2 has KYB shocks and King springs installed by the previous owner.

    I\'m looking to replace to stiffer shocks, any recommendations?

    Mostly road driving but something stiff enough for occasional open track days. Not interested in coilovers.

    Trying to listen to the radio with the aerial not plugged in?

    Have you used a wiring loom adaptor on the car wiring side or have all the plugs been cut off?

    There are no factory amps in Imprezas

    Radio aerial is plugged in.

    There was no wiring loom adaptor on the car side. I think the previous owner has cut it if there is supposed to be one.

  5. Trying to install a pioneer head unit on GF8 / Version 2 WRX

    The head unit turns on fine but theres no sound.... I have now checked the wiring twice, seems to be ok.

    Is there a factory amp I need to wire through?

    Any suggestions on where to look for the problem?

    Does putting your foot on the brakes make any difference to the noise?

    Nope, but gets noisier when turning sharper to left.

    Id put money on wheel bearing.

    Jack the car up, spin the wheel, does it grind? its the bearing. whiggle the wheel (carefully, if the jack falls, well, i mean what is this acc?) lots of play, ya bearings are probably stuffed.

    Ever had them replaced? How many k on the car?

    It's done 115km, I haven't changed and not sure if previous owner did...

    I've done what you said and seems to be ok. Probably doesn't mean much at all but passed wof only last week with no prob.

  7. What's your excess like? Managed to get a quote from State by increasing the agreed value of the vehicle by $500... but the excess is $2,000

    I will try to get quotes from Club Auto and NAC. Thanks for recommendation

    Received a letter from NAC today notifying me that the thieft excess will be increased from $1,000 to $2,000. Maybe they don't want me??

  8. '95 WRX hatchback, $1200 to insure??? This is with NAC

    Only mods are exhaust, shocks, lowering springs and rims... most companies wouldn't insure it

    Sounds a bit ridiculous to pay that much for a car that's worth about $6k

    Can anyone suggest me an insurer?

  9. I bought a bigger battery and the threaded rods for holding battery is not long enough >:(

    Just to gain a few mm, is it alright to remove the plastic battery tray?? Should be no issue yeah? ???

    Or anyone know where I can get longer threaded rod with bend/hook at the end?

    Also I found rust under the battery tray... which I'm not happy about because I only had the car for about 2-3 months. Would this be considered as structural rust for wof?
