So, these little gauges can hook into the CAN system and then ... read whatever? Clever! Another reason for me to get a Link..

Being the long weekend, just been paid, thought time for a mini project - so I popped down to my local Supercheap, picked up a new Headunit for my WRX: The mini project was ... 30 minutes all up. Including time to figure out why my front speakers weren't working, I had the RCA's for the Sub and the AMP around the wrong way. Despite having an AMP.. this headunit sounds MUCH better. I'm happy as!

Aw man, sorry to hear that happened to you! Sh*t happens, no one got hurt, so don't worry! TBH - your theory sound solid, I think these engines are the interference type, so valves and a piston probably kissed.. a lot

I haven't considered it, no, but at the moment I am getting carried away restoring the car than driving it A friend and I went to replace the o2 sensor, but it's well jammed in the header so we popped down to Pick-a-Part but all the 2L subaru's had the headers sworn in half, I guess to get the CAT out easier, FML. In saying that - would anyone know the part number or what 3 wire o2 would fit an EJ204 ? The internet doesn't know about these motors until 2005+ ararrrgh

Swapped steering wheeling for one that is a lot nicer:

Notice. The ol' WRX shell and a loud exhaust = no mid bass. I've got an under seat sub that helps a little but, but it's not loud enough

What speakers did you opt for? I think I put some Focal ones in the WRX, paired with a little Sony 4CH amp, but they sound quite muddy and I haven't been able to EQ them to anything nice. Today - the Popemobile got a new knock sensor and new plugs. It had a CEL which I'm sure was for the knock sensor.. but the one I pulled out looks OEM and only a few years old.. Another thought was it's the o2 sensor.

Last year, a friend Mitch and I went halvsies in a 1999 Impreza SRX with the idea of beating it on the track when he's up from Queenstown and I'd personally use it a hack to take tramping and throw the bike in. Recently I've started to tidy it up a little: I think some new struts all round, 16" wheels with some better rubber and if I can some GTB sway bars, it will be a very fun little car, with no power

Don;'t suppose you'd be able to chuck up some photos at some point? I have a Pi4 kicking about doing not a lot, lack a lot brain cells, but I wonder if I could wrangle together something for my WRX, with some chatgpt help

Not wrong - less interior rattles would be so nice too

A friend put sound deadening on the fuel tank and said it helped a lot.. could be another place to think about.

I don't think my WRX is as well put together as yours

God I'd love to put sound deadening on the roof, but im far too paranoid that I'll create more interior rattles when removing trim an trying to put it back

Oh man I can't see this now

I'm with ClubAuto, and I know no better insurance wise. GTi and 2002 WRX with them.

Hmmm, I have inherited a 1999 SRX, could totally replace the o2 with no real repercussions.. tempting.

Would you trust an AliExpress sensor?

Aww I was going to be cheeky and ask for a ride now it's been tuned. When did you move back up north? I actually did some work on my WRX for the first time .. a while. - new O2 - new handbrake shoes - new coolant hoses Going to start getting it ready for Flat Nats in Oct.

Cheers for the update! Awesome to see 98/100 becoming more common eh? My WRX may almost make it from Wanaka to Hoki on a tank of 98

Pop ye bonnet, and get a buddy to listen near the brake master cylinder as you depress the brake . I recon Gripless is onto it.

Do it! Well, when we find out where FN23 is going to be

I'll come up from Chch if you trailer down to Manfield, deal?

Message Dave at BrakeTech, he will look after you: https://www.facebook.com/Braketech I heard Bendix Ultimates are EOL for 4 pots Welcome back - loved seeing your GC8 rip up Manfield

Keep it covered in must and go for most dirty car.. if there is an award

AWesome! Got anything to do prior? Wash it? I think we may have met once.. but I can't remember to be honest.
