    It has been a few years....

     

    I see earlier in this chat that the Queenstown/Wanaka area was a big question mark for 98 but they now have it at Wanaka at the new BP just before the township. I didn't see it in Queenstown. I visited both for the airshow. Currently sitting at $3.32 before 6c loyalty card discount. 

     

    Cromwell reports having it as well on the website. Wanaka does not, but I gave them a call before I travelled down and filled up there twice. 

     

    I also saw two NPDs in Cromwell and Frankton with 100+ Octane

     

    Greymouth also has 98 at their Mobil as well as their BP. 

     

    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 :D

    Legend that will do nicely. I'm not married to the Ultimates so happy to have someone who knows what there talking about recommend for me.

     

    Gosh I miss Manfeild... I was chatting to my WOF guy today and he reckons  the 6-7 odd years hes now been doing my WOFs I have done less than 1500 KM combined on them. I didnt, but I do now and it made me a bit sad.

     

    Wifey and I made a deal today I am going to spend a few bucks on the car over the next year so might see me around a bit although Manfeilds a hike now. Maybe if Flatnats is there next year I could trailer queen her down.

     

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

    What have you done to your car today?

    Over the weekend I drove my WRX for the first time in... 4 months.. and proceeded to rip the front lip off and the clutch started slipping.. so back in the garage it goes until I can afford to replace the clutch.

     

    The lip, I'll bin in and replace it with an EZ lip at some point.. the bumper has cracking through it so I may get it repainted.

     

    Still makes cool noises when not on full boost though :)

     

    Car is getting a new clutch at the moment.. plus the rocker covers, rear main seal and the PCV valve and hoses replaced. Hopefully pick it up a in a couple of weeks.

     

    Front lip is gone..and I kind of prefer the cleaner look.

    There's about 2 on the market that aren't pieces of complete s***.

     

    The non-brand ones are utter garbage and will collapse if you pull too much vacuum through them.

     

    Can confirm you get some wooshy noises when on song.

     

    Can confirm non-brand ones are garbage, my one is. Was a nightmare to install and lots of adapters to make vac lines fit. Thankfully  it doesn't collapse under pressure.

    Is it bad to launch WRX every so often?

    Haha yeah I just feel dumb as, I hate doing things like that.

     

    Just out of curiosity, I am always weary that the trans could go, especially since I have a 200,000km vehicle. What is the best option to fix at a decent price. I don't want to spend 4k on a full STI swap, so do you just buy a used 02 trans? Or is it better to buy a used 03 - 05 trans? Or any other options?

     

    Drive it, enjoy it, worry about the trans when something happens - K's really aren't everything, service history plays a big role.. If it does go pop, just throw in another, or even try find a 5sp STi box with the right ratio to match your rear diff and get back to it.

     

    My car has done 147,000k and 4th gear is crunchy, not the end of the world and it still gets a beating when I drive it.
