Anyone making the journey down/up to CHCH for Flat Nats? Or just down the road? I'll be there in my wagon Just got an oil and coolant change then a wash and I'll be good to go.

Don't hold your breath welcome too btw

STi Pink springs and STi red struts. To give you an idea of ride height

Good things take time, keep at it bro!

On a trip to a day hike, I reversed into a car park, with a bit of a dip.. I did not realise how big the dip was and pulled the lip off when leaving. The lip was a cheap, not the best fitting one from ebay so I'm not worried and I'm liking the cleaner look TBH

Nearing two years later, same car, no more lip:

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.

Awesome news ! Now if only BP in Greymouth would drop 98 to be comparatively priced to NPD 100

Sadly us Canty guys aren't too active on here these days.. but if you're looking for a workshop, I'd recommend these guys: - SAS - M45 - Crowesport There is a few Chch Subaru Facebook Pages which are pretty active. If you're looking to DIY, I don't think its' too hard, just very fiddly being a Twin Turbo

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 :)

SAS M45 CroweSport My picks

Congrats! I sold my Starlet for a MK6 GTi a few months ago.. still getting used to the DSG quirks, otherwise pretty fun car.

All waxed and ready for summer

Still got my wagon - just started waxing it for the summer Poor thing needs a good hard drive, it's hasnt left the garage in 4 months

I have this in my WRX: https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/shifter-and-bushing-combos/kar-kb-002-wrx-combo-kartboy-short-shifter-and-bushing-combo Love it.

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.

Second this, the Genome is quite a big muffler and the AdrenalinR's sound bloody good. Or if your car still has a mid cat, get that removed.

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.

Nah bro you're all good, WRX's are tough, a launch or two won't hurt.

Sh*t yeah that's awesome! Enjoy

Who is your tuner? They'd know if it's worth going to a STi intercooler.. probably not so much on the TD04, that and the WRX scoop probably isn't tall enough.. Will be interested to see your dyno plot to compare against mine

What happens if you blip the throttle? Does that noise change note? First thought is an exhaust leak somewhere

Yup that was an STi with the EJ25, plus lots and lots of money spent on it

I think you'll be the one to let us know how you get on! Good luck
