How difficult is this? Should I DYO or take to the experts?

I removed both mine from the V8 STI without engine faults

I have owned NZ new (either first or secondhand) subarus since the bugeye came out. I have never had anyone try to steal them. Unfortunately all the bastards do is break the window to steal radar dectors etc.

I have the 2.5 V11 STI they are deceptively fast, but I miss my V8 STI :-(

thanks

I have just had new tyres fitted and did the usual wheel alignment, ballance etc. I found out afterwards that they used the specs for a '07 car, not mine. The settings used and the correct specs are below, does anyone know if the difference is important or not? Actual Correct Spec Front camber L-0.57 R-0.46 -0.127degrees Caster L6.06 R6.24 5.920 Total toe front L0.2 R0.2 0.000 Rear camber L-1.45 R-1.15 -1.250 Total toe rear L0.6 R0.6 Total 1.2 0.000

will be at Hampton Downs on the 14th of September

the Herald was an old world paper version. More difficult to copy and paste.

depends which article you read. The Herald quoted 310 kw yesterday

only 75 from EAUTO "2010 Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 First Detail By eauto The result of one of the most eagerly anticipated automotive collaborations in recent times is heading fast towards Subaru dealerships. The Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 officially goes on sale in June, and is set to offer performance-car fans the thrill of a lifetime. Subaru has confirmed the car will boast an impressive 400PS (395bhp) at 5,750rpm, sufficient to dispatch the 0-62mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds (compared to 300PS / 296bhp at 6,000rpm,and 5.2 seconds for the standard Impreza WRX STI). This ensures the Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 will be one of the most accelerative all-wheel-drive hatchbacks ever. Subaru also reports that the Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 will feature a bespoke brake package – with six-pot callipers and 355mm discs at the front – developed in partnership with AP Racing, giving the car prodigious stopping power. Coventry-based AP Racing is a leading supplier of brake and clutch components to teams in the Formula One Championship and the World Rally Championship, as well as to leading supercar brands including Bugatti. A wide range of further upgrades have been made to the suspension, exhaust and to the donor Impreza’s exterior and interior styling. An exclusive, limited edition run of 75 Cosworth Subaru Impreza STI CS400 will be produced, and full details of pricing and technical specification will be announced closer to the on-sale date. "

Does anyone have a contact / experience in buying genuine STI parts ex Japan? I am after a STI replacement muffler for my STI. This is a V11 or whatever came after the V10. Stop laughing; talking to Wingers today in the tron they have fitted one for a customer. The good news is as it is an STI part my warranty is not affected and no WOF hassles etc.

Have you found any of these in your area? "ACC has been buying old police radar gear in a covert plan to thwart speeding motorists. The radars have been mounted on power poles at up to 70 sites nationally, and are intended to fool drivers with detectors in their cars into thinking police are nearby. Five radars have also been bought by school bus companies to slow motorists around children, and another six have been requested. Official estimates put the number of motorists with radar detectors at about one in 10. A Wellington firm, Emergency Vehicle Systems, buys the radars from the police and sells them on renamed as "drones". They are used as part of a project between ACC's road safety action planning group, police, the Transport Agency and councils. It has been under way for about a year, and about $7000 has been invested so far. ACC buys the drones for around $150 and passes them on to the agency, councils and others for distribution. Injury prevention manager Phil Wright said yesterday that 10 drones were initially trialled in Canterbury for six months before being shifted to the North Island. While there had been no plan to keep the project secret, ACC had been happy for it to remain under wraps, he said. "We didn't tell anyone as we thought it would be best if, when a signal went off, motorists didn't assume it was part of this programme," Mr Wright said. In the last financial year, ACC received claims worth at least $81 million relating to crashes where speed was a factor. Mr Wright said the radar idea had followed on from a proposal by Harry Duynhoven when he was Labour's Transport Minister to ban detectors. "[Detectors] are sold to people who are the more hardcore speedsters. They are an essential element in a boy-racer car. "They are banned in Australia. Even if they were banned here, there is a couple of years' leeway for retailers. We thought, 'What can we do in the meantime?"' Current minister Steven Joyce's office said yesterday that he was still awaiting advice from officials on the proposed detector ban. It was revealed in July that police had begun removing radars from their fleet throughout the country. The drones are also being used by roadwork contractors to attach to their machinery. ACC refused to discuss the location of the drones. Pukekohe resident Bob Prangnell discovered three of the devices when his radar detector started going off, despite there being no police cars in sight. "They're all within 10 miles of my house. I drive those roads reasonably often and something was always giving off a radar when there were no police around ... One day, I slowed down and had a look around and saw these things and took some photos." Mr Prangnell, who's had a detector for eight years, said the drones were a clever idea. But he was concerned that if they were placed too close to potentially dangerous areas such as intersections, drivers whose devices beeped might slow down suddenly, resulting in their being rear-ended by other cars."

love my V1 (bought direct from US) Still don't drive faster than you can afford $$ as instant on and laser will get you

just sold my V8STI after 140,000k from new. No mechanical dramas. Be wary of 'clunky' difs. If you abuse the manual setting of the DCCD you can stuff things.

get the idiots off the road, use the existing laws (there are more than enough) to target 'boy racers'. I don't agree with giving the police any new powers to raise revenue (and meet quotas) by targeting anyone with a performance japanese car. Maybe if they took the police out of their Sh*t Fords and Holdens they might be less anti ricers!
