  1. The issue I can see you having is the programming of the key, with the right equipment it should be able to easily do it, buy a unprogrammed blank from ebay ( make sure it is a complete blank including all the electronics) then using what ever is needed to program the key to the car and done.

    The unit to program the key is the issue, I have just done this to our JDM 2008 Vellfire, the smart key was available from Toyota at a reasonable price ( $200 ) so I just bought that, I may of been able to get one from ebay but a/ I could get it the next day b/ 100% sure it would work c/ wanted to still have the abilities from the original remote ( twin electric side doors). I then plugged in my Gscan 2 went to the correct option followed the instructions on programming the new key.( took about 30 seconds) and was done.  Seems simple enough except the Gscan2 is a $12,000 unit.It would program the key for your subaru, not sure if there is a cheaper unit that will do it.

  3. You can buy new steelies out of OZ upto 15" but not overly cheap ( also can get alloys but will cost in excess of $1000 for a set) 

    @DacerX is doing a 5x 100 conversion on his RX11 using the parts from an XT6 

    you can redrill your hubs to 6 stud and use pretty much any 4wd rim

    other than that you are pretty screwed, I have a couple of sets of 14" i scored of trademe but there has not been much on there of late.

  4. I am a toyota fan, always have been always will be, have an 05 hilux, 310000km never missed a beat, I have never done the injectors, the auto is good, run it in 4wd once in awhile, running it on 20's, handles bloody well, goes good. 

    the Isuzu dmax's are good better then the colorado

    The nissan seems good 

    would not touch ford/mazda

    would not touch chinese/indian built just yet maybe another 5 years

  5. OK we are looking for a new vehicle to replace the Estima, Most likely another Estima because of 8 seats BUT I stumbled on to these so here are my questions 

    1/ body/ drivetrain which platform are they on ( guessing Legacy/Levorg) Engine 2lt t but what version ? 

    2/ Does anyone here own one that has a owners manual/ or know where i can look at one, want to know if rear seats are car seat compatible ( believe it or not MOST 7/8 seat vehicles rear most seats are not car seat "legal" ) 

    3/ any known issues 

     

    Thanks guys I am so not up to the play with anything newer than 1990 :)

    I got a brumby too! My old man had one when I was a youngun so picked one up for a cupla hundy buuttt upon tearing S*** apart to see how much work it was I found so much hidden rust it wasn't funny. The hunt for a reasonable one continues.......

    Oh you are going to hate me then :) I found mine in a barn in Tauranga, non runner but pretty good body wise, had a fuel issue ( turned out being a blocked pickup in the tank now fixed) 200,000 km on clock for $600, runs mint, no oil use does not over heat :)
