Buy my gauges ;D Comes with a temp sensor, only a few months old.. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=571022497

And yea it also comes down to spoke design as well.. Mine clear the brembos buy about 15mm, so I have no issue at all.. (Work XD9's) Best to see if you can test fit one up to be 100% sure

Can definatly get them to fit.. I have 18x9" +30 on my ver 9 Sti. Fronts fit up without a problem, just did a slight roll on the guards.. But the rear took a bit more to get to fit, had to roll and pull the guards a bit, and I run a fair bit of camber as well, to get them to tuck under.. Not a ridiculus amount, but definatly more than normal haha.. But in saying that. Mine are a +30 offset, so the two options you have listed about will sit a little further in than mine, so shouldnt be as tight in the guards.. Hope this helps ;D

Ah perfect! Thanks guys.. Todays the day haha.. And then off for a tune tomorrow. ;D

Ah yep. Cheers Funky.. Will this not flood the engine with fuel though? Or will it be alright?

Hey Im just about ready to start my car for the first time in about 4 months.. It has a new turbo installed, and i want to crank over the engine for a while to get the oil circulating and through the turbo before I actually start the car.. Whats the best way to do this? I dont want to flood the motor, so would the best way to be to pull out the fuel pump fuse? Or is there better ways? Thanks in advance.

Haha.. Its a work in progress at the moment.. Not running yet. Na, sensor is standard. So it looks like a air temp sensor? So whats the air temp sensor in the air flow meter for? Or do they run two? Cheers

What is this sensor? Its located under the throttle body of my Ver 9 Sti. Cheers

Great!! Thanks for the help..

Sweet.. Also while we are on the subject.. Does anyone have a pin out of the air flow meter plug, showing which wires are for the temp sensor.. Cheers

Ah great.. Thanks guys, didnt even think to check trademe haha.. Yep I have a FMIC.. So is before the throttle body the go?

Ah yea sweet.. Um well he just said to leave the afm in and use that one, but kinda dont want to run it, rather get a new one and run it in the manifold. Where do you get them from? I have the intake manifold out at the momnet, so getting one tapped into that is no problem, although I am no longer running a pcv valve, so if I could find one to screw into that, would be even better haha Cheers

Hey guys Im about to get my car (Version 9 Sti, for those who dont know it) tuned for the new turbo etc, and have a couple of questions.. I am going to get Gary Capper to do the tuning, and he uses a rom on the factory ecu. Now he said with this rom you dont need an air flow sensor. But you need to keep it in the intake pipe, so he can use the air intake temp sensor on it.. Unless I can rig up a suitable air intake temp sensor somewhere else.. My question is, has anyone out there done something similar.. As I dont want to run the factory afm in the 4" intake pipe.. Can I run one in the intake manifold? Does it have to be anything specific? Cheers David

Hey I have a Version 9 Sti. So here goes my attempt to answer your q's.. 1 - Yes, mine has 2 o2 sensors. One right behind the turbo, and one at the other end like pictured. 2 - No the factory down pipe has 1 cat, and another small muffler (I think) in it.. Definatly 2 mufflers in it though, but one 1 is a cat i believe. 3 - Yes, looks to be in the exact right place 4 - Yep, if you get an exhaust for the right model, it should bolt straight up to the downpipe. 5 - Only thing i can see wrong with it straight away, is that it steps down to the factory size exhaust at the end, so if you get an aftermarket 3" exhaust, it will have to step down to factory size as well to bolt up.. But you could chop the flange off, and get a new 3" one welded on, bit of work, but not to hard to do. Cheers

I have just brought a new alloy radiator for my Version 9 Sti. Now my factory one had a radiator cap on the top of it, as well as the one on the breather tank, and the new one doesnt, and i got the guy to check, and it was the only option for the GDB chassis. Do I need it? Or can I run fine without it.. Old New Cheers David

Also another place to try is Taylor Automotive in Newmarket. This is where i got some work done on my old engine, and was very happy with there work.. Cheers

I have BC Golds in my car as well.. They are a very, very good shock for the money.. They are made in the same factory as Apexi.. I rate them very highly.. Give a nice comfortable ride around the street... And yet they can handle the track just as well... Cheers

Ah.... In that case, maybe not... But id still have a look anyway.. I sell boosters at work (Repco), you could give it a try, ive had mixed reviews on them, some say there great, and some say it didnt make to much difference, so i guess it depends on the car. I could find out a price for you, if your interested.. Cheers

Im pretty sure they have an amplifier for the aerial. And you need to track down the remote wire for it, and connect it to the aerial turn on wire, comming out the back of the head unit. Very common thing to forget to hook up, when installing a new headunit. Well, its like that in most cars with the aerial in the window. Not 100% sure about subarus, but worth a look.. Cheers

Yep, V7 up is different. You need to buy an adapter pipe, like this.....

I run 18x9 with a +30 offset on my ver 9 Sti. The fronts fitted fine, but the rears were a bit harder to fit, if the car is lowered. And a 235 tyre is the minimum you can run on a 9 inch wide wheel, if you want to get a cert etc.. Cheers

Not only the Spec C's got the really quick rack. My 2005 Version 9 Sti, has a quick rack in it as well. 2.25 turns lock to lock. Just thought id let you know. ;D

1/8 NPT im pretty sure...

*Cough* Or your local (or not so local) Repco store. ;D

Your wish is my command ;D Has no sticker on it though lol. But it is a Denso unit. And the part numbers on it are: 22627AA260 079800-7491 And here is a pic.. Cheers
