Had one in at work (just down the road from you in Porana rd) about 5 months ago. They look rather interesting from below... Hard on tyres though ;D

yeah, but not as much as they are underated...you just have to know which TYPE to get ;D As to the Legacy Vs WRX: 90 Legacy (GT Auto) was a nice, well apointed car that could move rather quickly when needed. While in stock trim it was no STI, it was miles ahead of my previous US and Aussie 6 and 8 cyl cars in both performance (very much including handling here) and creature comforts. A wee bit more boost, decent exhaust, RS ECU with a/m chip and some new suspension made it come alive. 96 GT wagon was a boat; tons of room and smooth driving, but not as rewarding as a WRX. Must say though, they do have a nice shape to them, especially when lowered. A decent set of tyres, coilovers and some V4 STI seats completely changed the experience though; nice firm ride, with quick and sharp turning response. If only they came with one turbo... V2 STI was a shock! After the 90 Legacy, i was almost drunk from the performance. So similar to the legacy but yet so much more capable in every department. If you have never driven one through a nice twisty back road, go out and do it now! V3-4 WRX (wagon). Following on the STI (stolen ), it was a let down to be sure. Not as boat-ish as the TT but nothing as crisp as the STI, and the TD04 was rather limp, but id did have enough room to move flats in. A set of Tein adjustables and a new VF22 and it was all but the equal of the STI. Didn't quite feel as nimble (but that could just be me thinking it's a station wagon). V7 RA Spec C What can i say...Legacy's AND STI's only wished they were... Despite the fact that the Spec C is top of my list, i would have to say i miss the TT Legacy wagon the most...

Ha ha, I ALWAYS blame Auckland drivers... ;D

Should clear... Lower the number, the further out the wheels sit.

Irridium plugs seem to work better than platinum too. My 97 WRX was quite happy with 16-17psi(was fitted with a brand new VF22 though). 80,000km, down pipe, standard everything else except muffler.

Yep, specially when used with a Profec B...

Get some 45 or 42 offset rims to position the wheels slightly further out (also try to get 7.5 inch wide, then you can comfortably run 235/45R17's)

Has anyone had a reliable history of regular octane booster addition to their lower octane (95) fuel? If so, what brand, what mix and what octane/brand of fuel?

I average 60L a week. and i don't get to run 95 at 1.65 bar
