Yae merry Christmas from me!
Thanks Scarles

Lolz to the above, still want to get a Ford v8 ute one day....One of those cars, that I will never "need" but just always wanted to drive...Even more so with them being discontinued soon.
Agree with the subaru doing smaller engines idea, when looking around I just wasn\'t convinced at a 2l impreza hence I went with the h6 legacy. I still feel the legacy really fills the impreza space ie more legroom etc
H6 is nice!
This little thing go\'s like the clappers for such a small engine, I really would love to see Subaru do a small engine along similar lines as this car.
-
One of the guys at work has a new impreza sedan. Went for a drive in it today, although a nice car it is not much of a match for similar money to this.
I seriously think Subaru need to do smaller engines in cheaper cars... maybe that 1.6l turno they have in an impreza size car with some handling and styling bits... just sayin, just sayin...

That\'s big feet for a little 1.6.
Even has motorsport cred as a Chevrolet in WTCC and BTCC.
;D
Yes very big feet indeed, makes ofr nice driving. Surprisingly quite.
Been looking into the motorsport cred, but those motors are turbo 2L, so apart form the shape not much shared really IMHO
No moved back to NZ still in CHCH, sample photo as far too lazy to get my but outside and take a pic and then upload...

BOC, Territory Manager
Cruze is a company car, has 45km on the dial... Fully optioned lease = Holden desperate for sales
Sits on 235/45R18 Bridgestone Re002...
1.6 turbo = not half bad work car, waay better than a Falcodore...
And OMG the stereo/satnav thing is great, will navigate using your phone contacts...

Hey team
Been super busy at work.
My new ride is a SRiV Holden Cruze

What about subieboy at Tony\'s Tyres ?
He knows his stuff.
Yep sorry team I left some time ago to pursue other opportunities. Most of the crew I worked with and trusted have moved on to other business.
I can however recommend some places:
RDL do them from memory...
Murray Beatson Wheel Allignments - Sydenham somewhere
Bridgestone select on Moorhouse ave - talk to Vicki, tell her Tony sent you (ex TTSL Lincoln Rd)
Bridgestone select on Blenheim rd
Tonys Tyres Papanui - See Marc and as above I sent you.
Beaurepairs Rangiora - good operator, family has been going there for several years
Flags in Woolston I heard was OK
-
Magoo Mufflers?
-
Farken nice
-
Good find
-
If youdo it yourself, less than $20...

any "smartphone" with google maps installed, even if you go onto trademe and buy a half decent android device and run it with no sim, as long as you do your NAV search within wifi it should download the required maps( only downside really of them as they prefer a data connection)
Actually go buy this Garmin Asus A10, I have one of these as my back up phone it has NZ maps installed and is one of the best nav devices I have ever used, does not need a data connection BUT with one makes it even better

we have owned all the reputable brands:
tom tom was irritatingly annoying to use,
navman took you on fucked up detours at random times,
garmin has been most reliable

Come visit this weekend, I\'ll do it for ya, go to Supercr@p/Ripco and pick up the loom adaptor, makes life easy

Ebay or maybe try Braxton lights.

Fixed the windscreen wipers,
turns out on the bh a bush (plastic socket like cap) wears out causing sloppy wiping.
The short term fix is to bush it out (I used a washer).
Long term is to visit a wreckers and get the assembly anď pull the entire unit and pull one of the other plastic caps and replace the bushed out one.
sure beats the hell out of replacing the complete assembly. I will post how to shortly.

Nice trick

Awesome, thanks for your inputs guys, I was considering sticking with the RE002\'s since i\'ve used them before and they held up pretty well. Are the NT05\'s still cheaper the the RE002s?
Yes generally cheaper, you may get better mileage from them as well TBH... (usual caveat of wheel alignments being done etc...)
-
RS2 has been OOP for ages.
Haven\'t seen the replacement RS3 in NZ.
I have Nitto NT05s on the Golf and they are great in the dry and not too bad in the wet.
At the time they were cheaper than BS RE002 too.
;D
Nito NT05 hands down tbh.
used to sell BS, Nitto, Kumho, et al. Nitto real bang for buck. Sold them to a few guys that do track work in GTR skylines, they seem to last very well. Handling etc also very good

I would have 1, especially the red one.
Would love a hard top

Does it have the caliper brackets already welded to the axle, some trailers come specced with it for the optional brakes,if so you will have to find out what type of caliper the bracket is for ( Trojan,CM or the 1 or 2 others )
I have used both Trojan and CM both are well made and work well
Yes, they are CM spec I believe.
New is a bit dear for us, may have to get preloved (but then need $$$ so we can budget for it)
