was looking to go back to a v4-5 sti but cant find one for my budget right now (just sold my v7 sti to clear my CCs) so might look at an alfa 156 or something 2001 audi a3/a4

Hi, Looking at buying a new ride and wanting a decent pre purchase inspection (was a little concerned after watching some of the dodgy ones on target) Who would you guys recommend?

yeah definately going to the cops if the manager doesnt come to the party. when I sold the guys the money had gone from my car they told me "if you had told me it was there I could have looked after it but its hard to prove it was there now..." FN BS~!

Hi, Took my car into the mechanic to get some work done (hadnt been to this shop before) picked up car the next day to find $70 missing from the glove box (yes before you start about I shouldnt have left money in there I know, but it doesnt excuse it going missing) I told the mechanic and he said the owner would call me back (sure enough it didnt happen) Question is what to do now?

Can anyone help me out with a lowered sprig install in my V7 STI (auckland area) ? Cashie, box of beers, swap for computer work maybe? Cheers, Peter 021 661 362

Hi, My V7 sti's Aircon has stopped working. No air being blown, no heat no cold on any settings. ??? Can anyone tell me where to start looking to fix this? Cheers

no way it was driven. locked, immobilized and I had the keys with me at all times.

can anyone tell me what belt that was...? :'(

Sh#t! popped the bonnet and correct me if Im wrong but it looks like Ive lost a belt.

Hi, Left myy v7 sti parked up in the carport for 10 days while I was overseas. Got back, went to start it and it runs REAL rough. ??? Feels like a misfire or something. When I give it some gas it wont rev more than 4,000rpm. Boost goes to 0psi and nothing more. Thought maybe some moisture got in somewhere but not really sure where to start the troubleshooting. Cant really be driven in its current state and dont want to call a mobile mechanic in... Any help would be much appreciated

Hi, Just took my car for its first warranty service only to find out that Im going to need new rotors (front now and rear pretty soon 18.5mm) as well as pads. What is a good price for replacement rotors and pads for my v7 sti? And is there anywhere in Auckland that I can take my ride to? Thanks in advance, Pete

sweet, now we're getting somewhere.. dont suppose anyone has a setup for sale?

already got one of those. The problem is that the AFM appears to be connected directly to the air filter housing on my v7 sti. Am I missing something here...? ???

Hi, Can anyone tell me where I can buy a adaptor for the airflow meter? Im fitting a pod filter on a v7 sti and the afm seems to be connected directly to the oem filter housing... ??? Cheers, Peter

where did you guys get them painted for $300?

Hi, I bought my bel vector 985 radar detector about 8 years ago, recently dusted it off after last using it about 4 years back. Did a quick road trip up north and past 3 cops, one with a radar pointing straight at me and nothing what so ever from my radar ??? Question is, have they changed the technology lately? Is this model obsolete? I was very surprised as this had saved my bacon several times in the past. If it is time for an upgrade to keep my licence save, what would be a good (and reasonably priced) alternative? Cheers, Pete

Hey, Im looking to lower my v7 sti. I had super low king springs in my v4 sti and didnt like them (they sat much lower in the back than the front) What would you suggest out of all the brands available here (not looking for adjusties or anything top end) just something to bring the car down about 40mm Cheers

can you have to replace just the filter (on apexi's) or do you need to buy a whole new unit? (if that makes sense?)

ok, that being said maybe someone has some factory smoke lights that they would like to swap with my crystal (dont know if thats the right term) v7 tail lights...?

Hey, Can anyone tell me how much to paint a set of mags in Auckland? Where is the best place to get the work done? Or better yet has anyone here able to a professional job (cashy?) Cheers

yeah its still under warranty buy Ive only had the car since thusday...

Thanks guys! Will be taking it back to the yard to have them sort it out...

Hey, Just got the new car. Slight problem: The revs arent dropping between gear changes ??? ??? So Id be in 2nd take it to 5000rpm, clutch in to change and the revs would stay at 5000rpm (usually Id expect them to drop as soon as I press the clutch) . The car is pretty stock except for what looks like an HKS blow off valve. Any help would be much appreciated... Cheers

sweet! thanks for the heads up

Hi, Are "blacked out" tail lights illegal?
