It looks broken......How does that go around a corner with out bump steering into a bank?
-
Thats a bugger, obviously no luck with a decent deal with the yard.

Im got different thoughts to the other guys, get the dealer to fix it, but do get a second opinion on the damage (not a backyard mechanic) plus an agreed repair process before you start. That way you end up with a new car with a new engine, whats to say you don\'t go and buy another one and get the same issue 4-6months down the track and its out of dealer warranty. Providing it was fixed right, you should be problem free (which they have to sort anyway if you get any in the first three months) and it will have better resale value (with receipts) in the future.
I saw that car on TM, worth keeping in my opinion, rare at nz new to.
My 2c anyway.

These things must be easy to roll, my cousin rolled one on sealed road trying to do a handbrake slide and I saw one on tv that had been rolled also after attempting a handbrake slide

On a wet road, I can get mad full countersteer hella drift yo, on a dry road, this happens.
Need to adjust suspension and centre of gravity.
I think you will need to cut the roof off or fill the floor with concrete change the centre of gravity on that thing

you missed a broken bit, brown undies.

Out of the countless Subarus ive had since, this was top of the list (easily). Not just because it had gobs of power, though now there is plenty with more, but because it was so well set up.
Would be nice to get it back, but im not desperate for it, would be do a rebuild and a few other bits and pieces by now.
-
Id be grateful if some one could get an up to date photo or the number of the guy that owns it, I could be keen to buy it back if I had the opportunity.
-
Just wondering if anyone has seen it around? I sold it to a guy in Whangarei 8 years ago but havnt heard anything about it since. The plates are still active (I think),CDA136
-
I have to admit the v8 is interesting......
what about b6s4 vs b5 rs4 both about the same money now.....
-
How do the old b5 rs4s compare to the b7 ones? other than age and v8 vs turbo, is one known to better than the other?
-
4-5k if you realistically want to move it, maybe 5500.
-
Everything you have said is bang on. For a twenty minute bit of fun sti all the way, for 1.5hrs plus or regular commuting Audi by a long shot. I agree with running costs though, theres always this terror in the back of your mind that something is about to cost you 4k plus, which is about 2k for the same thing in an sti.
As im now getting older and do bugger all kms, kids etc mine next nice car will probably be an audi s4, though will certainly compare against a v9 sti at the same time

So the problem was that there was stones jammed between the the top of the shock and where it fits onto the car, seems like the little bolts up there are a bit long and dont let stones out once theres a few in there. pain in the arse of a spot to.
Also had a sway bar link replaced. Still got another one to do as well i think.
Better now anyway.
-
Its a spring, somethings jammed up on the twisty bit of the shock. Going in to be fixed om Thursday, plus a couple of other nigglys, the old girl is slowly coming right
-
Annoying sound and only happens when you are turning, like some thngs under pressure and slipping.
Anywho, any ideas on the steering rack?
-
Got cusco zero 2 adjustables. Will take it to the mechanic tomorrow and see whats up, want to get it on a hoist and look the bushes anyway. Got another rattle under there I want to stop.
-
Yip i have mine set on soft and it really is pretty good.
-
Just wondering what steering rack is in my car, i have a feeling I have an issue. Something felt like it let go on friday and it is now making a sprongy type sound intermittently when turning, comes from the right side. Its not a clack like a cv.

Welcome to the "comfort" club

The shoulders wore out on my last set of gsd3s even with the proper amount air/alignment etc
-
Its on cusco zero 2 coil overs as well. my assometer also says the the 45s run better than the 40s my old cars had on them, less road noise and hard jolting on the bumps. When you buy the tyres, just ask about road noise as thats the biggest factor with performance tyres. Sometimes a cheaper quality tyre gives a better overall result imo
-
Mines at 330 all round and have 215x45 x 17, I think the guards at the back have been rolled slightly. I dont get any rubbing, but have not done a trip with any weight in the car just a sunday drive with the kids etc. 45s run much better than the 35s that the old 18s were. Im not sure on the km per hour accuracy, seems ok to me. Reads the same on the Apexi RSM as the speedo if that makes a difference.
-
id recommend a sti v7 genome exhaust tip, members on here have spoken good things about them, and i guess they are good, good flow and nice volume to keep the fuzz and wof people happy, im also on the hunt for one!
I have one and yes to the above, nice when just cruising around, when you put your foot down sounds like a different car.
