THUNDA

Ooooo excite! Will definately get some photos send in once I get the ol girl back ^_ ^

I'd never go to another brand car now that ive gone so far with my old banga But i'd be lying if I said hondas dont build good cars + Their motorbikes are F***ing great This new car looks new car-ish So it will never appeal to the likes of me I like my car with at least 3 dents / worn out / 200,000kms at least

man a toyota corolla hatch bet me on the track last time, any car is fine to race - its just a fun day there is no winning or loosing pretty sure its normal playday rules, if a car is faster than you then just let them past you - its better that way then you get abit of room to yourself loads of different types of cars go on the track - any everyone is pretty like minded - they just wanna drive there car on the track to see what it can do in a safe surrounding all 100% legal If you want to push your car really hard id recommend some decent tyres and get some decent quality brake pads at least last time i was on taupo i had awesome brakes (brembos) and good suspension/engine setup, but my tyres were cheapies and they really held me back in the corners

Hey man, I fixed + killed the rust in the boost myself, I didn't end up taking it to a panel beater or painter as I've been dishing out large in the engine / suspension department. if you see my car in person it definitely shows it's age but in photos it looks relatively mint lol i get all my work done at Subirex automotive, if your in Auckland i highly recommend them and the owner Ajay can probably direct you to a good panel/paint guy also

Pretty sure we all dream of making our cars faster, don't let the dream die! , my Rs looks like a pos on the outside. My dream is having people under-estimate said pos, giving me the advantage, then smoke them on the track good and proper with all the crazy S*** under the hood, honestly can't wait for cyclic idle even though I'll hardly ever use it, I just love what technology can do, and when tech goes into an oldie, it's the icing on the cake for me , also being in the cs calendar that would be mega cool :B

Price seems steep, could be a really tight car but could be just as bad as a cheap v1 at 190,000kms, is it just me or are people trying more and more to make 190,000kms sound like low kms for an old car ? Lol looks good though but as that guy said - could get the sti version for bit more if not the same price first gen wrxs will be getting alot more valuable in the coming years for sure, I imagine a standard v1 sti would make for a great earner if you kept it for 5ish years

Do v7s have that "active steering" S***? does it feel like steering feedback but like x 100 ?

Ive never had one, my mates got one and its annoying as F*** as his car is loud and sits in my driveway for 2minutes bopping I usually just got by this rule - if youve just thrashed it - it given it a good boost, let it run on for a bit when you get home like 1minute If youve given it a boost and then driven for 5minutes nicely without boosting, just give it 15seconds ish when you get home Not saying my way is the best way or even the right way - i just never boost around my house so i dont ever piss my neighbors off, so when i get home ive already been letting the engine chillout during the last 5-10mins of driving

Post of the year !!!! hahahahaha i lold hard

yeah saw that, i actually pmd him on facebook to find out what setup he running lol, always curious about the subis pbms do - he made some decent kWs iirc, would be keen to see it in action

yeah ive got g4 also, did you get cylic idle? have never see it in real life but getting it with my next tune, i got switches and looms wired up for launch controll and anti-lag but pbms didnt end up setting them up because of an overheating problem - thats sorted though, so when i get back from overseas hopefully ill be running anti lag/cyclic idle and hi/lo boost, with a fresh tune will be sooo fkn sweeeeeet , will have to start upgrading the driveline soon the poor factory rs diffs are probably shitting their pants hahahaha

evowrx did tell me to get the td06, but i wanted to stick with the td05 as i was worried about having heaps of lag with the td06, after buying the td05 i later found out the lag is pretty much the same lol, in hindsight would have prob gone td06 but already got the td05 and the internal gate is welded up so cant take it back :B o well, im sure ill prob upgrade the turbo later on down the track whenever i do a hit of mods i always say "thisll be the last lot this time" then a couple months later am already planning my next drop off to the money pit hahaha

Just a factory old v1 ej20 with newer model subaru parts on it, last tune was 187kw on BP98 Getting abit more serious this time around though, leaving it with Ajay at subirex for a month while im away, going forged shortblock and new heads, big fuel gear and kinugawa 20g td05, with some other bits and pieces, then a re-tune at pbms, hoping to see some decent boost numbers and around 240kw would make me happeh :B havnt been on the strip just one the track and only once at that, but it was enough to get me sweating between track playdays LOL, cant fking wait untill i can get on the track again

what clutch are you running? mine was good, but with the extra 87kW i got from the tune it doesnt take kindly to launching around here

cool vid, you almost smoked that bike which is awesome - considering the power/weight ratios

Same here, Ajay is a legend, And at pbms I've only dealt with Julius and never had any problems, he always put the extra effort in even though my car is old and far from being in good nic haha I live aaaages away from both places but still only take the Rs to these 2 places

Nice one man, sti too! You'll be set for years of glory would look beautiful in some factory gold v7 wheels with that lovely blue paint :B

i cant see most of these pictures, including this one what site are you linking them from?

Yeah mod first tune later you probably won't need a tune if you keep the afm, you can do pod with the afm - but I think stock air box with a good filter would be better wouldn't it? youll get good gains just by chucking a decent downpipe + exhaust on, pretty sure it's been proven that pods vs panel filters are nearly no different performance wise, you'll hear your turbo spool with a pod though which is definitely kewl :B possum bourne Motorsport is where I went for my tune, great crowd, very professional, and they give you free goodie bag if your special :3 . my Rs has been a blast ever since

You running the factory water-air ic yeah? Super keen to know what IAT you get during the tune - mine was 30* with the Fenix fmic iirc which isn't anything spesh tbh if your going to get a tune you should consider upgrading fuel delivery, and a decat downpipe etc - just the normal stuff . unless you are keeping it factory spec of course

Yeah your right, if your old injector is working when the new one doesnt on multiple swaps it will be just that injector - however this infuriates me - as i paid $200 to get them TESTED & Cleaned - which by the way is about 4 times the normal price - this means the joker on the test may not have done his job properly - but was happy to receive all that coin btw just to confirm that white smoke - i got the same thing but it randomly went away after a little while - think it just all that fuel - id definately change your oil though.

Heya bro, this happened to me last time i messed around with my injectors (with the same set and also another set - but before they were individually cleaned and tested at huge expense) for me it ended up just being spark plugs too wet (because of the gas flow after taking the injectors out flowing down into the head) it took a couple of goes of doing this Start car (car would run on 2/3) leaving new injectors in take out all spark plugs, clean and let dry off (i just burnt mine off 2-stroke bike style but dunno how good it is for them) start car (car would then run on 3) take all plugs out again, clean and dry off start car (car running on 3/4) take all plugs out again, clean and dry off start car (car now running on 4t) was weird for me, but worked in the end, will probably be super annoying for you if your running coil over plugs - mine was easy as im running the v4 wasted spark setup so i could just pull the h/t leads off etc i also had to change my oil as heaps of gas ended up going into the oil from changing injectors back and forth the injector you took out that was causing the missfire could have been fine if that particular spark plug was dripping wet, but id leave it as is, as for the white smoke - if it is smoke then thats probably not good, however i know you live down the line abit so if it was cold its probably just excess fuel vapping off/burning off, you could have gas in the oil also this the 2nd time something you've bought from me has played up - im starting to feel bad lol! be honestly those injectors were cleaned and tested which is why i put the receipt in there for you! real sorry dude - willing to refund you coin - i dont mind calling up the crowd who cleaned them and giving them an earful if you like ^_ ^
