  1. https://www.drivencarguide.co.nz/news/subaru-wrx-ts-spec-b-for-new-zealand-spoiler-alert/ they are catching on... & wont last long I don't think!
  2. cheers for posting! & Neat!
  3. ahh yeah, I have been warned to service the G-box religiously....
  4. I did same sort of search for 'new' Family car that could tow and sadly, and Gladly! Settled for a 2011 Diesel Hyundai Santa Fe' The best car I've owned so far! and I didn't even know it was Turbo until I pulled the Engine cover off... Average $0.18 per km fuel cost + RUC's over 81x Refuels so far over 5x years of ownership
  5. ID tag lists Trans too aye, ya pushing poo up a hill with that one sorry the PRND321 on the dash might give it away too the cost involved in swapping a CANBUS equipped car these days too is also prohibitive and will be more work than you may realise ❤️
  6. what he said : Good luck with that the Rego sticker means "nothing" Only good for Parking Wardens & Cops (to see if you have some)
  7. it develops further : Source
  8. searching his name gets rather entertaining on FB & leads to this news article etc https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350149093/car-sold-twice-online-never-delivered?fbclid=IwY2xjawJKyoZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHceB5kvM56GNgMBaR8qPSoaNwXWUeeNcya7f0U2T3nsEivpRtwUQkqDDgg_aem_4GjbhlkSzt0HQ6f5hCGLRQ
  9. lets add to the list this guy : rather prevalent on FB apparently source : the Subaru NZ Enthusiasts fb group Jake Marshall << Profile on FB if everyone wants to report etc
  10. haha & yep! lol (in general) Mates a Cert guy & some of the stuff he puts up in his stories really scares me (cars turn up for cert checks with no gas / bald tyres and loose / wrong wheel nuts is only the start eh knocking steering arms on exhausts (hot rods) seats and often even Belts held in by hopes & dreams (bolts but no nuts) hand tight nylox, yeah hand tight, not even engaged...
  11. in theory yes I agree but in reality can people (the Greater-unwashed-Public) really be trusted to do bolts back up tight, or even use the right washer? Especially on critical safety items like Brakes or steering ❤️ kinda why Juddies (Adjustable Suspension) = Cert : are all 'basic' top hat bolts / brake line clips & ride height checks pretty sure anyone logged onto this Forum is capable = yes then there's the FB Group Mechanics yeah nah
  12. Plan for a LVVTA Cert too Fun police here : as soon as you change or touch the Brake Pedal from OEM you need a cert Technically & Legally Speaking ❤️ even if you're simply swapping factory parts they are NOT OEM to that car yes, it can be done, yes people have got wof's without a cert after such a swap I'm trying to find the thread on here, it has been covered before BUT reasonable difficult to search "terms" and it is actually covered on the LVVVTA Site FAQ https://www.lvvta.org.nz/knowledge_base.html screen shot : text version
  13. nope if you're asking me Manuel
  14. I haven't watched the clip yet but I'm heading down the rabbit hole now Audrino based system for "under $20" ("all other" commercially of the shelf items seem to be around $3-400 and yuck)
  15. I'm not into Same Gender relations, but $23'ish is $23'ish 😎 (sorry no actual positive contribution to the thread but kinda temped to buy for the Gravel Express LOL) edit ah shoot near $40 for shipping link for anyone else tempted (no kickback) : www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005439521584.html
