    can rule out imobiliser if using blank key

     

    reckon its the starter motor ay : brushes wear out, about $80 for new parts or recon / second hand starter

     

    you can get another month or two out of it by tapping it vigoursly with something long & solid

     

    socket extension handle etc (as the starter is obscured by the TT equipment & also makes it harder to replace / service the starter too

    Whats happening in Wellington?

    in Wellington / Kapiti

    I'm WELL out of the  area but Thurs nights "used" to be a meet @ the Esplande in Petone

     

    just a suggestion could re-invent that (we're talking @Davebro days back in the early 2000's

     

    could mix it up & do a Kapiti spot for Wedges & a beer once in a while too 

     

    (just a suggestion & I'm poking my nose in)

     

    gets some locals out & usually an excuse for a 'drive' or tiki tour "there" or back

     

    also no reason you ant just say Central Welly or your usual Cafe out Miramar for a Burger (also fun trip around the bays etc :P)

    Fitting of or modification to:

    LVV certification is not required provided that:

    Substitution of engines

    • when compared with the OE engine, the replacement engine:
      • is of the same or less cubic capacity, and
      • has equal or less weight, and
      • uses the same fuel (petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG), and
      • uses the same unmodified attachment points and system (i.e. bolts-in), and
      • uses the same family of block and cylinder head from the same vehicle manufacturer, and
      • the block has the same number of cylinders arranged in the same configuration, and
      • the head has the same number of valves and camshafts, and
      • meets the requirements of minor modifications detailed below, and
      • when the minor modifications have been taken into consideration the total power or torque increase is no more than 20% over the OE engine specification.

     

    even if it is already AWD

    Gearbox substitution

    • the OE gearbox cross-member has not been heated, cut or welded,
    • the OE gearbox cross-member mounting to the OE body or chassis members is unchanged,
    • no replacement gearbox cross-member is used,
    • the OE driveshaft(s) is unmodified,
    • no substantial modifications have occurred to the floor or gearbox tunnel area, other than provision for gear-shift mechanism,
    • the braking system is not modified or changed, including the brake pedal.

     

    OE means Original Equipment (regardless of if its from another subaru substituting Turbo parts for Non Turbo is not factory replacement)

     

    Hello @BLAZD (aka R's Garage 10 years later 100k deep with 1jZ swap & the Rota Ferrari destroys it with 15k still only worth $500

     

    shorter story would also be talk to your Local cert guy before you start wrecking you car eh :P

    and yes even a Manual conversion USING factory parts technically requires a cert as soon as you MOD or SWAP the Brake Pedal, everything else is fine

     

    that one pedal is a rather crucial part of your safety & there are numbtys that cant not cross thread things aye
