Does the Pro wholesale guy not pop on here anymore? I bought a red one off them back in the day and its been great, was cheaper than what they wanted for them at redline etc.

Haha I know. If I am in town tomorrow night ill try and take a pic, my car's pretty dirty at the moment tho

Yeah I know where it is!! But don't have the time!

Yup the background is that its a car for my sister thats living down in Queenstown, we couldnt find anything that suited her down there but found her a nice 04 impreza hatch up here. Now just want to get it down the cheapest and easiest way. Would love to drive it down and fly back but starting back at work on the 11th and flights seem to be extra pricey at the moment something about the national sevens being held down there at the moment ??? Yeah that was for just the delivery no collection or anything, thats why I thought it was a little over the top. Apparently Christchurch is way cheaper so looking into that option. [quote name='caspros said: Jeff Ward. Don't remember the pricing, but used them a couple of times, and always good. Will look into these options Cheers Guys

Anyone know any really good car transport companies? We need to get a car from Auckland to Queenstown. I have tried most of the ones that pop up in Google and the best quote I have so far is $1,200ish. Is that good or not? Can anyone recommend any other businesses to try? Thanks Andrew

Ah that could be it, as the tint stickers look newish on windows. But by metallic tints do you mean those sliver mirror ones? As mine are just the normal black ones and don't look overly dark

Sweet will have a look next time a pull the headunit out. Wouldnt imagine that it would make too much of a difference tho as the reception was poor with the old (standard) unit. Does anyone know if you can get boosters for them?

Hi guys, my V8 Sti has had pretty poor radio reception since I bought it I have switched the head unit out for a new one with a aux but the reception is still just a bad as before. The aerial plug in the back the headunit looks fine and there is no reason why it shouldnt be working well. Has anyone else with the in-window aerial had any issues with this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Why not impressed with Kent/Speedsources service atm?

Asking myself the same question at the moment too. Thinking I might try SpeedSource this time around but have been to Garry Capper in the past and he has been great.

Haha nice, yeah I forgot my camera

I have to head to the Brew Shop over there on Sat so if no one beats me to it ill try and take a pic

Today I somehow managed to lock, my phone plus my only two sets of car keys and alarm remotes in my car Worst part was that my keys were just sitting there in the ignition and for some reason the car locked itself haha. Not ideal.

Interested to know where exactly that shot was? I would of picked point chev or something like that, but proberly completely off haha

Got a V8 Sti in the end, goes pretty good considering its completely standard. Have a few little questions so might try and catch up with Marc and what not this weekend!

Picked up new car from down country, decent 6 hour drive back to Auckland ;D Went well except for some large boost spikes and a possible boost leak, will have a proper look tomorrow tho

Drove through there today, but was in a Swift so don't think it counts

I think he means his coupe needs a tidy up.

Looks tidy, but surely thats STI money?

Change your driving style?

Thats different tho, as this is a GDB, but just doesn't have some of the usual STI bits

not strictly true.. the earlier ones can be flashed. just not as easily and the tech was not brought to NZ to do it.. maybe one shop brought it in for the v5/6 from memory. Yup! but I don't think too many tuners have the software. Also can't you buy piggy back chips that are somewhat tunable? I would imagine they would be cheap, but no doubt dodgy if they havn't been fully tuned for your car.

+1 What a dealer says its worth and what you may get for it on trademe will no doubt be two very different things! Post up the details and I am sure we can help you out

This is his old auction: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Subaru/auction-318438273.htm Where he has posted up the identification plates but as you can tell, he clearly has something to hide. Mind you 5.5k seems quite cheap for a straight wrx anyway?
