Hey guys,

Want to buy an STI wagon, thinking about these two, any advice?

Thought it was a bit strange the blue one has been on for so long...

Any comments, advice or things to look out for would be much appreciated! Also, although I haven't met any of the Auckland members yet, would anyone be able to accompany me to look at them as I'm not much of a mechanic....

Cheers,

Ben

my opinion id go with the silver one.looks nicer/cleaner and also you see to many blue v7 wagons around.

are you only looking at v7 wagons?wnt not any v5'-v6's?

the other thing Im suss about the blue one is that the photo's were taken in 2007...and when I rang the asian guy on the other end was unbelievably rude, I get the feeling that seeing as it's been listed since Feb maybe someone is pressuring him to sell it when he really doesn't want to (mum & dad or gf). Will go and look at both this weekend and see what they are like, I want 2000+ so I assume only V7 up and my budget is $11,500 max...

the other thing, look at the brake discs on the silver one....rusty as, is this just due to the car not being driven for a while and will come off with use?

Also, why does the silver one have a different steering wheel does anyone know if this was a factory change or has he grabbed one off a later model car...which could mean it has had a collision at some stage and had the airbag come out?

I also noticed DCCD dial but didn't know that V7's didn't come with it. 6 speed with DCCD would be mint wouldn't it? Ok so Auckland members, who can come with me Saturday to view the silver one in Albany?

slightly OT.. but

some v7 spec C (must have been non ABS) came with DCCD, this was max 55 / 45 split.

v8 sti onwards all came with dccd.. they went back to 65/35 split.

and yes.. dccd on the 6mt is awesomeness ;D

I meant no V7 STI wagons (or any STI wagon) got DCCD.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
