Anyone in Invercargill?? Need HELP!

Hi guys, how\'s is everybody? ;D

My brother after someone (old guy) in Chch crashed his Legacy the insurance is giving him money instead fix his car... so looking on Trademe for a Subaru in good conditions, normal kms, and under 3k I found this Subaru Forester in Invercargil (http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/forester/auction-553972650.htm)

First of all, I know some ones have here Forester Turbo, so wondering how is the petrol consume driving the car normally (in the city and in open roads)... I had time ago a Legacy GTB and it was a bit thirsty (like me LOL) but it was twin turbo, so this ones are better than the twin turbo Legacy?? (in consume I mean).. My brother\'s car is a 1993 Legacy TX-S auto, and is doing like 11km/L in open roads and near (less) 8km/L driving in Chch so if the Forester Turbo is not that different is anybody in Invercargill who can go and see this Forester? I contacted this guy and he doesn\'t know when was the cambelt been done but says the car is in good conditions, and my brother is not looking for a tuned car and this one looks quite standard (no modifications). Maybe I can fo also monday or tuesday next week so I\'d like also if someone can come with me to see the car. Does anyone know where we can inspect the car also??

Any help and info about this kind of cars I\'ll appreciate it!

Thanks!

my forrie, after removing the aircon belt, has pulled 620km on a tank of gas. i averaged 500-550 around town (mostly motorway driving) but it\'ll use more if you boost like it\'s stolen everywhere. they are actually bloody good on gas, better than the non turbo\'s....

Hey that\'s very good! With my ex GTB I was doing 450 in the open roads. Yours is manual or auto?? And also, this ones how is rear diff? LSD or is just the central one LSD?

Where are you btw? I\'m thinking maybe go there Monday so some extra help to see the car will be good (or even better if somebody there can go and see the car before I go there)

I had a 2000 forester same engine setup/boost/td04 as V5/6 non sti. Was on 18s but would get 550-650ish a tank. Slow compared to a wrx but it felt a bit sluggish though it never threw a code or seemed to have any issues. Far better interior and tailgate on 2000- and not half as common. Phase 2 engine also think mine was lsd rear. Being a stock looking forester its probably never been thrashed especially being auto and will last if serviced and driven nicely for a many happy kms. Auto normally less economical than manual.

Id spend another 1k and get a 2000- manual. High km auto boxes = money if they play up whereas a manual sti box is under 500 coins. But thats just me. ;)

      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
