Admin - not sure where I can post this, so if it's the wrong place feel free to delete/move.

 

Hi everyone

 

I came across this listing on Trade Me last night - love the wagon but is it really worth what they're asking??

 

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/auction-1257514051.htm

 

Just over a year ago I picked up a similar wagon (2.0L GT B-Spec 6spd 110km but without the STI goodies) for about $10k less than this.

Wow thats expensive.

If you're not in Christchurch I am happy to take a test drive for you:D

 

Haha maybe if I had won the $18m Powerball last Saturday... pretty happy with mine - stock standard so the aftermarket parts on the two listings above would be nice to haves but my bank balance laughs at the thought of it.

That car might be worth $15k to the right buyer.  It also isn't tuned by STI.  It's ticked up by the first customer/dealership with STI parts.

 

This is a great deal, prova parts in my experience are top notch:

Seems like there are a fair few wagons down in the Canterbury region! I ended up getting mine delivered to Auckland from Timaru.

If it isn't, someone has gone to a lot of effort to make it look like one...mufflers, paint color, wheels and seats all tbSTI specific aren't they?. Swapping the grill for corozon one would be a curious choice given the tbSTI already come with a mesh grille right? Then again, some people (*cough* @sobanoodle *cough*) are very particular about their grilles :)

Yeah I am looking at that too...

 

If only we knew the chassis number. Would've been sooo much easier to find out what it actually is.

 

Then again, this has been a fun way to procrastinate before I finish work for the week:) I often discuss with friends how the internet has spoiled pointless arguments because you can just look things up, haha.

 

 

Also, It's 6MT, whereas aren't GTBs 5MT?

Is a tbSTI actually any different from a GTB with all the boxes ticked then? Is the ECU different?

 

Slightly, probably no difference in performance though, just a full interior/exterior package really. Aussie tbSTI's had a different tune but not sure on Jap ones.

 

There are a few items you wouldn't have been able to spec on a standard car like the full black interior, brembo's, dark grey plastic trim but pretty sure the rest were optional extra's for GTB's. Sure @sobanoodle has an ebrochure somewhere with the specifics

      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
