Supera choice in car

[LAtitudeNZ]

HAHA i get it!

[Enervated]

well.. I haven\'t done anything as such to my car.. but let me tell you whats wrong with it..

Overheated yesterday - Radiator was only a year old, apparently not blocked. No circulation of water so possibly waterpump which was only replaced at 117000km. now currently at 147000km. So thats being sorted on Monday.

Needs new brakes - fronts and rears

Burns oil some how - doesn\'t leak or blow smoke so lost with this one.

Knockng noise coming from RH front when i go over bumps - I think possibly the drive to the front wheels as that had a mm play when i checked last week, could also be sway bar bushes or shock absorbers so I was told.

Fixing one step at a time...

I think this is under the wrong post. And if anyone has any ideas on what my problems are, please let me know.

Replaced my 250T headers with stock wrx ones. They had completely cracked and heat shield was holding it in place.

Got my rear camber plates in

Cut my bumper up, removed the mounting bolt and flattened the tab up, remounted bumper with cable ties, hammered the bulge above the arch up flat.

Way less rubbing now but with the camber now i\'m getting wheel lip hitting the guard on big bumps

Pulled a DCCD box apart to see whats inside

Picked up new exhaust manifold off for hpc on Monday

[Simon C]

Ongoing urgent maintenance to the new car. Stupid Japanese owner didn\'t do any servicing for 80,000km!

So far:

Spark plugs

Engine oil

Transmission oil

Wheel alignment + camber bolts (completely out, running positive camber on front right and negative camber on front left!)

Replace crazy Japanese GPS stereo with something useable

Almost there, just need to flush the brakes and fit better pads next week. Big thanks to spark38 and mattapo for all your help!

Camber bolts <camber plates? Im running bolts not hats.

[Roo]

Camber bolts will cause the wheel to hit the strut, needs bolt on spacers which i\'ll get after I get a few other things

what car do u have now? thats abit overdue

[Marky]

Just done plugs, and found the afm i thought was stuffed... isnt

gave it a super clean, used a cotton bud on the mirror bit (bear in mind i already bought a new one and thought this one was toast anyway), it drives perfectly now, had a random surge coming on boost ive been scratching my head over for days. so i now have a spare afm for when the current one inevitably dies

pretty sure air filter is super blocked / dirty, got a new one coming, would make sense given it saw gravel roadworks daily for a year i suppose. tried to clean it out a bit which has semi helped, induction sucky noise got mucho loudero (yay)

oh and the fcking alarm has now set itself back to default settings, so it self arms after 20 seconds and drives me mental... one thing after another at the moment, nice if bits would stop breaking so i can spend money on things to make it break more

[B4 I was 250T]

It\'s ok Marky, my alarm key broke off my key ring and the arm/disarm button has a big hole in it so it\'s struggling to arm/ disarm stupid previous girl owner using nails to press the button. And I have the same problem, heaps of shit I\'d rather buy and instead having to do essential stuff! This should be my what grinds my gears post lol

[Marky]

fixed the alarm, google you complete me

[subieboy]

Paintewd the diveter and fitted it permanently

Pics to come eventually, if any one wants one I have a template now for BH leggy\'s.

Because the strut tops are so close to the fire,wall the effects are minimal compared,to say a Nissan where the strut top is half way up the engine bay

[Koom]

Painted some bits where the rust got removed. Then pulled the old chunks of rust out of the boot gasket. I think my car should officially be a classic now that I\'m working on rust more than performance!
