What have you done to your car today?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

cheers, it got a massive pollen dump all over it this avo, so gawd damn it needs a clean.

maintenance already taking place, turbo to i/c hose clamp wasn't done up and it was unloading on boost.

si drive in "I" mode is um... tame, to say the least. lol. might take it for a spin tonight, see if the other driving modes are more responsive. the electronic throttle is weird to say the least... but twinscroll purr..... omnomnom

Picked my car up from Turners auctions today after it was repossessed from me on Wednesday due to previous owner owing money...! Straight home to swap the tail light for the correct V3 - 6 ones (replaced cheap aftermarket ricer lights) then out for a good drive. Great to have it back!

Repo'd for previous owner? Duuuude.... thats rough, you are lucky you got it back!!

[scooby-wrx]

Very lucky mate...! Wasn't the guy I got it off owing $, was previous owner. Luckily I was refunded as soon as I mentioned 'police' the outstanding amount was over 6k which I ended up paying (out of refund). Something dodgy going on there...

[DacerX]

Had my Kelford Springs and Retainers installed into my heads by my builder.

[AdamOst]

Did a quick touchup on bumper so i can get it put on looking less awful untill i can afford to get it painted properly.

And front lip since i have paint left.

[Timmah]

Did you just get some color match cans and spray away?

[AdamOst]

Yep, went to Wairau Paint Centre and gave them my vin colour code, got two cans of colour + primer and gun attachment for $90. Colour match seems close enough.

Pulled the Valentine V1 out of the GTB and getting her ready for sale

Sp; the story goes: modify a left hand fuel rail to put FPR at back; leaks fuel like a sinking ship; very muchly hard basket.

Then decide screw it; modify right hand rail to put FPR at back; so much bending of pipe then it interferes with rear cam sensor: so Make up a blanking plate for that. put car together: start it: she happy. me happy.

Now for a wof.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Certainly is manual... and so much fun!!!

Cool sh*t man. So would aftermarket fuel rails be the best way to go?

Autopaint @159 Central Park is really good, paid $60 for two cans of colour coded paint and a can of clearcoat. [h=3][/h]

[scooby-wrx]

Fitted a new started motor, repaired a broken Cam Angle Sensor Wire, collected a set of rear door panels & ecu kick plate.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

ripped out factory headunit, installed nice pioneer unit and pocket. single din units are naff, doubles are hella spency.

however, it is in english, has an aux in and sounds pretty damn good. tomorrow it'll be getting new tyres and i might stick my hks ssqv on it.

the burble it makes when you gently lift off the gas, rpm sustain, sounds fantastic!!! hill start assist is a wicked feature too. love it!!!

If you're using a V7 sti engine with a v5/6 manifold and want to retain avcs, yeah; or just dont split fuel rail. but i discovered today i need a new radiator... yaaay. typical. on that note; anyone got a cheap BH5/BE5 radiator that doesnt leak out the middle? south island preferably lol.

one shot fixed it for now.

Added some more play things

[Doris]

fixed some leaks around the windscreen and welded a few seams on the A-pillars and front footwell sills..

bloody hard work on a thin little kei car, had to link lots of spot welds to get a bead without burning holes in the thin panels.

also crappy 10 year old Ryobi MIG doesn't help

the fact its 10 years old and still works proves it isnt ****.

[Marky]

Sold the spare one, woohoo

The other one I had to take to a mechanic for it's service (so the log book is right) - $400 later?!. Normal service, changing an air con belt and a set of brake pads

I thought these late model cars were meant to be maintenance friendly

[scooby-wrx]

Fitted an ECU kick plate

Managed to find a set of rear interior panels. Ones that came on the car were scratched (looks like a dog was in the back).

Found the reason for the knocks and clunks while cornering - a yellow lighter!

Removed the terrible STI badge that was on the rear when I got the car.
