What have you done to your car today?

[ADIKT]

Changed wheel nuts. Changed guard indicators to clear smoked ones (didn't realise you can do it with out taking wheel and guard liner off). Also placed the roof flap on the roof to have a wee maz. Should hopefully have it installed in a week or two

Actually happened last weekend, but installed a triple gauge pod on my dash retaining the centre dash storage compartment, filled the pod with Prosport boost, oil temp and oil pressure gauges. Just waiting until my oil is due in 500km to install the sandwich plate adapter and oil temp/pressure sensors.

haha actually jealous; I want a duke monster.

I put in my replacement park light on the drivers side; now I can get the guard repaired. waiting til thursday; as I actually get a couple of days off then..

A Duke does sound like a suby in a way...

Could you send me a photo of this? Sounds exactly like what I want to do.

Here ya go... Just took them now, lighting was a bit rough, please excuse the silver screw heads popping out, I need to put black caps on them for extra tidiness.

The pod cost me some $18 from trademe and I just drilled a hole through the lid to run cables, and 2 other holes in the compartment itself then made a reasonable tidy loom by wrapping all the cables in electrical tape together all the way down the where I connected them and that's about it really. Pretty straight forward.

That is bang on what I want to do.

Do all foresters have that middle compartment? I've never seen a WRX with it, only a clock.

Most GC8 WRXs have it lol, but with no clock

[Timmah]

My WRX doesn't even have a low fuel light

[SpeedySub]

Not today but yesterday- I removed the rubber grommet from the bell housing from my auto as it it had become hard and somehow it dislodged and was hitting the starter ring. I can tell you I was s**tting myself when I first heard it, I thought I had done a bearing, then realized it was the wrong noise. Pulled it out and will get another one this weekend.

I was lucky and got the Centre set gauges. I think they were a factory option.

Not "today" but got a set of RX8 OEM rims for the mrs's car (Axela sedan) the other week, looks like it should have been a factory option. 17x6.5 stock, up to 18x8 it looks like a little hot wheels car now. Airtrek is currently in a few bits in the garage getting FMIC and intake pipe monkey-ed on, next step is TD05HR and reflash (Or, knowing my luck more likely something for the garden/lounge)

Started the slut, and drove it for the first time in a while. booked in for a wof, then reg then off to Rick sometime next week ish to get the dccd wiring done as well as a few other bits. I need to diagnose the radiator (i think its split in the top right, drivers side somewhere) not looking forward to spending money, but looking forward to some progress and actually being able to have a real play with it sometime soon...

Redline will sort you out cheap or if scarles are cheaper pretty sure theyre the same rad. Heap better than stock anyway.

I swore at my temperamental head deck some more.

What about that nugawa 25g on tm...

[AdamOst]

I thought mine didnt have a low fuel light it since ive had it on the empty line a few times with no light. I found out it does have one however after coming back from the coromandal, and that its also hidden from my eye line by the gauge pod on the steering wheel thing...Was a bit scary seeing it on and havign no idea how long the light has been on for.. Filled up 53L, anyone know how big the GC8 sti tanks are? v6?

[GC8E2DD]

Highly likely it is 55 litres.

Turbo models have 60l tank owners manual said so

Dont rememver if mines 55 or 50, but definately not 60L

Installed a new fenix rad and fan kit yesterday, no more leaks but cant seem to bleed it properly

Inc reserve? 7-8L on fuel light seems quite a bit.

Just took it for a quick spin on lunch.

From a quick drive I saw a 10.8 at about 4.5k full boost
