I have heard it is expensive... And I can not get my brain around how it's supposed to work. Seems a bit like snake oil to me.

 

Guess it insulates it somehow. Definitely works. Couldnt justify expense tho think it was 300ish couple years ago when I looked at it.

Some of you may remember how grotto my seats were from my last post back on page 746... 

 

Well, they're back and far out they look good now! 

Grant at Final touch spent quite a few hours getting this all done and he's done an absolutely amazing job. Could not recommend more.

 

He mentioned the doorcards, believe it or not, were by far the worst due to getting the most contact with hands etc. However I've forgotten to take photos of those so will tonight and upload some :)

Oh bugger! Not confident in just replacing the rad yourself though? Bet it is a relief that it didn't cook the motor. That'd have scared the crap outta me.

 I know right?! I'm absolutely amazed at how well they came out.

What was the clean worth? I'm tossing up between sending my seats away and buying a wet vac

 

For the level of work done, mid $500+

 

Reason why I had my seats done was because I wanted to keep original seats.

 

Just a note, he did spend a heck of a lot of time on them, because admittedly, they were filthy. Also did door cards and floor mats. So no small task.

Any reason why you went with Bosch instead of NGK?

Nope, Asked for the correct set of plugs for my car, they types in my engine details and computer said this, was expecting around $100 for 4, after trade discount think it was about 80

Am just trying to rule out my ignition system as the cause for my loss of power, so going new is the main thing, NGK probably has some extra S***, as its more expensive

Used to be a big price difference between the two.

 

Ahh yeah haha

 

I used bosch in my 1.5 impreza. Wasn't too bad but i have always used NGK in my WRX. How do you find the Bosch plugs in your car?

Ahh yeah makes sense then. 

 

Not a bad store! If you go in there often ask them to bump up your trade card and you will get a better discount. 

 

New stuff is always awesome aye

 

Are you able to do a trade price in Auckland somehow? :) Wanting to replace my spark plugs too...

Just buy em off partsouq or ebay. Just ask for trade at Autostop theyre cheaper than the Supercheap/Partmaster/Repco trade card bullshit deals. Getting 30% off something means nothing when the pricing structures are ramped up the way they are. Id rather pay $60 less 10% than $100 less 30%.

+1 on this point also. Regardless if i work at Supercheap or not. Although we can be cheaper than repco at times. You definitely can't beat Autostop, ASL and places like those. Our prices are marked up quite high.

Agree with that, always shop around anyway. What plugs would you recommend for EJ255?

NGK: SILFR6B8 is in service manual.

 

BTW, went to Autostop for the brake rotors as you'd suggested - apparently they don't stock DBA anymore, too expensive and no one buys them :D

NGK Recommends using the ILFR6B. Platinum Plug so will be a bit pricey. 

 

For rotors go to BNT man! Their prices are awesome when it comes to brakes

      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
