Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...

What's on the front of their building?

Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled? If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?

Trying to find a rich collector I see. I love their comment "it's cheap if you compare it to the price of Carol Shelby's personal cars at $23mill"

Yep, I agree. I can't stand modern cars and their dashes that are all screens and you can't dim the bastards dark enough! I'm constantly being blinded in a modern car!

What magic did you work to end up under half the amount you were quoted?

I only just let our 2007 (post face lift) GTB Wagon go. With 2.5 turbo, and 6 speed in it too. The Subarus, especially in GT guise are super nice cars. Great on the highway, and no matter what tyres, or what surface you're on, just throw them at a corner, and they go. Unfortunately ours had a minor accident, I started repairing it, but priorities changed due to an opportunity that came up. Sadly, sold it to someone who just wants it for the drive line to swap into their WRX to replace the 5 speed in it with a 6 speed. Definitely share more of the B4!

A few interesting adventures it seems...

It'll only be as clunky as you are with the clutch pedal...

I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!

What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter

I'm going to assume they flipped it, as the timing setup in the AEM is catastrophically wrong. Once it is fixed, they'll likely need to swap it back to normal.

Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre! Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

Is it a noise that if you turn the wheel, and hold it turned to the right, the screech continues? Or does it only occur while you're moving the steering wheel? Does it occur when stationary turning the steering wheel from centre to the right?

Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later. Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines? Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it! You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!) How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!

When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

Did you hit up the search function? R33 and greddy and cable returns this thread with some options. https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358214-rb25-throttle-body/
