In the words of the black knight "can't we all just get along" ha ha.

hey man no peer pressure here like i said its your call, best plan, save some money, do your coil packs and get it tuned when you have the money, jsut means youll have to live with it a bit longer and baby it.

moving on

I'll be defently at the drag strip!

I changed my G-box oil the other night. Thanks to ryan mind you.

I had bad crunching from 3rd to 4th. Anything after 3,500rpm it crunched. And likewise from 4th to 5th.

That was geniune ( Cant spell for shit ) subaru gbox oil in there with nulon addative. Worked for a bit. Survived a day on the dyno.

But it just grew worse. I brought some Redline Gearbox oil. Type: Lightweight shockproof. Aka, smurfs blood. Normally around $220 delivered for 3.8lts i got mine for $111.50 for 3.8ltrs.

www.performancelub.com Check it out peoples. Great oils and fast Delivery. 3 working days to NT to my door.

Anyway. I put it in, as soon as everything was warmed up. Flogging time!!! Every gear much more direct with no sign of crunching through 1st to 3rd... Now... test time... Gave it hell to top of 3rd and changed.... Guess what. No damn crunch! I'll be happy to prove it too people too! You could hear the crunch with original oil over my sterio... No shit. The oil has a much more direct feel to it and alot smoother! Bad thing is.. Theres alot of downsides. You have to make sure you can get every last drop of your old oil out. I let mine sit for the whole night and most of the day. She was empty! Other wise it mixes and turns to Jelly... No good. And... you cant go from redline back to another brand without flushing your box many times with cheap cheap oil. It mixes with the new oil and makes it bad. And can actually fail and destroy your box. But defently something for you boys to look at. Also... It says on the bottle 500,000k life span... If you drive a damn golf buggy. For most wrxs it's between 10-15ks max.. But thats awd and hard launching. All your boxes are stronger then mine so the effect's will be greater with the oil i'd imagine. And life span alot better. Check the threads here about REDLINE. Some hate it, some love it. Im a lover :P

Harold at that website is awsome. He just rose his price's tho. Only by 5-10$ tho. Im really happy about it.

Anyway. Enough Late night tele marketing. Now remember, if you buy 1, you get 1 absolutly free. And if you use your credit card. I'll throw a smack in the head free for not doing it sooner!

Good luck at the dyno

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
