(emailed to me this morning)

“Don't leave a rare WRP10 WRX (only 200 imported into Aus) on display without locking wheel nuts. Actually, probably should have kept it inside and moved a couple of i30s outside for the time you had it.”

For the locals who know how close this is to the police station... and their workshop / hangout.... it is kind of embarrassing.

I concur.

However I am torn between the hilarity and awe at the utter boldness, and sick feeling I get when people find it in themselves to do stuff like this.

Insurance or not - I have been on the recieving end such dog acts. It is an awful thing.

Bold, very bold.

However, it's still quite the dog act.

we had the same thing hapen when i was working at another subaru dealer, i dont know if anyone remembers the liberty blitzen, anyway they were a limeted run and they were all bright red, with big expensive wheels.

the salesman who went to move it one morning didnt know what was wrong when he put it in gear but the car wouldnt move... he got out of the car and quickly discovered the problem...

well if anyone finds a set of WRP10 wheels going cheap, be sure to check the data dots. they will be sprayed on the inside of each wheel. :D

Credit where credit is deserved.

Exactly!

Those WRP10 wheels arent the best rims subaru have released though, why would you bother? Try and find one of the late model STi's with the enkei style/multispoke ones that look like blitz technospeeds

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
