Lest We Forget.

:thumbsup:

After seeing how many people I know made it to dawn services today; I feel a bit hopeless.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning; we will remember them.

So after ordering a white Aero bar with foggies back in July 2011, and paid for it...I get an email from Streeter who said its now ready for pickup...

Not his fault though...apparently it was sitting around in Melbourne for months...

hmmm time to have a M35 bits sale...

All the subie owners are jelly of M35's. Every time a Forrester, or a liberty wagon gets behind me, I see them lean over the wheel and squint to see whats written on the back of the car.

yeh lol you shoudlve seen them when scott put his car on the dyno.

funny thing is, they were all pulling themselves when they saw their cars hitting 170kw at all four.

then scott put his car on i think they all had wet spots in their pants or minor heart attacks.

the libertys are a nice car - but the amount of money that has to be thrown at it for minor power is f**king stupid

LOL @ the Subie owners...but you can't compare stock cars vs Scott's monster...

I was thinking of a Rex, not a Liberty or forester. If I needed a wagon I'd stick with the Stagea for sure.

I think maybe I'm just pining for something thats fast(er) off the line. Im sure the Stags will rape the WRX at the top end and all...and it is more practical...

I dunno, I spent the weekend in a mate's WRX...with only 200 awkw that thing felt alot faster then my 270awkw+ Stag...plus I like the go kart feel...hmm and the manual (albeit weak GB) thing...

If anything mine is the stock car Jethro, some of them had put a fair bit of coin in for those figures (30k+ with Cosworth engines) but you're right, they are lighter and have a manual option.

Just because a car feels faster doesn't mean it is though, my mates old WRX only has 130kw and feels ballistic, even with a slipping clutch. No way its actually faster though.

lol im pretty sure the genuine bugeye STI WRX that did a run has a semi forged bottom end and all this extra crap and still only pulled 130 at the wheels.

hands down out of a WRC class I would be going an evo.

bang for buck! if you like the go kart feel.

lol mine feels like a trolley than a go kart. Scott knows what I mean :P

I'm pretty sure if they spent 30k+ on their car it'd be a "10 second car"? I mean, there are cars on Rexnet who doing 280-300awkw on 98/street trim and are getting 10/11 sec qtr mile...

Anyway this is not to say they're "better" or "worse"...every car has different characteristics and pro's/con's...

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
