Lest We Forget.

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...

Edited by ironpaw

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...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
