Hey Birds,

Reckon the elec scooter will cope 90kg (haven’t weighed myself after epic sick I had few months ago) while going uphill aka Wellington Rd or FTG Rd?

Yeah apparently the STI engine refresh isn't due till 2020 to go the FA platform. 
The problem with the normal WRX was the sound of the FA engine [emoji14] 
The STI ol' EJ sounds beast still for a 4 banger, my first 4 banger :O 


Unequal length headers will do that.

Pretty much yeah, I'll be doing the usual intake/exhaust/tune eventually but that'll be it for me. I think 200awkw-ish?

Aka I better not come up against a silver R33 skyline at the lights, I'll be farked!! :P

Bolt ons are great for a daily. Wish I could bolt-on the hilux. Get some 6 stud rays wheels.

 

So new WRX and STI are different things? I'm pretty out of touch with new cars...

 

In other news, mate of mine at Tokyo Auto Salon... Some cool stuff there.

Yeah so WRX has the new FA20 (GT86) engine with a turbo on it (sounds like crap, but good econemy)

WRX STI still has EJ257 2.5l boxer same as the last few years (sounds good, proven, heaps of parts)

Then you got all the other usual stuff that makes the STI cooler and 10k more I guess too.

Bigger wheels and tyres, and yeah 6 pot front brembos 2 pot rear brembos bigger rotors too even from last years STI.

And yeah the whole driver controlled center diff stuff will be fun to play with 

Do you guys suggest doing any new car paint protection stuff? inb4 final inspection 
ceramic coat? subaru quoted 1500 for this.. 

Dezz you do anything special paint protection wise to your ute when you got it?

Dunno

It'll manage fine on flat ground with 100kg, as our overweight sales reps can attest to

One way to find out I guess.

Cos I’m being transferred to another store with trains in front of the store, and I’m not keen on driving to nearest train station and park it.

And I’ve got 4 weeks to decide.

What colour STI you going Leigh?

 

Keeping a stock look doing rims too?

blue, it's my first actual coloured car. no plans for any cosmetics or suspension, after 6-12 months will do intake/exhaust/tune to wake it up a bit and for some sound that'll be it :)

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
