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?

[Count Grantleyish]

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  

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!!

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.

Big brakes, diffs and a gearbox that are less likely to explode, better suspension.

[UNR33L]

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?

Hey guys,

Unsure where to place a wanted ad?  Modified divided twin turbo Y pipe for RB26.

With everyone going to big singles there must be some lying around 

Thanks Lincoln.

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.

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

[Leroy Peterson]

decided to try a quote with Commonwealth Bank Car insurance for shits and giggles...

So wont cover pulsar with carbon panels.

BUT will cover aftermarket convertible pulsar ???
WTF

 

[Count Grantleyish]

Time to go convertible Liam.

[HEKT1K]

Good stuff Leigh, is it quick?
