So many good driving roads in that area, lotta TV ads used to be shot over the hill on the Montville ridge road.
Up there looks like the English countryside, drop down the range or down a gully and its rainforest.

my liberty is sitting monstertruck spec compared to that edit... and the original image wasn't very eye-pleasing. :assassin:

I love standing corrected! Lotsa practice. Luckily I'm lying down ATM.
For the record I never ever edit my pics... much :P

That is some sensational PS!
Just classic S shape in the track.

Collecting bits n bobs... this site isn't good for the wallet...
purchased:
- 3 port bcs
- DW65c
- Kobe silicone inlet

Deciding on a vf52 or 18g, 20g. need to do more research on what would be a good fit for me.
Car has been doing some funny things to me today. under load in 1st and sometimes second a big pop will happen around 4-5k... assuming around the dump. doesn't happen often tho, enough to give me a scare and take my foot off.

Iirc 18 & 20g are borderline on stock injectors but please correct me... :)
Check your vac/boost hoses.
This is about preFL but I posted anyway:

cheers Benny, i'll have a poke around the engine bay tomorrow after work.
It's not very consistent tho, just happens every now and then.. like a loud Thud and kick of back pressure.

yeah, what are the stock injectors on a manual good for? hate to put numbers out there but, been for a ride in a few 220-230kw wrx's and i'd love to get to that stage.
I'd rather sacrifice some low end for some top end... comparing to my stock turbo anyway.. i'd like it to keep pulling :haha: for a bit more.

Hey mate looks farkin fantastic!

Refer to KIDO about the pop/backfire - apparently he's in Brisbane soon? You might need to pay him but that'll have you covered for when you swap injectors and turbo.

Turbo:

^ That will give you plenty enough without (too much) laaaaag..

Hope you're still luvvin it..

Hey Stavros, I'm loving it!. How's the new wagon going?
Yep I've narrowed it down to that turbo hey... Might not happen till the end of the year.

Front bar is getting cleaned up and painted over the next few weeks by a friend.
Going to speak to AM auto about doing the FMIC also.

But first thing I need to get done is the 125k service... Any websites I can pick up a timing belt kit/water pump for it?
I haven't rang the stealership for a quote yet.

Hey cool! Maybe get a mate with tactrix to reset ECU or pull the battery neg so it relearns on the clean MAF ;)
Maybe do the upper engine cleaner/fuel additive if the car was a little neglected as regards the basics...

* SFA and UEC were done at twice the service interval (for the last couple of years at least..)
