  1. As far as I am aware, the rear subframe was made by Macbilt. From memory, the front subframe is/was a modified standard one (pick-up points changed) - I have some photos somewhere from about 8-9 years ago I can dig out if you like?
  2. Yeah he certainly does (I have basically his full range on my car). His Evo bits are very popular all over the world with plenty of time attack teams, and has built up a pretty solid reputation for it.
  3. Many years ago (when his memory was probably better!) Al told me that was made by Rob at Race Fab https://www.facebook.com/RaceFab-402451539413/ https://www.racefab.co.nz/
  4. Ha, you did it... good choice! But yeah, I wouldn't listen to me!!!!!!!!
  5. @Inked, the whole thing was custom made to suit my car. The above pictured one is V2 which I made when I changed inlet manifolds. I also had a different design tank to suit my old early inlet manifold, which was sold to another clubsub member from Wellington. I can't take credit for the design, it was originally thought up by Al from Macbilt and used with success on one of the circuit cars he used to run. Since you are Wellington based, it would be worth going to see him about it as I am sure they could fab up something to suit.
  6. http://manual.motorsport.org.nz/index.php/knowledgebase/36-2-01a-schedule-a-1/#a1-5 Section 5.1 (5) has all the details for catch cans to comply to MSNZ Schedule A. If you are on sticky tyres and concerned about a lot of oil filling your catch can when at track days, easiest solution is to block off the outside head breather (put a bolt in the hose or something). The engine can still breathe perfectly fine out it's other 2 ports. On Manfeild, Hampton, and Pukekohe block the LH port. at Taupo block the RH port. This will stop the oil that gets held up in the outside head from being blown into the can - it's still stuck in the head though, so still has to make it's way back to the sump, but at least it's still in the engine! Worked for me until I decided to make a better solution (that Pedro now owns).
  7. It certainly does. Have seen it range from 70-83%.
  8. Correct. Was Scott's car, now my car. Gone to the dark/light side (whichever way you want to look at it lol). Bit of a learning curve, but a good challenge - currently in the process of a big tidy up. My Subaru is back in the Manawatu now, and the new owner will be competing at various Manfeild Events
  9. Yes, you could change your hubs to the Version 9-10 STI 5x114.3 ones, but be aware it is not a cheap exercise unless you can find second hand parts for a good price. The 5x114.3 front knuckle assembly has a thicker clevis and the hole spacing for the lower shock mounts is different. You either have to use V9-10 front shocks, or have the knuckle machined thinner, and one of the shock mount holes re-drilled to use your existing shocks. Once that's done, just bolt everything on. You have a couple of options for the rear.... I am not too familiar with the Foresters, but is yours an STI? and if so, does it have the R180 rear diff etc? If you do have an R180 diff, then you should be able to just get a set of V9-10 rear hubs and swap them over with your existing ones. Or, the other option is to use the 5x100 R180 rear hubs, and re-drill them to 5x114.3, and re-fit the studs. They have enough meat in them to be re-drilled, I did this on my old race car and it was fine, BUT, I am guessing your car will have ABS and re-drilling may interfere with the large bolt-on tone rings that I have seen on some of the later rear hubs (my car was a GC8 RA so no ABS etc). If your car doesn't have an R180 rear end, then you will need to change the rear end to R180 (axles and diff) to make the 5x114 hubs fit your car - just comes down to how much you want to spend, so if that;s out of your budget, the 5x100 to 5x114 adapters would be the far easier/cheaper option (even with a cert).
  10. Mitsi evo. Will be there on Saturday too, am helping out a couple of our customers with their cars and getting them sorted for superlap on Sunday. I'll keep an eye out for you :-)
  11. I'm doing Superlap as well... but not in a Subaru.
  12. I'll show him tomorrow and see what he thinks....
  13. Matt, just got your email. We shouldn't have a problem, Dave will check to see if he has a definition file for it, and if not, we can get one sent to us from the software supplier - hence the reason I wanted to confirm before you came down as it sometimes take a day or so for them to get back to us. No point coming down and then finding out we didn't have the definition and couldn't get it until the next day! I'll be in touch anyway
  14. Let me go through some old emails as I am pretty sure I have his contact from a few years ago.... I'll be in touch if I have any luck.
