  1. Man date with cars is hard to turn down I'm not gonna lie. I will see if I can tempt Mike and Matt as well, been years since we did the trip down together.
  2. Legend that will do nicely. I'm not married to the Ultimates so happy to have someone who knows what there talking about recommend for me. Gosh I miss Manfeild... I was chatting to my WOF guy today and he reckons the 6-7 odd years hes now been doing my WOFs I have done less than 1500 KM combined on them. I didnt, but I do now and it made me a bit sad. Wifey and I made a deal today I am going to spend a few bucks on the car over the next year so might see me around a bit although Manfeilds a hike now. Maybe if Flatnats is there next year I could trailer queen her down.
  3. Been a while... The Subi needs its first set of pads in about 10 years so it's fair to say I'm rusty and have questions. 1. Are Bendix Ultimates still the easy answer to "Whats a good street pad?" I have also heard they are super low dust right? /s 2. Anyone got a part number for 4 pot front pads of Ultimates or some other recomendation pad? 294 Mil rotor jobby from memory. Keen to not spend the earth but want to stop well when I need too. Looking for the part number so I don't have someone look up my rego or VIN and send me home with the wrong pads.
  4. Shady looking bunch in your pic Jared... Some of us have been here somewhere between a long time and too bloody long
  5. Aaaand talked out of it... That was quick lol
  6. Sounds amazing! I wouldnt mind one of these.
  7. I ran Gull 98 almost exclusively for a number of years and never had any issues. That was back when I brought the car and I have had it almost 10 years now. The chat about fuel lines etc was mainly better safe than sorry warranty backside covering by Subaru (and most car companys) I think.
  8. Lol politics... Until we stop treating Political parties like sports teams we wont get very far. Bottom line is if you want to play you have too pay, neither the Govt (of any denomination) nor oil company's have any interest in lower fuel prices. Much like many home grown NZ company's the gouge is on so they take it with both hands. You dont have to look far in NZ to see local company's who charge a ridiculous mark up in NZ simply because they can while exporting far cheaper. They gouge locally to subsidize internationally because they work to the mentality that they would rather have 1% extra profit than 10% extra customers in a local setting. A little OT there, sorry... I must admit every time I fill up in the U.S. the petrol head in me gets a little tingle. Last Tuesday I took a Chevy Suburban from Quarter to full for about 60 USD... God bless America lol
  9. If the WRX is legal and squared away I will be at the track. If not I will come for lunch, visit family and drop in for the track day.
  10. Just waiting for my schedule to firm up but if im in NZ I will be there. Excited as always for MM!!
  11. I have put in plenty of laps there with the 1/2 litre extra oil and had no issues even on Semi slicks. Does seem to claim the odd Subi but I always wondered about its reputation as a Subi killer tbh. Enjoy your time, it will be a blast im sure.
  12. Its really weird when I think about it because everything else is serviced and changed probably too regularly. Its just something I have overlooked now I think about it. And if I remember right its a prick of a job.
  13. I have changed my diff oil once in about 100,000km
