Dumb Question Thread!

Or for the lulz make one red and one blue and hook them up to an alternating flash circuit.

they are handy lights imo little bit more than standard lights on and a little less than full beam

I find it allows one to re-think their life decisions and re-consider listening to the advice given that began with "for the lulz" from the internet.

My front sway bar drop links seem to be a little loose and wobbly, Im assuming they are supposed to be nice and tight. Is there any where cheap to get replacement ones (I have looked at Subaru Speed but they don't have any at the moment and Trademe doesn't either). Would it be advisable to get a set from pickapart ($30 pair) and then save up for a good pair? and where is the best place/brand to get. Its all standard at the moment, but with plans in the future to lower it.

Also can I use Impreza ones on a legacy?

In the mornings yes, but I'm not sure if Dave is working. Give him a call right now if you can.

hi im thinking about doing a transmission swap in my bg9 grandwagon and was wondering how much pissing round id have to do when wanting to put a tiptronic gear box in place of my automatic.

Can I put GDA/GDB lowering springs in a BH legacy with Bilsteins?

not fully sure if BH/BE have different setup to everything else but I feel that is the general consensus someone else will be able to confirm properly.

fronts will fit though

rears will be different. 95% sure.

V7 struts

BH/BE struts

Very different indeed.

You can get those Jamex kits pretty cheap off trademe.

Had a friend with some in his BE; handled well and sat nice too.

Thanks for the pic, that explains it clearly. Will keep an eye out for some jamex kits. But might be a wee while off now, as dog needs to go the the vet!!!

Have you checked Subaruspeed? They have a few options in stock, complete sets of Bilsteins + lowering springs. Is your 250T equipped with Bilstein struts?

I have Cobra springs in my WRX. Locally made, they've been surprisingly nice and not too stiff. Even for our crap roads.

Yaeh I keep an eye out for anything going cheap. Yes I do have Bilsteins, looking to lower the car a little but not ruin the ride as is the family wagon.

V3/4 manifold - raw fuel smell

Would this be my problem? Is that the return line?

The top one is fuel feed from filter

Top is fuel in, middle is fuel return. The bottom hose goes to the purge/vapour solenoid. So could be the issue?

+1 for Cobra springs. Ive had several lowering sets of these on previous cars. Great service from the CHCH company and absolutely no sagging from the springs after a bit of time at all and great ride.

I have what looks like a hairline crack in the exhaust housing of this here VF30

What does this mean for the turbo?

It means its definitely a vf30. Prob very little to no diff tbh.

it means your turbo isnt on your car .

in reality it makes no known difference to anything .

Thanks guys!

If I were to say remove the A/C from my vehicle, can I rip out literally everything attached to the air con or for some strange reason is this not advisable?

looking at going twisted turbo does anyone have pics of their twisted upipe? where on the upipe is best place to put a wastegate flange considering having the upipe twisted keeping in mind it will be plumbed back in.

and where would i get a standard vf/td exhaust flange ?

Ive built 3 and bought 1 twisted setups. Hands down the easiest way is buying 2x inlet flanges from kinugawa and building an adaptor roughly 100mm high including flanges.

I seriously wouldn't if its not getting a decent turbo with ecu as people overseas are making bigger numbers than most sub in nz in stock location. Better just getting an uppipe with no flexi.

I may have some pics in garage thread but its really easy to tack it up in place doing it the adaptor way.
