Welcome mate. You should introduce urself to the club introductions and post a few pics up of your car...

I was parked in the street, ive got 2 yrs of tafe 2 days a week n I aint forking out $4/day lol :huh:

Trying to change ur dash (orange+red+white), will be near impossible as there is only 4 main globes to light it up... The grill you will have to find it overseas on importmonster and the rear pods i got lucky n just stumbled across them by chance. They are rare as rocking horse **** and if u do come across them they arent cheap... Dont even try Subaru they will want both ur arms n legs, a kidney n possible ur left nut lol

I never thought of a cut out to access the spare wheel but at the same time i dont want to chop it up, gotta think of resale as well...

Theres a street before the woolies servo that I park in... Always get parking there...

Nah I actually made a slight cut on the underside of the mat so it creates a fold under the sub... Isnt bolt down to the floor, Ive managed to hook it on the side with metal straping and a few screws so if i have to access the spare the floor just folds and walha easy access...

plates look cool mate.

instead of repainting your wheels, why not just buy those gram lights instead??

Ive actually changed them now to high powered SMD leds reasoning for them being yellow...

They are only 17s which would require new tyres and they are $900 so way out of my budget...

Updates people... Just purchased these today for a cheap $150 brand new off a 58 year old MY06 WRX owner who does track work at Wakefield on a regular basis!

I know these babies will fit as the part no. are identical for my car! Hopefully if its not raining 2mrw after work I can put them in... Hopefully with king springs it wont be too bumpy...

On another note, my mate Mark, some of you meet him at Hooters, recently got new tyres for his ride when they werent totally needed n beening the great mate he is has given me old KU31s so I can chuck em on my old rims so I can get the CS9s recoloured... So hopefully i can get it all done by time next months meet up...

Ok guys im slightly annoyed now...

I managed to change my struts on the weekend but still have the same knocking/rubbing sound going around certain round-a-bouts, corners... I have yet to get wheel alighment done though so it mite fix the problem... Im also starting to consider it could be my shitty tyres, i mite chuck the spares my mate gave me to see if that fixes anything...



I have a question for the ppl in the know how, how often are u suppose to change ur power steering fluid? I havent changed it since i bought the car over 2 yrs ago...

What knocking are you getting mate? Is it coming from the front or the rear of the car?

Does it just do it in a straight line, or when you turn as well?

Cheers,

Sound is coming from the front only when i turn... Initally i thought it was my front struts knocking around but obviously not since i just changed them... Could be anything... Its been happening ever since i changed my CVs 5 months ago... After i had them changed i went back complaining about the noise so he put 2 brand new 1s in for nothing... I cant remember if ive had wheel alighnment since then so that mite fix the problem, well im hoping anyways...
