A speed sensor code will cause havoc on a turbo engine, it causes an early engine cut at a certain AFM voltage. On NA engines(gen 2 on at least, can't remember if Gen 1 do) it will trigger the fans to come on permanently and the idle control will not work very well. Some people don't care about thi...

Awesome! This is great. Thanks guys!

Ooooo wow is it really THAT simple....I sure hope it is! :o My last mech got to a point where he threw his hands in the air said, "Sorry, I dont know where to begin on the speedo" and threw me the keys for me to deal with. Thanks for that Andrew. If you do happen to come across those contact details...

[quote="BRUMBI"]......and my fav a 95 wrx 555 blue. QUOTE] Yeah..??? Are you sure about the 95 REX..? :???: Coz I heard that Cop cars were only allowed to be in service up to 20,000kms.

The driveshaft shop near me will trim some length off a shaft and then re-machine the splines onto the shaft. No loss in strength that way

Yep....he even showed me the weld mark where he cut them approx midway between the inner shaft.

Radiator - you can either get your existing L series radiator upgraded to dual core and EJ inlet/outlets OR get an EJ radiator. The custom L radiator option was costing me about $500 but works great. To fit an EJ radiator you need to get the radiator support panel custom cut and welded as the EJ ra...

Cant wait to see h...

The older EVO's were boring and Subaru was hot, now its the other way round...latest EVO looks hot, especially with the retro styling of the old rally winner of years back and the current STI looks like a pre...

[quote="subalex"]Ok then, does anyone know how the L-series would be rated in NSW? QUOTE] When I spoke to the WA version of RTA re my planned car mods they told me that the Subaru L's are NOT considered to be 4WD's they are categorised as a 'Passenger' vehicle. Same as those Toymotor 'TERCELs'.... M...
