  1. this.It's the reason I wanted the MR. That, and if you're not going to do any work to it, it already has the better suspension for track work.
  2. yep.Once you get used to the way the computer controls the clutches, it's not too bad. Really have to watch your Temps on the track though. And the computer doesn't want to change to 6th at 60km, but you can in manual mode. Super sport mode will hold the lowest gear possible, which is decent if you want to leave it in D for a track day.
  3. this is the main site I used.
  4. If you have any other questions that I may be able to help with, feel free to ask. Also, should have bought mine. Only driven to the tracks on Sundays
  5. I used the factory 26 head torque specs, as that's what it's going to have to hold. As for the bottom end, if you're not familiar with engine rebuilds, I'd recommend getting an engine reconditioned to assemble. Things to check are things like bearing crush, end float, ring gap, bore oval it, etc, etc.
  6. If it has never been done, I would do it. They snap without warning, and you don't know the history of the engine. Definitely do the timing belt tensioner and idler bearings at the same time. Water pump is debatable. Some say don't fix what isn't broken. Some say may as well whilst you're there. If it is showing any signs of leaking, change it. If not, it's entirely up to you.
  7. Any updates to the cryo treatment? Was considering this also, but no real world reviews.
  8. negative.I get my post count up in whoretown. When I first joined, I knew nothing of the cars. I searched. Read every thread. Ended up knowing a fair bit about these beautiful cars. The info is prettyuch all here, take the time to read through what has already been posted.
  9. In nsw it is. Due to the moving fan being a hazard to extremities.
  10. yeah, you're new.So, you'd think you'd be a little more aprreciative when someone points you in the right direction. Rather than being an arrogant pos with a hero complex. Welcome.
  11. yes.But, haven't driven wrx on the track. Loved my emo on the track, multiple days with little trouble. Also, consider the sti hatch. Drop down rear seats, and hatch room would make a suitable weekend mover. Sti also has the brembo calipers, but, no seat heaters or proximity entry and start. Emo doesn't has drop down rear seats.
  12. Anything can be tuned out with the right parts. Also, evo x > evo 7-9 for daily duties. A lot more mod cons (see my previous list) and softer on the street. Also, 2nd hand can be picked up for a decent price now, just sold mine for 26500.
  13. Had an emo x mr. Done quite well on the track, not the best fuel economy, but not terrible. Plenty of parts to mod if you want to go that way. Very comfortable day to day. Heated seats, auto lights and wipers, sat nav, cruise control, proximity entry and start. Would definitely recommend. But.... Maybe go for the lower spec to obtain the manual box. Get an aftermarket sat nav. All up to you. Or, if any are for sale already, the final edition, which is pretty much an mr with a manual box.
  14. Elevated roads would be hideous. I think tunneling could be a better alternative?
  15. Spool. Hands down. Love induction noise more than exhaust noise.
  16. if you had hearing, you'd understand. Also, I believe in nsw it's illegal to drive with headphones in.
  17. this would be cool.Need an sau merch store.
  18. Pencils and erasers.
  19. I think you and I see things a little diffently. With me, it's not that a fault occurred, it's how they handle rectifying it. I know mistakes happen, so long as they're fixed as quickly and competently as possible, I'm more likely to be happy.
  20. I've seen better.
  21. so, you've never made a mistake? They happen. Even with machines involved. Hence you get WARRANTY. In most cases, (with only going off the supplied story and nothing else), once repaired and proven to not fault again, the MTA and ACCC would be satisfied, and the customer would be taking their original car.
  22. Have not read article(?) but have heard about this story on the radio. By the sounds of it, they class any car with a malfunction as a lemon? If so, I strongly disagree. I class a lemon as a car that repeatedly faults. Whether it be the same concern, or a new one. Working in a stealer ship, I see some, and some genuine 1 offs. I actually bought a new car 2 weeks ago. Steering lock is louder than normal, but still works flawlessly. I wouldn't call it a lemon. Also, most one issues we see are iphail related. And most start after in iphail update. Very rarley (but still happen) do we get complaints of android phones. Seems apple just do what they want, and expect everyone else to sort it out.
  23. Lasted about 1.30sec in penrith.
