Ever see that MCM video when they drove the corolla with no oil to see how long it would last......couldn't believe how long it went and that was giving it the beans too! I'm happy for you anyway man, sounds like you might have gotten lucky

You obviously know nothing about the Yaris GR

That's interesting.....not something i have seen before so i can't shed any light on the subject. What type of subaru is it? If you find out can you let us know.....

Prices for parts seem ok, i can't remember how much i paid for mine but they weren't cheap, my labor to change all 4 was only 3 hours @99 p/h!

+1 Turbotech I never had any issues setting it

I'm terrible at making cars look as good as they do in real life in photos

Yeah i was talking about side intrusion bars, pretty sure mine doesn't have any such modifications, i was under the impression it was imported under the 15 year rule, but i thought that meant no compliance had been carried out? You probably know more than me having owned both an early and a late model. I have no idea how much mine weighs, but my point was more that i quite like having a early 'original' model, especially compared to ones that have had side indicators stuck on.

In some ways earlier is better. I like the fact that I have a 'lightweight' first edition with no aussie compliance bullshi*

Hi Robyn Just sent you an e-mail regarding my membership. Paid middle of last month, still waiting to hear anything. Thanks

Total Bastard!

Hey I earned my working climate control system.........by fixing everything that was not working and It's stayed good for 4 and a half years now so there is hope for you too!

Yeah it's a common issue with 32's. I'm lucky I have a 'rare' one where everything works...?

Yeah absolutely, (this is assuming Gtr and Gts-t are the same) but it's just on the right hand side of the passenger footwell (up under the dash a little), After i fixed the thing that diverts the air to different areas (because that also wasn't working when i got the car) i actually ended up disconnecting it again as the climate control deciding where it wants to direct the air by itself as you change the temperature was pissing me off so much. Now i just reach under the dash (can be done while driving, as this one is in a similar position but on drivers side) and manually shift it to windscreen or face, slightly less convenient but way less annoying

Out of curiosity how did you get the other part of the canister off the car? I also had the unscrewing in half problem (although i realised before I completely unscrewed it) which i thought would be pretty dangerous if the canister actually had pressure in it, why wouldn't you make it a left hand thread if it had to be 2 piece, anyway I machined up a giant socket to remove the whole thing as one piece

As a temporary fix so you don't have to drive around with hot air coming out just disconnect the Blend door motor from rod that connects it to the door (passenger side footwell), then you can just operate the door manually to be on hot or cold or anywhere in-between. I did this for awhile and basically ran a summer setting and a winter setting.
