I also leave them on, i live out the bush, no street lights, so more lights the better.

except that the fog lights don't do anything to add long distance illumination... the fog lights light up low and wide... you get maybe 10-15 metres out of them at best!

you're better off fitting better light bulbs in your headlights... the price to pay though, is having to go through replacements constantly

Ben · 08-04-2012, 08:20 PM

That's why I installed brighter bulbs/white ones in the fog lights...have hids and upgraded high beams that run along side the hids

that **** hurts when you look at them!!!

smurfy · 08-04-2012, 09:04 PM

Thats soooo stupid and the amount of people that drive around with foggies on is crazyy yett because you a p plater is a modded car you get done.. properly pulled you over to try and get more **** on you too...

Exactly what pisses me off. And yep, I have a slightly lowered car with nice wheels and a big green P plate so I am a hoon.... Oh and I have AGT stickers on my car to, so I am a car enthusiast which makes me a hoon too.
The cop actually made a comment saying "ahh I see you are part of one of those car clubs" and laughed.
Was checking the tyre Packard to see if the rims were illegal, poked his head under the car to see if it was to low, checked if it had an exhaust.
He also leant on my car which I really didn't like and found un professional.
Basically the typical highway patrol wanker

morganluke · 08-04-2012, 10:26 PM

Undercover cop car (XR6) overtook me on the freeway a week or so ago. Both his headlights and foglights were on. It was midday and about 27 degrees without a cloud in the sky. Was not impressed.

Sucks about the fine man. Though we live and learn...

BG1.8sp · 08-04-2012, 10:57 PM

Lol I'm sure that same cop fines other people for having foggies on too

And yeah dude seemed like a miserable jerk anyway.... So jokes on him. XD
I don't mind paying the fine, I was 'in the wrong' but the attitude was disgusting an the fact that he put way more people in danger flying through the centre of Penrith to fine me for foggies.
Guess that's why the 3 family friends that are cops all hate the highway patrol officers (not sayin they r all bad, just a lot)

Clean_Cookie · 09-04-2012, 06:42 AM

Sounds like the attitude of the cop who did me for my P plate falling down WHILE he was following me. Sigh

BG1.8sp · 22-04-2012, 06:28 PM

148000k's
So I did my oil change this morning.

Also have a carbing alloy front strut brace on its way

And Melted my rear brake pads :O
So will be replacing those next weekend

Oh and also the front left speaker died last week, and front right went lastnight. Lol

Work owes me a decent wack of money.. So once that comes through its time to order myself some new speakers all round, and also going to get my window tiniting done.

Then pay the rest off for my trip to the states... An depending on how much is left a rear swaybar

BG1.8sp · 23-04-2012, 02:01 PM

will take pics of the damage to the pads once i remove and replace them.

Currently running Remsa pads on the front and QFM HPX pads on the rear.
The Qfm's are the melted ones

morganluke · 02-05-2012, 12:43 PM

Do you have someone to do the tints? Let me know if you don't because I have a good contact. Shaz from Show Us Your Tints on the Northern Beaches has done 3 of my cars over the last 2 years.

BG1.8sp · 02-05-2012, 02:44 PM

Dont have anyone particular in mind. Was going to go with the solar tint 'black pearl' 20% the solar tint shop up the road from my place gives us fairly decent rates. Definitely a good film too.
But open to anyone really. Cheap isn't really that big of a deal, I would prefer a quality tint over a cheap price.lol

Will find out a price from who u recommended and the films that they use.

morganluke · 03-05-2012, 09:41 AM

Shaz imports his tints from the US and only uses the highest quality. It costs about $280 for a wagon/hatch from memory and possibly another $50 if you need old stuff removed.

Worth shooting him a message/giving him a buzz and tell him Morgan referred you. He'll look after you

0401 202 509

Shaz at work

New

BG1.8sp · 03-05-2012, 10:17 AM

Sweet, will give him a buzz over the weekend.

Cheers for that!

Clean_Cookie · 03-05-2012, 10:20 AM

Is that 20% Luke?

morganluke · 04-05-2012, 08:38 AM

No probs! Dunno if you have access to his vendor page but he's got more info there -

http://www.subyclub.com/index.php/to...us-your-tints/

My old Outback is about half way down the page too

Clean Cookie - yes it's 20%. Perfect compromise I reckon - plenty of privacy and blocks out the sun during the day while still being able to see out at night!

BG1.8sp · 09-05-2012, 04:11 PM

I think I need an update. Just over 150 000K's

Really same as before, still waiting on money to get the tint done.
Should get my Strut Brace and Aero Wipers Friday, so will put them on over the weekend. And did a tyre rotation yesterday, wearing square

Also, Received all the fluids I need from Harold at Performance lub.

Got Redline MT90 (75W-90) for the Box - Currently Running Amsoil (done 40000k's)
Royal Purple (15W-40) - I have used Amsoil, Motul or Royal Purple only

Also bought Subaru Upper Engine Treatment
Mazda Oil filter (Only use Genuine Mazda filters)

and pics of brake dust for other peoples reference, this is from 1 week worth of driving, which for me is approx. 700K's

^^^^ Rears - QFM HPX pads

^^^^ Fronts - Remsa Pads

TheMAN · 09-05-2012, 04:17 PM

you need only 3 quarts of gear oil in the gearbox mate

This is true, just changed to RP SynchroMax myself.

Also, damn that is some serious dust, but no worse than the A1RMs currently are. I get bugger all dust on my rear HPXs for some reason.

Ben · 09-05-2012, 04:34 PM

but but but, i have QFM HPX pads all round and their dustless??

BG1.8sp · 09-05-2012, 04:41 PM

Yes I know I only need 3Qt.
One isn't mine, brother left a bottle in there

And dustless pads still make dust. just not as much.
And they are making a bit more since I have melted them that amount that is on there is from a week, but that's the amount that they use to make from 2.
Also that silver really shows actually how much dust pads make
