so i want closed deck right?

gotcha what difference does this make and how can you tell (visually) whether a certain engine is open/closed deck short of taking off the head?

pardon my ignorance/stupidity :oops: , but what is open/closed deck? does that refer to the bottom of the block being directly open to the crank :? ??? (no idea on that) over here price is pretty much an indication of quality (as it is everywhere i spose) so as i said for AUD$2600 with only 50,000km...

i got all of the listings of three different webpages (cept the STi frontcut, $4k with box) so i dunno what year... it'd have to be pretty ruff for $2600 and only 50-thou on the clock.

yeh i sorta thought that. but if i were to get the STi cut i'd be spending $1200 over the legacy and not gettin a box. thats a fair crack of the whip once its in the car. but 1200 squid still isnt goin to cover suspension let alone engine mods. remember... these are lowly australian squid :D p.s fou...

I've been thinking maybe, and its extremely remote, but if i was to get a '97 WRX STi front cut (very eccy) it could almost be worth it if all the suspension and brake components were modifiably compatible. you would end up with STi engine, turbo, cooler, computer, springs, struts, brakes, steering ...

yeh i've always wondered bout that because i pulled a picture off the net with an RS but an STi logo in the top corner of the pic?
hmmm

I retract my previous posts. i think this just bout sums it up... I can see the merits of an auto but my personal choice would be a manual. (sorry bout the multiple posts. got a little bit worked up & kept thinkin of new stuff :D ) and yes there are certain things which you learn in an auto whic...

I don't know if he has the highest powered one, but it's the highest powered one I've seen with my own eyes (and the buttdyno agreed).

hahah buttdyno. can i borrow that? (the term not the butt )

autos are for traffic and old people. drag racing should be manual so maybe a little thing such as driver skill would come into the equation.

I also feel that too many of you base your opinion about automatics from what others tell you and from some piece of crap car you drove when you where in high school. I base my opinions on 2004 pseudo-manual autos ('04 accord euro & '04 volvo turbo awd) and i still beg to get taken manual drivi...

wooo hooo. drag racing. you know those cars that go round corners.... the really fast ones that dont just go in a sraight line and the driver needs control over the engine aswell as steering... what are they called? ahhh yes, racing cars. all manuals (cept for select, read rare/bizarre, race teams)....

either that or a highly modded XR6 Turbo. (Aussie car. Ford, but hey... check this link http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_reports/images/fpv1.JPG ) think 240kW atf, bog standard. 300kW+ atw (AT THE WHEELS goddamn it!) modded versions have already started appearing here and there. 4-litre str...

R32 GT-R. gunmetal grey. no worries. Saw one bout an hour ago. came out of macca's and hung it out for about 100 metres up the road. i shit you not. even dropped my 40c cone. finest peice of driving i have seen on public roads :D stupid but fine. wanted one for ages. spose the bloke was just givin m...

As for the SMGII...its really a manual...right? sort of...it has a robotized clutch, doesn't it? Now those things really shift faster...I would really like to drive one of these... yeh essentially manual. u can put em in drive though if your sitting in traffic. the other good thing bout SMGII is la...

dont ya love it when no-one writes back hahah sorry man i got no idea bout any replacement hose kits, just felt like posting. How many squid did ur new beast set you back?

hahah i know ur pain. i too am a self confessed perfectionist. My learner-mobile, ('89 corolla 5spd w/19" chromes :wink: hahah i'm joking, i swear. its bog standard) soon to be replaced by the mighty GX, and shits starting to break :evil: i hate it. so they're un-superglueable these levers i gu...

hahah oh orright. nah its way later than that could be about 87-88. how do you post pictures on here?

ej257?

oh yeh and that rwd leone is a four dour station wagon not a coupe. whats an 84 coupe look like? are they sorta like a 323 panel van? (2 door old skool wagon, bout 84-85 i think)

hahah yeh i think maybe alcyone. say wedge and subaru in one sentence and you can only be talking a bout 1 car. i thought thats what ya might mean. didnt get much of a warm reception here though, front wheel drive autos as i recall... only here for bout a year or so. have u had a look in misc... sho...

hahah hell yeah :twisted: i spose i did say dream :D sounds like we all need a lotto win eh? well now i know im definitely in the right crowd. dream eh...? if i snaked any of ur ideas, it doesnt matter... I live in Australia :wink: Stock GX wagon with 04 wrx STi ej transplant, apexi/HKS fmic (painte...

Hey guys, thought i'd post a question for Everybody... What would be your dream liberty? Engine, suspension, year model, body, wheels, transmission. anythin... this is just my way of picking up ideas etc also i reckon the subie crew are some of the best modders about (i.e no chromes, outrageous fron...

i'm on my learners licence ( i think the seppos, :wink: jokin guys, call it a permit or sumthin) both my parents cars (2004 honda accord euro and 2004 Volvo XC70) are autos with psuedo-manual modes. i dunno whether its as fun as a conventional manual, but it sure is a hell of a compromise. soon as u...

hahah yeh theres a few blokes out here runnin rear wheel drive wrx's. the only other option i can think of is getting rid of the whole transaxle setup and dropping in a rear wheel drive box. disconnect everything in the front end (driveshafts CV's, uni's i got no idea whats in there :roll: ) and sum...
