Sure did. I work at Manheim car auctions.... Basically my job is to road test the vehicles that come on site and do mechanical condition reports. I haven't really worked with Subarus before, but i have a big passion for imported cars (this makes #3 in my garage :/). I got in the car, started it up, got out on the road and nearly shat myself.Chris_Rogers wrote:did you get the black book with it?
that book pretty much has what was done to it and how it was set up.
a scan tool will access 99% of it the ABS system is on a separate black plug. the red triangle is the ABS light. from memory the LHF sensor was acting weird.
where did the car end up btw?
I bought it that afternoon. Haha.
Oh right! I appreciate the information. I didn't realise what the light was, but found it odd that the whole ABS module and lines had been bothered to be swapped in (but wasn't working). Also noticed the A/C has no gas, you reckon it will work if i get it gassed?
Big post, but there was a couple of vin plates from a starlet in the glovebox.. Did you need them? lol.

yep its NOT slow. part of the reason it has the brakes to match. 100-200 is about a 3-4 second delay if you stand on it long enough. it lived on a diet of E85 and 98. plenty of new stuff on it. perfourmance in underwood know the car.mr_sp33 wrote:Sure did.

send me a message with the purchase price (I know what I sold it for.)

ABS works - stand on it hard enough and you will feel it come in. the car has been around lakeside a few times and it got used there pulling up from 175 on the main straight.

if you can get the condensor back in the front of it - yes it will . I ran out of space when the fans went in. I have the condensor here if you want it.Also noticed the A/C has no gas, you reckon it will work if i get it gassed?
nah turf them. I had a imported Glanza V at the time and I was going to get creative.. sold it and didn't need to.Big post, but there was a couple of vin plates from a starlet in the glovebox.. Did you need them? lol.
I have two Skylines and have been working on pretty much every version for the last 12 years (inc R35.) so that replacement I know quite well. enjoy the car. if you have questions about it shoot me a message on here. I have a spare alternator and a set of spare turbos for it as well.

Hmm, i've only driven it twice (at work, and then home from work with works tradeplate on the back) because it's currently unregistered, but on the way home i managed to get it to lock up pretty hard, although that ABS light you mentioned is on currently. Perhaps the code needs to be cleared before it operates again.ABS works - stand on it hard enough and you will feel it come in. the car has been around lakeside a few times and it got used there pulling up from 175 on the main straight.
That would be awesome actually. Pretty keen to have cold A/C, haha.if you can get the condensor back in the front of it - yes it will . I ran out of space when the fans went in. I have the condensor here if you want it.

exactly. I already have two toys and that one was the third and wife was getting annoyed with it. as for wholesaling it. I had a victorian buyer but the mod plates on it didn't mean squat there and the thing would have needed engineeering again. in the end it was all too hard and with a wife complaining I had too many cars - that was the final outcome.
