Hi Doc! I have to say that I expected little difference on the front and I didn't expect to find a stock ARB on the rear, so that too meant I might not otherwise have deemed these a worwhile mod...

Hi Owain,if your going this route make sure you dont go and buy a de-catted front pipe for a t5 as it wont fit.You will need to convert your original front pipe and cut the cat out as the awd...
Yup they're all the same, even the early doors will fit, any differences to the car's where limited to engines/etc rather than changes to the shell.
I've changed my head gasket. wasn't too hard a job, even cleaned up the turbo and changed the oil return seal at the same time.
Weren't you looking at changing the clutch too? Best thing to do...
You don't say if it's got ECC buddy. If it's a manual system then I'd be looking for broken/kinked control cable. The ECC is electronically controlled and should show a fault code if all is not well....
You would need the chassis code to determine the suspension setup. Its the 8 didgit code in the second from bottom, right hand cell on the identification plate.
And there might be a problem with...
G'Day , i have put koni adjustable on the front of My R [ 96 manual wagon ] and set on softest setting and reckon i have a little better traction although as havn't been on the Great Ocean Road with...
The problem is the awd shock absorbers are different to standard ones, they have a bar for the lower mounting, and I think they're shorter too. See the pics below.

To be honest I never let mine get below 40, I think once I had it to 35 miles left. This is only an estimate so you should never rely on it, it will depend on how you drive etc. If you've let the...
This question has been asked before hasn't it? You can't just take a 16t and exchange it for your 13g as a lot of work will be required. The ecu map, injectors and don't forget your car runs a...

Advice : Do not buy a single piston DV, they have a yendancy to jam open !
I have a Twin Piston Forge Motorsport DV on my 855T5.

Firstly, MWD welcome to the forum matey.
Secondly, Whatever you decide to do it would be pretty interesting to see how you get on.
You'll have to post piccys and keep us up to date.

Rica (or whatever remap) will get you to about 235bhp (if everything is up to scratch).
The problem with the 2.5 is its not as strong as the 2.3 engine, but hey its not bad.
Other than a...
hi, as far a my knowledge go's I'd say dont go mad!! A 19T & remap would destroy your AWD system. Your better off talking to Rica & seeing what limits they suggest. The 4WD system on your car is...
Oh bad luck mate. I've just finished changing my clutch, had to be a complete engine out job (its the easiest way to do it because the angle gear is in the way of everything!)
