Subaru AUSTRALIA. Other subaru dealerships around the world seem to be a lot more reasonable with the markups?


Or when you go to the supermarket to buy milk. Bet you pay a substantial bit more than what the dairy farm gets per liter....

No, because the farmer cannot sell direct or in their own branding 99% of the time.

That is a supply contract.

You can walk into any auto store and order a bosch o2 sensor.

Ok bad example. Scrub milk from the above statement and insert any other item a supermarket sells.

Post up some facts or fuck off. Or better still if you have a problem have the bollocks to come and sort it with me dick head.

Everything I post on here as been through experience of builds I've done and products ive used. I'm trying to help people but complete arseholes like you just make me want to not bother.

You my friend are an utter cunt!
Do a 10 second pass and I will say I am sorry.

Please let me know the details of the failed engines that were done during my time at the garage / work shop. You make mention of this in the following post.

Keep up the good work Daz, it's people just like you we need to import into Australia as citizens.

I'll hold you to that whether you'll be man enough to follow it through will remain to be seen. For reference though I managed a 10.9 in a gc8 with about 430awhp. Incidentally it was my first ever go at the quarter mile in the dry. My first ever go at all was the week before at Scooby shoot out which I managed a 12.10 with an inch of standing water for most of the run. That run netted me the modified class win. So officially I was the 2010 Scooby shootout modified class champion. I'm sure the results are around somewhere I case you think it BS

Here's the videos first one is the 12.1 at Scooby shoot out.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a8vtiwVkH2w

Second is my 10.9 at York dragway.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-WrfaZF0UlQ

As mentioned this was at circa 430awhp in a full weight gc8 with two year old cheap Chinese tyres on. I think I'll manage it with near 600awhp more torque and better tyres.

I'll gladly retract my statement about the garage. I thought you were sledging as you had some links / loyalty to the garage that originally built my engine. So that's where the reference came from. So that must mean that you have a personal issue or maybe you just can't handle the fact I've got a fair bit of knowledge and some good results From the cars I've built.

As for your last statement that tells me exactly what a bigotted fucktard you are. You've made that statement without the first idea about me and are absolutely clueless as to why I'm here and in what professional capacity. I could elaborate but that probably would really upset you if all this is anything to go by.

I'll look forward to your apology when the car is up and running. I somehow think you haven't the substance to be a man of your word though.

When I took the car down when it was in my brothers ownership I managed a 11.5 pass @ 122 mph with a 98 tune and 425 hp ath. What makes it even better the centre diff was fucked as it wouldn't hold power above 450 hp ath hence 425 was just about right before it would slip. Also the over rated carbon r clutch that was in there at the time and 260.000 Km driveline held well.

No doubt with 550+ it will hook a 10 no worries.
