welcome to ozlib mate..

Thanks for the warm welome.

Actually picked up the car this morning from the dealer, so it's now home.

It's my first Subaru and definately first turbo. I am so new to this, that when I got home and turned the engine off, it was still running. I pulled the key out and thinking, oh no, WTF..eventually after 20 seconds or so, it turned off. I gather this is normal for a turbo, but is it safe to lock the car and walk off, during this phase? Sorry for the newbie question, but could't find anything in the owners manual.

Nik,

Yeah, the price I paid for the B4 was good IMO, looking at a few other examples that were around. Still had to screw the dealer down a further $3K, before I was happy to take the car.. It's only done 69,000kays.

I'll post up a few pics of my VC in this thread later today.

Cheers,
Harry

Thanks mate. The dealer mentioned the turbo timer, when he had to wait to restart the car, but neglected to mention the cooling down period where the engine still runs.
I'm used to the good old V8's that you can turn off and on in seconds..good for quick get aways..

Cheers,
Harry

Hi,

If you get a really annoying cop they can do you for leaving a vehicle running and unattended, but it's pretty rare. If you lock the car, a would be thief is required to break in, find the TT and keep pressing the time up while they make their getaway.

As mentioned, turbo timers are more for your oldschool turbo cars, newer turbo cars don't really need them, unless you like to redline down your driveway.

Cheers,
Nik

Yeah, my VC is definately my true pride and joy, but the B4 is not a bad daily driver for me..

Harry

Fark me that VC is HOT!!!


Sorry all, but I am an original tried and true Holden fan.

Although I have to say, the wheels don't do it for me..
You should whack on a set of 16" pro-dragways;)

I don't think dragways would suit the VC, plus I have 330mm brake rotors, so wheels need to be minimum 17", but the ones on the car are 19's. They've been on the car for 3 years now, and it's part of my cars character now.

Thanks for the comment though.

Cheers,
Harry
