  1. Hello mate might sound stupid. I did a really stupid mistake of when re assembling my brake caliper after overhaul.same things really bad pedal when engine running but ok when engine off. bleed system again and again. Only when i stood back and realised i put the rears on back to front. front calipers bleed nipples where on top. and found the rears with the bleed nipple underneath and not on top. rotated the calipers and bleed. all ok just check all calipers have bleed valves on top
  2. Hey all Does anyone know a super friendly mot tester around Taunton,westonsupermare,Bristol way. Been doing some cold calling on some stations near me but not friendly at all.
  3. Hey chaps, Probably been asked a million times and i am sorry if it has. but need a new set of lights for blobeye.been looking at a decent set of second hand ones for £160 but also like the angeleye headlights. Just worried they might be a heap of poo. Has anyone bought these or know of a better brand . Thanks https://www.energizedcustoms.co.uk/shop/subaru-impreza-2003-2005-black-angel-eyes-headlights-pair.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjwk-jGBRCbxoPLld_bp-IBEiQAgJaftZQ3Y1g-eVqSm-9TDe0sn64n0iqvRCCHcvAXCUJPNkUaAhOp8P8HAQ
  4. Ah right. My newage is not running AVCS heads.does it make this conversion easier ?
  5. Hey chaps, my newage wrx ej20 is burning oil fast and has bad compression. I have sourced an 96 sti short block with forged pistons and rods. I would like to use this engine as my base build. Am i right in thinking i can use this block. And use my Newage Wrx heads ? Or is this block to old ? thanks guys Here is ebay listing of what i am looking at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-EJ20-93-96-WRX-STI-Engine-short-block-inc-forged-pistons-rods-/182288102288?hash=item2a7137b390:g:DQQAAOSwLnBX4cCn
  6. Who was that in the new shape blue sti. Pulled out in front of my merc van on st johns lane bristol near Brunel Pub. Nice motor tho sounded great
  7. hey all im after a silicone hose set for radiator. Any for sale ? cheers
  8. Finally got a good day to give a full clean. Managed to get undersealing done aswell which is a bonus :) Anyone else been cleaning today ?
  9. im no expert on the forum and dont no any contacts yet. i am currently looking at a spare engine to rebuild so when my main engine gives up the ghost i can plonk her in. Problam is if you go second hand engine you could be in the same situation few months down the line or be lucky. maybe your best bet is to strip and rebuild mate at least its the peace of mind its been done and healthy.
  10. Cheers chaps for comments. I have given up doing budgets as i always go over all the time haha. Savage bulldog thanks for the info. Im not after massive power and 300-350 is ample for me. Looking forward to doing it should be a good experiance and learning curve. Still havent got an engine yet so looking for a spare close to me. In the mean time get a shopping list up together. Gaskets,Shells,Rings timing belt kit,Water pump,Oil pump etc etc. Will have check on your build thread aswell in the meantime
  11. Hey all hope everyone is well. At the moment im sourcing a spare ej20 engine as a replacment when the times comes to it to replace. As the scooby i have now is on 109k with no service history and was a gamble when i bought it.and she is not 100% The spare engine im getting will be stripped and rebuilt to how i want. I know my way around engines. but still this is my first time doing an ej20 engine and nothing is better than someone having knowledge and skill if you take it to a specialist. But i want to give it a go and see how it plans out. If it ends in tears i only got myself to blame . The reason for this topic is i would like to get some feedback as things to avoid doing and things to look out for and things to do when stripping and rebuilding these motors. I hear these engines are good for 300-350 stock internals ? im not after massive power but i might go down the path of slightly stronger internals. But im not going fully forged. I would be greatfull of any feedback chaps. Some people might say its not broke dont fix it. But I plan on keeping this car for a very long time and having fresh bits are always a bonus. Cheers chaps
  12. Parts arrived first thing this morning. Well packaged and good condition. :)
  13. Strange when its under boost. I would give it sniff test and see what happens. If you where near me you could have borrowed my tester kit. Let us know what you find. Hopefully not HG
  14. Graphics and the way you carry out assasinations is good. But they done the wrong thing buy releasing the game with One main mission to complete. Over a period of 8 months they will release a new main mission. So in my opinion your buying a game that is not complete. Like you said gambit i would wait till all the content for this title is released then buy.
  15. I order a major service kit from scoobyworld. Previouse owner said cam belt been done. When servicing found a HALFRAUDS Filter and all plugs looked like the electrode had burnt away. Defo gonna check the cambelt
