Hi guys, just introducing myself to the family... After hunting for a new car for a while I finally drive the WRX S and knew I wanted a hatch instantly. So after much searching I am the proud owner of a red STI hatch, 59 plate with 28k on the clock.

Having already modded a few cars I know it wont be long before she's a hole in my pocket ;)

Wotcha and welcome - love a hatch me, feel free to get stuck in - all friendly on here

did someone say hatchback,i like hatchbacks,mine is called cyril  welcome to the club and if you like to show some pics of the car go right ahead don't be shy 

welcome to S.O.C 

hello and welcome.

 

don't do anything to your car without having it mapped properly by someone who knows what they are doing.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, unfortunately I haven't had the chance to take any pictures quite yet, well other than yesterday's pic which was...... Not great.....

Will look stunning when sat on its wheels on the deck mate.

I'm having an absolute mare with it in all honesty... 1 day into ownership I had the EML come up on a cold start, turned out to be a valve on the secondary air injector (which I understand is common). So a can of WD40 sorted that anyway.

Now 10 days into ownership while I was parking I noticed the brake hit the floor! I'd always felt something wasn't quite right and wanted to do a bleed so this was definitely the time. Bled the brakes but this hasn't fixed the problem. With a test I have found stamping on the pedal works perfectly but soft 'normal' use just pushes the pedal to the floor with no effect, so I figured it has to be the master cylinder. 

I'm more than happy to save some effort and fix the car myself even though it came with a warranty but now there is some money involved in fixing it I have sent it away to be done. Today the garage has come to the same conclusion but problem is that no one can find a master cylinder! 

Gutted for you mate. Nothing worse. I have been in that situation. I'm sure it will get sorted soon. 

these chaps are breaking an sti - ok its not a brand new part though
