aucky Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 had my blob about 4 days now,all ready got the urge to change things on it, mods it has are 3" decat exhaust no remap,i allways thought if you decat then would need a remap to run right,this runs spot on. sti style rear spoiler and 17" alloys things i have planned so far lip and side skirt extensions foglight covers prosport gauges perrin wing stiffies may change back box the 1 on car looks a bit dated and will add a panel filter but not look't yet to see whats in the box uprate the disks and pads all round add some coilovers maybe. thats my plan so far,i did say i was not doing anything to it but that lasted about 2 hours from getting car lol
Scoobyghost Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I think the map a decat rule is to correct the fueling which isn't always noticeable. Also can get overboost, again not always noticeable if it doesn't hit the limit but will effect fueling again. Got a friend with a classic and decat with no issues and no map either. Car looks lovely. It's a tough life owning a scoob and not modding it. Not sure how some owners manage it. 2
aucky Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 i will see what the boost is doing when i fit gauges this week,just waiting for the pod to arrive,got gauges all ready.the car is a bit squeeky over bumps from the rear end so got that to sort as well its driving me crazy but apart from that am very happy with the car,centre console panels was looking old the silver had started to show its age and was wearing off so i gave them a nice new coat of black,much better then the silver. 1
GeoffLeggy Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 'Coilovers maybe' just sling these on lol. Get you by http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Coilovers-Suspension-Kit-for-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-GDA-GDB-Bugeye-Blobeye-5X100-PCD-/131619931121?fits=Model%3AImpreza&hash=item1ea528c3f1:g:pXkAAOSwU~FWEfFM 1
Sandals Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 They seem incredibly cheap for coilovers!! Cheap chinese stuff?
GeoffLeggy Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 God knows lol. Not damper adjustable but maybe worth a punt if you dont have or want to spend £700-800+ on Teins or Meisters
Sandals Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I may try them at some point, I've never been in a car with coilovers so I hate to think spending 600+ then not liking them... if they only last a couple of years I wouldn't mind! Nice blob by the way @aucky
Scoobyghost Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I paid 350 for a pre loved set of hks coilovers.
GeoffLeggy Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 That's a good deal @Scoobyghost Just a case of keeping a look out
aucky Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 I may try them at some point, I've never been in a car with coilovers so I hate to think spending 600+ then not liking them... if they only last a couple of years I wouldn't mind!

aucky Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 thanks mate,even the mrs says they look bling lol so must be good,think its with the recessed centres that stops them sticking out 2 far.
Sandals Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Yeh, those are the kind of wheels those nuts are designed for!
aucky Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 well guys been working on the gauges,got all the wires work't out as which is for what,still waiting for my connectors to come then i can make the proper harness for them,but for now i have left the boost gauge wired up.triple pod still dont fit how it sould so need more dremmel work on that and to make things worse i drop't it getting in the car and have broke it,so have to fix that as well,its a very poor build quality,its only made of body filler and its like a egg Shell,very disappointed in it scoobyworld,but it will be perfect as i want it when i finished,just taking more work then it sould have,still making custom pod for the 5th gauge,but am hopeing all is done at the weekend 1

Sandals Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Ooft... I think only builders have cracks bigger than that! Hopefully it shouldn't be much to repair! 1
aucky Posted April 2, 2016 Author Posted April 2, 2016 Changed the rear lights to hawkeye lights today.what sould have been a 30min job took 4 hours when i found the last owner or someone had messed with wireing.just rapt wires round each other and tapt them up.so i soldered them all together heat shrink over them.sorted now.looks much more modern now me think.
