Rollamite Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hi all, new to this website and new to owning a subaru, a quick step up from my 1.0 corsa. i have a 96 impreza sport and have found a 98STI with an OMP steering wheel i want, it comes with the boss attached, my question is, will the boss used to fit it to the 98 STI also be able to fit it to my 96 sport, given that they are the same gen and usually sell on eBay from years 93-99
Gambit Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Welcome I can't see why not, there pretty much the same car inside. And can't see them making them any different. Just make sure you wire the air bag up so the Dash light stays off And Doncaster short trip up the A16 A180 & the M180 from me lol
Jay762 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Wotcha and welcome :) that shouldn't be a problem - should go straight on.
Rollamite Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 okay brilliant thanks guys, should i get a resistor or something for the airbag wires?
Gambit Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Hi mate yeah Resistor mod its called you need 3.3 ohm :) Looked on youtube for you for a how to. Could only find one about seats but same principle hope it helps :)
Rollamite Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 thats fantastically easy! i'll pick it up this weekend and get it fitted, these should do http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100x-0-25W-5-Carbon-Film-Resistor-1k-100k-Ohm-Range-/261029953818?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&var=&hash=item3cc699011a
Gambit Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Make sure its not the 3.3k your buying that will still bring the light on its just 3.3 ohm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-3-3-Ohm-0-25w-Carbon-Resistors-1-4w-Resistor-3-3R-/120526047295?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item1c0fe9883f 1
Rollamite Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks for the help ive got them ordered and im going to pick up the wheel on saturday! is there a scooby meet at all?
Gambit Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Have nothing planned at the minute. Fairly new club but growing very quickly. But as soon as we have a few more local members to us I.e Scunthorpe Grimsby Cleethorpes Lincoln these sorts of places will try sort a local meet up. But I guess Sheffield would be ideal for you also. Will get something sorted soon enough :) And post some pictures up. I like pictures.. Just how I like my books :)
Rollamite Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 well ive been and collected it, going to fit it when my resistor turns up, however ive come across 2 nw problems, i bought a mesh subaru badged grill from an impreza turbo same colour and age as mine but unfortunately it wont fit between the headlights :/ and the car wont start either, it just clicks so i think the cold has killed the starter motor
Jay762 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 more likely Battery - the noise you can hear will be the solenoid
Gambit Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Try Bump start it might have just seized up, and it should free up. Like Jay said sound's like Battery. Cold will kill off a weak Battery And with the mesh did they have after market headlights. Or they could have had a facelift done on the car at some point I.e they swapped the wings bumpers lights and so on. But without seeing a picture be hard to tell
Rollamite Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 This is it, It has the bonnet from an L reg and the grill from the same L reg, they were red previously, but i cant get the original grill to fit as im sure this isnt the one that was meant to come with this model
Gambit Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 I have had a look at a few car's only thing I can think off is who ever you bought it off there car must have had a change of lights and grill maybe. All the grills looks the same fit to me from about 93 to 97. Unless it was from an import car which might have a different fitting :(
Rollamite Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 it was a donor car and the other L reg that was at the building was getting the parts from this one, looks like im going to have to buy some more lights then as well, i will restore it to its former glory!
Gambit Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Keep the pictures update as you go mate I love seeing project's taking place :D
Jay762 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 yes looking like a project thread in the making - keep the pics coming :) 1
Rollamite Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Well in the interest of the masses, it shall become a project thread! feel free to rename it Mods :) 1st things first the car needed a clean, mud stuck in every orifice as you would expect from chavvy previous owners
Rollamite Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 I thn noticed the rear bumper wasnt actually attached to the car! after driving it 120 miles home! So a few M8 bolts and some nuts and washers and its secure, however the arch holes have corroded so i will be drilling fresh ones and rounding off and treating any rust with Hammerite
Rollamite Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 I picked up a LATE 96 facelift grill and will be getting the bonnet and lights at a later date
Rollamite Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 I also managed to get an OMP drifting deep dish steering wheel complete with the subaru boss you guys helped explain!
Rollamite Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 and finally for now, can you tell me how to get the bulbs out of the rear spoiler light, i didnt want to force anything as it felt quite fragile Car is in for a service this week, MUCH NEEDED! as it rattles and whirs and stammers when idling, new spark plugs oil filter and oil change.
Rollamite Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 For anyone interested this was my Corsa Project, still needs a few updates as ive fitted footwell neons to it since the last pic http://www.allcorsa.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/my-slightly-maccy-53258.html?highlight=maccy
Gambit Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Nice job mate keep it up the good work looks like a fast growing project. :D Just changed the title for you. If you want another title myself or Jay can change it for you
Jay762 Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 looking good!! - the light on my rear spoiler is held by two philips head screws at the back then just slid forward - needed a mirror to see them and a small 1' screwdriver to get to them
