June 3, 20196 yr Well seeing as I booked in a dyno session for the v1sti and wont be using it until the turbos rebuilt and re fitted, I decided to take the v7sti for a dyno health check at last . Glad I did, as first run showed low boost , afr out and low standard 'ish power at 280hp 226flbs 🤔 I use Clive Attowe as he knows his engine's and diagnostics, not just a good mapper . Although both power and boost were down ,he started by cleaning the maf to try and stable the afr's first (better) Then set about finding out why it wasn't making mapped boost targets and found that a pin hadn't been crimped in properly on the boost solenoid plug (got more boost back) I need a new maf and will probably fit a new fuel filter , then go back to see if numbers improve but the end result was 311hp /278flbs . At least I now know it's running safe and the extra 31hp and 52flbs , has made a world of difference to how it drives 😎
June 3, 20196 yr Finally got to drive it again! Went for a decent drive with a variety of roads, 30 miles later all is well. No leaks, no steam, no misfires! I just need to sort this p0420 code and put the exhaust back on the hanger I missed end of the month and all should be well ready for the MOT at the end of the month.
June 14, 20196 yr Met up with a good mate of mine and went to a local retro car meet . Was nice to finally drive the v1sti again 😎 His evo6 rs is a lovely example , who says evo and scooby owners can't get on 😊 If its rapid ,retro and petrol, generally I like it 😉

And your bang about Evo and Subarus owners getting on as its about the passion for the cars not what badge they have on the front ;-)
June 18, 20196 yr installed some led headlight love the yellow I found a set that are yellow on dipped and white on full. And here's a pic of it at brands hatch.
June 19, 20196 yr Have committed last night to importing a leggy wagon....2001 GTB E-tune II auto, only 99k kms in black, grade 4B. Needed a wagon for the dogs so thought I'd add to the stable.Importing without a broker this time, so even better value :)Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
June 19, 20196 yr Gave up getting the gt28r with the popped seals rebuilt, quote started off at £350 😎 .... after inspection the cost went up to nearly £1,000 wtf 🤪😏. So today I bought a brand new billet wheeled tdo5 20g instead 😊

June 19, 20196 yr Cheers , it's no expensive owen development turbo but at almost half the cost of the gt28r rebuild and with good reviews from the states , I thought I'd give it a go . Dam right Garry , can't wait to get it fitted and actually start giving the v1sti a dam good spanking for misbehaving ..... and after all that is what she was built for 😊

June 21, 20196 yr Removed rear hubs with great difficulty I might add ! Ebay spesh 15ton hydraulic pullers, copious amounts of plus gas and heat finally 21 year old splines released phew😬😜
June 21, 20196 yr I'm dreading when I have to change any hubs ,bearings or shafts on my 94 sti , they've been in there 25yrs and the shafts have probably been twisted in there nicely by the 6 speed 🙄 How much was the hydraulic puller, Chop ?
June 23, 20196 yr Hi savage, pullers were a bargain mate just over £40 brilliant I had to make a plate to go over the wheel studs tho . https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264017406153
June 26, 20196 yr Gave the BRZ a bit TLC and a wash with this fresh paintwork cleanser I got at the weekend https://www.racshop.co.uk/glossworkz-gloss-booster-and-paintwork-cleanser-16-oz.html
June 28, 20196 yr Cheers chap, hopefully I wont need one but if I do that's a pretty cheap solution 👍 As for what am I doing to my subaru today 😉
July 3, 20196 yr Dropped of the Wagon for an alloy wheel refresh, I will get some pics tomorrow after picking it up. I'm also on the hunt for some decent brake pads for the 4 pot front and 2 pot cast iron calipers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. They are weak!
July 4, 20196 yr I've collected my wheels today they are in paint code GK1 They are a subtle gold, more of a caramac colour, which I prefer. Top is new Bottom is old The pictures do nothing for them, they have been done to a brilliant standard, and every detail has been discussed and checked before completion.
