stants Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Not sure, I wanted them all the same but can't get the oil temp one I want so may go for a pair of stack ones and my existing multi boost o/p I'm already pooing myself at the little info I've got [emoji52] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ha. Think we all do the same. "That's different" doesn't always mean "it's breaking". But you can see why they don't fit all these gauges for us. I'd hate to not be able to monitor it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyXV Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Seems a bit steep is that a proper body shop or a 'chips away' place ? Colin, it will slowly drop to .9 then I need to blip the throttle to stop it cutting out, was the local body shop near me, might get a quote from chipsaway if they can be recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'd have a word my dad's just had some car park dings and a scuff on the rear bumper done for 150 and it's a good job, I know they are franchises but I'm sure they must have the same training, I only paid 300 for a new sill & part arch +paint on my old mazda. Maybe they didn't want the work archnd quoted so much, is your colour hard to match ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty much stuck now till they arrive as I could remove the existing t peice and pop in the oil temp but no point taking most of it apart twice, Off to buy a new soildering iron haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Found an STI JDM 6 speed.... is it worth it? It comes with gearbox, prop shaft, rear diff, rear shafts and hubs. Will my front shafts fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 If you can afford it go for it, cos it's definitely been my favourite mod shorter gears equal more gear changes [emoji53] But less lag when rolling [emoji4] Mine is a sti UK Box and has a longer ratio but tbh I think it's only 5th and 6th are longer and I do 700 rpm less @70mph in 6th than i did in a uk 5th The only difference of inner front drive shafts on turbo imprezas is in late 04 when they change from female to male but you can buy a stub axle conversion kit to make them fit . So you'd use your scoobs front drive shafts with the 6 speed . If your scoob has the same ratio as the box your buying you can keep the scoobs rear diff in situ and just use the 6 speeds prop,cradle,gear knob to fit the 6 speed If the 6 speed gearbox and your diff ratios don't match you'll have to find your diff type and the donor diff type (either r160 or R180 ) As i think if your diff is a R160 and the donor diff is a R180 it's shafts and your hubs, discs ,brakes,shafts won't be compatible (easier to fit a R160 diff the same ratio as the 6 speed) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Cheers Savage, good information :). I've been thinking hard about it, my front shafts will fit. Also the kits comes with everything else so I don't need to worry about my diff, shafts or hubs on the rear :). Only concern is my hubs have group N wheel studs on them which are a different thread size to normal subarus. So I would need to swap the studs over which is a big job I think. My brother didn't seem too keen anyway ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSam Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've only been able to look at it sat feeling sorry for itself. However, the heads are finally going off to the machine shop today- turns out they've been sat at the garage waiting for somebody to take them. The parallel fuel rail set up idea on moving forward- I've decided I'm going to get a Nuke FPR but at £250 it'll have to wait a few more weeks. I'm also considering a swirl pot- not 100% necessary but it's a nice addition. I've been off work ill after a long weekend away, which has also given me (dangerously) time to also have a nose at a 6-speed conversion. I'm sort of hoping someone can talk me out of it? Please.

Gambit Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Well over a took a Royal mail Van with a BMW720 up my !Removed! so proceeded to overtake leaving it by some distance the BMW I mean, so let off the accelerator to slow back to legal speed. I watched after short time arrive for him still tanking it to sit on my !Removed! once more. Now with the rev limiter in the car ( the Missus ) And my youngest felt I shouldn't do anything so the next chance the small pricked man got the chance over took me so felt the need to give him the bird as he went past :) Not arrogant just better ;) My wait is now on until I see it again :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother didn't seem too keen anyway ;)No problem bud [emoji106] do you know what diff ratio and type is on your scoob ? And what's the year ,ratio of the 6 speed ? im not a 100% but i think if you change from r160 to r180 set ups on the rear ,the inner rear cv or drive shaft length differs due to the bigger (stronger) r180 diff ,if so you'd need .... Diff shafts Hubs (5x100 pcd) Rear discs Handbrake shoes And possibly calipers ( 2 pot rear brembos ) If the ratios are the same you'd just need 6 speed...... Box Cradle Gearknob and linkage Prop shaft The speed sensor Clutch /fly /slave Starter Front drive shafts Ect Can all be used from the 5 speed set up [emoji6] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Moved boost/op from left side of dash to centre last night, powered all up and stopped working, so came to work early re soldered everything now works, Awaiting an npt threaded galley plug to attach oil temp to, now just need to find out what the hell this means perm live or just ign live & negative ? Unlike you impreza chaps I don't have a clock on the dash to take power from so I wnat to get it right as I'm about to hack into the demister button or hazards [emoji50] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think I'm just getting the box reconditioned now, time has fallen short the scoob needs to go in for work asap as I can't drive it. The list of jobs are: Brake master cylinder (I lose my pedal if it's not pressed for a while and if you hold it down it slowly sinks) Long travel on handbrake (easy fix but may as well add it) At 60mph there is a howling that gets worse when turning right (sounds like wheel bearing to me) Diff is whining it's knockers off all the time So really it's driving a bit rubbish :(. If the bill isn't so bad I will get the handling kit from CDF racing, Roll bars, drop links and ALK ;). That's the Subarus treat for being brave in hospital lol.

Ouch nice list :( Not to worry you though the hub might be chewing the bearings up :( I did get a 2nd hand one that's worked great though off a jap import breaker not even had to swap the bearing had it on about 2 years now.
