January 31, 201510 yr Yeah it's in better nick than most well at least it was ..... Trying to straighten things while under the influence of beer is probably not the best plan bud [emoji4]

January 31, 201510 yr Got wife's car filthy, well rather hers than mine [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 31, 201510 yr Had a scare that upset me today.vwould hit 4k revs and it coughband splutter like on a rev limiter or it was over fueling. Panicked for awhile but think just got some water in some where shrs back boosting again fine. Phew [emoji28]
February 1, 201510 yr Full service completed with not one difficult bolt. I'm well impressed by just how well the previous owners have cared for the car. The water pump was in pretty good nick but I put the new one on anyway. Old one can go on the spares pile. Each plug has worn equally. No lean or rich running on any of them. Oil really did need changing but nothing untoward. Oh and I apparently have variable valve timing? Can anyone explain this to me? I know my old car had it but that was n/a.
February 1, 201510 yr The ecu can advance and !Removed! the timing but doesn't have control over the cams until the later blobeye sti avcs heads (I think) It does look like that engines been apart as the cam pulleys are a mixture of early cast and v3 onward plastic
February 1, 201510 yr There's no service history to suggest the engine has ever been apart. That's not to say it hasn't been done. But if you heard it you'd be shocked to hear it was on 160k miles now.
February 1, 201510 yr Been browsing wheels today... Found a set of 18" gunmetal grey for £500. Tyres come to near enough the same, ouch! Maybe in a couple months lol. Also been to the lakes today, thought my luck was in and finally get to see a brz in the flesh but nope... Gt86
February 2, 201510 yr Found a scrape and two dents in my rear door One of which is on the styling line, so think I'm stuck with that one!
February 2, 201510 yr Sitting waiting for my straight through centre pipe. Then it's off to find a dent master/wizard place for my door.

February 2, 201510 yr Author New airbox hose arrived but it's for 90mm maf and it's huge so it has to go back 76mm one ordered instead
February 3, 201510 yr Still admiring alloys... so tempted to buy them. Did a quick photoshop to see if they look good...
February 3, 201510 yr Yeah I think it does change the look alot, mine won't be blanked out like that though pretty sure as lenient as the police are around here with tints that would get me pulled :)
February 3, 201510 yr Actuall mot law states if it isn't fitted it can't be tested so if main beam has been fully removed it would be classed as a modification
February 3, 201510 yr I might look at flyeye them will see when I get them back from the sprayer but it also has the indicators blanked out too on the picture. I agree Gaulson pretty excited about seeing the final look. I have full faith in the sprayer too. Wasn't bothered about the messing about with doing them two colours. This rate I'll shelf the hawkeye conversion [emoji4]
