February 20, 201510 yr majik it's by no means show standard just a hobby that keeps me out of the pub at weekends . being a 21yr old car it's got it's fair share of carpark scars and it's a daily, so normally full of sweet wrappers/mud . It wasn't to hard to flip the inlet as a lot of v1 to v4 components are compatible . It's a v1 running a v3 tps, v3 icv and throttle body I simplified the vac /intake pipework buy deleting the fuel vapor lines , purge valve and charcoal cannister . If you fit Parallel braided fuel lines and billet rails you normally remove those anyway [emoji6]
February 20, 201510 yr Last part arrived today to transform back to wrx tomorrow :-) Drive fast, Race faster
February 20, 201510 yr Sounds good mate...you want to put something in the NE section? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Will do buddy.
February 21, 201510 yr Just gave mine a really good wash :) Realised it needs a good hoover and could do with the seats being wet-vac'd
February 21, 201510 yr Here's a pic of my engine bay, I'm sure there's a restrictor pill in here somewhere!
February 21, 201510 yr Finished install high flow fan jets for intercooler spray, waxolyed wheel arch and polished caliper. Now chilling with a well deserved beer :-)
February 21, 201510 yr Author No worries mate it works if click the link, do you have a two or three port boost solinoid ?
February 21, 201510 yr And stickerbombed my fuse box. I'll see how it lasts for a couple of weeks, then I might do the alternator cover and air snorkel. Can the silicone hoses be used for the coolant lines aswell (the thin hoses from the radiator to the overflow bottle etc) or do I need better quality hoses for these?
February 21, 201510 yr Just ordered some LED bulb for the interior lights :) Quite fancy changing the red ones in the doors too.
February 21, 201510 yr Maybe should have looked first, just bought 2 metres of 3mm id hose, as far as I can see now, I only need about 12 inches ha ha

Fusebox.jpg Can the silicone hoses be used for the coolant lines aswell (the thin hoses from the radiator to the overflow bottle etc) or do I need better quality hoses for these? most silicone hoses come in 2 grades solid rubber walled for vacuum lines and mesh reinforced for coolant and boost. although some companies offer another grade for oil and petrol, if it's just a simple straight length or single bend have a look on the Auto Silicone Hoses website (dam site cheaper than samco)
February 22, 201510 yr Cheers. The ones I have got are from ASH off the bay. I need to check what grade they are when they come then.
February 22, 201510 yr Destickered my new one. Finally got rid of the dodgy sunstrip and now to rip out the stupid sub that someone's put in.
February 22, 201510 yr Cheers. The ones I have got are from ASH off the bay. I need to check what grade they are when they come then.I bought my stuff direct off their website and it gives you a option for which grade you want .their ally pipework is good quality and shiny too [emoji5]
February 22, 201510 yr Not today but on Wednesday I had my up-pipe heat wrapped. Had the heat shield removed a few months ago and due to the location of the up pipe (close to cylinder 3) decided it was best not to leave it kicking all it's heat out onto the engine and in the engine bay. Looked one hell of a job to get to, thank god I got SSS to do it for me. Found my downpipe had no gasket between it and the turbo too. Thought it sounded a tiny bit "blowy" at low revs. Turns out it was this. Also feels slightly sharper now too. Win, win :) Today I've just dropped it off to get my rear arch sorted. Hope the result is good, I know the paint isn't easy to match on these especially at almost 12 years old.... Fingers crossed. Still, better than letting the rust spread.
February 22, 201510 yr Sold my front seats out of the fozHmmm how's that gonna work out on Mondays commute to work ?Cos unless you've got arms as long as a orangutan and a pair of Mrs stants heels on .... surely you won't be able to reach the peddles and steering wheel while sitting in the back [emoji23]
