What have you done to your Subaru today ?

Nice to see you back, would be good for this forum to be more active.

 

Is it a gear knob?

Sti carbon inserts for the wings, the laile part ? Pitchstop but box looks too small so I'll say some form of bushing or strengthening part

Very good guess but I already have a whiteline pitch stop ;) , in the laile box is a brake master cylinder brace ,

And in the smaller box is a Cusco steering rack brace

Over the weekend, ive had the front of the car off, its now showing off a set of Hella Supertone twin horns, a massive upgrade from the puny ones from subaru.
Bit of front end bling in an otherwise fairly toned down car.
Pity I messed up the idle calibration from having the Battery off, and had that to deal with afterwards. Self inflicted though.

Postie came yesterday with a massive box from luke at icp [emoji106]

then today i got a call from my engineer saying he's finished cleaning and checking the last few bits of the bug sti engine [emoji41]

Looks like I'm gonna have plenty to do now [emoji4]79ee4abfc21549bfef18db73635caf06.jpg0d6d1970a8c256b67e98abc18bc051bc.jpg

Mrs was supposed to be having a operation yesterday , so i spent most of the day sat in a nhs chair at the hospital.

After 5 hrs i got really bored watching the mrs sleep and accidentally bought a set of 3x prosport wrc halo gauges , to cheer her up after the op ...... .

Only to find out her op was cancelled and we got sent home 10 mins after said purchase [emoji849]


They're not hear yet but for £200 they look a decent bit of kit from "little devil gauges" [emoji41]
All I've gotta do now is tell the wife and hope im not the one gonna be needing a hospital appointment 🤣[emoji23]

I’m intrigued what’s the remote for ?

Remote is to set colour , brightness , peak warnings and colours . Apparently the "halo ring " lights up when you hit the peak / minimum limits .

Which will be a refreshing change from my "ring " nipping when something goes wrong [emoji4]


Are they easy to install ? How do you go about getting electrical supply them, I’ve always been put off illuminated gages for that reason. I was looking at getting a gredy informeter but I priced up all the bits and bobs needed and it’s over £500 [emoji85]

I know my way round a engine and have recently learnt a fair bit about classic electrics chasing my v1's gremlins .

But gauges are fairly simple if you get the right subaru fitment "bungs " for oil temp n pressure.

I'd say it was about 2hrs work when you've done it before . Shame your so far away from suffolk id have glady done it ....

Well once the bugs running again .

I just liked the idea of my old skool apexi f.c hand controller logging peak values after a pull , although my mapper has set the eml to flash (for knock , egt , airflow and temp ) warning levels , which is a good visual warning on the dash [emoji41]

I'd like a audio / visual warning as soon as posible, rather than looking at peak values after the event . Hopefully avoiding too much damage if something fails [emoji6]

[mention=1399]savage bulldogs[/mention] - just seen your face party post glad all okay - reshell on the cards??
Yeah me and my daughter's are feeling a bit stiff from the side impact , the v1sti's looking worse than it is . Don't think they'll write it off due to the £7k agreed value .

3 of the rotas are fubar'd passenger side wing , front door , rear door and a slight dent in the outter sill .

Managed to get a mate with a recovery truck but it was too low to get on , so pumped the 2 flat tyres up and drove it the 2 miles home . Nothing seems bent as it drove fine .

5 polish lads in a honda estate just decided that they would change lanes in a 30 limit without checking over their shoulder and side swiped me [emoji34]

Few pics of the damage , i'll get some better ones in the daylight 0b17178a3f216ff5a5df39f8c6a8d17f.jpg27c3098eaf10a2ec9639e7768a1e8c2e.jpgaafbfb433dbe9b148111b04b163d5e65.jpg

David looks like I'll be cracking on with the bug now , cos i can't live without burble n boost for too long lol .

So seeing as a few of the core members are asking about gauges , i'll do a little how 2 fitting the prosport halo gauges into a newage .

As I've already decided that the v1sti is gonna be back bigger n better than before [emoji4]
so the bug sti's old defis will go into the v1sti and new prosports into the bug sti

Heartbreaking [emoji25] Good news you're all alright. Hopefully the other motor was insured and legal.

I’d be gutted. Good luck getting it sorted.
