you could try and find a second hand one cheaper but the problems with that are you can't guarantee it'll be ok and being a newer car there won't be many about unless it's a high end breakers, as such it'll warrant a high end price another option is get it mapped to run mafless

welcome to the forum pal, and thanks to them pics i just had a little s*x wee :(

sleepy hollow

i never knew there was another Gone in 60 seconds either, will have to look at downloading that

err Gambit, if you win the lotto would it not be easier to just give him the cash for his business than buying his car off him temporarily? shame it has to go Jay but good luck with the sale

very nice, shiny too, why was it in a breakers yard, looks like its in !Removed! good nick

welcome to the club guys and gals, Dott, i too would go for the entire bonnet option and swap them over, much much easier

i like the Forge dump valve, decent sound and a well built bit of kit, another good one is the HKS Super SQV4

this is the genuine system for a 95 wrx

i didn't think it would bother you Gambit, if anything i would expect you to be turn on by it lol

i've just checked and you are indeed correct, tesco is the same as v power at 99 ron, i could have sworn it was 100, unless when optimax was 98 tesco did 99 i may have still been thinking tesco's was 1 more

that's the puppy, was gonna try and find one this morning as i was on the tablet last night, but yeh, doesn't have to be an expensive one, as long as it's got the 16 pins OBD2 connection as that has, and is blue tooth compatible which that is, you are good to go

do you have a dish washer? if you do try and clean the heads in there when they are off, they come up like new, you will need to give it at least 1 empty cycle when you've done, have you done a compression test on the heads? you may be able to get away with just fitting one gasket which will keep the costs down

it depends if the bolts are stretch bolts or not, if they are you need to renew the bolts, i'd probably replace them anyway just to be on the safe side, other gaskets can be sealed with some gasket sealant rather than the gaskets, get some good quality sealant for the rockers and inlets, loctite 5699 grey sealant is what i have and is fantastic stuff, some exhaust assembly paste with do for the exhaust gaskets, that's all i can think of at the moment, when you take the heads off if there are some cracks where the plugs come through to the pistons don't be too worried about them, it's a common issue with them and they can cope with up to a centimetre and a half long cracks, usually there are 4 cracks per plug

Just don't Google blue waffle on the images :O

I could be wrong but as far as I'm aware it's only sport classics as they use a cable clutch the turbos have hydro clutch, the sport I just stripped had it fitted and it is connected with the clutch hence why it will work when your in the car pressing the clutch or car in gear but neutral and you out of the car is likely not activating it, Dogma fitted a new clutch on his sport not knowing what the extra parts were, he tightened up the nuts connected to it all and couldn't understand why his brakes stayed on till he read the manual

A front mounted oil cooler looks cool in my opinion but you can run oil too cool which can cause it's own issues so I'd look into that a bit more, would it not be easier/cheaper to buy a turbo bonnet? UK turbos have steel bonnets so not as expensive as the ally ones

Welcome aboard fella, sure I've posted somewhere in a thread by you, might be wrong, brains puddled these days, anywhoooo I used to live in Ashton and hathershaw in Oldham, now in Preston been here 12+ years, you ever been to the castle cafe in Rochdale, they make a breakfast challenge, you pay £15 if you don't finish it but you get the food free and £50.if.you do, it's on Facebook and as far as I'm aware only one guy has done it so far

Welcome aboard pal, I was going to ask if it was a single coil pack on top of the engine or separate coils on each plug, failing that check the map, but, now you know what it is, I had the same issue when I got mine, found one on eBay, used but had a piper cross filter with it, £40 delivered, as long as the labels are the same colour it'll be fine, or should be, but as said I wouldn't drive too much with it unplugged

Welcome fellow UK 2000 wagon owner, we will take over at this rate lol

100 ron is tescos finest, I don't have vids of it as I'm always in the car when it does it, the turbo and exhaust both have to be red hot, I can get small pops from the exhaust when it stationary, it's only a week or so ago my mate told me there was flamage, I always wondered why people backed off when it popped lol, if I get some time to do a few vids though the week I will do

I got sent to anger management by the courts a few years ago, was a load of ****** imo, half way through the course I got into another skirmish that saw me before the judge just as the course was finishing, they weren't amused lol

You can get switchable maps on some ecus, my mate has one v power and one for ethanol for the track, you could do one at 300 brake for just cruising and the other to 400+ for fun, I've noticed mine spits 3 foot flames when running v power but only foot long flames on normal fuel, I'm gonna try a tank of tests 100 ron next see what that does

That's about 9.5 bar, what power are you going to be running, I've had a 4bar on a vr6 golf with a super charger running 350bhp at the wheels and that was more than enough, is it self regulating? You might wanna look into a fuel cut defender too, the standard map means it will cut power when it reaches more boost than it programmed for, an fcd will allow it to keep going, this can be dangerous for the engine if it goes too far so be careful of what your fitting and what settings you choose for the parts, I may be running high boost but I know not to be keeping at full boost for too long, that much boost for a sustained period would see a big boom from under the bonnet lol
