Pommy

Welcome to the club, from what I know not many of them will but I'm sure there is some compatibility. Is there anything in particular you were looking at?

Bradford in the week and Leeds on the weekend at the moment. And I will fill one of them out later tonight. Promise

The pipe was blanked off just to the right of the intercooler. All on now and hopefully correct, engine sounded nice when running so hopefully everything working.

Sad to hear you might be selling but always nice with a company car. I would have looked at it at that price when I was buying mine, and would have probably asked more for it now. Paintwork isn't the end of the world as these are second cars for lots of people so they have money to put it right, or used as a trackday car where paintwork isn't as important. Hopefully you will get some good offers very close to the £2000 mark.

So flip it over and then put a cap on it of some sort? Any idea on the best way to block it? And assuming it is safe to drive at the moment as it is just a blow off valve?

Hey, So I have fitted this recirc valve. I'm assuming there is meant to be a hose attached to this big hose. But where is it meant to go? And where can I get the hose?

Well I hope they are. Was the end to an awful weekend anyways. And definitely looking forward to the more sociable hours, finish work at midday on Sunday so a 1400 start is perfect.

But why didn't they change the schedule, the digital one that is. Wanted to watch the whole race and the digital guide said itr started at 12 so I selected that and it was on lap 37 I believe. Bit of a pain in the !Removed! when I don't want to know the result before I watched it.

Well with the rear tyres cracked on my wheels I started the search for new tyres, forgot how expensive they were even part worn. Then I started to look for rims and tyres second hand, managed to find these with 6mm tread all around and matching tyres, told they were looking a bit sorry for themselves but the tyres were good tread which is what I cared about more. Arrived the other day and got them on the car, tyres were flat and rims looking horribly dirty and some curbing damage. Pumped them up and gave them a scrub with the rough side of a washing up sponge. Have turned out fairly nicely. Am now thinking of keeping these and doing a light refurb and then selling the 17's. Also noticed that all the tyres are Toyo Proxes so that was a nice surprise, was expecting Nankings or other budget considering I paid less than £70 delivered. So a nice little treat, now if the recirc valve comes my car should be up and running again. Only downside is 1 centre cap is missing.

I get it on sky go because we have it at home and its good to have the F1 live and movies on demand. But the BBC highlights are so good its hardly worth getting up to watch it.

Sounds like a good plan to me, will definitely get some tea and biscuits and such. I know of a place in Leeds with around 30 parking places and a kettle and possibly some indoors area for people if it gets cold. And not on a hill side. But as above lets get some more info and dates from people and then plan.

Last night I was looking at the schedule for SKY F1 to see if they were going to replay the race later in the day as I didn't fancy a 6am start. It said the highlights were on at 11 and the full replay at midday. I opened the sky go app at 1205 not wanting to see then end of the highlights accidently and what do you know the race is half way through. Double and triple check the schedule and saying that the replay was meant to start at 1200. Thank !Removed! for the BBC showing the extended highlights at 1400. What a good way to start the season with Sky, they have only had a few months of winter to get ready for the season. Absolute ****. But enjoyed the race.

I am away from 11th of April on holiday for 2 weeks and back around the 25th then have exams for the 3 weeks after that. Could do before the 11th or and evening after the 25th depending on the day.

Have these, willing to swap, will send a PM

Nice t hear that someone is saving instead of parting and selling. Will be a good little project and should end with a nice car.

OK, so what does the last number of the engine code mean?

Hey everyone, I am a bit confused about engine codes and a couple of other things. My car is a 2000 year Turbo 2000. From what I've read this was the uk name for the WRX GT. And from what I've read implies I have an EJ207 or EJ205 is that correct? And which one is it? And also not sure about the years and differences between v5, v4, v3 etc. Have had a google but no clear answer to me. Thanks

No problem mate, thanks for clearing it up. I will definitely have a closer look when I get the new part. However everything else looked as it should when I looked yesterday.

RH said the diaphragm was gone which would explain that. Is it possible to fix them?

Put the new (to me) wheels on, pretty rough looking at the moment but with good Toyo tyres, underinflated but will pump them up tomorrow although will have to use a hand pump to get some pressure in them before buying a new inflator as I found mine is broken:(

I understand all that, and understand why. More interested in what could cause the damage to the Dump Valve, RH said it was a Forge dump valve. Are they known to break a lot?

Well today has been an interesting day to say the least. Booked the weekend off work to go and visit my mum for her birthday this weekend. Anyway had ordered some new wheels in which a recirc valve was included in the price, was meant to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday (at the latest) however they hadn't arrived by the time I left so off I go. I got a couple of miles and the car was running very very rough, sounded like misfires and nearly cutting out, the engine warning light came on and engine was idling erratically between 1000 and 2500 RPM. Pulled over, took a look at engine, couldn't see anything obvious so shut the engine off, left it for a couple of minutes and re-started and all seemed fine. However 2 minutes up the road it started again, turned around and headed for Richard Henry in the hope it would be a quick fix. They put the diagnosis machine on it and it threw up a idle valve issue (I believe) and they had a look. Said that the dump valve was to blame as the diaphragm was gone. What could cause this? I took the dump valve off earlier this week just to check that the bolts would come off and put it straight back on. Could I have somehow caused this? Hopefully the recirc will arrive tomorrow and that will fix the issue. Although the company sent the wheels via UPS and the recirc via royal mail, odd but should be ok. Hopefully this run of bad luck will end soon and stuff will stop breaking and I can have a cheapish week or two!!!

Yeah it was me who have these calipers, all working well with me, the feel and braking strength is better than before, although I did upgrade the discs and pads, so not 100% sure what is causing the most change but have had no problems what so ever with the calipers and they look nice. Only thing is that they are heavier than the standard brakes by about 750g I believe although it could be more.

Called them and they said they only pay £60, which is more than I was offered so not too bad I guess
