they and one of the TD04's are now sold one Td04 and set of bug rears left

any pics of what you want the car to look like as i could ask about.

Tuning really depends on your budget, no mater what model car you have. I’ve gone from a more or less standard car (my00 classic auk turbo) to one that’s got very few parts left in original condition, but to do that I’ve had to throw a shed load of money at it. Shall base the upgrade stages on a classic UK turbo for now. So first things first, decide what you want from it, do you want to do easy mods that will help the performance, or do you want to eventually go the whole hog? The basic engine mods start at decatting, updating the air filter and remapping. On a classic at this stage an uprated panel filter is by far the best option instead of an induction kit. Generic chips aren’t worth it (excluding the PPP kit) the maps are either too general to make large differences, or they can cause serious running issues risking the engine reliability. The basic cost is roughly £1000-£1500 ish to get to this stage, and should boost performance from 215bhp 215ftlb to 260bhp 260ftlb (as a rough guide, exact figures vary from car to car). Next are basic suspension changes. Up rating the rear anti roll bar will remove some of the generic under steer present in impreza's. (Roughly £150) Drop links will stiffen up the connections between roll bar and the car (roughly £100 per end of the car) anti lift keeps stops the front end from going up and down as much, however this means a geometry set-up is required. (Combined roughly £200-£300) Strut braces will reduce body roll (£120 front upper, £120 front lower and £100 rear) basic upgraded springs (stiffer) (£250) then basic brake changes Also brakes should be uprated, 4 pots should be a minimum (although post 98 cars will have them as standard) uprated fast road pads (£140) uprated brake lines (£50-£80) further improve braking response uprated grooved disks (£140-£250) for all of the above your probably looking at £2000-3000 After that it start to become more involved and much more expensive, but also depends on model. Bake upgrades mentioned above are a must, and possibly the introduction of a uprated 6pot brake kit (£1200 -£2000) Full uprated suspension, including dampers and springs (£800 for a full kit), adjustable is possibly the best option at this point, they tend to allow even stiffer settings but also allow for softer to be used when required. Power wise you’re looking at changing the turbocharger, fuel pump and a remap to suite, however you'll hit a limit at around 320bhp on this set up. Roughly an addition £3000 (total £5000-£6000) to get to where I am now (340bhp) you'll need, uprated turbo (£250 for a second hand one up to £750 for a brand new vf34), front mount intercooler (£450), induction kit (£100), uprated oil cooler is advisable (£450), a full set of gauges (£650 for defi's), some cars also need new large fuel injectors (£400), also your at the very top limit of the gearbox, an uprated on is either a straight cut ppg or similar kit (£3000) or a switch to a 6 speed gearbox (£2000). The standard clutch won’t cope and will need up rating (£450). The standard ecu may become a problem at this level (£1500) now as a rough guess your up around the £11,000-£13,000 Once your past this point then your talking serious money the engine isn't up to the job, rods block and pistons can't take the boost pressures and will need replacing. Head bolts won’t be strong enough, headers will be restrictive, as well as all the parts mentioned above becoming also not up to the task. A full custom rebuild to get to that sort of power your talking (very rough guide), with various of the above mentioned parts £7000+ for 400bhp £12000+ for 450bhp £15000+ for 500bhp and the cost per bhp goes up and up, past this point its so variable as to the cost you can't give guess figures, they have to be priced up professional. The price shown is rough guide and varies dramatically depending on tuning company and market prices for parts. However what I can tell you is there are some off the shelf engine that can give mega performance and for what they are aren’t overly pricey (in context anyway lol) Scooby clinic do an off the shelf SC450 package which iirc is £12,000 plus vat for a 450bhp engine, including suitable clutch and gearbox. which is very good value indeed, but is a whole different ball game as far as performance goes. So it goes back to the question, how far do you want to go, and what’s your budget. Hope that rough guide helps. Rough guide which i have used more or less :) however im using a TMIC, and some other stuff :) but before it went into shop it was running 280 with Y piece on the intercooler as this is the most important part, buy this before remap, same with Decat or sports cat, and Air filter. i was also running Iridiums as well :)

screw it all the way tight... then turn it about 3 full turns loose. drive the car and go WOT in 2nd gear.. BOV... if you can hear flutter that means its still compressor surging. get out of the car and turn it 1/2 turn loose. repeat. once you get close to the "perfect" adjustment, start fine turning at 1/4 or even 1/8 of a turn. repeat. this will take a couple runs, but at least you know you're BOV is tuned for YOUR car. Borrowed from the evo lads. hope this helps

might explain it then, ill see if i can find a thread on it .

You will get an EML light on the dash to say that there is no cat, either a remap or a ecu reset will get rid, i would recomend Toyo sports tbh as cobra is really expensive especially for fitment on a Non turbo well in the £370+ mark for cat back.

Are they not off the PPP ?? as i remember they were a different colour to standard, STI are red i know that as its whats on mine.

bottom one looks like my RS turbo accessory spoiler on the Fez bomb :) looks good pal.

welcome matey

i went with scooby worxs pump, as i too had read about the walbro failing, wierd story about the alarm cutting the power, but alas its a scoob after all, hope you get it all sorted pal.

Would be great to finally have a dealer on board, the subaru Dealers around here are very unwelcoming, especially to the younger of us like me.

hi there, to turn a none turbo car turbo you usually have to lower the compression from around 14 to 8, this is done through different thickness gaskets. you would then need to change the fuel delivery system and manifold, an intercooler to keep the incoming turbo temps down and an bigger radiator. It can be done but is not cost effective, for the same price you could pick a decent second hand Engine from a reptutable scrap yard. the price are very good as im looking for quick sales :)

Ground issue ? have you tried the bulbs in a different way ?

speak to Turbo technics, however it was never a popular turbo so you may struggle to find one.

You made the right choice. :)

had one on my old bugeye and i loved it, very loud and in your face the way a scooby should be.

cheers for that Nick yep dont even get me started on that dust collector lol, and i swear i do have the worst luck known to man.

get the adapter off scooby worx think it was £15 when i used it, under the alternator is best and add more wires to the existing oil sender so it will still show if your low on oil, make sure thread lock is used as they are a nightmare.

Should organise a big open day at the garage like they do in the USA :) welcome to the forum

Exactly, a replacement screen is going to cost me £60 upwards as Sony imbuilt there screen protectors that are apparently shatterproof ;s

there a few on ebay from Aus £600 with hand controller. new as well.

i had windows when it first came out and tbh it was the biggest pile of Smoosh ever, froze all the time and the apps are £5 ea.

looked at a few sites in anticipation, realized im going to be very skint and wept a bit.

well turns out im slightly cursed. While using my sony xperia Z1 today, I thought i could hear a cracking noise and looked at the screen and to my amazement i was a crack go from one side of the screen to the other in a half moon shape. This phone has never been dropped and only has a slight mark where i cause the screen but in a different place to where the crack is. I checked on google and apparently its a common fault with the Xperia's but Sony Wont acknowledge that there is anything wrong. I spoke to one of the assistants and this was quickly apparent, i was quizzed if it had been dropped and told that there is nothing wrong with the phone its self, it would have to come back to Sony where i would have to pay for the repairs and if i didnt accept the repairs i would be held to a £15 release fee, i explained i wouldnt mind paying if i had broken the phone but in all my years of Phone ownership ive never smashed a screen once. Im totally dissappointed with Sony as ive recently sold my Iphone 5 to get this and was upgrading to the Z2 in the next coming weeks, however i now think i may reconsider.

i got mine off ebay, but i knew what to look for and ended up with a genuine one off an evo 6, got the adapter and fitted it to the scoob and skyline.
