  1. Have you checked to see if it has got a esl daughter board? If not unplug the ecu and whip the casing off . It should look like this If the ecu hasn't got a esl board, do a ecu self code check, to see if there's any fault codes stored and reset the ecu .There's a "sticky thread " in the how 2 section [emoji6] What colour are the injectors? As they should be grey 380 cc ones . If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  2. Because of the the lovely view or have you just ran out of milk (again) [emoji12] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  3. I'm glad it's running ok ,cos it seemed a bit like a man sized jigsaw when you first asked a few questions on here lol . Limited milage might bring the insurance down a bit but it's normally hell'va steep the first year for anyone and tends to go down once you prove that you're not going to take out a bin in maccy d's car park doing 4 wheel drifts [emoji23] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  4. I think they want to know the distance between the centres of the 2 holes at the bottom of the struts. But They should be able to tell if they fit by the model and year of your car tbh If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  5. On a run Mine does about 210 miles to ยฃ40 of shells finest ..... Well if I can manage to leave the bwaaa shhhh peddle alone [emoji12] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  6. Nice choice chap [emoji106] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  7. You're welcome mate , I'm always happy to help .It's just a bit unfortunate there's not that many local members on here . Your face was a picture when I gave it some beans on the slip lane and left that tailgating mazda for dust ๐Ÿ˜… That was the first time I've been pulled over in nearly 5 yrs of scooby ownership . Shame I got pulled over just for driving a shiny scooby @ 65mph in a 70 mind you they were checking for undisclaimed mods not mot failures. All my mods are all listed with my insurance so no worries there ๐Ÿ˜‰.they did find a brake light fault and was quick to write a ticket ๐Ÿ˜ถ i replaced a blown fuse and we were off again within 10 mins ๐Ÿ˜Ž .unlike The 330 beemer and the 2 lotus exiges seemed to be in trouble ๐Ÿ˜†. If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  8. I probably just set it up vta again rather than putting air into the inlet that hasn't been measured by the maf . my pcv valve is in a box somewhere and my custom inlet manifold hasn't got any take offs to refit one anyways . I hoping to find the time to at least start fabricating the spacers for the parallel fuel rails in the next couple of weeks. As I'd like to get the map tweeked cos it's stalled twice when warm . I do think that's due to me shortening the fmic pipework and the bigger turbo core causing a lot more "flutter" when backing off the throttle. If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  9. I wasn't sure as I've never owned anything newer than a v3 and the v5/v6 run the similar software that's found on the newage ecu's (both can be mapped with ecutek) If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  10. The early classics have a "self code check" function , I'm not sure if the later v5 onwards classics have the same function (as the ecu's are different ) But there's a "sticky" thread on here somewhere that shows you how 2 self read codes [emoji6] Couldn't remember where but Strangely enough it's in the how 2 section lol . If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  11. Sounds like it's running ok now [emoji41] Shame it looks like you'll have to sell a kidney on the black market to insure it [emoji57] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  12. Took a punt on a compact baffled catch can Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331537851199 Hopefully once I relocate it to the front it will lessen the oily smell in the cabin. If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  13. The remap would probably correct the fuelling to get it to pass the mot and replacing the (possibly failing ) cat for a sports cat would rule out the cat as the cause .It would also flow better to get more gains from the remap. Mine passes the co2 emissions without a cat as it's mapped correctly off boost . Simon from jgm used to map a lot at "Surrey rolling road" I'm not sure how close they are to you but I'd imagine they've got a bit of experience with scoobs and might be able to point you in the right direction. If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  14. Main stealer service history is expensive but normally about a thorough as you'd get imo . As things like, pollen filters,clutch fluid, diff oils and grease points are normally refreshed. Which get over looked at some smaller garages . As for mileage my 94 sti has 86k mls but most of it's new (by choice) lol . The chairman of scooby city has owned his 97 UK turbo since almost new. its been serviced by rcm most of its life ,runs a safe 320hp and has over 200k mls on the original engine .[emoji41] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  15. Classic sports cat downpipe, believed to be 100cpi with divorced waste gate (flowed well enough to make 330hp on my uk turbo ) ยฃ150 . 4x Classic elbaich pro springs ,which are progressive rate (stiff in the twisties and softer on the pot holes) lower a uk or wrx 30mm ยฃ100 . Pair of Classic Nearly new rear shocks (done 2k mls max) ยฃ70 Pair of classic Nearly new Group n rear top mounts (done 2k mls max) ยฃ90 (ยฃ120 new). Momcom phase 1.5 (v3/v4 )parallel fuel rails ยฃ50 Classic 3 port boost solinoid ยฃ30 Whiteline pigtail front droplinks for classic impreza with steel arms ยฃ15 Tdo5 16g front entry coldside which i used to convert a early top entry turbo ยฃ40 . Prices are based on collection from ipswich (Suffolk) pics on request and I'll probably add more as I find it [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  16. If i do get a baffled can I'm hoping the baffle will help to lessen the oil in the vapour . I'll be going for a can with a sponge filter on the outlet as well .Then venting it through a pipe near the bottom of the rad ๐Ÿ˜‰ If it's still stinky I might add a inline filter in the vent pipe . If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  17. Look like xxr's I think If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  18. been quite busy lately and haven't had the time to fabricate some spacers to make the fuel rails fit and won't bother to fit the z32 maf until the rails are sorted ,as I'll have to get attowe to rescaled the airflow for the bigger maf . He did kindly set up a afr warning so I've been gradually adding a slightly higher boost targets with the avcr . It was running 1.58 bar with the tdo5 16g ,so I know the fuelling is set for more boost. I upped it in 0.1 bar stages over a period of time (monitoring knock ,air flow,temps ect) and it's now running 1 bar ๐Ÿ˜Ž I have treated it to a clay , Machine polish and a couple of coats of colinite but the only thing I've fitted is a sti 3 bar coolant cap๐Ÿ™„ Even that felt a bit strange now that "liz" (my english bulldog ) is no longer under my feet ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜‡ ( rip little helper ) I do miss liz helping and watching, so I'll have to get the kids to come out and kick all my spanners and socket sets over instead ๐Ÿ˜Š Currently thinking about getting a baffled oil catch can too .the ebay special does work but needs relocating as it vents to atmosphere and you occasionally smell it in the cabin .so hopefully relocating a baffled can to the front will help ๐Ÿ˜‰
  19. Both my 97 UK turbo and the v1sti have this plug but neither of them had anything plugged into it . The v1sti did have the tmic water spray as standard but the tmic spray set up was in the boot when my brv bought it (cos it had a fmic fitted) . I vaguely remember the water spray system had a white round plug .Maybe someone has a standard classic sti with the water spray system still operational and can confirm if that's what it's for but I'm 80 % sure that's what it's for [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  20. Where about are you ? As someone might know a reputable 4wd dyno nearby. or just get a sports/ de cat and a remap If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  21. Understood. Guess I'll be removing the idle air control valve tomorrow and cleaning it up. Seems it could be what's causing my issue. Thanks. :) If you do remove the icv make sure you don't undo the adjustment screws on the top without marking the original position first [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  22. Spot on stants she always has a moan up [emoji23] I did manage to get most of it sorted and into boxes before she come outside but she still spotted the contents of one of the boxes ...... "wtf do you need 2 spare turbos and 2 lots of fuel lines for ,you should sell those cos you've already got a set on the scoob " God I wish I hadn't taught her anything about engines lol . If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  23. What about a dyno run? As this might show where in the Rev range the afr is getting richer and detect any exessive knock or detonation. At least it might give you peace of mind to know whether the engine is slowly eating itself due to bore wash or leaning off . If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  24. Glad to hear that your starting to give the bug some love Garry . I'll probably have the bonnet up as it draws people's attention away from the 22yr old paintwork . Marty, as long as your not a engine revving maccy d's car park merchant, you'll fit in fine . There's no inter club competition, just a bunch of petrol heads having a look at everyone else's pride n joy . Only thing I would say is there's not a great deal to do other than look at the 1k ish motors parked up . I mainly go cos , It's only 30 mins away from me and it's free . Well s.c put a fiver in per car to a cancer charity but that's by choice ๐Ÿ˜‰ If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
  25. Nice work , you have been a busy boy nev [emoji41] 6 speeds are also a little bit heavier than the 5's ain't they [emoji5] Glad you didn't get conned into buying clutch ,fly ,rear diff ect.... [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it ๐Ÿ˜Š
