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 😊

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 😊

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 😊

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 😊

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 😊

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 😉 If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

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 😊

Pulled a few spares outta the shed looking for something a mate wants . Fook knows how it all fitted in there but I've gotta hurry up and put it all back b4 the Mrs comes out here [emoji23] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Just thought I'd bump this as there's only 5 spaces left on the stand 😉 If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Have you done a classic self ecu code check and If so did you get any codes up ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I think that's a bit of the loom used to plug the tmic water spray in on the sti models. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

You shouldn't have any problems selling a 93. as the Americans are itching to import turbo gc8's and only the early classics are just old enough to import (due to their restrictions) If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Yeah "scooby" should be a reconised language of it's own but you'll soon get used to the jargon. Basically any 5 speed will mechanically fit. So if you get a bugeye onward box with the same ratio as your existing rear diff it will drop straight in . I'd also consider fitting a clutch while it's out ,cos you'll be gutted if the clutch goes shortly afterwards as the box will have to come out again [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Goggle the ratio of your box ty number and the ty number on the strutt I'd plate . If they're the same ratio find a 5 speed box of the same ratio and it will fit fine fella 😉. The only main differences between 5 speeds is the ratio (has to be the same as the rear diff) and the later (bugeye onwards) 5 speeds have a bigger /stronger casing than classic boxes . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I managed to find a 6 speed box and all that's needed for conversion for £1,395 delivered and fitted it myself. So I'd thought you wouldn't get much change from £2k supplied and fitted . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

It's probably not helping but I think some models of classic only run about 0.7 bar standard. Either a misfire or air leak could cause a lack of boost . Have you checked vac lines and intake tract for signs of cracking or splits ? How were the plugs any particular one blacker that the rest ? Are you getting any codes on the ecu ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I sold a full set of Goodrich stainless steel brake lines for £20 a few months ago [emoji57] Think you can get cheaper one's new for about £40 though [emoji39] [emoji116] [emoji116] [emoji116] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

About time you got this sorted and running the right power for the mods you've got, happy dayz [emoji41] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I can't help as I've never had this area of my car apart before [emoji57] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I'd probably start with plugs and visually inspect the coil packs for cracks in the insulation and signs of "arc'ing" from coilpacks to head/cam cover . As they're prone to cracking due to the heat and age . Thought I'd ask about mods as somtimes even a cone filter can adjust the airflow enough to cause a misfire or flat spot . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Has it got any engine mods ? Are the plugs and coil packs in good nick ,as it Could be a misfire or air leak If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Unfortunately I haven't got a multi meter ,so can't check the ohms for you and can't find the early map sensor either . I'm in no rush to sell anything ,as I tend to hoard useful bits of scoob . I've got 2 spare 3 ports and 2 spare v3 onwards map sensors if you do end up needing one though. On the plus side I found quite a few bits I forgot I had [emoji15] while searching through my shed load of scooby scraps [emoji23] What's the issue your trying to resolve, anyways ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Right I've found the 3 port and a v3 map sensor (so far ) are you getting a remap and want the v3 map sensor ,which is good for 1.7 bar ? Or fitting them to a standard map car , in which case you need the earlier v1 & v2 map sensor (in your pic) which maxes at 1.2 bar ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I might have a early map sensor kicking about but .... You'll have to stick a pic up of the map sensor showing the plug ,wire colours and part number . As they changed at v3 late 96 onwards and if you try to fit the later one (which is a common upgrade when getting a remap) it won't work unless you get a mapper to recalibrate it[emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
