Is it a fuel or vacuum line that's been repaired ? If it's fuel I personally wouldn't take the chance that it won't leak again and spray fuel all over the bay If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Import car parts will probably have them in stock [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

That's not cash tom. .... they're 4 wheel alignment vouchers for when I'm happy with the ride height [emoji6] Gaulson there's always room for more scooby shiny stuff and I've still got the parallel fuel rails and sr40 turbo to fit once the weather's better [emoji39] So far I like the less body roll in the twisties and the nose doesn't lift as much when I hit full boost in a straight line If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Fitted the rear coilovers today it now sits 15mm lower than the stock sti suspension with the damper set at 16 / 32 ( halfway between hard n soft) Took it for a "scooby clinic" test drive [emoji87] aiming for potholes and speed bumps and it took them in its stride [emoji41] Might still lower it a bit more before I get it geo'd up but I want to see how it runs with 3 passengers in first to make sure it's not gonna rub anywhere. Also had a ally forge header tank turn up today ,it's a bit manky but nothing a good polish won't sort [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

If it's been stood up a while it might be moisture or corrosion on either a earth or a loom plug. I'd visually check that there all making a good connection, maybe even check the ecu board for dry joints and any other mods in the loom . Just might be worth a try before pulling the dash 😉 If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Yeah I'm doing the rears tomorrow morning ,hopefully get chance to squeeze in a oil n filter change too If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Somehow i managed to finish work early today [emoji55] So to keep myself busy I've fitted the front coilovers this afternoon If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Glad the leggy's running right now Geoff [emoji41] But Those seats look like Mrs hunny monsters "time of the month" axe wound [emoji23] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Hmm last count I'm on my 28th car so won't list em all lol . 1st car was mk1 escort 1300e with full Burton 1760cc race engine, twin carbs ,branch manifold ect ...It ate gearboxes and spun the wheels in 3rd in the dry and wish I still had it [emoji30] Mk1 Scriocco gti ,used to hydroplane in the wet [emoji33] Mk1 astra gte and a few cav sri's Renault 5 gt turbo running about 180hp ,although it was dangerous it was proppa fun and I with I still had it [emoji57] Last motor before the scoobies was a v6 3ltr 24v omega engined vectra b which wouldn't move in the snow (hence the switch to 4wd scoobs) Thought I'd add a couple of the worst ones .... Renault 11 1400cc drove like a underpowered boat. 1960's mini van the 850 cc engine lasted 3 hrs ,so I dropped a 1300cc metro lump in it the same afternoon I bought it. Mg maestro ,yeah I know but it was only £125 and it had 6 months tax 'n ticket Currently the 94 v1sti and the 1300 cdti combo work van, which almost makes running the scoob carbon neutral due to its economy [emoji4] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Was your motor cold stants ? Cos the esl in my v3 didn't like my noisy pistons and kept adjusting the map (making it richer) to compensate for what it thought was knock . So If yours was cold and "slapping" a bit it might have thought it was knock ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

There is another fuse box near the bonnet catch under the drivers side kick panel. Unsure if That's were the main relay is as "sparks" ain't my thing and my brv normally helps in that department [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Yeah me too ,i think he's only selling it to buy a sti hatch . The gearbox and brakes are worth just over £2k so £1.5k for the rest of the car Inc the 2.1 engine seems like a bargain, hence why I shared it on here [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Thought you boys would have had enough free(rain) water lately [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

A member on my local forum is selling his bug sti ,I haven't seen it in the flesh for a couple of years but he does look after it and it's well priced imo http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/forums/forum/classified/for-sale/771402-sti-import-for-sale I think it's a bargain cos it's sub £4k with a 2.1 stroker forged lump mated to the standard jdm 6 speed . if you click the link try not to get mesmerised by the seller's avatar ,gambit especially lol If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

They just bolt on my gc8 . If you don't want to have to take the back seat out to adjust the damper I'd buy some "extenders" I've got elbaich camber bolts on the rear of mine allready but if you want to adjust the rear camber I'd get 1 set of those before you get it aligned . I emailed Edwin direct from a link on their cyberspeeds website ,very helpful fella who generally replied within a hour during the day If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

The coilovers arrived today [emoji41] on first impressions they do seem very well made but I obviously won't know if they're any good till I've got them fitted If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Hi n welcome Paul I'm sure you'll familiarise yourself with the boxer layout in no time ,fella . And don't forget the pics 😉 If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

You might be lucky enough that it's only slipped a few teeth but your right the boxer lump is a "interference" engine. Just thought it's worth a squint before you do a compression test . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

It does seem strange how it's stopped running without any symptoms beforehand . Have you had the cam covers off and checked the timing marks? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Yeah how inconsiderate [emoji57] Just cos they've no kitchen until I've finished plastering it ,they think I shouldn't go home a dribble on my shiny scooby stuff [emoji23] Oh well at least I'll get paid in "4 wheel alignment vouchers " on Friday when it's finished [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Wife just text me saying a big (coilover shaped) box has arrived [emoji41] So I'm currently trying to think of a excuse to go home early but I think my customer wants their kitchen finished [emoji107] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I'm unsure what the ecu uses for it's readings tbh (I'm just a spanner monkey ) When running right These early classics make 260 hp @ 0.7 bar and the standard tdo5 16g they're fitted with will run @1.4 bar . So if the engines in good order and the right supporting mods are in place it should make 300 hp @ the fly fairly easily. So I assuming it's something mechanical holding it back hopefully the stronger spark has sorted it . Always Glad to hear positive feedback about new mapping choices . I use Clive attowe he's not a "scooby specialist " but he's mapped plenty of em in his 25yr + experience. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Tom for bushes, I'd say oe subaru or Whiteline for the road . power flex black for the track as they're stiffer but that can cause vibration If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

Hi n welcome , Lovely fresh looking foz, fella [emoji106]

Dud you disconnect the earth when having the welding done and Have you definitely got a spark ? Cos If you haven't got a spark and you have got fuel , it wouldn't be burning and it would smell rich . A blown injector ring would also give the same sort of symptoms but probably accompanied by a bit of popping and banging as it tries to fire on the other cylinders. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
