  1. I bought a ht autos classic p1 rep splitter about 3yrs ago ,great fit and quality. Darren bezent @ abw does quite a few subaru bits and his stuff seems to get good feed back too
  2. I think you can buy a bluetooth odb adapter to connect the ecu to a smart phone and use a app (called torque I think) to read the codes and parameters I'm not that clued up on newage ecu code checking options tbh but maybe a local member or garage could help with reading the codes otherwise Misfiring faults do tend to rear their heads as the damper colder months draw in . Reading the ecu codes would probably be the best option as you could end up replacing loads of sensors ,coil packs ,icv ect before eliminating the fault
  3. Well fook a duck That's a hell'va cheesy grin you've got matt [emoji23]
  4. Simon roe and Clive attowe have run me through the basics of ignition timing and boost duty cycles. So it's really just the fuel map scaling I need to understand better (hence the need for afr gauge) . It's definitely something that I would be keen to learn but I need to spend the cash on getting my project pushing the power I'm after, before splashing out on the software and cable to be able to fully map the current apexi ecu. Maybe this time next year rodders
  5. I'll still leave the base map to attowe but it would be nice to be able to tweek mods in myself .As the hand controller monitors most parameters I just need to get a afr gauge set up and some det cans [emoji6]
  6. Think they're based on a tdo5 16g, so once it's mapped in , you'll have to let me know whether you prefer the bigger punch from the journal core compared to the slightly quicker spool of the vf34's roller bearing core
  7. It's a shame it's just esl as I'm running apexi ,otherwise I'd have probably gone too
  8. Looks a bit easier to fit those then on some newage and they seem to have made quite a difference [emoji106] Classic ones are easy to get to so I've got no excuse why my 21 yr old headlights are like fooking candles [emoji39] Best have a squint for some headlight bulbs methinks [emoji6]
  9. What turbo have you fitted matt ? I've been pulling my turbo to bits [emoji15] So I can drill and tap new holes for the actuator bracket now I've clocked the coldside [emoji6]
  10. There was a wrx plate up for £450 ish on here a while back but they are difficult to value as private plates mean more to certain people ie If Kevin Curtis drives a 06 wrx he'll probably bite your arm off . Have you looked on any reg plate sellers websites to find a comparison
  11. Don't you mean a "turbinator" [emoji16] Hope he doesn't smoke, cos with all that fiber glass and "pleather" (plastic leather) it will go up in flames in seconds[emoji39] On a more serious note I'm off to get some jk "make you go faster" tyres for the scoob [emoji6]
  12. Nice clean looking v4 sti [emoji41] Originally it would have had the mid level spoiler (like what's on mine atm) but the v5/v6 sti spoiler is the common high level alternative
  13. Fairly sure Adrian flux has offered me track day insurance but give them a call if you've got any mods. As they'll list and value each mod so if the worst happens you get like for like back
  14. Unfortunately I don't know enough about pc gaming or can I afford "another expensive hobby" (apparently ) I will get star wars eventually but I still haven't finished metal gear phantom pain (which I was enjoying offline ) . Mind you with fallout, wrc , a turbo and fuel rails stuffed in my stocking already I think I'd better start buying stuff for the Mrs n kids soon [emoji39]
  15. Yeah cods not my favourite fps anymore (bf4 is far better) . the "quickscopeing" kids do my nut in on cod but I've bought this one mainly for the zombies. Imo project cars is the best driving sim available on the ps4 although it is a bit twitchy when just using the controller. I will get wrc as I need a bit of rallying in my life and there's nothing else for ps4 in that genre atm .
  16. I dunno if I've still got project cars but tbh I doubt I'll be playing it for a while due to currently running around like a headless chicken on cod and eyeing up fallout 4 for xmas
  17. Sorry theo I'd turned my tapatalk notifications off on my tablet and didn't get any come through on my phone either . I still have the 5zigen system as I haven't put anything up for sale elsewhere . If you wanted to collect your welcome to but it would probably have to be on a Sunday ,as my workload is manic atm . Let me know if you're still interested and I'll pm you my address bud I also have a genuine momo course steering wheel and boss for sale off my classic £ 80 collected from Suffolk
  18. Hmm lovely lexarse lights [emoji55] Have you tried putting a jump lead from the negative terminal on the battery to the engine block/ inlet (to rule out a earthing issue) And I'll keep my spare bonnet scoop in case you bring the saxbru to jap show [emoji5]
  19. The Gearbox dipstick does the centre diff as well and the rear diff has to Alen plugs . Undo the top one first (if you're gonna refresh the oil) as you don't want to drop the oil out before checking the top one will open (might be seized) Then just fill the diff until it's level with the top hole . Don't worry about the drink Alex ,glad to hear it's back on the road [emoji106]
  20. a mates 04 blobeye wrx had ecutek remap done at clive attowes a few years back . He had to hold the revs at 3 k and press the rear demist button to switch maps while driving. It might not have been ecutek or maybe newage ecutek is different (like early esl daughter boards dont support mafless mapping)
  21. Only issue I found with the esl duel maps is you had to turn the engine off and press the throttle to the floor to switch maps . So you couldn't just switch maps while driving ,like you can on ecutek alcertek. I think you can sort of have 2 maps on apexi fc ,if you get the mapper to set 2 different injector, ign, and boost maps and save them in the settings. Then I think you can change the settings over with the hand controller. As I have 4 boost settings saved which I can switch to while driving and can see 4 ignition /fuel settings on the controller
  22. Sorry Leo the thread got buried in my feed (teach me not too post so much lol) Hope you're on the road to recovery bud and glad the earth was a cheap fix [emoji41] As for the rattle on deceleration Heat shields would have been my first thought as well [emoji6] Did you re fit the clutch fork return spring ? (Little spring from fork to bell housing) Have you checked the gearbox /diff oil levels?
  23. Yeah it allows you to set up the same boost in each gear .Which is better as when you get a remap they only set the boost parameters in one gear and you won't hit those targets in other gears due to the different vacuum pressure under different loads [emoji6] running the apexi map sensor lead add on gives the apexi fc ecu better control over the boost but not in every gear and I think I'll need a bit of help to get that bigger turbo spooling in the lower gears ..... So today I mostly be buying a avcr [emoji5]
  24. I've always used exedy pink box clutch kits but have heard somewhere that there was a dodgy batch and some had to be backed (dunno if it is true though) I bought 3 pink boxes from mark agin at lateral performance a couple of yrs ago. All 3 scoobs ran 330hp to 350hp with oe pedal feel and no issues. Make sure you get the flywheel checked /skimmed before reassembly to avoid clutch "judder"
  25. Hi n welcome Nice clean looking bug eye [emoji106]
