savage bulldogs

Tbh I'll never buy a fast bike as I prefer a bit of metal around me but those things ain't bikes ...... They're 500 hp + scud missiles

Looking sweet and lovely fabrication work setting up the v mount . You should chuck up a couple of pics of the turbo drag bikes you build those things look like right weapons

Fitted the brakes this afternoon ,can't tell you how much better they are as I Want the red stuff pads to bed in a bit before I stamp on them

If they're standard 02 wrx rims they'll definitely fit as I had a set of 04 wrx rims on my 97 UK turbo They'll even go over 4 pots if you've got them

Had a trial fit of the brembos and even though my rims have a wide offset, due to the concave design, I'll have to run 3mm spacers to be happy with the clearance. Did put a couple of pics but tapatalk said file size is to big (even though it normally works) [emoji15]

Glad to see you found your way over ☺ I had a similar problem a while back with my pc and had to use the mobile site or tapatalk to copy n paste ,eventually I think my pc must have updated as it worked a few weeks later . Think the site has had a server update today and there's a issue with tapatalk app not letting you log in so it might be a issue with the update ?

I like most quick motors tbh and hadn't owned anything jap until 3yrs ago when I bought my first scoob and I'm well committed /smitten with the boxer burble now . As for rims there's a massive selection but ride height (coil overs ?) And brake set up will narrow down the options a bit but that's one of the things I like most about this particular forum the wide variety of subarus and tastes without prejudice (well apart from Matt with his love for bug eye's lol) If I like something I'll do it or fit it ,after all it's my money , my car and I like to be different .rotas do seem to be a popular choice but I like my rota boosts as you don't see many on the classics .

Yeah tapa talk is fubar for me too

If the shell is rust free and you want a project I'd keep it as it's probably one of the first imprezas sti worked on but I am a bit v1sti biased

My ticket landed on the door mat today too

Shame but sometimes it's for the best bud ,hopefully it will get fixed rather than broke for bits and hasn't put you off scoobs to much

Here's a couple of pics of the v3 set up I hacked the plugs of the cars loom in case I had to wire in a custom bit at a later date There's a few differences in the versions but it shows how to plumb the vac lines from the map sensor to the air density sensor (bit with the burgendy "cap") and then to inlet manifold The 3 port should be Top port to turbo outlet Middle port to actuator Bottom port to intake pipe ,which is the small bore take off (blanked with a bit of blue vac line with a bolt in it) on the shiny turbo intake pipe your holding in a earlier pic .

Liking the look of that gambit

I did buy mine through a local forum 3yrs ago but spoke with him then and he seemed like a nice fella ,shame he doesn't stock em anymore

No problem bud Dunno if their in stock but here you go http://prolex-uk.com/shop/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=rc4lk901o3f019b6cpshgrtnd0&keyword=depo+gauges+&x=0&y=0

Ghost I got my depo 4 in 1 from dave @prolex I think ,dunno if he still sell em though I've used a fair bit of that autoglym machine cleaner tom during my fettling, its good stuff seeing as it's water based and rinses off easy . As for me these turned up today so I know what I'll be doing the next free day I do get [emoji4] and my S's pistoned 4 pots will be up for sale shortly after [emoji6]

Tried to vote but it appears I've already voted as well

Think the vf35 is based on the td05 16g (journal core ) here's a td05 16g on my brvs classic for comparison

You could try by passing the boost control system all together and temporarily running "actuated boost"(about 0.5 bar) just see if it stops the "cut" or miss your getting You do this by running a vac line directly from actuator to turbo outlet and pluging the vac lines you disconnected If it improves maybe try to put the boost vac lines back to standard by picking up a 3 port boost solenoid (about £30) and re fit the standard map sensor and air density sensor (on that bracket) As maybe the ecu is confused cos it doesn't have control over the boost the avcr has instead but not ever owning a avcr i don't know much about them tbh

Yeah everything is interchangeable so basically just start with a rust free shell or your end up spending a extra few k sorting the arches .I'd also consider getting somebody to take you for a blast in a 300 hp classic to see if you really want to hit 450 hp with your build . As a friend of mine couldn't catch my 330hp classic in his 420 hp classic type r due to his bigger gt30 turbo not spooling as quick and only hitting 1.4 @ 5.5 k whereas mine hits 1.5 bar @4k . There's a difference between pub bragging figures and drive ability [emoji6]

Imo the main thing needed is a rust free shell/subframes for a long term project and unfortunately uber clean uk's are thin on the ground due to the amount of salt used on our roads. I do find the fact that a wrx is £400 more for you to insure quite strange , have you tried any other companies for quotes ? Pretty much all that's still oe classic sti on my engine is the cams but if you intend on building a engine and replacing yours that won't matter as you can just buy sti heads to suit your version of classic . That way the cars only off the road for a weekend while fitting the engine rather than months waiting for the machine work and build to be completed. As for body work/ interior it's all interchangeable (I've got hatch sti seats in mine) the only other main things that you get on a jdm that aren't on a uk Is Ally bonnet Ally front wishbones Better suspension . A sti would put a bigger smile on your face once mapped and you could probably resell a few of the sti bits you remove when upgrading to people with uk's or wrx's but I doubt you'd get the extra grand back. Basically I think its down to your needs in the short term as a sti (280 hp standard) with a remap will see 330hpish with stock turbo and injectors A uk (220 hp standard) with remap will see 270 hp ish with stock turbo and injectors

Uprated drilled n groved discs n pads would improve things a bit if you're running stock .(about £150 from godspeed or asperformance) A brake stopper about £40 stops the bulkhead flexing and gives a better pedal feel Braided brake lines about £60 gives a firmer pedal too . Failing that front brembos from a newage sti with second hand discs n pads cost about £450 . 6 pot ap's are £1,200 new if you've got plenty of spare £'s

Saw this on fb and shared it already[emoji106] Think it was taken from Colchester chris

Double posting tapatalk lol

Avcr is really just for monitoring stuff so I wouldn't have thought it would cause to many running issues. Think I paid £80 posted for all 4 newage coil packs and the "pig tails" (the part of the newage engine loom with the coil pack plugs on ) needed for the conversion . There's a few pics and a link on my build thread showing how to convert em . A decat and free flowing exhaust stops back pressure which means the boost control system has to work much harder to stop the turbo spinning to much and causing over boost . Boosting over the maps parameters can cause fuel cut if the maps boost target is exceeded. or it can mean that the turbo pushes to much air in for the maps fueling causing it to lean off and melt stuff or the ecu can chuck in to much fuel to compensate causing over fuelling which drowns the power and can cause bore wash .
