Got a clean ported standard manifold £50 +pp

I'm quite impressed with the eibach springs as they seem to be slightly less harsh in a straight line over bumps than my standard springs but a lot stiffer in the twistys [emoji6]

18's look good but if you're intending on lowering the car be prepared for a harsh ride on our well kept roads . Imo 17's are a better option and even then my arches had to be rolled with wide offset 17" rotas and eibach pro springs or the rears rubbed with 2 people in the back on my classic

I did find the link for a pdf apexi manual but can't seem to copy n paste it for some reason . If you google it and chose the result from rs25 forum in the states ,the link is clean as I've downloaded it myself .it doesn't teach you how to map but it helps you to familiarise yourself with the functions . As a few people have asked what can be seen on the hand controller Here's a few shots of my hand controller after a spirited blast up a slip lane I usually run it in 4 channel mode (my choice of parameters) it shows real time and peak 8 channel shows just peak but gives you a idea of what parameters you can monitor/chose to view in 4 channel mode As for adjustment you can change just about everything if you've got the balls / no how[emoji41]

I think newage 2ltr turbo coilpacks are the same , they definitely work on the same principal . Generating the hi amp spark directly on top of the spark plug so less current is lost through the extra resistancethe longer length of wire causes used in the classic set ups . As for the condition I've bought a few bits from mb and matty said they were from a low mileage standard wrx (I've got no reason to believe otherwise ) As for the discs just double check that they're the vented type and your better off to speak (rather than email) to either. . Ayln @as performance . or ian @goodspeed As they'll be able to identify exactly what set up you've got to make sure you get the right parts . And questions with answers make for a good source of info to help in the future (hopefully) So your welcome [emoji106] And if you can't find it with a quick search on here ,ask away bud cos I like to see early classic being saved and given a bit of tlc [emoji4] I've read that the front wings are a close match to the profile of the rear arches. Might be worth looking into too for the repair work (if they are the same )

V1 &v2 have separate coil packs on top of each spark plug (4 coil packs in total) which receive a hi spark from a igniter (behind the boost solenoid ) that gets a low amp signal from the ecu V3/v4 have 1 coil pack in the centre of the inlet that receives a low amp signal from the ecu and generates a spark for all 4 cylinders V5/v6 have 1 coilpack like the v3/v4 but it sits off center on the inlet. Newage separate coil packs by pass the igniter and generate a strong spark directly on top of each spark plug. just make sure you familiarise yourself with the link , are confident you can solder well enough and make sure you get the newage coil pack plugs with a long enough wire to splice. I got my newage coilpacks and "pigtails" (plugs with wires) from Matty @ mb developments (scooby breaker)

Not available for about a month or so as I need a spare set of rims with legal tyres while I get my rotas refurbed . I'll get some better pic's at the weekend showing the flaky silver paint

Got a set of speedline chronos that are in need of a refurb £130 +p&p here's a pic of them on my classic . They don't clear 4 pots but were fine with my uk turbos 2 pots

!Removed! hell that's a lot of dough bud . When I spoke to his assistant last year he said he wasn't keen on mapping older cars without any history as if they let go on the dyno people might think it was his fault and bad mouth him on forums He'd probably spend all day mapping it though as he's very thorough and maps off boost to gain better economy (not just power) I think Andy forest does apexi and is mobile so will come to you , might be a bit cheaper mapping on the road .

Once my base map has was done I was tempted to have a go myself but didn't as it's easy to make a little tweek and make a costly big mistake. Saying that I might still give it a go in the future once I've got some way of monitoring the afr (fitted a gauge and a wideband lambada) as I think afr is the only thing you can't log from the hand controller. I've got a link on the p.c for a pdf on apexi I'll chuck it on here for you when I get chance

Here you go bud http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/3094-a-few-pics-of-my-project-so-far/ it's been ongoing project for 3 yrs or so and can't see a end to it yet [emoji4] but the thread brushes over a few topics with some helpful pics n links [emoji6]

There is a bit on the coilpack conversion with a link showing how to convert the "pigtails" to fit a classic engine loom , the conversion cost me £80 for the newage coilpacks with pigtails and about 2hrs to cut , splice, heat shrink and fit the coilpacks . Plugs are ngk heat 7's don't know the part number I'm afraid but as long as their for a 2ltr turbo impreza they'll fit (ones for the 2.5 are a different length )

I'm about 25 mins from sudbury bud let me know if you're planning on coming down and I'll try to make sure I'm free fella [emoji106] As for my scoob I think the drivers side plastic interior kick pannel is the only original part of the v3 uk left [emoji1] I've got a build thread on here (it's pinned so doesn't always show up on tapatalk) it shows a bit of the solid single pot to 2 pot newage conversion and a few up to date pics P.s my misfire went when I did a newage coilpack conversion and fitted new ngk 7's gapped at 0.7 [emoji6]

Think I'm the only one in Suffolk on here [emoji57] Unfortunately brandon is about as far away as you can get (and still be in Suffolk) it would take me almost a 1hr to get there so I can't help , sorry bud

At a guess I'd say that you had a r160 hub running single pot rear calipers with vented rear discs [emoji6] 3 types of rear caliper/disc set up's on classics (years and models are approx) Single pot rears with solid rear discs wrx's and uk's Single pot rears with vented rear discs (grove in the caliper is wider to take the vented disc) 94 to 98 sti's had these . 98 onward sti's and type r's had a r180 rear hub and 2 pot rears (same as newage) Give alyn @ as performance a bell cos his website is a bit button moon lol but he knows his scoob brakes and can supply pagid stuff at a competitive price . or speak to him about a 2 pot rear conversion , mine cost me just under £200 including second hand calipers/discs with new pagid pads and ally conversion brackets from alyn . Much better stopping power with the extra "pot" and bigger discs [emoji6]

I've got grafite grey rota boosts on my silver classic but they look a bit "lost" in the arches due to being so dark . I'm thinking of getting them refurbished in either gloss black or silver . Here's a couple of pics.... Mainly cos im a pic !Removed! anyways[emoji4]

I'm all mods declared with both the dvla and my insurance company. if some **** hits my car I don't want to be left out of pocket for having invalid insurance and belive me the insurance companies will wiggle out of paying if given a chance . Did have a 30 min discussion with a traffic copper one morning that pulled me over had a good look round my renny 5gt turbo and couldn't find a genuine fault. So insisted my yellow (factory fit) foglights weren't standard and they were to low . Even though there's a cut out in the front bumper for them it wasn't Until i showed him the Renault stamp on the lenses he just told me to turn them off even though it foggy (fooking fuctard) He then tried to fine me for obscuring the rear drivers window buy hanging a shirt on ....... the "shirt hook" wtf Who looks out of the drivers rear windows in a 2door car no one (that's why they put a shirt fooking hanger hook there) So laid the shirt one the back seat and I asked him if I could borrow his pen...... to right his pc number down . He said he'd let me off this time (knob jockey) Don't get me wrong I'm glad the police are there it's just the odd few "jobs worth" that get my goat. Was that on the wrong thread .... Gonna have to find that rant thread later and get it off my chest lol

That's a v3/v4 engine bay As for brand hks are supposed to be the best but aren't cheap .

I've got a few mates that would give me a hand hopefully over the weekend, if you weren't so far away jay I'd gladly accept the offer bud but remember she's loud n brutal (car not my mrs lol) I might just try changing the controllers setting's to read just boost (bigger readout for just one parameter) and tape it to the cluster while driving up n down some slip lanes

Attowe set up a few settings for me on the apexi hand controller for me to use once i think it's sorted and the eml to flash if any things not right . I can see the live parameters and it will hold peak boost , knock ,injector induity, revs ect but it hits 1.4 bar quite early and only holds the peaks for me to see . I need a co pilot tbh so they can monitor real in time higher in the rev range and not just peak boost afterwards [emoji6] Even if it does seem sorted I'll get it back on the dyno to confirm alls well

Had some scooby shiny stuff turn up today eibach rear camber bolts Maf cone filter adapter plate Blue vacuum pipe So I set about removing the apexi super intake as it was on the car when my brv bought it in 2011 and had seen better days Comparison pic with the massive 3" intake k&n and battered tiny apexi Hopefully it's the reason I wasn't able to hold 1.4 bar above 4.5 k [emoji57] Seems like a likely culprit as when the engine was in the v3 uk(with the k&n) it held 1.4 bar till over 6k although the esl ecu seemed to keep richening up the map and drowning the power with fuel . I'll switch over actuators at the weekend as I've got a spare one anyways. My workload has increased lately so I'm unsure when I'll get chance back to the dyno (again lol) But the k&n looks like it will be more than up to the job[emoji4]

Quite impressed with the ash hose's quality and price but I think they only do generic shapes (not subaru specific sets)

Had a few shineys turn up today too [emoji4] Eibach rear camber bolts ,air filter adapter ( to allow me to fit my 3" k&n cone) and some blue vac lines (didn't like the black stuff I bought)

My 4 pots came off a 97 p1 (along with my prodrive mats) And I'm running godspeed discs [emoji4]

I don't know stants I just assumed that it would just flow and return to the rad eventually but the outlet from the header tank to turbo is high up so it might only flow when really hot
