afraid I haven't changed one on a engine full of coolant or am I 100% which one of the water sensors goes to the ecu. But it's one of the two sensors on the water crossover pipe in the pic below.

Not to sure how to tell if it's a genuine spoiler other than my current one has subaru stamped near the fixing studs. The bigger v5 onwards sti spoiler I had was cheaply made n sprayed and weighed a ton lol model codes are the best way to identify the cars version and spec , although sometimes your better off checking the code against a few lists that are online as not everything on the web is fact . Mine being a early v1sti started life as a wrx which was then sent to subaru techinica international stripped down, blue printed , re asembled , given a build number and then sold as a wrx sti . I do know the later v1 wrx sti's were given the same treatment but they made 200 per month . As the build numbers are ***/200 . I thought the v2 wrx sti's were also hand built and had a build number plaque as well . I was told from v3 onwards that they left the subaru factory production line as sti's in mass without a plaque but that's not a fact (just what I was told) . is the turbo top entry or front entry (intake passes under the inlet)

Took a couple of slightly better pics today Any good ?

Mine weeps from both ends of that pipe occasionally due to the !Removed! spring clips that hold it in place . I'll eventually buy a new silicone hose and replace the !Removed! clips with stainless jubilee ones . I haven't had any air locks (heaters still hot ) and the water hasn't dropped by much so I don't think it's a major problem on mine

Have you tried cleaning or blanking the dump off as it could be that leaking

Hi n welcome Easiest way to up load pics is with tapa talk app on a smart phone . Otherwise use a image hosting site like photo bucket , upload pic , click on links for the pic then copy and paste the "img" code on here

Nice choice [emoji106] Not to many earlier foz sti's about [emoji6] Stants will be along shortly , when he's stopped licking his phone screen [emoji4]

I loved the look of the higher spoiler on my classic but it was a cheap heavy copy with dodgy paint so I've sold it and put the standard one back on for now until something decent catches my eye . My v1 sti has a bit of paint fade and it's fair share of carpark dings but hey it's 21 yrs old in may so it ain't gonna be mint .

Hi n welcome . Don't be shy with the pics lenny cos at this time on a Saturday night most of us are to drunk to type coherently [emoji6]

Hi n welcome to soc Is that a white saloon hmmm always fancied a white one myself

What power rating is the new walbro good for as I'm sure you know the turbo's good for 420+. Mappers normally run the ait info to the ecu via the old maf wires but it's better situated just before the throttle body like this Few things that might be worth a look If it's got a aftermarket fpr with a gauge does it read a steady pressure ? Have you checked the vaclines to the fpr ,purge valve and charcoal canister ? How old are the spark plugs and what grade are they ? Are the engine earths and grey loom plugs clean ? if it runs separate coil packs have you thought about a newage coilpack conversion . Cleaning or replacing the icv is a good shout as well . Intermittent faults are a pita best of luck bud

i tend give advice mostly based on experience , some of its useful but some of it's a bit of a ramble lol. Either way if someone else disagrees or offers another opinion I tend to ask a few questions and hopefully learn something new . I just can't stick keyboard warriors who wait for somebody to offer advice or put up pic's of their pride n joy and try to rip them to bits . I know what i like in a car but Each to their own with car modding imo

Have you got a ait sensor fitted ? As Mafless can cause a bit of rough idle as the air density sensor and mass air flow meters are taken out of the ecus parameters and it has to function purely from the map sensor . So if it was mapped for warmer air in the summer the colder denser air in the winter can make a difference , so most mappers recommend fitting a air intake temp sensor to the tmic or fmic pipework to help with fuel trim

Smart move lol Think a old school friend might have beaten him as far as stupidness goes He thought it would be funny to nick a robin reliant [emoji57] Drove it all of 30yrds , mounted the kerb, wedged it between a lamppost and a wall ...... Police found him 20mins later still in the robin clawing at the windows as he couldn't move the car or open the doors [emoji23]

I'm going to get some rear camber bolts and probably go for this set up as it's supposed to lesson under steer but not scrub the tyres out as much as the classic prodrive set up [emoji6] Haven't got any personal experiences with different geo set ups but the above was recommended to me for fast road applications

Drove to norwich(50 miles away) Bounced it off the limiter on the dyno a few times then scalped a boxter and a s3 on the way home . Even though I only managed 330/320 with the tweek it still goes well but .... I think I need a bigger turbo lol

Got bored last weekend so ended up polishing a spare throttle body and re working the throttle linkage to tidy up the flipped inlet some more . after the last mapping session I was left with a misfire if the boost was pushed over 1.1 bar due to the ageing classic coilpacks . I'd fitted some new plugs and did a newage coilpack conversion upped the boost to 1.3 on the apexi hand controller .... no misfire [emoji41] Went to attowes today and the mapping jinx continues [emoji19] although the tdo5 now makes 1.4 bar under 4 k it wouldn't hold high boost later in the rev range [emoji57] End result 330hp 320 ftlbs it pulls cleaner as I've gained 60 ftlbs at 4 k but the it seems like either the engines being strangled (intake filter can't filter enough air ) Or the turbo/actuator is on it's way out (won't hold boost higher in the rev range) Ordered one of these so I can fit the massive k&n I had on the v3 and switch it for the antique apexi super intake Failing that I've told the mrs I need a bigger turbo [emoji5]

Hi n welcome . Lovely clean p1 you've got their bud [emoji106] Looks like you're dad looked after it [emoji4]

I haven't seen the sun much since putting it on the road in November so the pics are a bit dark[emoji57] you can't even see that they're graphite grey , I'll try to get some better ones over the wknd . as for stickers Gaulson definitely not my cuppa. I'm a clean lines fan..... but pink one's hmmmm yes pls [emoji23]

Hi n welcome Looks like you've well and truly put your mark on the wagon , nice work [emoji106]

Does the car idle and drive off boost ok ? (If so maf seems unlikely) Have you done a classic self code check ? Try turning the boost controller down and see if it still cuts out when you give it some beans

Hi n welcome to soc Seem to have quite a few clean early classics on here now and i quite like the black n silver myself [emoji4]

Done a couple of missions at night and was quite glad I opened a few safe houses prior to playing in the dark. As the zombies change from slow n stupid to "I am legend " limford christies . I'm finding the hand 2 hand combat with a i humans difficult (keep getting my !Removed! kicked) but I'm hoping better wepons will even up the odds . My mate has bought it now so hopefully we'll link up tonight and try the co op

My classic runs fine without the purge valve attached as when I did a charcoal canister delete I removed it without any issues[emoji6]

Today I be mostly ..... Prepping a modified shorter throttle linkage but did get a bit side tracked with the dremmel and autosol as well [emoji4] End result
