Another clean classic [emoji41] Welcome to the club bud

Great news ash [emoji106] Glad your nearly up n running again as you must miss having burble n boost in your life [emoji4]

Hi n welcome to soc . Classic rads are the same although uk cars only have 1 fan attached to it , whereas your sti should have 2 [emoji6] I've got a nearly new rad sitting here (suffolk) let me know if your close enough to collect it . As I can't be assed to post it

Driving casually I normally change gear at about 2.5 k ,keeps me just off boost . In 30 limits the old uk 5 speed didn't like 4th . Since fitting a uk 6 speed gearbox 30 in 4th is about 1.7 k and feels better .

The merc was a 14 plate coupe which tried to follow me down the slip road onto the carriage way . What can I say "I've got expensive taste " [emoji12] Don't think they expect a 17yr old scooby to eat £20k+ cars . I do love the look on their faces when I've proved my point and eased off and they come past me [emoji15][emoji4]

Ate a merc and a boxter while out n about today. Noticed a bit of boost creep [emoji19] After s bit of investigation found that I've blown a hole in turbo outlet gasket [emoji5] Oh well at least I now know why my exhaust is suddenly loud enough to wake the dead[emoji39]

Result [emoji106] Glad you've found the problem and it was nothing serious or expensive [emoji6]

Thanks for bringing that to my attention pete[emoji106]As I didn't think to look if it was automatic renewal and while checking my pay pal transactions had to cancel the subscription [emoji6] +1 for waiting for the halfords card before I go shopping for shinys [emoji39]

I assumed you'd bought that other classic to drop the lump in your's [emoji6] Are you gonna baffle the sump (if you do track days) while the engine's out ?

Tbo I do like a bit of stainless hmmm shiny . My current system is superb quality and I've never seen another one on a scoob . it's only the recent increase in db and the fact im getting a bit fidgety waiting to poach parts of the v1 sti . I haven't done anything to the car for 3 weeks and suffering from severe scooby withdrawal [emoji39]

Yeah far to many imo [emoji15] I do love the look of the cobra "track day friendly" system as well lol the back box is similar to matts pic but with a inwardly rolled 3" tip with a sort of mesh inside . I just want something subtle but , out of the ordinary Probably should wait until I fit the gruppe headers and upipe as they will change the sound anyways

Mine work fine and don't leak with the new high tensile bolts .it's only me that ever sees them anyways as they're fitted from the back . Just thought if they were cheap enough for a full set I might have gone for them as I fancy a colour change now I'm running darker wheels

Don't know how to fit them but, I think they're good as long as you get them set up with a map to suit . As the fuelling can be set up for max boost and you can always turn the boost down for every day driving [emoji6] And of cause back up again for the weekend [emoji16][emoji12]

Quite like both of those, cheers chaps [emoji106] I did like my old magnex oval tipped 2.5" system but that was a bit to quiet [emoji5] I did find this on my local powerflow website But keep the pics coming fellas as I'm booked in for next Thursday [emoji6]

Nicely done they look sweet[emoji106] Can you get the high tensile bolts that hold the 4 pot halfs together ? If so how much for a full set ? Cos when I had mine shotblasted they lost 4 of them and the heads on the replacements I got don't match .

think I'm gonna stick with the decat , although I have got a miltek sports cat in the shed just in case [emoji6] Hopefully will be nicking some gruppe slipjointed tubular headers and 4 bolt upipe of my brv . So I was just going to get a quiet back box made up (by my local powerflow) and connect it to the last slipjoint on my zigen system for now . Just fancied something different than a jap style exhaust tip ... Oval , rectangle, twin ... just looking for a bit of inspiration with the pic's Really [emoji4]

I've got 2 resonators in the middle section and it's still to loud for me . it was quiet untill you hit 3k[emoji12] then came alive sounding sweet with the standard headers, upipe and cobra sports cat .[emoji41] But with the engine work ,ported headers , haywood n scott slipjointed upipe and cusco decat it's a bit much on the carriage way now [emoji19]

It will still cause a bit of drag but ,minimal hp loss imo . That's why when chasing ponies some people put lightweight pulleys and flywheels on (so the engine can rev more freely) . I haven't ever bothered fitting lightweight pulleys or flywheels myself .As although their pretty shiny and supposedly give a minimal increase in hp/balance , I have seen them loose torque due to having less mass while already rotating

It was quite a expensive system when new (£700+) as it's slip jointed and jasma rated. I'm also unsure if it will match up with any other middle sections due to the slip joints and I might keep the middle section . Saying that if it's standard fitment or I get a full cat back I might sell it on so will bear you in mind fella

I'm thinking of changing my exhaust for a quieter option as the jasma zigen is to loud since fitting a decat :-( I do like the look of my current system but, would like to see a few pics of what you're all running .As I'm probably going to get a bespoke cat back made up so can choose whatever design I like thanks in advance clive

Just thought I'd ask in case you'd already done a set , but thanks for your input anyways [emoji106]

Not really a close up but the best one I've got on my phone

No sorry I ment early classic preface . it's a 94 sti with a facelift crystal front end but, I'm thinking about putting the preface back on . Looking for something tinted black ideally

Nice work looks loads better than the tangoed oe lights [emoji106] Have you got many pics of classic lights ? As I'm thinking of retro fitting the preface lights but , haven't seen many aftermarket choices .

There's 2 coolant pipes (one either side) so coolant can pass around the throttle body to stop it freezing in extreme cold .You can just disconnect them and connect them together with a bit of small bore pipe (to keep the flow of coolant). So in normal conditions you don't warm the intake air with hot coolant as it passes through the throttle body .
