    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
  2. savage bulldogs
    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
  3. savage bulldogs
    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
  5. savage bulldogs
    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
  6. savage bulldogs
    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 .

    Glad it was a easy fix fella [emoji41] Did you do a ecu reset ? ( think the code check guide covers it) Early classic's (pre 96) have the o2 sensor just before the upipe , are you sure it's not been relocated to there or further down the downpipe ? I think standard boost shouldn't be anymore than 0.9 bar on a 97 sti . if it's more than that and there's no sign of a manual boost controller, it's probably been remapped. I'd get on a local rolling road as for the sake of £50 it will let you know everything's running ok .

    I know this dash cam was in a 650 hp gtr , so probably not to relevant in this thread https://m.facebook.com/home.php?ref=bookmark&app_id=4748854339#!https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152587085031613&id=1012718039&refid=7&ref=bookmark&_ft_=qid.6033719230632082263%3Amf_story_key.5685645728017741780 But Damien Bradley's legacy makes mincemeat of it in a straight line lol

    I think most maf failures show a rough running or holding back as symptoms . It still could be a boost/air leak issue (due to the noise) As air coming in is measured by the maff . Air in the inlet is measured by the MAP sensor (manifold actual pressure) . And gasses on the way out by the o2 sensor. Any loss of air between these sensors would show a fault in the air system . Check the black plastic intake pipe (from turbo to maff) tmic pipes , dump valve (and fittings) for splits . Once you manage to solve the noise issue I'd then do a ecu reset which might mean you don't have to buy any sensors .
  11. savage bulldogs
    I know it's a issue on the v1/v2 phase 1 type , but not on the later classics . Doesn't mean it's not faulty though , just not a common problem . Have you checked the cap spring/seal as it might be stuck . Or the overflow blocked mabye ?
  12. savage bulldogs
    No probs with question's we like to help if poss. I'd start by checking the main boost hoses after the turbo and under the tmic (assuming you're not running a fmic ). There's a link on here for the self code check (somwhere lol) It's much like the paperclip gm test .
  13. savage bulldogs
    if it doesn't do it when you engine break id say it wasn't transmission related. I'd eco turbo related , Sounds a bit like a boost leak to me . Have you done a ecu code check by plugging in the connectors under the dash ? When you had the boost gauge connected what did it read ? Did it hold boost or drop off ?
  14. savage bulldogs
    If others haven't found issues I'd leave em . It was just that I had a similar issue when I fitted the 4 pots , only had 3mm clearance though, got a bit parra about wheel flex or a stone getting trapped. So fitted some 3mm cheap ally spacers (£30 for the full set) from a local motormainia . As for bearing issues I understand people saying it causes more stress , but people run wide arch classics on standard bearings without many talking of bearing failure (to my knowledge). So surely a slightly wider ofset or small spacers don't hurt . Or just Ask me again in 6 months and I'll let you know if my (barely legal) wide ofset rotas have chewed my bearings to bits [emoji23]
  15. savage bulldogs
    They look sweet fella , nice choice [emoji41] Have you thought about running some 3 mm spacers ?
  16. savage bulldogs
    Other than having play in all directions ,worn Bearings will normally make more noise when turning . Try with the clutch dipped whilst cornering (under load will "humm") To determine what side. You could also try engine breaking at low speed to see if the noise is rear drivetrain/diff orientated . If the noise happens more then. Mabye check rear drive shaft gators ,propshaft uj and diff oil level . I hope it's something simple , keep us updated fella
  17. savage bulldogs
    Don't know much about this topic tbo [emoji5] But have you looked into saggy butt spacers (que gambit lol) http://www.paranoidfabrications.com/shop/category/subaru-impreza/saggy-butt-spacers/ Apparently they stop the extra weight of the foz making the rear end sit lower when using the wrx set up
  18. savage bulldogs
    Got the one for my v3/v4 off here http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts_info.asp?id=1576&cat=96⊂=97&sec=143&var=54&dc=0&gen=&searchKey= But your better of ringing them as everything's not listed on their website [emoji6]
  19. savage bulldogs
    About the cheapest brands I know of that give good results are japspeed , autobahn and hybrid design intercoolers . Id stay away from the unbranded "ebay specials " and toyosports as I've read the flow and heaksoak are a issue . I've got a hdi fmic myself and can't fault the quality , but their probably the most expensive on my list at about £500 .
  20. savage bulldogs
    That was a nasty ebay special so we switched that for the autobahn fmic off the breaker . Poor thing also had a paddle clutch which shook the !Removed! outta you every time you tried to pull away . It's only done 86,000 klm and it's a shame I can't keep the original engine , but I've put to much time n effort into my current cdb . Will admit I'm still in 2 minds whether to .... Do a loom swap to run my mafless v3 ecu . Or Dice n splice the v1 loom to keep the separate coil packs and apexi ecu set up .
  21. savage bulldogs
    That's not on the screen it's my mrs standing in front of the telly trying to get my attention , cos apparently since her boob job none of her bikinis fit and she needs new ones for our holiday later this month [emoji4]
  22. savage bulldogs
    I'm looking into a powerflow 3" system for mine as the current zigen sets alarms off and pisses off my neighbours some what lol
  23. savage bulldogs
    Hi n welcome to soc fella What's your target power ? As said above what injectors ect are you currently running ?
  24. savage bulldogs
    I'm fairly sure that we've still got the lights n grill and hopefully will be able to find another preface ally bonnet and get a set of original aclantra seats eventually . It did look like this when my brv picked it up 2yrs ago
  25. savage bulldogs
    Nah the doors are a bit mix n match due to some of the original ones (black handles) having dents .so when we broke the classic my cdb came out of we fitted the facelift front end and switched a few pannels around cos my uk scooby , his v1 and the breaker were the same colour [emoji6] Just gutted we scraped the original preface bonnet [emoji19]
