  1. If they are fubar'd, give Alyn @ asperformance a bell to discuss a better option for a replacement . As he knows his scoobs and I've always been happy with his pricing and brand options [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  2. Are they definitely warped ? As if some pads and discs ain't put through their pases the grooves clog up . If thats the case sometimes getting a lot of heat in them (braking hard on a slip lane a few times) can clean em up . Might be worth a try before complaining to them . I warped 2 sets on mine but i think that was due to having red stuff & kevlar hard compound pads for road use .as ive done 1.5k on my current adb discs and pfc pads without issues (so far lol ) Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  3. Was the geo out and if they adjusted it do you know if that should have resolved the issue ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  4. Yep great day out , my 13yr daughter loved it too [emoji41] Was nice to see such a selection on the stand , i think we only had bug ,hatch and newer versions missing . Pull yer fingers out boys [emoji16] , stants was there and he doesn't even own a scoob atm [emoji852] I wouldnt mind just going on a rwyb day next year as well , as i could do with the pratice to do the old girl justice [emoji23] Nice to catch up with those i spoke to , sorry i missed a few of you and big thanks to Geoff for taking the time to organize us rabble 🖒 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  5. Stayed dry for japshow finale @ santa pod today [emoji41] Although the scoob was flithy by the time i got there [emoji849] only took a couple of pics of our stand but hopefully someone else took better ones ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  6. Nice choice Geoff [emoji41] Shame it looks like we'll have a few extra spaces but at least they'll be a bit of space between us all . .... So nobody's scoob catches tin worm of mine [emoji16] Won't be doing the 1/4 my 13yr old daughter's coming along, as she wants to be a mechanic [emoji849] bless . Should be there by 9 ish though ,fingers crossed for a dry day 🤞 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  7. The crystals are a straight swap , the bumper and grill are interchangeable too . The indicators on v1 to v4 are the same but you'll need to fit v5 onwards indicators along with the v5 onwards bumper . I'm fairly sure the fogs are standard fitment on all classics but the v5 onwards fog covers are different to earlier ones for sure. Can't help with the dash compatibility , although the v4 onwards has the facelift interior im not sure about the clocks . Saying that ive seen a few newage (bug onwards) full dash and clock conversions in classics , so anything's possible Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  8. Jdm Imports are sometimes referred to as "grey imports " due to the history either being in Japanese or missing but the correct colour should be in the log book . Sometimes the model can be registered wrong , I've seen a few classic wrx's listed as N.A 's . On impreza's (under the bonnet) there's a I.D plaque near the passenger's suspension turret . Cross check the vin / chassis codes off that to the numbers on the v5 . Take note of the model code and give that a google , this should tell you exactly what model it is .

  9. Was unaware that the other people going that i know , were already on other club stands [emoji849] Maybe post it up on the f.b page , as theres been a couple of people asking about stand passes in there [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  10. Might be able to fill the stand spaces if there's not any takers on here , how many passes have you got spare ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  11. Yeah as long as its definitely turbo and not engine issues . If it was standard , mint bodywork and good condition its probably worth £6k ish Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  12. It does depend on rust , general condition , correct diagonis of fault and if the cambelt and clutch are due soon . But Id guess at £3k to £4k Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  13. Is the suspension standard and do you know whats out ? Ie camber ,caister,toe ect . As the rear suspension is pretty unadjustable with only a small amount of movement in the strutt to hub mounting bolts . Most use elbaich or whiteline camber bolts (under £30 for the pair) to make the rear camber adjustable. Due to it being non adjustable as standard id check all rear bushes , rear lateral link and trailing arms for wear or damage . As just buying camber bolts and adjusting the rear on 1 side could just mask a faulty part [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  14. Prodrive boxes are renound for being 1 of the quietest boxes out there but ive never tried tbh Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  15. Loud pipes save lives [emoji16] You could always just buy a subtle looking back box thats a bit louder than the prodrive Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  16. Eventually i traced the problem to a 3rd inline alarm fuse hidden behind the center consul [emoji851] The hovering had dislodged a old scotch blocked connection behind the ecu harness, which had grounded out on the ecu bracket and blown the alarm fuse [emoji55] At least I'd had a crash course in scooby electrics and have given most of the electrical system a good checking over [emoji41] With that fixed it started up but ran a bit rough to start with which i assumed was due to the unburnt fuel in the bores .As it soon stopped misfiring and ran fine for 2 weeks .. .. untill the mrs drove it again and it stalled and started running rough ffs . First guess was that the unburnt fuel had fouled up the plugs as it had been taking a few extra turns to start . New set of platinum tipped heat 7 plugs and it seems to be running fine again [emoji41] Although i was glad i removed a fair bit of the oe pipework as i only needed to get the washer bottle out of the way to gain access to the coilpacks [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  17. I had softened the coilovers by 4 clicks all round for the nearly 1,000 mile round trip to Cornwall. Was well impressed with the comfort for the 6 .5 hr trip ,especially with 4 up and a boot full of cases . Kudos to my mapper too as 310 miles from a small jdm classic tank aint too shabby [emoji16] Wife decided to hover the scoob out but 2 hrs later it kept just cranking over and wouldn't start [emoji848] After checking all the usual stuff (fuses,relays ect) it was time to dust off the multimeter and investigate further [emoji852] I downloaded a few wiring diagrams and About a hr later it looked like this [emoji849] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  18. I've fitted the new front t2 uprated dba discs and a nice 970 mile round trip to Cornwall and back bedded them in nicely . Now leaving me with a much better pedal feel and a dam site better performing brakes [emoji41] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  19. Fitted and shes running fine again [emoji41] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  20. Last time the mrs drove the scoob i ended up with the dash out to fix a electrical fault [emoji852] This time I've ended up with a bad misfire ffs [emoji23] So today i be mostly fitting new spark plugs instead of prepping the scoob for japshow finale next sunday [emoji57] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  21. Have you done a ecu self code check ? If not have a squint in the tech section on here for the how 2 . Its probably because the ecu needs a speed reading to help calculate load . Have you checked the upper and lower cable join and where the cable goes into the box ,are fitted correctly? As they can be a pita to line up . Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  22. There does seem to be a little bit of oil pooling at the bottom of both cylinders in those pics . I wouldn't say that was excessive leaking though , so it doesnt need to be done straight away . It is probably the cause of oil on the threads , so just bear it in mind and if it gets any worse or the cam cover gasket starts to leak , replace the whole kit at once . Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  23. No problem bud 🖒 If its not on the electrode tip end and its just on the middle/top of the thread , that would probably point to the cam cover to spark plug gaskets weaping . If they do need replacing import car parts is about the best place to buy the oe gaskets and "half moons" . Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  24. Id add a 3 port boost solenoid to the list , if you haven't got 1 already . Unsure what turbo you have but if its a vf34 or vf35 youd should see 330hp ish with the mods you've listed . Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  25. That looks like a 1 way vacuum valve but im not familiar with the newer models Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
