Yeah the z4 runs a tdo5 16g and possibly yellow 440cc injectors . As tidgy said best bet is to put the standard air box back in ,as that should sort the fueling out untill you can afford a map able ecu and a remap .

Sounds like the noise is in time with the rotation of the wheels . Does it pull to 1 side when braking or if you release the steering wheel? Could you drive with someone in the back to listen and locate excatly where the noise is coming from. If it's coming from a wheel arch .... Could be a sticky caliper , handbrake mechanism or bent splash guard. Shock, top mount ,lateral link bush . Wheel bearing or inner /outer c.v . Are all worth checking for wear /play If it coming from the center ... Rear diff and diff mounts /bushes or prop uj . Best of luck getting it sorted bud

Your welcome mate , much sooner see it being used rather than sitting in 1 of my "you never know I might need that 1 day " boxes [emoji5]

You said it had a new lump ,was the clutch kit ,spigot bearing and gearbox oil renewed when the lump was switched? Thrust race or clutch release bearing wear will (normally) get louder when you dip the clutch on idle when stationery. I don't know too much about gearbox witchcraft tbh but the gearstick works the selector forks and I wouldn't have thought that pulling the gearstick slightly would make the release bearing make a noise . What's the box and diff oil levels and conditions? Unfortunately it Does sound a bit like gearbox issue ie idle shaft ,selector ,center diff ect . If the oils old ,You could try dropping the box oil to see if it's got any metal bits in it . While under the car check the gearbox mounts and cradle bolts are all ok and that the gearstick linkage isn't worn or loose . Hopefully it's a cheap fix for you fella

I've got a fair understanding of general injection and ignition timing from setting up old school carb and dizzy N/A engines. After owning and setting up the avcr (electronic boost controller ) I'm now comfortable with boost target maps and solinoid duty adjustments to achieve those targets . So although I'm more than happy with Clive attowe's skill in the dark arts of ecu mapping, i've decided to by the necessary equipment to data log and map apexi ecu's myself [emoji41] Don't get me wrong , I'm not gonna jump in and start altering parameters but I intend on doing a bit of data logging and using the analogue input on the apexi ecu to add a wideband sensor . So the first piece of equipment turned up last weekend . Aem x digital wideband kit to monitor air fuel ratio, hopefully I'll get this fitted at the weekend and order up a "hako f.c " interface to start logging data and learning something new [emoji41]

Just make sure it's the v1 (92) to v2 ( early 96) fitment kit . As the heater matrix ,turbo coolant and header tank hoses are different from other classics

I know a couple of people who have got gt4's any prices in mind ?

[emoji23]

Not in Essex I know but I used Clive attowe tuning in Norwich and I'm just across the Essex border in Suffolk 😉

Got 4 x elbaich pro springs with new rear shocks and group n top mounts ? £150 ( group n top mounts cost me £120 )

There was a mint bug sti wagon at attowes last time I was there , he did say it was rare but I didn't know why [emoji41] At least that explains why I couldn't find it listed [emoji106]

Didn't know they stopped making them tbh but I did know the dvla get it wrong sometimes lol . I tried the usual sites to find your "applied model code " and I can't seem to find it . If you search a bit longer it might crop up somewhere on the net . If it's got leather seats it might be a "se" (I think that's what there called ) which is a wrx with different trim . Try to find out if it's a mistake by the dvla as if it's a wrx it will affect value and might lower insurance costs

Yeah give the gggf8kd number a google to find out what it was when it left the factory. Log books don't always have the right info ,as a mate of mine had sport on the log book of his jdm wrx import Afaik The brembos and 6 speed are standard equipment on bug onwards sti's

Hi n welcome to soc , nice looking wagon[emoji41] Has it got brembos all round and a 6 speed box? As they're standard equipment on a newage sti . Although the only real way to know if it's a genuine sti is by checking the "model code" on the silver I.D plaque [emoji6]

Nothing again ..... but I did buy a aem afr kit and datalogit to allow me map apexi fc ecu's [emoji6]

Think I bought the same ebay nuts couple of years ago [emoji53] instead of gloss black to match the rotas they look like they'd match my brvs nuts (strangely ginger ish ) [emoji23] How much were they sandy ?

Today I be mostly giving the scooby the hump ..... It don't look to happy that I've got the day off , walked straight past it and started working on the caddy instead [emoji23] Only tidying up the rims and cleaned the bay a bit ...... as most of you know I like a clean bay

Dunno much about how the graphs are supposed to look but the things listed all seem to be to do with airflow /fueling. Maybe check .... Loom earth's and plugs . Spark Plug colour /condition. Intake air leaks . Vacuum gauge check that the actuator is starting to open and reaching fully open at the correct pressure

I bet its fast as fook though being Light weight RA version . Rust Altered weight saving tin worm at its best [emoji23]

Mine has the ra rear bench and original v1 sti door cards which almost match the front seats, well colour wise at least

Mine we're already in the v1sti shell I bought off my brv for £500 ...... along with the rotas, apexi ecu , Whiteline bits ect .... but i looked at what the hatch seats were selling for at the time , hence why I knew what they were going for back then [emoji6]

Seems like a bargain bud , these were going for £400 the pair 3yrs ago . Not that I payed that for mine [emoji6] And I bet a few 2.5 sti's have gone pop since [emoji39]

Shame your not a bit closer you could've sat in mine to see if you like em

I like them and i have no problem fitting my skinny !Removed! in either classic or newage seats lol . I'd love to replace em with some original v1 sti cloth and aclantra buckets though (to keep it looking original ) but they're all over 20 yrs old . So I recon I'll have to eventually get some standard classic bucket seats re trimmed.

If ir occurs when accelerating or decelerating (engine breaking not with the clutch dipped) As stants said check the gearbox and rear diff oil levels .if the levels are fine and they're due a change, maybe try refreshing the oil in both. I'd imagine if it was p.s whine you'd also get it while idling stationary and turning from lock to lock.
