Don't know what the code is tbh ,you'll have to check the " fault code list " in the how 2 section. I can tell you that's the "air density sensor " which helps the ecu to calculate the amount of air flowing through the engine when the outside temps change . (Cold air is denser than hot air) . The blue vac line on yours does look fairly thick compared to the standard stuff , if it can easily be removed ,I'd either replace it for some with a smaller bore or put a cable tie around it to stop it popping off again [emoji6]

Most of the small bore pipes in the bay are vac lines . Just check for perished bends or joins and if they've been replaced with aftermarket ones (normally coloured and not black) make sure if there bent they're not kinked or loose . Follow the pipework from air filter , through the turbo to the fmic pipework all the way to the throttle body. Check for pipes rubbing on the bodywork (which can wear holes ) cracks on the bends and that the joins ain't leaking . A clogged or poor quality air filter can "strangle " the air flow and cause hunting idle and lack of power . By "holding boost" I mean does it reach full boost and hold the same pressure . As if you've got a leak it might only show up under higher pressure causing the boost to tail off or not reach its peak pressure at all . I'm not to sure about the abs light as mines to old to have such luxury lol

Had a little squint around it at japshow, looks like you got yourself a bargain there bud , nice choice [emoji106]

I normally buy a Mahle oil filter from opie oils with my oil and sump plug washer .(Mahle make quality forged pistons so I assume they're capable of making a filter) I did try a k&n oil filter once but didn't see any difference in pressure or temps just cost me a extra tenner

Yeah yeah stants ,we all know that the hairdryer is left over from your previous cars oe toolkit ..... Cos all mx5 owners have them in the boot [emoji55]

Unless you know someone local that has a classic running 4 pots on the front that would let you try 1 of your wheels on to see if the offset will clear them ? If you get rear 1 pot calipers and discs make sure they're for the vented rears .As the solid rear disc type calipers don't fit over the vented discs .

Forgot to ask what size rims your running, so good spot stants [emoji106]

You can buy seal kits oe refurbished calipers from the likes of godspeed for both front or rears (if budget and spanner skills allow) I upgraded the fronts with some second hand subaru 4 pots and the rears to newage pcd 100 discs and 2 pot rear calipers . As I said before the fronts just bolt on but the rears have to have conversion brackets and the splash guards removed in order for the 2 pot rears to just bolt on with the bigger dia discs . Have a word with Ian @ godspeed or Alyn @Asperformance about the rear conversion brackets if that's the route you take .

Well the old girl flew through its mot with only 1 advisory for the front droplinks [emoji2] Strange that guess I'd better tell the wife we need some new ones soon [emoji6]

I assume that yours has the 2 pot fronts a single pot rears that come as standard on the v2 ? Most upgrade the fronts to 4 pots with bigger dia discs off the later classics or newage wrx's with pcd 100 discs .these are a Straight fit but I would recommend braided lines to firm up the peddle feel . Have you got vented or solid rear discs ?

Most scoobs are remapped for v power /momentum 99 Ron as it gives the best gains . Couple of things that would be worth looking at. .. Have you checked the vac lines ,intake pipework and fmic pipework for leaks ? Condition of air filter ? Does it hold boost ok ? Do you know how old or what condition the spark plugs are ? Icv is a good shout , it can be cleaned fairly easily with brake cleaner and a bit of wd to lubricate it afterwards. just make sure you buy a new oe gasket for your version for refitting it once done .

Is it your front or rear brakes that you want to replace ?

Yeah I'm glad I took si with me , always handy to have a detailer/ strong man competitor. .... just in case the scoob gets dirty or I get a flat tyre and can't be bothered to get the jack out . We certainly enjoyed the day and hopefully I'll get him to bring his forged v3 sti v limited to the next pod outing [emoji41] 0 to 252 in 5.3 I think that jet car did the 1/4 [emoji33] but yep I agree the day flew by just as quickly . Thanks for organising it pete [emoji106]

Lol that might as well be in Japanese cos I'm not too good with sparks . I'd probably follow the instructions (as your doing) only thing that sticks out in the pics is there's a bit on the page that says "with imoblizer "/ "without imoblizer " in the area your working in . So maybe try to trace if the imoblizer cuts the pump when active and if so where the oe imoblizer breaks the power . So you can maybe by pass it to take it out of the possible fault list .

Scoob got proppa filthy on route to santa pod [emoji30] After my **** nav took me down a dirt track that resembled a harsh rally stage ,complete with water splash and jump over crests ffs . I blame Geoff [emoji39] As I think you jinxed me with your " sat nav's are great untill they take you down a dirt track at national speed limit " comment [emoji23] So today I be mostly..... jet washing the underneath of the car and trying to decide what "advisories" I want the mot tester to put on the scooby this afternoon [emoji15] last year rusty strutts = coilovers [emoji6] . It's got a slightly noisy wheel bearing but otherwise I don't think there's anything else that needs doing in the near future . .....I do fancy some new droplinks so i think I'll get him to add those to the advisory list too [emoji38]

Can't see if it's fubar in the pic ? But if it is I hope it's sorted your lack of fuel fella [emoji106] Nice too meet you both today by the way [emoji41]

Gutted for you fella [emoji57] hope you've caught it early enough not to do too much damage. I had a great day at the pod ,nice to catch up with who I got chance to meet and sorry for not getting chance to chat to everyone. Only thing that miffed me a bit is the 1 time I go to the pod and not have a go at the 1/4 mile. ..... most of the non competitive cars did high 13's to 15's [emoji57] So I really do wish I'd have had a go at it but hey there's always next year [emoji6] Did anyone take any pics ? As I only took 1 pic of a pick up skyline and 1 vid of ghost n stants going down the 1/4 [emoji5]

Sounds like good stuff , can't say I've seen it in the UK though . Don't know if you've ever used colinite 845 to compare it too but it was originally designed for marine use , it's about £20 a bottle and makes my 22yr old roof look hydrophobic. I'm always on the lookout for something different when it comes to most things scooby .

I was looking to try a different wax next year as my bottle of colinite 845 is getting low . Quite like the colinite on my silver classic as it makes the metallic fleck pop nicely and lasts about 2 months (I wash it every week ) . What colour are you using it on, what's the longevity like and will I have to sell 1 of my kids to buy it [emoji5]

Sounds good pete [emoji41] Matt woods (photographer) is always at the pod taking mag pics of the big bhp boys . Both him and the chairman of scooby city do a bit of "feature" work for banzai too . So if the pod are interested I can run it past them at my next local meet , if you like ?

I'm aiming to get there for 830 which means leaving at 630 [emoji15] and travelling down the A14 but I normally pop into Cambridge services for a Mc breakfast on the way [emoji6] So if anyone else is going the same route I'll be in a silver classic, stuffin my face and slurping coffee at Cambridge services about 730 [emoji106]

Yeah I tried that last year , only did 2 runs but spent at least 3 hrs in the queue [emoji30] Maybe we should all go to a rwyb day next year when there isn't a "show" on ? I'm sure that you can book club stands /area's on those as well , so we can still all park together [emoji6]

Looks like it's going to be quite wet at the pod today but dry tomorrow , according to the forecast. I dare say that will mean the 1/4 mile queue will be busy on Sunday [emoji57] . So I'll probably give the 1/4 a miss and actually catch some of the "show " instead this time [emoji6]

Had a Audi /bmw driving experience in the scoob. ...... As my indicators decided to stop working on the way back from the shell garage [emoji16] . Luckily enough I managed to get home via a route that only consisted of left hand turns [emoji23]. Only to find my jdm fuse box diagram is (strangely ) in Japanese [emoji55] . Found my old UK turbo's fuse box lid and it's sorted now [emoji6] .

That does seem a bit low and hot for this time of year but I can only compare it to 2ltr . Which has a cool running rcm stat, rcm oil pump and thicker 10 60 nano drive oil ,so not a very good comparison tbh . Mine is 2.8 bar hot idle (95°) 7bar cold start . But yours being a 2.5 ltr engine (avecs ?) And probably having a vf turbo banjo bolt (restricts the oil a bit ) would probably read different. I'd check the old oil and cut open the filter to look for debris when changing it . Hopefully someone who has a gauge on their 2.5 or knows what the standard 2.5 pressures should be will chip in .
