  1. As Stants said really. Chances are it might not have been remapped or someone has played around with the actuator then claiming it to be mapped. I know a guy near me who does that it's ok I don't speak with him or have anything to do with people like that :)
  2. Haha Hi mate welcome to S.O.C ;) but at least unlike the french you tried before giving up like the car did :D
  3. Blacksmith's Arms Hillrise Rothwell Tuesday 15th July 6pm-9pm 2014 Google Map http://www.blacksmiths-rothwell.co.uk/ Right guys and gals I've finally managed to get a place sorted and think it should be a great place for a monthly meet. It's taken me awhile lot's of driving around and ringing people up and knockbacks :) But it's happening now so would be great if we can get as many people going as possible and as many types of Subaru. More so when I was speaking to the owner and he told me a Porsche Club is starting a meet up there in July too So it's now a personal duell to out beat them As always rules will apply. And hope to see some members there :D Meeting Rules 1. No idiotic driving on the roads surrounding the Meeting. 2. No leaving litter. 3. Do not partake in any other idiotic behaviour. 4. Have fun and meet fellow Subaru owners. Thank you to the owner and staff at the Blacksmith's Arms. And hopefully be able to update the picture with Subaru cars :D
  4. I know mine need doing again but I think I will send them away to be done :)
  5. Some freaks about . I'd have been tempted to have hidden in the bushes myself wait till he started to run to catch up and crack the prick one. Surprised the dogs didn't growl at him :(
  6. It does look smart doesn't it. Wish the Imps had more plastic that it could be done too :)
  7. No problem fingers crossed :)
  8. I would have to say you will need to take his word for it mate. did it not have a read out or anything when the remap was done ?
  9. Some places will check them for free and bill you for the work. But I agree just to read the codes I would do it myself 1st :)
  10. I wonder if it went to a gauge maybe runs under the alternator to the oil pressure sensor
  11. Ouch Well worth trying out insurance Dan on here can help if need be http://bit.ly/1e53Kdg hopefully might be a bit cheaper
  12. Very nice should have a look at Boots car he's had that Hydro dipped in carbon looks amazing http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/5063-carbon-engine-cover-japfest-prep-started/
  13. Yes mate its pretty easy to get the speedo cluster out. On'y problem you might have is the length ...... of the wire :) Just unclips from the top might be 3 if memory serves me right, and then removes easy enough all being well.
  14. Nice another little project for you but after the sports I'm sure this will be a breeze for you :) We have the project thread section now mate so as you know feel free to get one started. And they do accelerate nice don't they :D
  15. They do make me laugh these guys :) Did your Mx5 come with a hair dryer ? ;) Now wheres my black paint :)
  16. Just slammed this up mate http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/7546-ecu-light-fix-decat/
  17. ECU light fixes are described below to address the P0546 ECU codes. 2.2K ohm from Maplins best place less than a £1 Or you could get one of these http://www.haywardandscott.com/cell-fix.html This is a great way as a temporary fix. But to get the full benefits for it a Remap is the only true way. Some modern newages also seem to know when it's trying to be tricked and will still sling the ECU light on. There shouldn't be a need to reset the ECU it might take upto 8 starts to go out when the ECU has learned. If you're more technical minded read on. The Newage Subaru Impreza WRX ECU has a table of all DTCs (fault codes) by their numeric value. If you replace one of these with a different numeric value, the code is effectively turned off. This article assumes you are familiar with reading and reflashing ECUs and have already downloaded your ECU image. Perhaps you are looking to defeat the annoying CEL codes after installing an Up-Pipe or Downpipe. If so these are the typical CEL codes you’ll be interested in disabling: P0037 - Rear O2 Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low P0038 - Rear O2 Sensor Heater Control Circuit High P0137 - Rear O2 Sensor Low Voltage P0138 - Rear O2 Sensor High Voltage P0139 - Rear O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold P0545 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Low P0546 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High P1301 - Misfire Detected (High Temperature Exhaust Gas) P1312 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Malfunction P1544 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Too High The recommended way to disable your CEL codes is to use the OpenSource tool called RomRaider. This is described below. Additionally, if your ECU is not yet supported by RomRaider (if not please let them know!) there are also notes on how to do this manually using the HEX Editor function within the Shareware program called EcuEdit ROMRaider ECUEdit ECUEdit is a tool which can take a ECU image and visualise the maps graphically and allow user edits (remaps). Maps are described via one or more configuration files. ROMRAIDER Disabling CEL codes in RomRaider is easy. Open your ROM in RomRaider. With reference to the illustration below, select Diagnostic Trouble Codes from the tree view on left. Within that you’ll find a (large) list of CEL codes. To disable a CEL code, simply click on a CEL code from the tree e.g. P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold and you’ll be presented with an editor. The guys at RomRaider have made this real easy, so all you need to do is uncheck the box to disable it. CEL fix made easy using RomRaider Save your ROM from within RomRaider and now you’re ready to upload your ROM back to your ECU. CEL fix using EcuEdit If your ECU ROM is not supported by RomRaider (described above) then the following, more advanced, procedure may be used to disable CEL codes. Identifying CEL codes within ROM Figure 1 below, illustrates a section of the fault code table from an ECU image dump of a MY03 Impreza 2.0 WRX In the above figure we are only interested in rows with either 03, 04 or 05 in column zero. Starting from the highlighted row 24D0D, column zero indicates if this is a generic OBDII or a Subaru specific fault code (03 or 04 respectively). Column 1 and 2 is the fault code in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format. In this example we are looking at fault code P0420 – Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold. The next row 24D11 is fault code P0442 – EVAP Control System Leak Detected (Small Leak). Disable a fault code In the above figure you will see a number of rows with the values ’05 00 00’. This appears to be Subaru’s way of allowing fault codes to be ignored. To disable a fault code simply replace it with ’05 00 00’ e.g. for P0420 replace ’03 04 20’ with ’05 00 00’. This change has been applied in Figure 2 below. Now the ECU won’t raise a CEL for that. Information Source: OpenECU.org, thanks to Colby and the OpenECU community for making this possible. Disabling other fault codes If you want to disable other DTCs follow Steps 1–2 with one minor change. When you search in Hex Viewer, leave the max count at ‘4′. Put the DTC value you want to disable in the 01 and 02 spot but try two searches. One which has ‘03′ as the value for 00, and one which has ‘04′. If you try this it's at your own risk, if you don't know how to use it you will need to research more on Google. You must remember you are playing around with the ECU. Myself I would use a qualified mapper.
  18. Still time but sooner the better :D
  19. Id have a guess at an 02 sensor code the resistor maybe came out. But is a pure guess I'd take Stanton up on the offer myself. Just because he has sexy legs :D
  20. The TMIC WRX should be good for 340BHP STI for near 400BHP Both could maybe go more BHP in the TMIC but will affect the type of map you have on it.
  21. Cool little App for Tv on your phone :D http://mobdro.com/
  22. Not really mate only thing you can do is keep driving it see how she goes if it's on it's way it will get noticeably worse :( Did it sound like a belt slipping sort of noise ?
  23. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Have a few people on here from your way on. Please feel free to share some picture. Can show all of them if you want we don't mind a good bit of car !Removed! on here :D
  24. It's basically a new clutch as well, as they have to pull it all out :(
  25. Gambit replied to stants's topic in Junk Room
    Funny I was saying earlier how I hate that 2nd advert :D
