  1. 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/
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. They do make me laugh these guys :) Did your Mx5 come with a hair dryer ? ;) Now wheres my black paint :)
  5. Just slammed this up mate http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/7546-ecu-light-fix-decat/
  6. 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.
  7. Still time but sooner the better :D
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. Cool little App for Tv on your phone :D http://mobdro.com/
  11. 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 ?
  12. 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
  13. It's basically a new clutch as well, as they have to pull it all out :(
  14. Gambit

    world cup !

    Funny I was saying earlier how I hate that 2nd advert :D
  15. Throw out bearing I think they call it by the sounds of it. If it is it will get worse :( have you tried to pull off with the hand brake o slowly until it grabs see if it squeals again ?
  16. Yep they look like the ones mate :) Person who sold it might have removed it which is a bit naughty. Might be worth having a look :(
  17. Gambit

    world cup !

    Again media never helps with anything like that. It's like Joey Barton I can't stand that dirty boring ****** But on other news them Gerry's looking good for it :)
  18. Gambit

    world cup !

    Is'nt that just about every footballer :D I agree They keep going on about Gerrard or Rooney being world class. Bull Sh@t world class do it every week and win games every now and again doing something that's maybe a little special with a 40 yard screamer or a great pass across a field doesn't make you world class. I know some people have said they're getting too old now Rooneys 28 Gerrards maybe at the point of being over the hill for the game or border line but I still think they're our best two players and still needed to help the younger ones like 12 year old Sterling even if they was moved to benchwarmers I think they still need to be in the team. Lets face it look at Italys team I would have said they was old :D I would also blame the media they always look for someone to blame and everyone seems to go with it like Beckham. I just think Rooneys turn this time round. I still think we will get through but lose the 1st game game after group stages. Despite my comment on facebook about having a new Captain next week called Roger Smith.. He's the pilot on the return flight.
  19. Was about 1pm Silver Legacy estate CB aerial on it :)
  20. I think it will be the Hospital has said they can't do anymore now and he's ok to go. But have a feeling it's still not good news I thought they would have made more of it if he was pulling through :(
  21. Update Michael Schumacher is no longer in coma and has left Grenoble Hospital, his manager has announced. Schumacher has been a patient at the hospital for over five months following a skiing accident at the end of December in which he suffered severe head injuries. Schumacher's life is believed to have been saved by the helmet he was wearing at the time of the accident, which split in two upon impact. It was announced at the end of January that the 'waking up progress' had begun in Schumacher's treatment, but a paucity of updates since then has prompted growing fears about his condition and hopes of a recovery. However, in a heartening and unexpected announcement, it's been revealed that Schumacher is no longer in a coma at the hospital in the south of France and has been moved to an undisclosed location. 'Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore,' a statement, released on Monday morning, read. The news that the seven-times World Champion has left the facility is the first official update on the German's condition since April when it was reported that Schumacher was showing signs of 'consciousness and awakening'. No fresh details about Michael's condition have been supplied, with the latest statement adding: 'For the future we ask for understanding that his future rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye.' The statement in full 'Michael has left the CHU Grenoble to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore. His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months. The family also wishes to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes to Michael. We are sure it helped him. For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye.' More to follow... Hopefully be followed up with some more good news. And not that he's still in a vegetable state
  22. Sorry mate should have just said you get used to just using abbreviations of the names just automaticly think people know what you mean :) I'm not too sure on the size sorry and cleaning doesn't always help. Well I've had it before the MAF ( <I will use it now :) ) problem tried to clean the 1st one didn't help at all their very sensitive. If someone has used a filter like a K&N oiled reusable filter thats enough to kill one so if it is that check the air filter too. Anyway so I got a 2nd hand one of ebay same problem bought another dead MAF :( This was all without any ECU light on so was guessed. Bought another one not cheap :( and like magic it worked :) Other things that can course it though is any split or broken lose pipes would need a water spray and carefully go around the rubber hoses. Spark Plugs and coil packs or the leads if they have gone will be rough idle too.
  23. I have that same problem the Swallows make nests every year in the out building where I live I kid you not twice when washing the car did I have 2 bird ****'s to clean off the roof before I had even finished :(
  24. Great video. Loved watching the body work being done :)
  25. It was the free road tax I 1st spotted. but does look ace, if I could I would :)
