  1. Looking to get some new disc's front and back for my classic sti. Are EBC Ultimax any good?
  2. The blitz exhaust wasn't a success, turns out that the system on the car at the moment doesn't break at the same location as standard. So have sold the exhaust, got what I paid so all good. Bought some alloys which should come shortly. Gone with BK 333's
  3. Yeah £800 including tyres what about these?
  4. Well the car has been sitting at home for a wee while without me as my work has had me in Singapore Since November. Had people starting her up and taking it for a spin. While I have been away bought a pioneer double din stereo, upgraded the front speakers and bought a Blitz Nur Spec R cat back system. All waiting to go on when I return at the end of the month Now looking for some nice alloys to replace the current ones which i'm going to keep for my winter set
  5. When I bought my STI it came with winter tyres and some scruffy looking alloys I want to take this opportunity to get a new set for the summer season coming up I have around £800 to spare for a set, can anyone give me an idea of what looks good on a silver classic for that price? My consider 2nd had also if anyone knows of a good set going
  6. I have ordered some new silicon vacuum pipe. Just going to replace them all Also putting it in to a guy who lives close at the end of a month to have a good run over it. He knows his impreza's so hopefully get to the bottom of everything
  7. I am looking to replace my vacuum pipe that goes from the dump valve back to the manifold There are various different sizes in mm What is the best size to go for?
  8. Just thinking This wont work will it because I have a Alcatek ecu How do you then look for faults in the system
  9. Right just plugged the black plugs together and I get nothing seems to happen I connected the black plugs Then turned the ignition to on I then have to press my immobiliser for the lights to come on When I do that the car just does its normal Check engine light just stays lit Am I doing something wrong because there is 100% issues with the car somewhere :(
  10. Me too Gambit :D
  11. Exact same colour I had :) I just recently bought my sti but I was actually also looking at the S13 but its expensive for a good one
  12. I just wanted to know what exactly they had done to the car more than anything else I will be replacing the FMIC soon anyway would be handy if that was the problem :) Will also replace the DV at the same time
  13. Welcome Of all my cars the 200sx is probably one of my favourites, great car :) 325bhp would have made it a beast too
  14. Sent an email to the company who mapped the car, they have come back with this: Martyn would very likely have some stored data on the car, although it may not have much bearing on the way it is right now. Mapping is unequivocal, in that any settings are going to stay the way we left them in terms of relative output. I can only assume it was ok previously, or the man would have been back for another go! Any mapping can only be long term successful if everything associated with the car’s management system remains in good order. The Alcatek has full closed loop idle control and should stay where it’s put. A few examples of failures leading to idle problems; Air leaks from gaskets or hoses MAP sensor faults Throttle pot faults Lambda sensor faults Idle valves sticking Wiring issues Leaking injectors or injector seals Etc.. There have also been rare instances of track failures from the ECUs. You have a couple of choices to deal with it, either bring to us or take it to another person to check it out. If anyone else wants to map the car they can do so, but they need to obtain the codes from Alcatek to allow it, then they have to set it up from scratch. (This isn’t our doing, incidentally)
  15. Also just had another look and the MAF isn't even plugged in. Surely that's not right?
