Yeah, I know what you're saying, My budget looks like it's going to be 5 grand but I'm not sure what that will get me never had an engine built before.

Aucky- A company called Rev it up sold it originally to the guy I bought it off in 2016 for £18,000 then he owned it for a year and sold it to me for £11,700 I knew I got myself a bargain especially for a 330s model but maybe he knew about this issue but nothing I can do about that now.

Jesse James- Just bad luck mate I don't mind paying for this build to be done but I hope that's the end of it then and this doesn't turn worse.

Unfortunately, it was bought privately I thought the engine would be fine as Subaru put a brand new block in the car back in 2013 and its only done 30,00 miles since. I can never imagine myself going for more than 400bhp as I might want to experience a track but not make it a hobby. I want to go for the forged cylinders rods and closed deck but I will only have the funds from my classic to pay as I've already got a loan out paying off the car!

The work would be easier done at Scooby clinic as the car is already there and I don't want to damage my car further by driving it (I live 180 miles away from SC)

They said to give a call back on Tuesday and tell them what I would like to do.

Back from my visit to Scooby clinic where my car had a cylinder leak test done, turns out one of them is bad and the other three are going that way, in other words, it is Ringland failure that's causing my problems just caught it early on. I was advised to have them all forged to prevent this from happing again this would be around £3,600 plus VAT. I have also been advised to get a closed deck conversion and maybe even steel rods while the engine is out. Just would like to know peoples opinion on this as I'm sure this could mount up and I can only afford to pay what I sell my Classic for.

They kindly let me take a courtesy car for the weekend while I decide so I don't have to further damage mine. If I was to go ahead with the build I would be allowed to keep the courtesy car for the duration. They've been extremely helpful so far. Just unfortunate after only owning the car for 4 weeks!

I was told it had been mapped but I'm not sure, stage 1 ecutek map apparently, the only mods I know the car has is exhaust and HKS dump valve.

johned - I'm open to offers if you are interested 

Cheers for all the reply's lads really helpful :) 

Kershaw-330s Yeah I've just been on the phone with Scooby clinic its abit out the way for me to get there but it I thought it's worth getting looked at by people who know what they are on about. They are going to do a dyno run on it and check the results if it's down on power and running lean as Zi Motorsport said then they will go onto remapping it. I understand what you're saying about the car might not be mapped as it does make sense but I was told it has a stage 1 map when I bought it? I know this could just be lies but everything else the guy said is all genuine so he wouldn't have a reason to make something up.

what do you mean? haha

No codes I've seen no burning oil that I can see or smell and unfortunately there isn't any paperwork from the previous owner on the mapper. Am I right in thinking if I take this to any certified ECUtek mapper they could map the car for me?

I think I need to get it mapped to rule out the map and if it fixes it brilliant but if not I will be worried 

Took my car to Zi Motorsport in Wrexham yesterday for a power run on a rolling road but of course, there was an issue. The car was only producing 329bhp which is low considering it's a 330s and it has a few minor mods. More surprisingly the torque was only 270 as the mapper said the ECU was deliberately holding the power back because of the engine? The timing is pulled out at 5000RPM or over and I have been advised not to drive it harsh. The car is running a bit lean 83-85 at peak power.

The mapper said it is a possible problem with the engine but I personally think this is unlikely as it had a new engine put in by Subaru only 30,000 miles ago. 

The mapper also said it could just be a bad map but he can't get into the ECU as it is an ECUtek system and it needs to be unlocked.

If anyone has any advice on what the problem is or who I could call that would be great as I don't wanna spend money on a mapping session that might not even work. Also is this the best place to post this issue or is there a mapping section on the club site?

Jesse James - The car is going to get mapped on Thursday by Zi motorsport I'm not sure what to expect as it has been mapped before but I like having a printout for the exact figure.

So there is no kind of identification plate to say what number by 330s is?

haha sorry no way, I'm in no rush to sell want a good price for my baby

Subie J - i don't know much about the spoiler as it already had it on when I bought it but I think it's a must have on a hatchback makes it look more aggressive 

Hello guys yeah I love the features the 330 comes with stands out from the others and the look of the car is insane everything been done properly.

how many of these are left on the road? I understand they only made 200 but I expected to see plack identifying which numbe mine is 

In sport # mode the car will pop and bang and even spit the odd flame on high revs I'm just wondering if its doing this naturally or if it has been mapped as I know my old classic did it naturally and it wasn't forced.

Im taking it to get a dyno run next week on my way back down to London from Cumbria so if anyone knows a decent mapper on the way? I take the M6 

Below I have the description and pictures for my old classic Impreza that is currently on sale. I would just like some genuine opinions of how much people think the car is worth. I have spent over 10,000 on it and have receipts to prove it, I know I'm never going to get that back but I am genuinely unsure how much the car is worth with all of its upgrades as seen below.

This is a auction for my prize possession a classic 1994 imported WRX. I bought the car 2 years ago and have spent every minute since perfecting it spending countless time and money on it. Unfortunately it is time to sell as I am going to be getting a house soon and wont be able to afford the costs. The car will be greatly missed and I would like to make sure it goes to someone who will keep it running well and overall take care of it as I have. Below I will go into full detail of the specs of the car and show in pictures how much it has transformed over the past 2 years and no corners have been cut.

Body

The car was originally Silver when I bought it and silver was its original colour from Subaru. When I bought the car I had it repainted 02C World Rally Blue to look more like a iconic Impreza. Under the bonnet, inside the doors, under the boot lid have all been done repainted blue. There are some stone chips on the front splitter. The car is always washed regularly with autoglym products including polishing and waxing recently. Both front and rear number plates are legal and have carbon fibre lettering to add to the look, they also both say “ Subaru Boxing Club” in small underneath. The Windscreen has been replaced only last year so is spotless. Recently fitted new windscreen wipers also. Features rare STI clear tail lights and clear front lights. Underneath the whole car has been undersealed to prevent rust at a later date.

Interior

The interior has been treated to a newer looking set up with Blue STI bucket seats and a matching rear bench and door cards. As you can see on the pictures a lot of the cars interior is carbon fibre dipped this has been done professionally and in great detail and looks perfect exactly like the real thing not like some of the cheap stuff you see. There is a OMP racing steering wheel and a newer looking gearstick with carbon fibre knob and short shifter.

Suspension Tyres and Alloys 

I have fitted BC BR Coilovers which are fully adjustable from soft to hard and ride height. The car has Rota alloys painted in gun metal with Yokohama Semi Slick Tyres all still have good tread on them. 

Brakes

The brakes have been upgraded to the calipers from a 2004 Impreza so it now has 4 pot on the front and 2 pot rear. Full EBC Red stuff pads all round with drilled and grooved discs you feel like you can drive the car fast because it gives you the confidence that you have the right brake set up to stop you safely.

Performance Modifications

The car started life as a WRX with around 230BHP when I first got it Dyno’d but it was my aim to reach 300. The mods below have the car running a safe but powerful professionally mapped 311.8BHP.

. Japspeed Front Mounted Intercooler 

. Japspeed Full exhaust system from turbo back de-cat 3” 

. Japspeed Aluminum lightweight radiator

. 440 Yellow injectors professionally cleaned full flowing (have the receipt to prove it)

. K&N 9” Cone air filter

. RCM upgraded fuel pump

. TD05 turbo (checked by Eurospec to be fully working no damage)

ECU

The car has a Simtek ECU capable of various maps for different power inputs mapped by Steve Simpson who is the creator of the Simtek ECU. He himself personally mapped the car and signed the ECU as proof this was all carried out at ZI motorsport. The car also has two red switches which control the anti lag and launch control. On high revs the Anti lag will spit flames and pop and band extremely loud and good fun! but can be turned on and off by switch.

Security

The car has a Clifford alarm system 650 MK11 fitted which includes a immobilizer which if you come to view I will demonstrate. The system also has a remote start which means 5 minutes before you leave start up the car via the key fob so it can get to the right temperature and remotely turn it off after it has cooled down this is good for the engine and a good show off feature when your car starts itself. The car will also give a single buzz at nosey people looking trough the windows or potential thieves and if the continue to look the alarm will sound.

Other features

I have paperwork receipt proof of all that follows:

. Recently changed 4 NEW coil packs

. NEW Battery only a year ago

. Forge Header tank

. 110% Brighter headlight bulbs

. Rocket cover gasket recently replaced

. Sound proofing in doors and boot.

. Gearbox,Clutch and Diff replaced last year

. New age power steering pump modification done by ZI Motorsport

. STI Spoiler fitted recently

. Wheels recently aligned 

. Oil, coolant and spark plugs all done 

Mileage

The car has done 180,462km which converts to 112,133 miles but the car being 23 years old this is understandable and the car has always been well looked after with regular servicing and Eurospec recently inspected the Cam-belt and all was well the engine runs fine with no bad sounds. 

 Japfest

As shown in one of the pictures the car recently attended Japfest 2017 on show. I still have the show number and pictures of the car on display. The car also features a Japfest sticker in the rear window.

insurance

The car is extremely cheap to insure this is because on the log book and on the DVLA system the car shows up as a Subaru Impreza GL 2.0. This is due to a small amount of WRX being imported wrongly. Try for yourself the insurance is unbelievably cheap and the tax is only £20 per month which is very cheap for a Impreza. The car is officially a WRX import as shown on its engine code.

Overall

Overall the car has been cared for and not driven badly. The engine has always been allowed to warm up and cool down before and after being driven. Im sure there is lots I've forgotten to mention as the car is packed with so many features and this description is long enough already but you wont be disappointed with this Impreza its loud fast and gives the the confidence to drive it how it should be. Any Questions please text me and ask I would be happy to provide more information and pictures. The Car comes with 2 folders worth of history and receipts for all the work carried out.

Yes it's has a lot of money spent on it and I got a bargin!

still got the classic buts it's currently on eBay at the moment. No problems with it just think the hatch is more my style

Hello Subie J thanks 👍🏻 The two tone is a wrap been on for around 2 years to my understanding, Originally silver. 

Not to sure on the power previous owners have really taken good care of the car and I was told it's running 380 now but can't be sure till I get it dyno'd next week

New Car! bought last week enjoying it very much! 330s

The problem

I have posted this problem before but trying again now as I've had it for months now and can't seem to find any help. It's getting really annoying such a simple thing not working. So I have a classic GC8 shape 1994 JDM WRX and the problem is that when I press the lock button on my key fob the car chirps and lights flash which makes it look like its locked when actually only the driver's door locks. It is the same problem if I lock it manually with the key. 

What I have done so far to try and fix the problem

Many people suggested that the central locking control box located under the passenger footwell could be faulty so I went ahead and had a look at it and inside the box around the connectors had corrosion and on the connectors of the wiring. So I got a working replacement box and replaced the connectors on the wiring and still no luck however when i plugged this in it did make a locking noise happen but the doors didn't actually lock.

I have checked all the fuses both under the drivers footwell and under the bonnet.

As far as I have looked I cant seem any obvious damage to anything within the door.

Any help would be much appreciated

I will post pictures below of what I am seeing but I'm not to sure what most of it is. If anyone has any advice on what to do next or if there is another group on here anyone could suggest to help me out that would be great.

Mate wants to know weather to go for the blobeye 2.0 sti or hawkeye 2.5 sti?

My Blitz dump valve has seized up for the third time now so I'm going to go ahead and buy a forge one as I've heard hks don't make them for the classics anymore.

The problem is can I have a forge one without having it mounted on the intercooler as mine is front mounted?

my blitz one is currently coming from the tube that leads to the intercooler
