  1. 2 seconds on start up?  Chances are its just water/condensation in the exhaust.  It would be smoking for longer if there was any form of problem I'd expect.  Also check your oil and coolant levels and keep note of the levels over a week or two see if they change.

  2. Still put me off owning one for life. It's one car I don't think anyone could try and sell me I'd rather have a Type-R or an Audi A3 and that's saying something  :lol:

    And agree it has to be GTR and I know what you mean they are massive cars and old. So STI it is then ;)

     

    Hell no, def not a honda or a german motor for me.  I prefer the power to be there without nailing the car... which is where my WRX is actually really good... shouldn't sell it really but a change is calling to me lol.  To get a standard WRX to this level would cost someone a fair bit more than buying one standard and modifying it.  Especially with the coilovers and standard of map.

  3. Theres a bit of difference between the Rx7 and Rx8, The Rx7 outdoes the other in every way. Light small motors with plenty of power ;)

    I've had a R33 Gts-t before and it was a great car but think I'd only go for a Gtr now. Excellent build quality but they are big old motors lol. Whereas an Sti impreza could still be thrown about down the lanes and with some light tuning be pushing 340bhp.

  4. Hi All, I've got my WRX up for sale 

     

    It's got a quite a few decent and choice mods including Sti interior, a GB270 spoiler and the car has been remapped by TD racing to 285bhp.  In fact it matched a 300bhp Evo8 the other day so the power is certainly there.

     

    The vehicle has BC coilovers and they have been set up brilliantly and are not too hard a ride. The only downside to the car is that its now on 100k mileage but it has full service history and has been well maintained by the previous 2 owners. This is the thread on piston heads should anyone be interested.  The price is set at £4500

  5. What model impreza do you have?  If it's a classic then probably best going for a front mount but then.. the classics are limited on what the standard build engine can put out anyway so may as well have a top mount lol.  A new age is good for 350+ bhp with the Sti top mount.  

  6. The issue with trying to keep older parts is that bolts and nuts rust and can be a pain in the butt.  It depends what you want to do with the car.  Do you want more power later or is it just to make a little noise?  

     

    If you want power, you'll need to decat the system or invest in a sports cat... personally I've never seen the point in the expense of one.  

    If you just want some noise, I'd just get a cat back exhaust, decent air filter and leave it at that.  

  7. I'm qualified and specialise in recovery from brain injury , doing physio and speech therapy , so long hours and sleepless nights :) also a qualified hairdresser , but gave that up a longtime ago

    My head hurts..... lots lol ;)

  8. Not really, the fuels these days are that thin and full of additives that you shouldnt really need it.  Try cleaning the maf sensor just in case?  I know they can be a bit 'finiky' at times.  

    It's not going to be idle control as thats when your coming to a stop rather than accelerating. So as far as we know, ignition is ok, air is ok... just fuel really left to check.

     

    On another note when was the last time the fuel filter was changed?  Just thinking if its a little clogged up then on low demand it may not flow enough to supply correctly.
