    If you bought it from a garage then you DO have recourse to take it back and get them to repair it, although i would be pushing for your money back as i doubt they will pay for a full build. Would be my first port of call.

    what does the vin plate say? Odd coloured ones do pop up now and again
  4. Tidgy
    hmm, tough choice. nah, easy one, bring on the powaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! hahaha
  5. Tidgy
    pmsl, i like your thinking

    always eliminate leaks first just in case, also do a sniff test before you start on the engine, should tell you if the gaskets gone or not

    Go through and check all the hoses first, 50ml every 400 miles won't be very obvious, look for dried coolant residue

    That's interesting, check out 06-07 sti vs 08, sti in 06-07 was highest bracket, hatch dropped to one below. 06/07 STI - C02 = 257 08 STI - C02 = 243 08 STI 330s - C02 = 270-281

    welcome. Have to say im not familiar with Aussy models, so whats a CS9? get some pics up :)
  10. Tidgy
    yeah different setup. doesnt meaa one of them might not be duff though
  11. Tidgy
    rally? ouch, never knew it went higher. bummer
  12. Tidgy
    Won't always throw up codes, that's why you need a specialist. My car had a misfire but no codes and turned out to be a duff leed.
  13. Tidgy
    ah k, something has changed them, could be crank sensor but could be alot of other things :( Can you get it to a specialist for a diagnosis? (and i dont just mean computer says jobbie)
  14. Tidgy
    how has the boost been turned up?
  15. Tidgy
    TBH im not actualy sure, had it done to my volvo and it then blew up a month later. Did seem to run better after though to be fair, that was a diesel. Theres some debate about if its worth it on a subaru engine. Due to the way they work they are less susceptible to build up due to the design of them, especially if you run Vpower with the cleaning agents in it. Im not aware of anyone who has done a true back to back to find out actualy what difference it makes.
  16. Tidgy
    Sounds like it Needs a good once over with a specialist. Could be the exhaust is causing the fueling issues and 2as never mapped for it, or it could be fuel pump is on its way out etc etc. Need to get it looked at by someone who knows what they are doing
  17. Tidgy
    was already in the highest band iirc so made no difference.
  18. Tidgy
    Yeah get it checked out, but from what you describe doesnt sound good. Did you buy it private or from a garage?
  19. Tidgy
    Catalunya was a UK only car so would have been the full inventory in the UK. Type r was jap only and special order in Japan but no limit on how many. Made to order just refers to they were only built when they had a customer, it wasn't a limited edition as such.
  20. Tidgy
    By nock do you mean from in the engine itself or something like a mount? If it's engine nock at low revs could be crank bearings, just depends.
  21. Tidgy
    Depends who you ask, to me P1 is a watered down type r, so IMO Type r is a much better car.
  22. Tidgy
    If its not been mapped for the mods could well be causing the issue
  23. Tidgy
    yeah its proven to be not very accurate unfortunately.
  24. Tidgy
    type-ra may have the info but no idea if theres anyway to actualy tell
  25. Tidgy
    not sure what specialists are up your way unfortunately, hopefully someone else can help
