Tidgy

Anywhere know any good places for gearnobs, gators etc?

I would be more worried about oil temps myself, oil cooler kit (make sure its thermostatically controlled). my old one on my impreza Because the heat from the oil is transferred to the water (modine), controlling the oil temps you'll drop the water temps

http://scoobyclinic.com/performancetuning.htm some info here

Scoobyclinic are right on your doorstep and can supply anything you need. Other thing is are you going to build it yourself or get someone to? not the simplest of engines to build, need to make sure all tolerances are right etc etc (I may be preaching to the choir here but better to say and not need, than not say and need)

get some pics up of the engine bay

welcome, shiney shiney

Is it flashing up any codes when you start the car?

Subtle mate, subtle,,, hahaha

Strange, even at 400 mine didnt after the filter was sorted. although was a hawk to be fair

Is it still running the standard turbo? shouldn't be getting fuel surge till way further up the power level

how long they been on? does look more superficial rather than serious

wish my clutch was that cheap hahahaha

I've seen a few at high millage, Typicly associated with det though

any car can. Failure rate on the 2.5 is just massively high by comparison. I'd want to find the cause before rebuilding. also need to check the block to see if its warped or ovaled etc

Does bugger all mate, not worth the money. Theory sounds good but doesn't do anything in the real world. Casing isn't the issue. Andy forrest was running uprated gear kit in a normal casing for a while with no issues. and that's not exactly subtle treatment it would have received lol Options are uprated gearkit or 6 speed

bummer :(

easiest way is to drop the box form underneath

O sack off the SCG, not needed, ECU controls the boost.

cool, always good when places go out their way to help you.

the hawk wrx is a push clutch as oposed to a pull clutch. or is it other way round? one or tother anyway lol iirc the blob and classic clutch is the same (sure someone will correct if not)

Just to add mine was a pink box ;)

Will have a used excede for sale soon (assuming it passes inspection when it comes off the car), only had about 3k miles on it since it was put in. It's for a classic 5 speed but should in theory fit. Let me know if your interested.

:( Mahle, or omega, later being mega money though. Need to find out what damage has been done to the block and check for any variance in the cylinder.

lol, no Tidgy suspension test drive. You'll be pleased to know the suspension was fine, even the tracking wasnt affected haha

i beg to differ, Hadn't after that,,,,, lol
