Sounds about right. My mr2 did that
-
Better off exporting like savage said. Americans will more than likely buy it due to import restrictions. The fact it's being sat around for 4 years with manky fluids in it is gonna put people off. Had I not just been made redundant Dante I might of made an offer
-
Oops quoted wrong post then lol my bad savage
-
Hmm....leaving fluids in for 4 years can cause issues to my knowledge. Valve stem seals are probably gone by now I'd guess ( not expensive) can't hurt to give it a quick once over
-
I assume it's a turbo? And has the fluids been left in the engine like coolant,oil ect?
-
Fair enough to my knowledge all forged engines will make a slapping sound when cold for a few mins. Due to the clearances. Sound will go away once warmed up
-
Someone will be along soon. But it will have a slight piston slap when cold. All forged engines do
-
PPG conversion? As the standard 5 speed wrx boxes are cr*p can hardly handle 220hp of abuse let alone 330. IIRC anyway
-
What gearbox does it have?
-
I posted something like this last year. I was lucky to find one on eBay. There is a member in here who has a few spares lying around as I bought the door cables off him..Can't remember his name though
-
Friend of mine imported a rx7 last year. He just paid an import company. They registered it for him and put an mot on it. Will ask him about costs ect later
-
I had a issue with my immobiliser transponder in the key last year. Probably a long shot but can't hurt. Mind you my key was knackerd
-
I think it should bolt in. The ecu however wiring it up could prove a PITA. Same thing happened to my audi ages ago but that's another story
-
Reminds me of a bloke that used to come in to where I used to work. Looked like someone from emmerdale and you could smell odor about 20 ft away lol
-
Hi CO emissions (Failed MOT) and what look like high fuel trims
Buggyeye replied to Shifty's topic in General Subaru Chat
Burning oil maybe? Could be wrong can't remember but it rings a bell -
Im with stants. Cool idea but not my cup of tea. Used to own a astra van with a vxr engine got boring after a while.
-
What fuel you running it on out of interest?
-
Leftover oil in the exhaust for the smell? As for the running issues it could be made sensor?
-
Not sure on that. A blob eye may fit but that's a wild guess.
-
I only replaced mine cause I'm finicky like that. If you can get a decent one and athe a good price then go for it I say
-
I think a few on here have. I haven't heard of it being a danger. Can't remember on the mot side of things but it shouldn't be a danger. Can't hurt to ask around though
-
Can't remember off hand but it's a few bolts on each corner. Been ages since I did mine. I think there is a YouTube video on it somewhere
-
I drove without one for 5 days while one was ordered. Didn't really notice a difference but then I didn't drive hard. Only replaced cause I found a cheap one
-
Scrooby world is pretty good I bought a boost controller and strut brace from there
-
Don't bother with those. They are cheap Chinese junk. Same with the Chinese turbos. I had a hks on mine. Quietish at idle yet loud when you floor it
