2 years now. Only do around 2000 miles a year. He said it might of been caused by bad fueling but I have never put anything but 99 in. We think the damage was already done when I got it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey! Not posted for a while. So I took my car (2004 sti) for a service the weekend just gone, straight away Kev at scoobyclinic came up to me and said “you know that’s running on 3 cylinders don’t you?!” I had no idea it was! Anyway so we did some testing and turns out one of the cylinders is leaking and is now getting a full rebuild and I’m looking at a huge bill [emoji24][emoji17]. So the question for you guys is... do I go down the route of while it’s in bits upgrade certain internal engine parts or? I’m pretty cluesless really. I never imagine I would be in this situation so I am interested to see what you guys think and would do. In the future I can’t see me wanting more than 350hp but you never Know haha anyway any similar experiences, stories or thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it the 5w30 Edge Castrol fully Syn. oil good?
I asked scoobyclinic when I was there a couple of months ago and he said 5w-30 is too thin for my04 sti Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The old oil question
The car is currently pretty much standard with the exception of an aftermarket exhaust and a uprated panel filter if that makes a difference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Going to do an oil change and would https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w50-engine-oil.aspx be a good choice of oil for my 04 Impreza sti Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chasing powerrrr
Hi, I know this kind of thing is often talked about. Maybe too often but hey. So with my 04 sti I would like to be somewhere max 340 BHP. I have a couple of things In my head I am going to do to achieve this figure or somewhere close to hopefully. I am looking at de-cat exhaust Uprated fuel pump Up rated panel filter And that's it to be honest so i was wondering if with those done and the engine being healthy do you think I would achieve this figure and if not what would you think I would be looking at. I don't really want to put a big air Intake or have a FMIC or anything that looks different because I want to keep the car looking as standard as possible because that's how I like it. If it was running at that kind of power or close to with those little mods would it be a "reliable runner" or something you would call "highly tuned" and possibly in reliable to a degree haha. Hope that all makes sense [emoji106][emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick brake query
I did push the pistons what I thought was all the way back. If I took the pads out and pressed the brake pedal the pistons should come out and return all the way in or is that not the case? When I put them in they were very snug but I just thought the calliper would adjust when I started using the brakes. I will take the front pads out again and try and push calliper back in. What's the best way to do this? I have only got the basic tools nothing specialist lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick brake query
Just driven home from my parents and the back disks were fairly cool and the front one were untouchable and I was driving fairly sedate. It's no more than 4 miles from house to house Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick brake query
Hi, just put new disks and pads all round on my STI. I just took it round the block and they are currently catching and preventing the car from free rolling. They are not super tight and the car is driveable but you can hear the pads rubbing and like I say it doesn't roll as freely as it did before I changed them. Just wondering if this is common and will sort them selves out or is something wrong? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ideas needed
What about that studded rubber stuff? It comes in rolls I think? Your gonna have some kind of joints depending on how wide a roll is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not really had the car long enough to know what oil was in it previously but oil was changed about a week ago and the light has been on and off before the oil was changed and after.. it's currently off at the moment and hasn't been on for a couple of days

Ok thanks. What would you recommend cleaning it with? Hopefully I can gain access to it lol. If only my engine was as clean as that 😍
