  1. Hi, I've sort of replied in the new members section, but it's all good ☺ you'll need to get the gearbox code off the vin plate to at least work out what ratios it's running, would make life a lot easier if you could find a manual with the same ones as would involve less work in the long run
  2. Hello &welcome, It's a lot of work fo do the swap, but if you have the time and money can't see it being too difficult, you'd have to replace everything at a guess, rear diff & hubs as well as jdm ratios are different to uk cars, not sure if the gearbox cradle is different, there's also a separate ecu for the auto's so I don't know if you can just unplug it from the main one without problems, if you can't then it's another ecu and remap on top, The type 2's are rare so i'd keep it as an auto if your into having 'originality'
  3. I'm going to aim to get to one or if not both japshow's Which ones at castle coombe ? local ish to me so that or mod nats Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
  4. I can't answer that I'm afraid as mine doesn't have a rad cap, presume so but wouldn't like to say
  5. The overflow should only be at max when hot, maybe it's too full and is just having a little wee ?
  6. Sorry I've altered my post should read 130k haha. Everyone has third own views on mappers I used Duncan and I'm happy as have other people here. Best off dropping him an email to see what he advises, you will probit ally need to replace the fuel pump for an uprated unit to avoid leaning off under increased boost
  7. I'm. On android so can't really say the developer is a chap called Ian Hawkins
  8. Ipad won't work with Bluetooth Chinese ebay dongle you'll have to use a wifi one, not sure about ipad software but the torque app is really good again don't know if on Apple store
  9. Hello 55k !that's barely run in ! Most of us are on much more than that my self and ghost were over 130k when we had ours mapped, mines been done more for better running, increase in torque and hp was a bonus but it wasn't my sole aim, stock clutch is good for circa 300bhp so i'd get it done and not really worry too much, the y are robust cars and take to mods reasonably well
  10. Hello, they are a hit of a pain to bleed, easiest way is to lift front end slightly, turn heaters on, run engine with rad cap off and massage the bottom hose, easier with two people as one can watch for air being expelled and top up header if needed, when you think you have all air out pop expansion bottle cap on and let cool, check levels a good few hours later,make sure the overflow is between the two lines on and header & rad are full, I'm assuming you have a header tank not seen a hawk bay recently, If it's the oem subaru rads they have plastic end tanks that crack they are rubbish ! Also check the hoses coming from the header to turbo, sometimes they work loose and you get a bit of leakage
  11. At least the exchange rate is more favourable at the moment, almost killed the saloon a couple years back,
  12. Get !Removed! one night and curl one out on the middle of his lawn see how he likes it ! Repeat nightly till the message has got through
  13. I'd suspect the 'sealant' is 'steel seal' type stuff supposed to 'fix' small cracks in head gaskets, My Bro used it in his punto didn't work taht well he stopped loosing all the water but it put out thick white plumes of exhaust/coolant everywhere he went
  14. Will tamiya have a model kit out by Christmas [emoji23]
  15. 75/90 for the rear diff and as for auto box not sure, opie oils will advise you and they sell a whole range of quality brands
  16. Maybe in other areas the parts aren't as good but all stuff sold here has to be CE marked and 90% of the time tuv passed so they are fit for purpose,
  17. It's on ut's way apparently sure I've seen some motor show pics somewhere
  18. Maybe in ten years, would be circa 40k to get one here this soon at least ! How can you not like the yellow ! Each to their own though !
  19. You need to finish moving house 1st gambit !
  20. Blueprint ones aren't bad, mines a none oem one that's been in 3 years and I haven't had any problems so are
  21. Guess some people may have seen it for those that haven't http://www.pistonheads.com/news/japanese-cars/subaru-confirms-wrx-sti-s207/33184 I'll take mine in yellow if my numbers come up please,
