some one told me today to remove the cat and ram a broom handle into it and then tap with a rubber hammer around the cat and all the inards will come out and then it will be hollow. replace cat and car will sound better now this sounds funny but has anyone ever done it ?

ok guys as im working yet again today late shift again i been outside working on my car since 7.30am just come back in i removed the airfilter box from near the arch took away that resonator box and had a pipe going to my air sensor and my cone attached to my air sensor guess what no difference in sound really just more of a hollow grrrrrr with a bit of whine so i removed all again and reverted back to standard setup and sounds better than the whine and hollow sound maybe perhaps its the wrong type of cone i have i dont know but cheers for help guys

been told the black box connected to my throttle body is a helmholtz resonator whatever that is

sorry guys just got in from work cheers for info

i know you wasnt having a go i was just being a bit thick got to go work in a min see if i have this right so i can remove all and get a pipe to go to my air sensor then to my cone and get rid of that box connected to my throttle body

yeah but mine as you can see i have my cone fitted and removed airbox near wheel arch but i wanna know what is the box connected to my throttle body going to the air sensor please

sorry i forgot the name i did know i did not have a carb throttle body thats the 1 lol told you im new to this anyway my pics of my car the black box connected to throttle body i am on about and the pipe going to the air sensor i do know i deffo need the air sensor inline some were as car wont run proper without

here is a pic of mine

ok my adapter arrived this morning couldn't wait to fit it went to her removed the cone filter and put her airbox back on, she wasn't happy lol removed from pack and guess what it wouldn't fit it was bigger than what i needed and bolt holes were not in line so i removed Air sensor and took inside house and drilled new holes in adapter and now it fits lol no difference in sound only now it sounds like a turbine on startup and when i turn ignition off sounds like turbine slowing down not had time to take it for a spin yet as i got work soon till late grrrrr can i ask maybe a stupid question to some of you but my mates 1996 scooby like mine does not have the black plastic box connected to carb like mine. his has a black pipe that goes straight to air sensor then to airbox and his sounds better. mine has the black plastic box connected to carb and then a pipe to air sensor then another pipe to airbox why how which ? lol sorry that aint a pic of mine as camera on charge but i guess you all know what i mean

these are our other cars mine is the astra coupe with full irmsher kit on it also wheels just fitted a sportex race exhaust to it also. and hers is the puma

This is the 1 i have for the car also oil breather filter to go with it but at the moment while i wasit for the adapter my mrs pinched it and has it on her ford puma lol

i only have 1 day off work every week and i pray for nice weather i am on holiday in a few weeks for a whole week, so hope to get loads done then

well another day off from work and a little bit more work done on my car, just the doors to do now but got side tracked by a mate wanting his dented wing sorting out, had to remove his wing as dent was really bad. but i got a nice set of STI mudflaps off him B)

cheers for that i ordered the one off amazon see what it like when it comes

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Drift-Filter-Adaptor-Plates-1999-01/dp/B006583IC8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1372454310&sr=8-3&keywords=adaptor+plate+subaru i think this is what i need ? anyone confirm please oh and sorry it aint the MAF sensor i got it wrong more like the air sensor that attach's to the airbox

ok may be a daft question to all here, but i'm new to scoobys i wanna fit a cone filter to my car but cos of the MAF sensor bolted to the airbox how would i go about this please anyone ?

yeah mirrors getting done also when i get round to it never have enough time to do the car

day off from work today, so thought i would do a little more work on the scooby removed lights indicators etc... fixed all dents ans scratch's then primed gave the bonnet another going over while i was there. just roof and sides to do now

No i'm don't do spraying for a living. the reason i am going white, is that over here i have only seen 1 white scooby and all the others are either red blue green or blue, so i wanted different also i have this decal set ready to go on car when sprayed ( pic of decal set i got below ) i never have enough time to do bits to car i just do when i can, thats why its being done in stages next to be done is roof. white paint has been ordered already though. the exhaust makes a big difference in sound and looks.

fitted new STI exhaust today and finished off priming boot and spoiler and bumper. been busy at work so not much done.

lol its not red and white red is original colour and what you think is white is primer the whole car is gonna get primed and then sprayed white thanks for the comments
