Fee Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Adam had a wee trip down south today and put a deposit down on an impreza... will hopefully pick it up next week once its Registered/MOT'd and taxed some of the spec... TEIN Coilovers CUSCO ARB's and braces from what I can see - poss drop links too Greddy FMIC Greddy Hardpipes Unknown induction kit Uprated fuel pump HKS hyper exhaust uprated headers (said to be equal length but not convinced) SARD boost guage Turbo Timer Adjustable rear wing gay wing mirrors 17" Advans.... one is dented though :/ Interior is pretty clean - to sell Exterior is straight but has a few flat bits of paintwork. Who cares plans are to use it as a track car for Adam so that the skyline stays in one piece for me for Time Attack this year Strip it of weight then get it track ready on a budget Fee Link to comment

dan_jess Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Nice car. Jap performance uk seem to have a few cars in stock at the moment at good prices. Would be interested to know more about the cars they have, if you had a look around that is? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?d=1633 Link to comment
Fee Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 I didnt go down...Adam said a lot of the cars advertised are sold now (I think) We have the skyline...it was found about a month after it was stolen with very minimal damage luckily Link to comment
thefastone Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thats lucky then. Just crap that it got stolen in the first place! Hope you have more luck with this one! Link to comment

Fee Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 use it as is just now - see what needs the most attention LOL I'll get the oil changed and then see if Russ can pop it on the rollers for a wee healthcheck. Immediate plans (once funds allow!) are uprated brakes, 888/slicks. I'll have to see what the TEINS are like on it. Couldnt see the stickers to see the model. Hopefully they are decent Anyone needing interior parts? Link to comment

Fee Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 i'll get it sorted out once we have buckets/mounts/harnesses Link to comment
thewelsho Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nice one, welcome back and hopefully lessons learned and no selling this time! Good luck. Link to comment
Fee Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 got it home now... had a wee run to go get dinner. Seems fine.... a wee noise around 3-4krpm that wasnt there last week. Not sure what it is but it just sounds like something rattling. also got some spares... 6 speedlines, 2 fog light covers and a steering wheel boss. Just need a nice steering wheel to go with it now .... Link to comment
Fee Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Righto... Stripped the boot out - Spare wheel, all trim, Rear wiper etc - a good 20kg perhaps Stripped the AirCon out, bar the rad - maybe 15kg saved. Done some poking around... Its running a SARD ECU, and hitting 1.5bar in 5th... would have been a fair amount of load on the as it was uphill. Hitting 1.0bar in 3rd on flat. Pitty no one took up that £10 bet Coilovers are TEIN Sport Spec Type HR's - Cant see any listings for them on the TEIN site... but they dont 'feel' great for track work. Its running aftermarket headers, BUT standard down pipe and frot pipe with BOTH cats still seemingly inplace. I'm sure the rattly noise is an exhaust gasket or heatshield. Whilst on the rollers there didnt seem to be any DET or untoward knocking. It ran 274bhp and 227lb/ft... boost peaked around 19.5psi and fueling was quite rich, or safe enough. pics of todays pish.... will scan the plots when in a bit. Big thanks to Russ at WP for fitting me in this afternoon. RR Graphs Edited January 16, 2009 by Fee Link to comment
thewelsho Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Stunning looking car, nice write up, cool pics and I'd say impressive graphs if i had a clue what they meant! Nice one Link to comment
Fee Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 its down on power and esp torque.... for what I'd expect at 1.4bar. BUT... found some problems today that could explain that... and the ticking noise... Exhaust manifold (drivers side) was missing a stud and blowing. Hole in OE exhaust hiding behind the heatshield!!
