shibby! Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hey guys. From what i gather this car used to belong to a member on here, Mike Smith.... well thats what i can see from a few receipts! Apparenlty he traded the last owner for his Merc. Anyway this is the spec that was advertised. Plenty receipts to go with it.... No idea whats on it! Lots seems to have been swapped and replaced! There is a boost issue which is confusing me, as after the conversion i have no idea if it is still running the Power FC. I would assume it would, but there is no recept for mapping after the conversion. Just before! Anyone know the car? Engine: 2.5 usdm short motor with forged internals and sti 5 heads Full rebuild with every seal replaced (15k since build) 85000 miles total done by KR performance Uprated oil pump Full service history Andy Forest 20g td05 Nismo 740cc injectors Uneaqual stainless headers Full 3" turbo back Apexi N spec exhaust Fully heat wrapped open mouth downpipe Lightened and balanced flywheel Re-built gearbox Short throw shifter Hks Front mount + hard pipes K+n intake SX fuel regulator Samco intake HKS SSQV blow off Walbro fuel pump Oil catch tank 3 port boost solenoid Apexi ecu with commander mapped by Andy Forest Detailed engine bay Chassis: 18" Lightweight Compomotive Alloys new tyres Full poly bush kit Cusco rear LSD STI 6 gas struts with Eibach springs Ap racing 4 pot brakes with pagid blue pads (new) Underside H brace Cusco Rear strut brace Std carbon fibre front brace Whiteline antiroll bars with solid links Fully undersealed Interior: Tracker fitted Cat 1 alarm and immobiliser Full set of Defi gauges, boost, oil pres and temp, with control box Profesional lambda meter fitted in heater vent Std STI 5 interior in perfect condition STI pedals Momo steering wheel Double din Cd player Exterior: 406 silver fully color coded STI 5 rear spoiler STI rear lights with custom fog light fitted Cristal headlights Clear side lights and repeaters Alloy bonnet STI Fog lamp covers Apparenlty 405bhp from the advert Having a few issues with it... which i will start a new topic for in technical.. just boosting issues and boosting too high which is cut from Power Fc i reckon.

TPS_SCOOBY_2 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Shibby Nice spec mate, the mother in law stays just in front of yours at Trenchard Place, you may see the the 08 WRX there from time to time. Best of luck getting the car smooth. Link to comment
mystery machine Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Don't known anything of its history, but that's a jaw-dropping classic, mate Hope you can sort out those running problems soon. Link to comment
ANDYJDMSTI Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Lovely car. put the symptoms for the issues on here.............there are plenty of people who would have a good idea of where to start diagnosis! Link to comment

RA Dunk Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Are those wheels the same as paul555sti but in gun metal? nope Link to comment
dan_jess Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 There the original Compomotive MO wheels. I sold a set to Gordon Shek a while ago and wish i had kept them now! Car is lovely, im sure i have a picture of it on the computer at home from Crail around 2005 Link to comment
RS Grant Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 ........the Civic TypeR didn't last long then mate?! Hope you get it running well, cause that will go like a missile with the spec list. Might be worth booking it in with Andy for a check-over and make sure its all mapped properly and safely?? Cheers, Grant Link to comment
shibby! Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Cheers for the comments. Yeah the Type R sucked. had it a week and a half. Then did a straight swap for the Subaru. I am trying to get in contact with Andy right now, just regarding if he mapped it after the 2.5 conversion, He defo mapped it with the Power Fc controling the boost. Hoping to try a few things and see if they work. Then if no luck get it booked in to Andy, from what i understand he is super busy. The car is defo not running lean anyway There is an air fuel meter in the car, and it hitting the right points. Yup the car is down at Trenchard place. I dont actually live there, i live over the road, but i park my car in the carpark beside my bike. So that if the bike falls it falls into my car and not someone elses. From looking at the history the car used to be around my area, then went up to Perth area and is now back down. I have tried to call the previous owner when it was in my area about a few things, just really timing on receipt. Waiting on him getting back to me. Cheers Nick Link to comment
TPS_SCOOBY_2 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 sneaked round for a look this evening great looking car. Did I also pass you close to Mossmorren at about 8.45 this morn? I was in the works Leon so never waved. Link to comment
shibby! Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Thanks mate, Yeah that was it, i had it out to play with the boost and see what was happening. Turns out being out playing at that time of the morning was a stupid idea! too many cars around. Nick Link to comment
