Sad Goodbye To My Wrx.......

[scooby222]

not sure if the arb will swap off of your wrx due to the wider track,id check before you start crawling under it...

bet you cant wait,theyre tremendous cars mate, and the springs are yours for £80 complete with spare set of shocks,done about 10k miles

Baz,your sti will have trackstar on it unless its an import-you should have got the documents with it,if not ring trackstar with the number etc to get it reactivated

Oh my freekin god. I thought my WRX was pretty fast until tonight when i drove my STI home, its a fookin animal am still smiling thinking about it.

Got a couple of questions though 1) does it have to be V Power or similar? 2) If i put the dif thingy to 0 is that rear wheel drive and 3) whats with the red light flashing when i get near 6k revs?

1) V power is best, think you must actually, I never use anything else

2) never been able to feel much effect of the diff

3) rev limit - adjustable on the dash - never rev mine to that as I don't need to

1) Yes, it has to be super unleaded or the ECU warning light may come on, which I guess implies possible engine damage if regular unleaded is used routinely.

2) Not quite (unfortunately?). The brief technical explanation is: If you set the DCCD to 'manual' and roll the dial back to 'O', then the centre diff is fully open (i.e. no limited-slip lock-up) and the F:R torque split will be the diff's mechanical default, which for you car I believe is 41:59 (earlier STIs I think were 35:65). In simple terms, using the mode you describe will give you the most rear-biased setup. I usually use 'Auto' in the wet and 'Manual, fully' open in the dry

3) That's the user-configurable rev limit warning. You can set the point at which this is activated by turning the ignition on and twisting left and right that stalk that protrudes from the dash. In my car the rev counter needle will move around to show the current setting, but I think earlier STIs might've had a different method of indicating that (via the LCD odometer display or summat).

I bought this car new from S&S in Ayr. P/Ex it for a Spec D in March 07 at Town & County in Aberdeen. Never used on the track etc, no visits to the bodyshop
