After the disaster of my WRX I have eventually got myself another scoob YEEHAA! Will post up pics when I eventually get round to taking some lol.

 

Its a WRX Type RA with only 26k on the clock.. I'm am a very happy bunny and just need to start saving to get some mods done now. And soooo looking forward to the March run too now.

Thanks Gus, really enjoying driving this one. Need to top up the i/c water spray before hand and not really sure what it needs topped up with tbh and also this may seem stupid but when is it required? (sorry but Jamis's uk scoob and my last wrx didn't have this on)

Hazel, just tap water!!!!

It helps with (or is meant to!) when the car has been driven hard (or long) to assist with cooling the intercooler. (water is sprayed over the fins!) The temperature of the air that then passes from the intercooler into the induction system is meant to be reduced .

So when you have been giving it some serious wellie on the run give it a quick blast.

Hope this helps

I don't want to sound like a geek [8-|] but it is  best to give the 'cooler a wetting just before a bit of welly , as the evaporation of the water by the airflow will actually draw a lot more heat from the 'cooler than airflow alone and thus preventing too much heat from building up

. . . . . . Rather than using the water to remove heat once it has built up .

I hope that makes sense [*-)]
