Happy Birthday Graeme

Nice 1 ciaran, ace project name too

Rich

Depends on year of block as newer ones tend to be stronger.

Jap or Uk differ too, jap spec's usually being stronger.

Don't think the Sti v5/v6 or P1 block would handle 1.7/1.8 for very long

Your mapper has all the answers and he is best person to keep you right on the safe levels of boost

Rich

Nice car bud, the scoobies always win you over in the end

Are you planning to track it?

Rich

Glad you found one steve, hope its good to you

Will be good to see it in the flesh at a meet sometime

Rich

Its an improvement to the front. Can you get them smoked though as that would look even better on the WR Blue with your dark alloys?

Rich

Some good info on here........if your building a high performance race machine

Greame the wrap will be fine for you and you can do it yourself. The DEI wrap seems to be good stuff and I have it on my headers. Mine were prewrapped when I bought them from harvey smith (scoobynetter) but you can make a good job of it yourself if you take the time to do it. You'll need some proper metal straps or ties to keep the wrap held in place for the long term. There have been threads in the past about wrapping and using sprays, maybe worth a search on here as I can't remember exactly what advice was given back then.

I sold a MY00 Uk Turbo for a Tommi Mak Evo 6.

Lasted 4 months then I sold the Tommi for my V4 Type R.

Yes the evo was a really nice car but it just wasnt quite the same as a scoob

Rich

Hopefully it is just that but seems an awfull lot of water to come thru one bolt hole!

Thats quite possible over a period of time, and you know how much rain/snow/sleet we have had over the last few months

Rich

He's just depressed about turning 30

And stuck offshore

Ta.

Is that it????

Well we wont bother next year then

The marks were on it from new.

Poor thing must have had a hard paper round in the subaru forecourt.

Looks stunning, my CTR is red and relatively shiny but I cant wait to get it machine polished

Rich

Was there much SIDC'ers turn up?

Wheres the rest of the pics

Rich

Happy Birthday manny

Graeme you keep the heat in the exhaust so it doesnt radiate heat in the engine bay. The centre section is under the car so doesnt matter about radiated heat there.

Rich

I'm on the verge of DIY adam tbh coz I just want it finished now.

I have already masked up and moved the wiring loom out the road and masked up some other bits inside the car.

Would I need to prepare the bdkwork or cage before spraying it or is it justa case of making sure its clean?

Couple of coats of primer then a final coat? I'm going white for interior.

I do plan to go to as many track days this year that I can manage. My shift rota is about to change and the Trackscotland dates arent the best for me...typical (I'm sure i can make some swaps though )

Rich

This is going to be an impressive car once...dare i say it......once its finished, if it can ever be finished

Rich

Struggling to get a painter/sprayer to do the inside of my car.

Anyone know anybody, near perth that may be willing to do the job?

If I can't get anyone then i'll be doing it myself with spray cans to get the thing back on the road for mid march

Rich

I recon a remap

My question is past tense neil Any more subaru's in the horizon then?

Top secret, good stuff - get them estimated figures up after the mapping, good luck

Rich

Thats good going

What you had done?

Rich

Anyone had a night out in ullapool? How are the pubs? How many are there?

Have pm'd ScoUK / Al to see if he has diagnostic sstuff, after all he mapped his car himself.

I have texted him about this post for you Aaron

Rich

Very nice, I like it

Hope you get it fixed min.

Good tips above that you could try.

I managed to flood my engine after fitting the bigger injectors so I had to remove/replace the plugs and it fired up 1st time after that. Was easy enough on my classic as all I had to remove was an intercooler pipe/water bottle and air filter. ABS makes it a lot harder to reach the plugs on drivers side but mine doesnt have ABS, yours will, PITA job. I don't think yours is flooded though, this is for info more than anything.

Rich

It all sounds very interesting cosworth working with subaru, can only be a good thing for a new model to come out but...

should it not be called a "Subaru Impreza WRX Cosworth" coz I bet all the STi bits will be changed for cosworth bits.

It has the potential to be a whole new model, top end of the impreza range.
