gettin there mate, still need to buy and fit an uprated fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator before the remap. also still toying with the idea of 550cc injectors

no problem, will let you know when I am ready to go over. cheers for the offer of the filter mate but my APEXi intake arrived yesterday.

Hi Paul Think Richard or Dave would be the men to speak to. Try popping them an email

Morning Graeme, morning everyone I am fine, kinda glad MGP is over. Been a bit of a roller coaster this year with juggling a busy work schedule and spannering and pit crewing for my mate Paul who won his first replica in the Junior on Wednesday, totally made up for him. Pic courtesy of JBK

Cheers Dan What?? Yours ran?? Tried the carb cleaner, and it made the problem worse. The car was drivable below 4k before cleaning then completely undrivable afterwards.

Not sure when I am gonna get to take the trip over, hopefully sooner rather than later. The remap will be £250 +VAT and I belive will take a few hours You are more than welcome to join me on the trip over if you like, you planning to make the same pilgramage with the Type R?

Sorry for my late entrance I have had my hands full with work and the GP but now thats over I am back in the world of the Scooby, PHEW!!!! Welcome to the forums mate.

Thanks for today John, it is very much appreciated still not sure what we did but she is still running just need to get it to Andy F now for the mapping

your up late John me? I've been out for a and am shattered but thought i would stick my head in here first

here you go mate check this out http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q...turbo&meta= who's the spec in the distance?

LMAO there is always one

Lookin good Ash Will be great to have you along with your own car, I am sure you will have spec'd it up by the time you get here. I used to have a mini pick-up with a 1300 engine, prob one of my fave cars I have owned, mini's are such great fun through the twisties

Took the plunge this morning and ordered a new MAF from Grade A. Fair play to them they said it would be out today and delivered tomorrow which is ace. Received my PFC and Power Intake yesterday so for something to do after the practices were cancelled last night I decided to offer up the intake to the busted MAF to find out the holes do not line up, would appear I have received the wrong intake one thing after bloody another so am gonna double check the PFC is the correct one and then send back the wrong parts tomorrow

Anyone? Have texted Mark aka ghost101 to see if he still has his but have had no reply is there anyone else on the island with a version 4 wrx or sti as I need to ask them for a favour?

cheers for that Mark just rang him and he has none of the orange label second hand ones in stock he is quoting more that Grade A for a new one, Grade A are asking for £185 +VAT and delivery could really do without forking out a couple of hundred quid right now

Here we are then, used to look like this then this and this is what we have now As you can see I still need to trim and refit my STi splitter, and my power intake has still not arrived. I am a little upset though as after investigation last night it would appear the car has eaten its second MAF. I really hope I dont have a car that eats MAF's for breakfast. I am struggling to find a replacement, I have rang a few places this morning and no one seems to have one. Alyn @ AS Performance said he could get me a brand new one but at present I dont have the £250 he quoted me for it. My search for another MAF continues,,,,,,, On a lighter note, the new door cards are in so the interior matches again

Well here we are, new forum and new update The front mount is on (phone pics again sorry) and the manilfold is painted Spent all afternoon Saturday and all day Sunday putting the car back together, most of the time taken up with trimming the front bumper to get it to fit around the front mount. The inlet manifold was refitted along with my silicone turbo inlet hose and my silicone coolant hoses. Turned the key about half eight Sunday night, she fired up first turn and then became really lumpy and died, after alot of messing around I finally got her running although she now has a really bad hesitation and cough around 4000rpm. Am heading up to Andrews (ASTiMAN) tonight after the practices for him to see if he can find what is causing the problem, he thinks it may be an air leak from somewhere. Will post up some more pics and another update tomorrow.

and with our own regional section, cheers Andy How are we all?

How old was the fella? deffinately a marmite car and I dont like marmite either LOL

"third engine" and "V quick" are two statments that dont really go together [:S]

Any idea who owns it? Is it me or do they need a visit from the scooby style police or what? each to thier own I s'pose

ok so the inlet manifold is off, cleaned and primed, will hit it with the colour tomorrow evening excuse the poor quality pic, took it with my phone Further updates will be adde once we are on the SIDC 2.0 forum

You are like a saviour mate I think I nearly have it off, only a couple of bits to disconnect now. Its more putting it all back together that I will probably need help with but if you have a free hour or so all help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I am out at the car every evening this week (and next) trying to get most of it done before the MGP starts proper.

This Evo was photographed on Douglas prominade, I believe it belongs to someone here in the Isle of Man

A little update My Hybrid front mount arrived last week so started stripping the car last night only for it to chuck it down through the night last night and for more of the same to be forecast for the next couple of days, just my luck [:@] also going to be stripping out the inlet manifold for re-painting and fitting of my turbo inlet hose, boy do I feel way in over my head with this one. the car currently looks like this [] Oh and my new door cards arrived this morning so I will have a matching interior again soon []
