Hi there,if the car has had sti ecu and ran ok the injectors have been changed,I think rb5 had 380s standard sti would be 440s if the fuel rails have parallel mod check the routing to fpr.As the guys have said it does sound like a boost leak though I would also try another known good maf as they have been known to be faulty straight out of the box.hope this helps. Gary

Hi first thing I would check is the bush at the top of the pedal slacken the nut and grease failing that remove the fork pin on bellhousing and copper ease if its none of these its probably the pressure plate. I would try a couple of hard launches and see if that helps.Gary

Yes classic are the same its newage which are narrower.

Would anyone in the central belt happen to have or know anyone with a wheel arch roller for sale,hire or loan. Both my front and are rubbing due to using spacers to clear brembos on classic.I would obviously leave a deposit if anyone could hire or lend one,failing this I Will be hiring one from ebay if anyone else requires the use of it.Thanks Gary

I could be wrong but i think the above link bears a lot similarities to flat 4 online,I would do some research before sending payment.Cheers Gary

Thanks to Grant for sponsoring the trophies, A great day with perfect conditions which is very unusual by crail standards it was also very quiet meaning the long queues and heatsoak were avoided. First place went to grant in his orange car in the shootout second to steff b in his type r and my old wagon got third with which i am delighted. I managed a 12.5 which is a pb steff did his first 11 Grant was the only other guy to do an 11 all day. Hopefully the plans for next years event will happen sounds good. cheers Gary

Hey Grant, Put Steff wee john and me down for the unmodified and slow class. Cheers Gary

Porting yourself isnt too difficult all you really need is a dremmel a good drill grinders and flapper wheels. Do a search there are good write ups on nasioc, Harveys stuff however is well done and I can recommend his up-pipes. Gary

A good day out Was had,Good to meet Chris your car will easily meet your expectations when it can get enough grip an easy ten or nine to be had at santa pod where they actually spend some money on upkeep and prep. the right hand lane was a joke with mud on the staging area and first 60 feet caused by guys queuing on the verge.But enough excuses I didnt even manage a twelve in the left lane despite 112 mph terminal better luck next time eh.

Hi there, On the slave cylinder the bleed nipple is not the highest point, You need to remove the slave cylinder fasten the piston back and bleed with the nipple held at the highest point. cheers Gary

I done my own on a classic,Other than dodgy bolts the most awkward job if you are doing it on your own is getting the turbo in position with the oil return pipe best done with assistance.If the bolts and studs are refusing to budge you can grind off the two on the bracket and remove with the uppipe still attached which i found easier.I have also heard that on a six speed a part of the bellhousing needs ground but havent done that Hope this helps.Gary

Another vote for andys here, Quality product value for money and a guarantee thats worth something.mines on 2 litre classic by the way and well worth the effort.

Hi there,the biggest return to the inlet is from the re-circ dump valve which runs under the inlet manifold,the others are crank and head breathers,The best reason for going aftermarket is to delete all of these otherwise standard is good up to fairly high power applications.cheers Gary

Well done Andy looked like you got a wee fright in the final, The skyline was unlucky too.Thanks for the pressure gauge it done the trick managed another twelve after we spoke.Cheers Gary

There are a few who do, The black one mentioned im assuming is the one with pops and bangs sounds sorted but dont know personally. Four of my mates have classics, One well sorted type r one early classic money pit one sti wagon.So keep waving we aint all ignorant.

Well Williamwood was out of it as well, Looking like it will be tesco 99 tomorrow none of the garages know when they will be getting it back in as deliveries have been cancelled, I suspect due to it coming from the one refinery in the south.

Cheers will try tomorrow going opposite direction tonight.

Anyone know anywhere in lanarkshire or southside with v-power tried Hamilton bellshill and burnside all sold out and dont know when they will get delivery,Willliamwood would be handy if anyone has tried it.Cheers Gary.

Apparently they are both speed and number plate recognition cameras they are usually on the southbound side at abbington to spot which trucks and vans they want to pull in at beatock weighbridge so chuck your columbians and ak 47s out at crawford.

Tech question for those in the know,My mate has a late v5 type R rear brakes are 2 pot with 190mm rotors which are apparently not standard fitment.Question being are they from later model or aftermarket and where could they be bought scoobyworld etc dont list the size making him think they may be aftermarket.Cheers in advance.

Hi i have the same car with the same problem,The silver one you spoke to at knockhill last year. drb5 told me to try autoimage on gt western rd but when i called i was told they do it but only if you are buying their wheels so tou could try them and hopefully get a better response.As you noticed on mine it had been lowered a fair bit and was on 16s when i put on 17s with 215s they projected outside the arch towards the bumper on the rear so i thought rolling wouldnt help this.Dont know if yours is the same but im in the process of polybushing to reduce any movement before i try a more favourable geometry set up.Some told me that drivers do rolling also but i didnt try them,Where did you get geometry done and could camber adjustment not help?Be interested to hear how you get on.cheers Gary

Looks like a clean well looked after car,the only thing i noticed was that splash guards are missing cant think why they would be removed to add front flaps. I would certainly consider it after some negotiation and another set of wheels.Theres also no mention of the oil pump in the rebuild spec you would hope that its been modified with the rest of the work.With the rebuild to that spec i would think it adds value and peace of mind so I would have a look at it anyway.cheers Gary

With 99/00 a known fault is water ingress at the plug at the abs pump pull plug off and spray lightly with with water repellent, Failing that after cleaning sensors you can either get it on a multimeter or buy a sensor and try replacing each in turn. hope this helps Gary.

If you were so inclined you could import a version5 now and register it in january without the need for the sva, v5 has a few advantages over earlier models looks and performance wise and prices will come down to match but then again im biased.
