ok jac spill the beans sir. The 550 club is currently very small the now :-). Need a few more members. Just hope i can join it soon.

550 thats old hat, 600 it the club to be in. lol

Put the Wossner piston in and you'll be sorted!!!

Good choice John, but not the ones from the U.S

I thought it was because Greame doesn't drive his scooby anymore...senseless or what!!!

thanks every1 i managed to get it fitted over the weekend. i didna bother with the parking brake. i just earthed it eles where n dus the same job lol. only thing i find now is that my speedo is out just by about 3mph

Most speedo are. Good man you get a bit of satisfaction from fitting parts your self

ahaa

I had two pistons go when i did my rebuild last year , luckely i caut it before it went bang, i was running tomuch boost on them and the lands decided to go . Could have made some mes like yours did.

When i get my turbo back im going to be upping it a little more in the quest of 550 bhp

Looking forward to this one,its going to be a real flyer

Andy.F was telling me that the 2.5 cars run much tigher tolerances due to emmissions etc. When the 2.5 car had its debut in the US there was a whole load of cars nicking pistons in the tigher-than-normal bore. They had them a year before us, so in that time hope/think that Subaru would have sorted it. Its possible that this is what happened to my car.

This seems to be a prob with the 2.5, thats what puts me of getting one. I think i will stay with

my 2.2 CDB.

Your just jealous Graeme because you don't get invited to my toga parties

Nice clean looking car, the wheels really set it of

Think the parking brake wire is under the handbrake itself think it was a brown wire for us not 100% sure but worth a look!

Claire

right lads am half way there now. i found the harnis. now can any 1 tell me where about the ecu is on the 02 sti uk type??? i was thinking about just wiren it up it we the speedo and taco . but think i better do it by the book

ECU is under the passenger footwell. I cant remember what the wires are but if you are really stuck

i can go in to my ecu and tell you, as i have the same one fitted.

Good luck

Sorry to hear you got rid of the Forester i was licking it. never mind I'm sure you will have fun

in the leggy and turn it in to something interesting. you know it will be in good hands with Alan-g

and Fab 1 Happy motoring

another reason for the lands to break is from running to much boost on weak(standard wrx) pistons .

Generaly speaking detination would not cause this , but if there was dedenation your pistons would normaly fail at the crown of the piston.

I keep forgetting John's car was a wrx

Cool film back in the day

Grant, a well fitting song to play on departing from Lanark. should get everyone geared up for it.

Nice one big man, now you can enjoy driving your car with no running issues and more

Put your name on Brians turbo quick smart, for £50 you cant go wrong.

Yup, nice find indeed.

Here is a video of what it looks like when it all goes wrong!!!

What did the garage say caused the damage to the piston ?

Good luck mate and hope everything goes well for you

Your welcome mate

Hear is some photos taken on my phone, so not so good a quality.

ProGrip in Bonniebridge is da man

Greersport has a 6 speed gear kit at their garage..

Is this a ppg box or just a standard 6 speed ?
