I have a 2009 wrx hatchback over the last few weeks engine light has been coming on when it is checked showing up as bank 1 lean car running fine no power drop but the last time idle getting a bit ruff on start up

Car has a full decat

Aem intake

Fuel reg

Turbo smart dump valve

Andy Forrest remap

Thanks

Can someone tell me if you can remove the power steering reservoir metal cover as am looking at painting it my friends 94 classic

Thanks

Any one tell me were the cabin filter is on a 94 wrx.

Thanks

Two scoobys the day on the A96 kintore to Aberdeen nice red classic plus blue hawkeye sti.

Well car mapped today from Andy forrest very happy car made just over 290bhp and 350lbs torque not bad for full exhuast a intake and fuel reg.

So big thanks to Andy for the the map.

On the down side the black wheels I got not working on the hatch so had to get ones from Ra Motorsport so got a set of 17inch enkei rpf1 in gold they do look nice on car I think a wee bit different.

So thanks to Ra Motorsport big help as always

What to you think of the wheels.

Ra Motorsport doing them for me so should be fun looking at that

Well got the wheels on yesterday looks good but rubbing like mad on the back so more work I think when down to Ra on Wednesday.

Camber bolts and wheel alignment hopefully that will sort it if not wheels for sale.

Got it from just Subaru .co.uk

I am using a red led

Be better once I get the camber sorted so can get the black 18s back on

Got the hatch lowered last nite plus got the AEM intake in clear fog lamp done and the new back box fitted a few days ago.

All ready for its trip to Ra Motorsport next week for front decat fuel reg and Andy forrest remap.

Hi all again can any one tell if brembos will bolt on to my hatchback I now the stud pattern is the same as my 53 but not sure about bolts that hold the calipers on to hub

Cheers

Well the new wheels arrived.

I think it needs lowered now

Hope the photos come up.

hi all looking for some info on my car does any now sm59 lvf white wrx hatch car was from falkirk way then ended up in aberden area noticed some damage to front and trying to get info on it if i can.

any help wouild be perfect thanks

Hi all looking at changing the gear knob on my 09 hatch can't find any are these the same as the old ones

had a look and they do look very like the ones in v8 and v9

Cheers

dont think i will need one if this Aem filter sits far down in the wing.

was not going to map right away was going to wait a bit till parts are all on.

cheers

Just a wrx was looking at getting it mapped some time down the road I don't have anything on car right know par a cosworth panel fillter just a wee bit quiet for me looking at exhuast as well don't what one like the looks of the scoobyworld afterburner back box or the Perrin one.

But do like the noise a induction kit makes in the scoobys I had a hyperflow intake in my last one and that was nice.

So does the hatch like these kits without being mapped.

once I get a intake and exhuast then I will get it remapped.

Cheers

I had the K&N Typhoon on my old hatch.

Made a good sound and Andy F's computer measured 342 and 343 bhp at mapping, along with the PPP kit I already had.

If you read Scooby Net and the GR Forum most people would say go for the AEM kit, this is because it puts the intake deeper into the wing. The K&N kit sits higher up under the bonnet.

If you look under some of my older hatch posts you'll see some pics of the Typhoon installed.

I own a CS400 now which i guess has the cosworth induction kit, although mine is red an I thought the Cosworth one only came in blue. I did think the CS400 maybe had an AEM kit fitted cos it looks really similar, when i go oot to my car later i'll have a poke aboot and see if it's definitely a cosworth kit.

Do you know we're I can get a Aem kit from over here

Cheers

Looking at fitting an induction kit but don't know what one k&n or cosworth what one should I go for.

Cheers

White? Not the BEST colour - cos dark grey is lol... but I do like the white... and I also like the red... and possibly the blue too

I like the look of the "slim body" wrx hatch, looks tidy. On some of the American forums folk have got them looking well smart.

Like I said it seems to have just been the STi's that suffer possible engine failure because they're running increased power.

Good luck with the purchase!

Hopefully get the car this week waiting for garage now

Looking at black wheels for it had black team dynamics on my last one and I do like them.

As far as I know - any issues with hatch engines have been with STi's... and even moreso with the 330s if ye believe the gossip.

Alot of it was down to mapping problems.

If it's the same block in the WRX as the STi - the lower power of the WRX shouldn't pose any problems for the block.

As with any Subaru turbo engine - treating her right, checking the oil regular and nae bouncing the limiter off the redline all the time will help - so will warming up the car before giving it some and also allowing it a wee cool doon after.

What colour ye thinking of?

Remember and get some pics up if ye buy it... then get yersel along to SIDC at Alford on 8th July
