hi Finally got my apexi commander and controller. Front mount. Dump valve and 550 injectors for my 95 sti ra. I.ve got it booked in for andy f to map next tuesday and was wondering what cold air intake would be best. I like the look of the small carbon fibre induction vent or i could run a cold air pipe from my fog lamp cover. Will there be room behind my fog lamp cover once my front mount is fitted or will the pipework for the front mount be in the way. Anyone got any ideas on what would be best. Cheers steve

they have got a new car out which is styled on the evo but it's a smaller car than the lancer. Although from the front it looks exactly like the evo as it's been designed by rallyart. I looked at it in the garage but can't remember the name of it Steve

just a mention that there's an andy forrest td04 hybird for sale on scoobynet for 280

fitted whiteline drop links to my ra at the weekend and couldn't believe the difference they made. Going to get the front done next month.

hi big D My ra has a K & N induction kit which was fitted by the previous owner. Cheers steve

hi Recently bought a cold air intake pipe for my ra but i noticed last sunday at the falkirk wheel that a couple of cars had the bonnet air intake scoop. Which would be best the pipe or a scoop as i see davie at dr motorsport sells them so might buy one instead of using the pipe. Is there any pro's or con's Cheers steve

Thanks for that Paul still trying to find out if i'd be better going straight for the 550cc injectors or buy 440cc until i get a 20G then buy some 550cc to run with the bigger turbo cheers steve

Hi Just bought an apexi ecu and commander this week for my 95 sti type ra i'm looking to get this fitted and mapped for my engine mods. These include a full decat 3", RCM Fuel pump, NGK series 8 spark plugs, K&N Induction Kit. It currently runs a polar performance chip which the previous owner fitted to it and it is probably maxing out my top mount and my standard injectors as it's kicking out around 300BHP. I'd like to know if I fitted a front mount and maxxed out my td05 would i be better buying 440cc injectors or 550cc injectors. Eventually I'm looking to run a 20G where i'd need 550cc injectors anyway. Once the 20G is fitted i'd be looking to get the gearbox strengthened as i don't think it'd handle the power. How would you go about this while keeping the ra's gear ratio's. Hope this makes sense cheers steve

what about the godspeed conversion mate with the oversized pads. It works well on my car Cheers steve

i'd be up for it to if i had time to get some parts and get them fitted. Think i need an apexi controller and map i think for my 95 ra Steve

there was a green label one on pistonheads for sale £40. not sure if it's still there steve

If your looking for a maf sensor try here http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/parts.asp?cat=68⊂=334 or there is a 2nd hand one for sale on pistonheads it is a green sticker one though http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/995449.htm cheers steve

Had the same issues with my 95 ra last week mate. it turned out to be the Maf sensor worth checking that out. cheers steve

is there a problem with my boost then when duncan dyno'd it he never said that there was anything wrong with it although he did say that the car must be manic to drive which it is . Hopefully i'll get andy f to map it soon once i get a front mount and bigger injectors Steve

hi Headed up yesterday with my nephew who enjoyed himself although it was a bit windy. One of the reason's i headed up is that i'd be interested in putting my RA on the track at the next sidc track day. My RA is track ready but looking for some info on costs as i heard some people saying that you can hire tyre's and helmets. Also i'd be looking to take my nephew on the track to and was told as long as his seat belt fits him properly then it'd be ok there is a harness on the drivers side which i could move over to the passenger side to if that would be better Any info would be appreciated Thanks steve

there was one of these polar performance chips on my car and i'd agree with the above statement that it's very aggressive. My RA boosts to 1.4 bar then drops to 0.95 bar and it's running just over the 300bhp mark. I had it dyno'd and the fuel mix is perfect. Althought i'd saving up for andy f to do a live map for the car. Cheers steve

will keep an eye out for you matey i'm in airdrie to steve

what are the good and bad points of a air induction scoop and what advantages is there over a cold air induction kit from the fog lamp cover seen the scoop for sale on dr motorsport so i'm thinking of getting one cheers steve

Can certainly feel the difference between the 2 so it'll be v-power for me from now on, gave it a blast the other night and still the knock link stayed on the first green light where with the tesco 99 it used to jump up to the amber light occasionally.

Hi When i got my ra it had a Power Builder Bee-R rev limiter fitted i have the instruction booklet but it's all in japanese and was wondering if anyone knew how to set these up. The previous owner had it set and i've never touched it. It has 3 buttons rev 1 , rev 2 and the other is Gain cheers steve

Hi I had something similar a couple of weeks ago, I left the house to go to cumbernauld and as i got onto the main st in plains i noticed a marked BMW traffic car overtaking traffic behind me so i moved over slightly as i thought they were going after someone. As he came in behind me i thought here comes the lights for a check i was sitting about 30 minding my own business so i carried on to cumbernauld with them sitting behind me and dropped my mum off at her nursery to pick up her car. As i done a u-turn to come back to airdrie they swung their car round and followed me all the way back to airdrie then disappeared as i stopped at the shop a couple of minutes from the house. That pasted a good 25 30 minutes cheers steve

Hi I've been using tesco 99 since i got my first impreza but since i got my type ra i've noticed that the knock link lights up the second green light or even the amber light for a split second when i'm pushing it on a bit. So a few weeks ago i started using shell v power and now the knock link doesn't move from the first green light even when it's getting thrashed. Is this just a coincidence or would there be a difference between the 2 fuels which would cause this?? cheers steve

Gav at evolution fitted a cat 1 alarm on my car on monday morning done a great job and for a great price cheers steve

hi paul I'm looking to get andy forrest's stage 2 for my ra and the injectors and the front mount intercooler are all i need then i.ll get andy f to map it. Already spoke to andy about it just saving up some cash and trying to source the parts Cheers steve
