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

The last few years i've joined the Sun's F1 dream team but this year they can't be running it. Anyone know of anywhere else which will have one for this season 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

cheers for that not really clued up about these things, if it breaks it go's to the garage going to evolution on monday for an alarm so will pop round and see duncan where are the group buys on here cheers steve

alright My ra is one of the early ones with the 5 injectors i'm just taking it for granted that the 5 of them will need changed i've had a look at some of the websites but it looks as if they only come in sets of 4. hi kenny not been to bad not seen you about since you had your accident have you got it fixed yet. cheers steve

Hi Where can i get a set of 5 550cc injectors for a 1995 sti ra and a front mount intercooler planning some mods cheers steve

hi cal My car is a 95 imported ra it only has one hole on either side of the boot so i was thinking of maybe drilling another 3 or 4 holes on the boot which will line up with the bolts on the new spoiler and sealing it with some silicone Cheers steve

Alright Got a v6 spoiler today for my classic and the original spoiler is only held on by 2 bolts. Would i be better to drill a few more holes to secure it to the boot as there are about 6 holes on the spoiler for bolting it on cheers steve

Hi grant The ferry which runs from newcastle to ijmuiden is DFDS seaways and if memory serves me correct it leaves about 5 or 6 and gets into ijmuiden about 9 in the morning. Prices for a return are about £300 for 2 people and a car with an inside cabin. Hull to zeebrugge is about £230 for 2 people and 1 car with a cabin Not sure if the roysth ferry might be up and running again as i think there are some companies interested in taking it on again now that the EU is providing grants for the sailing. Keep in touch mate about it as i'd definately be up for it. cheers steve

Hi Grant interested in this trip to the ring in may as me and the misses have a baby due in june so it would be a good blow out before the big day and it would also depend on getting the holidays from work but it shouldn't be a problem. Used the newcastle to ijmuiden boat alot in my last job it's a good boat and as cal say's it'll cut out alot of driving and you'll miss the traffic at brussells which for most of the day is very slow moving.. cheers steve

alright Heading to glenshee on monday morning for a days boarding if anyone is interested in heading up i.ll be leaving from airdrie Cheers steve

cheers for that had my uncle up today for some measurements so hopefully we'll have something soon he was talking about making a cone with some holes in it for when it's idling so it's still getting air. Will post up some pictures off the finished article cheers steve

Hi Recently had my car at hypertech and duncan mentioned that since it has an induction kit it would be better with a heat shield and removing the box out of the wing for some cold air to get in. I've seen plenty of hose kits but can't seem to find any decent heat shields where can you pick these up from or even get a picture of one and i can get one made through a relative? cheers steve

hi just got my v5 log book in for my 1995 imported tyre ra and noticed next to the co2 it is blank. How does this go with the road tax and also the car has a full decat system how will this effect the mot emissions test and a roadside test or spot check Cheers steve

Yeah the car has been mapped for the decat and uk fuel, there is a big difference between this and my bugeye even although my bugeye was kicking out about 265bhp. it's 122000km's which is about 75000miles The car is really good to drive but trying to get used to the DCCD settings although i'm glad i went ahead with the swap cheers steve

Hi After having my 02 bugeye WRX for a year i decided to try and get a classic impreza as these had grown on me for the last few months. So i kept an eye on pistonheads for swaps and tried to sell it and got some dealers advice from some local garages to find out that my bugeye wasn't really worth that much! I was offered a few UK 2000 Turbos but was looking for something alittle different. I was offered a 1995 import sti type ra with some mods which i considered and got plenty of pictures from the seller and asked the wife's opinion for a full 2 seconds after which i had to leave as an ear bashing was coming!!!! Last wednesday i made my way down south to check the car out and possibly do the deal which i ended up doing. Thought i'd post some pictures of the car and get some reaction on it and to see if it was worth swapping for a 02 bugeye WRX i'm relatively new on here so hello everyone. Plus i could be doing with some info on the DCCD (what settings to use) Got some plans for it already but it has had alot of work done to it but first i'll get it on a dyno and get a Bhp figure. cheers steve

not drove the ra yet mate but it is the light weight one with the fifth injector so i think it is one of the first ra's.

currently have a 52 plate wrx with the usual mod's and have been offered a swap with a w reg ra import which has had alot of work done to it and is pushing out near on 340 bhp. It has had about 4500 spent on it and is in mint condition. Are these 2 cars roughly valued at the same price and would i be better keeping my wrx and upgrade this cheers steve
