Whilst ive got my engine out planning on painting the block and manifold to tidy it up a bit, whats best stuff to use and is there any guides for doing this? cheers

Alright folks, couple of quick questions, Will all EJ20 blocks bolt on fine to v3/4 heads? Also whats preventing me using a different engine (ie v1/2/5/6) with my current ecu which is v3/v4? would i need to replace full loom or would i be able to swap the manifolds over? Just trying to figure out options available before i take my engine out following head gasket failure. Also i had slight piston slap from engine due to being a 1998, how is this normally rectified?

Seen this the other day when i was out delivering, seemed a right mess no sure how it ended up where it was tho

Ive managed 340 out of mine full to empty uk spec with full decat exhaust normally get around 40-50 miles to a tenner day to day driving not sure what this works out at mpg wise

i use around 300/350 quid a month on fuel depending on how much i use it outside of going to work and back... but at end of day i knew it was never going to be cheap

aye she didnt have a clue last week when i asked her either lol

had this experience before aswell, spotted an old mk3 supra turbo down birmingham spoke to the guy asked if any faults said slight surface rust but runs perfect, got down there the paintwork was mega dodgy and signs head gasket was on its road out .... told the guy where to go and came home out of pocket and without my new car

Gazz there is a good few Imprezas around Lanark/Carluke/Wishaw need to narrow it down a touch

Looking do a build for around 350 bhp but unsure of condition of my current block so was thinking about building replacement out of car before i take my current block out

What are the differences between the v1 and v6 blocks, i currently have a v4 but wondering what would prevent me fitting a different block with a v4 ecu. Cheers

Considering a build on my 98 uk turbo as mileage is around 135k and suffers piston slap badly when cold, currently have a 3" full system decat exhaust other than that standard. Ideally looking for 350/400bhp that is reliable but will have second car as a runabout. Looking for advice as to best build that will get this result, was looking at replacing pistons,rods,bearings, uprated oil pump, injectors, walbro, bigger injectors initially but recently have been considering sti heads but unsure if these would be of much benefit? Cheers in advance Gaz

Is this possible on version 4 (98) ecu's?

Charlie i got Vpower from the Shell next to Airdrie town hall if thats the one your talking about a few weeks back, was only on a couple of pumps tho im sure and not every one

I recently got 24mm rear fitted when needed to replace it with standard front and dont find any issues with it

Not heavy enough tho, i want snow to lie so i can go have some fun lol

I flashed at you just off the high st outside the fire station, reddish blue classic, car was looking good!

As above its easy to find, just across from the mc'connechys garage before u hit the NSL that takes you to the auction market

1/ badbaz : 1/2mile from Lanark 2/ TPS -SCOOB : 12 miles 3/ boab type ra : 10 mins 4/ StrikE : 800yrds 5/ J10 DLY : 15-20mins 6/ evil_scoobs - 21 miles 7/ st3ph3n - 17 miles 8/Big Gordon 9/ kennyuk300 10/Cruz104 11/ GazTurboUK

Only night i wouldnt be able to make would be a Friday night as currently work every Friday, Sat sounds good tho

Depending on when it is i would prob pop along, 0miles from Lanark

Think i was still half asleep and getting pissed off at they bloody roadworks lol Had been heading down to where my Mk1 Golf was stored as i was selling it

Andy your impreza was insane, seen a good few runs and could see you seemed to have an issue with 3rd, shame your good run didnt get logged. Well in for winning overall tho!!

Was up aswell, timing fault explains why i only had 2 runs logged despite running 3. Best time was a 14.042 which i was more than happy with as only a uk2000 standard bar decat/exhaust and only running 9psi Was the blue classic with black sti6 rear spoiler

blue classic that will be parked in the car park as i dont fancy/cant afford another gearbox change lol

Anyone heading to Crail this Sunday? Think i might take the Impreza up
