Probably just dampness in the MAF sensor. Mine comes on if the car gets soaked for example if im stuck behind a lorry on a wet road etc.

Would love too! Wrong time of year and I think I maybe changing after xmas aswell.

Yeah they are still on mu classic the now, I only have the standard 4 pots underneath them at the moment.

Picture of when I bought mine last year, they look very very similar to newage WRX alloys, except they are slightly sharper?

I take it my car wouldnt have originally came with them?

I have a 93 WRX if that somehow counts? But my MY00 2000 Turbo looks much better in my opinion!

I have recently been given a 1993 WRX with a knackered bottom end.

Not had a chance to get the sump off and have a look, but has anyone managed to get away with replacing the shells?

If not, then would I be wise to replace the engine with a phase two? Obviously loom, intercooler, ecu etc aswell.

Cheers! Ryan

1996 Ford Escort 1.3 Encore....

....which I rolled end over end on the approach to Stoneymollan roundabout, and finished upside down in the middle of the road.. can't win them all!!!

That was my first car aswell, engine seized.

And...I also crashed my Escort GTi on that round about, slid it into a barrier.

Im over the moon that its sorted, been out all weekend it in.

Should be along on thursday if I can sneak away early.

All sorted! Massive thanks to Greig (Cant mind his username) and Jonboywrx for sorting me out with a replacement MAF!

**** off! ^^^^

Came back on here after a week and these goggle ads seem to be popping everywhere? Anyway to shift them?

Behind the alternator on the inlet manifold there is a black rubber plug, wiggle it off and pipe the guage into there.

Take the power for the guage from somewhere like the stereo as that is fused.

Sorry was a busy weekend and never got a chance to get on the internet! Cheers for all the help, I will look into get a MAF this week if people who said they have one want to sell one?

The car sometimes wont even rev past 2k rpm, couldnt go any faster than 40mph driving back from Dundee which was embarrasing!

Ive tried cleaning the MAF with Electronic Solvent cleaner and a fibre glass pen, but no joy. Also spoke to Dunc at HyperTech and he also says that its the MAF.

Surely if they are so **** Subaru would have sorted that by now? Like upgraded them?

Ive been searching alot of Scoob websites and so far these seem to get flagged...

1. Blocked Fuel Filter

2. Coil pack gone

3. Spark Gap (plugs)

4. Breaking down leads

Where is this Boost Cut? Is it an ECU controlled safety precaution?

It has a centre de-cat, but it hasnt been mapped or had the downpipe cat removed. It was running fine until a month or so ago. After I serviced it, which made me think the oil was too high, but wasnt. So now im stumped!!

But the idea of a fuel problem does seem like a good idea!

I unplugged the MAF and it didnt seem to make a difference (which I thought it would if it was knackered?)

Is there any test for fuel cut?

I have another Impreza, but its a K-reg, so any parts I can pull off that to test?

Still cant get my MY00 to boost properly. The car wont rev past 4k rpm when moving, but will stationary (so something to do with the turbo).

Ive cleaned and replaced the BCS, tested the actuator, ran the car with no actuator and just a guage to watch the pressure and still no joy.

Ive removed the old BCS and replaced it with a HKS Boost Controller I had about. Still nothing. Just cant seem to shift it.

The car really jumps back and forth when you try to get past 4k rpm, maybe thought it could be the over boost cut off? But I dont know where that is?

Can anyone help, trying to avoid taking it to a garage as thats cheating. But it may come to it.

Cheers for any help, Ryan.

That solves that then! Was on my way to Balloch to see my Parents.

All sorted now cheers! Getting one from Stuarted, he's not that far from me either! Bonus.

Yeah was earlier on, round about half one. Im pretty sure it had a private reg and had a little orange RB sticker on the front splitter. Got a wave so thought it might have been someone off here!

I thought it might have been Maxxed-Ross's at first, because I remember he had stickers on the front somewhere.

There is a jap breakers in Govan down by Ibrox. Jap auto parts 01414402900

None in there mate, hoping Stuarted can sort me out.

Cheers mate! Will also give them a phone.

I touch goats mate!

Seen you both today, waves exchanged. In my green MY00 Turbo.

Im in need of Boost Control Solenoid for my MY00 UK Turbo

I remember someone saying about an Impreza/Jap breakers in Glasgow area??

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Cheers Ryan.
