ciaranrb5

Very nice Ciaran, good choice.

Is the front bumper uncut? Fancy a swap for a pre cut one?

mmmmm i was thinking front mount anyway. Is the cutting of your bumper not a bit rough from memory

and will this one ???

Yip. Only requires the engine and box fitting and its good to go. May pull the current engine and sort it so I can use it this summer

to be fair your going to need a new project thread lol

I think thats agood idea this is the 4th car on this project and none are finished

I will have the rear wing from it when you break it

I actually have a P1 spoiler in the barn already

No newage for me, sorry Chris but this was to cheap to not buy. I can own the dirty fast P1 and yours can be the clean slow P1

Is your second biggest secret out yet Dave? The one we were discussing at knockers?

Whats the secret Dave. I will tell you mine if you tell me yours

and i believe youve been thinning out the collection anyway

cmon whatve you got? show me yours il show you mine....

I have indeed been thinning out my collection. Needs must

It is.............. a well guarded secret for now. I will give you a clue though it is limited edition

MOT'd and taxed!! It is whole, just a slight engine issue. Yet to diagnose the engine issue but at the price I got it even if the engine was a total loss it would be a bargain

another one to sit in the scooby museum is it ???

Na one to drive once it receives it's new 2.1 heart

And buy one that is running

Correct

new purchase Ciaran?

Maybees I maybees no...... all will be revealed in due course

Whats the best thing to do if you want an Impreza to drive about in?

Buy a whole one

it's about time as well............says me

Looks superb Chris. Im sure you will make it look even better

Nice. At SW I see

Burning the midnight oil ciaran ? I touch goats.

Lol replied. And was just in the door after a night out in Westport county Mayo

Well done Chris. Hold out for a P1 infact PM me (;

As mentioned above check your wheel bearings. If its a rumble when come off the throttle and start to slow down its probably just a wheel bearing.

If you jack each wheel off the ground and put one hand at the front of the wheel at one at the back and pull with one hand and push with the other in a quick kind of motion you will feel a little bit of movement if there is a wheel bearing on its way out

TBH It is an alloy block the plug will come out no worries.

Love the colour

Whats the parking all about though

Won't effect emmission as its just the sound deadaning.

It may however get worse as it has abviously started to break down inside. It won't cause any damage but you may have to look at getting a new backbox in the future

Why am I NOT surprised....

Indeed TBH if the blacksmith would hurry up it would be fixed

^^^

Is that sticker wonky or is the line in the bodywork increasing in height towards the rear of the car?

Also am I the only one disappointed not to see an EJ20 in a ford puma?

Nope lewis exactly what i was expecting.

Is it just me that thinks ford Pumas look cool?

I would be inclined to speak to Alyn at AS pererformance. He will sort you out with disks and pads

Woo-hoo! Progress!

Think Ciaran RB5 might have a trailer.... not sure...

It's broke. White side trailers if you want to hire?

Based purely on my common sense, if you stall the turbo you've slowed the turbine speed, therefore to get back on boost you need to get the turbo spinning up again which requires exhaust gasses flowing through the turbo. This means you've got to wait for the revs to increase which in turn gets exhaust gasses flowing which then gets the turbine back up to speed and then you'll get your boost back.

Right we're on two different paths here. DV delete stalls the turbo and will cause lag all be it not very much.

To get "wastegate chatter" one just needs to get an induction kit and have the car mapped to suit.
