I was also up in St Andrews Sat-Wed just gone with the family and had the scooby with us too. Burbling around all my old haunts from when I was younger. Nice pic on the 18th fairway

Just suggested it to my facebook pals too .

Marko, If you've not got the room to keep the parts then DON'T just throw them out. There's not usually much money in OEM parts, but they always come in handy for fellow owners. Why not have a rummage through all your bits and post a list up in the for sale section?

Aha, a 1.5ltr turbo petrol flat-4 variant??? Could this be the engine for the Toyota/Prodrive entry into the revised regs and downsized capacity WRC for 2012???

Sorry Del, couldn't resist it. You're an easy target ;o)

Or a Prius....oh, wait a minute, Subaru have an awd version of that on their books already .

I wonder if that'll be with a car using the flat-4 based platform it's sharing with Subaru, or something of Toyota's??? It'll be interesting to see what takes shape

The only time I've ever had white smoke from any car was when my head gasket had blown? Try and get a picture of your smoking turbo bar and put up so we can have a look.

I always use the oil temp gauge as a marker for when to use boost safely.

It's not that you'll get pulled by the rozzers Franky, more like your engine lubricating oil has been diluted by the fuel that could be pissing into your engine.

And if you're on that road on Thursday evening, why don't you pop along to Kames and join us for a few laps around the track? Assuming it has been confirmed by then

I see it's also on iPlayer in case any of you miss it on Sunday .

Cheers Imy, will need to sky+ that for sure .

When you get the replacement seals Frankie, you MUST ensure that you smear some vaseline or oil on the seals prior to fitting so you don't damage them again!!!

I've got a load of Denso seals from topmount injectors you can try? Not sure if any will fit, but worth a go nonetheless? Did you manage to confirm that your #2 seal was goosed?

Just had a look at the ScotKart and Xtreme Karting websites. Both places do junior cadets from 8-10yrs. Minimum height restrictions of 4' 3" - which rules out my youngest (very lightweight and has no fear). Xtreme - £50 for three 1.5hr (One a month) sessions to qualify for being allowed to attend practice session with the older 10-15yr kids. ScotKart - £20 per 1.5hr session held every weekend morning 09:30-11:00. Also gets a cadet qualification. I'm going to look into it a little bit more, but looks like my oldest might be getting a bunch of lessons as part of her Birthday present in August.

My two girls are also wanting to try Karting, but maybe not a cadet series. Does anyone know the age restrictions for junior karts? Mine are aged 7 and 9 just now.

When I saw Frankie the other day it was also smelling of fuel whilst only idling, not so good . If it were me I'd be having a look at the injectors as soon as possible, and not driving it in the meantime. There's been a few nice machines that have caught fire recently (Split fuel rail for one of them) and wouldn't want this ending up as another statistic . P.S. Gimme a shout if you need a hand.

Echoing what Paul just said, and with it being a wrx I'd have to recommend sticking with the 16g TD05. Fit the correct supporting mods and get it mapped by Andy Forrest . The following has been taken from Andy's website for reference: http://www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk/58637.html Level 2 310-330bhp Full Decat or Sportscat exhaust from turbo back 2.5 or 3” bore Walbro 255 l/hr uprated fuel pump Apexi Induction system with resonator delete ESL custom live mapping of original ECU NGK PFR 7B uprated spark plugs High Flow multi spray fuel injectors 550cc (380cc std) Front mount intercooler MY 97 –00 map sensor (higher pressure rating)

Did you try out what I suggested the other night? Maybe even swapping your injectors over to see if it's stuck open?

Glad you're all sorted and out there enjoying it now

Great figures Kenny . See you on Saturday for a lap or two of Kames .

Try interparcel.com , and for heavy items use the interparcel economy option. It's actually UPS on a 48hr service and is always tops.

Especially as it's a newage STi then Andy Forrest is the way I'd go. Your TMIC is good for at least 400bhp, your gearbox will do for up to 600?? So at least if you go to around 340bhp on your existing setup, but with a panel filter and decat downpipe you'll be laughing, and so ready for your next upgrade upgrade of the turbo and injectors . (Only rough figures off the top of my head).

Good to meet you too, and to pick your brains about the wheels . I know, it's funny that??? There won't be a next time with this car. Gearbox being the limitinf factor, be as well going down the STi route again if wanting more, or a 6-spd classic .
