No problem. Where are the new ones from? Got a web link?

Awesome read! You selling your old lateral arms?

Awesome - I will have a bit of that!

Its the one on Ellon road.

:stupid: Thats my plan + MUCH cheaper IMHO

Looking good! away to start this soon myself. What make/model is the cage? did you drop it through the floor to weld the top?

I was about £1400 last year with 0 years NCB, garaged, 5k miles, 28 years old, v2 classic. Renewal came in at over £1450 with quick fit plus free MOT. Shopped around and got it down a bit, called Keith Micheals and they have got it down to £650 now moving my house insurence, business insurence and anything I can to them. Great service, great prices and the same person on the phone when you call back!

i am too slow!

So why not title the thread "Big thanks to Terzo Neil" rather than implying that he is being slagged off. This way you could thank him publicly and if he visits the forum he could see it. You state that few were quick to wish him well, this does not mean that people are not thankfull of his services maybe they just know they will still see him. There were in fact 5 people wishing him well etc in the thread. It seems that you have a massive bee in your bonnet about the site(or some people) although you seem to be an active member . If you dont like it, do something about it! Negativity like "If you are looking for a deeper meaning to this thread, it has about as much point as at least 50% of the threads on this site, so why shouldn't I post it?" gets us nowhere.

Not wishing to stir things up but I have no idea the relevance of this? I am sure that he is a nice guy, I am sure that he is a great help and has done so much for the Subaru community at large and will continue to. But who is slagging him off? What is the point of this thread? I was of the understanding that he was unhappy with the club and had decided himself to leave.

The powder is "stuck" on electrostaticly(not a word I know) and is then "baked" to cure the paint at about 200oC for usually 8 minutes (like a chicago town pizza). Sometimes they will pre heat the wheel to get a more uniform finish, that said this can lead to major runs in the paint due to excessive powder.

Mapping will sort it once I have a wide band and new ECU fitted. I am quite confident about the whole Link ECU thing. However, I am looking to get someone up to check the map (or remap if required). Oh and be ready for a phonecall of help to get the tubby out! - what? I don't understand?

It was just because there was so much soot yesterday it looked like oil. I panicked! I wont doubt you again lol :occasion14: :occasion14:

sounds like a faulty relay switch. Try changing it out.

After a quick look this morning I think that its just over fueling! Phew! Did not want to have to take the heads off at this point as I want to get stuck in with my new build.

I use Godspeed disks and pads on the back with godspeed disks and either DS3500 on the front or godspeed kevlar. Cant quibble at the price, the next day delivery or the quality!

Had a look last week and cant see any cut resistor and there is a space where a chip could go. Leads me to think that it is a mines ECU. Anyway, I have decided on the replacement ECU now and will be going with a link G4 Extreme. Its spec list is quite complete and it can be used on pretty much any engine with up to 8 cylinders and 16 injectors! Time to do some shopping around, will need to get some injectors, wide band lambda bosch knock sensor and MAP sensor at the same time. Spent this week relocating the battery and water bottle to the boot, used 0 Gauge wire just to be sure. Did a test fit and all works well. Now just need to paint up the custom brackets I made and wait until the boot is painted to mount it all permanantly. Today I removed all of the sound deadening in the rear half of the car in super quick time. I also gave the car new oil and filter. I think something is up though as it looks like I have oil coming through to the exhaust. Makes me think I have either a goosed turbo or leaking stem seals. Will nip the turbo off this week and take a peek. I am looking for another set of heads to get ready for my next engine build also need a CDB so if anyone has either please let me know.

What he said!

300 out of a tank! I wish! best I have EVER had was 200!

Thank fook I paid extra for a single room!

Think that's the way forward and if I get a major sized hole(oooh eeer) then I am sure someone will have a spare I can borrow. Non yet but looking at cutting out the whole boot floor and replacing with a sheet of either carbon fiber or alloy. I plan on fitting a huge diffuser thingy eventually (not before fling).

I find many people saying that it can be reversed but no definative instructions or reasons. I think I will reverse it or get another ecu(anyone got one?). Might explain the overfueling and high emissions. Spent tonight sanding down my dash and using a little bit of bondo on the low bits. Will do a bit more work on that tomorrow and hopefully get it ready for a test fit. Carl Davey popped over tonight with a set of injector seals and spacers as I had lost one of the spacers that sit below the filter. Got that fitted and topped up fluids ready for a test start tomorrow. Had another look at the wiring and decided its probably best to put the battery in the boot now. I have some 4guage audio cable but need to check if its up to the job before I go any further. Research time!

Anyone going to have room for my spare wheel?

The UPS is connected to a small 12v SLA battery and takes a power feed from the cars battery. If I turn on the car computer without the engine on the UPS senses that the input voltage is less than 13v so uses the smaller battery to power the computer. Once the car is started it senses the voltage is above 13v so runs from the car battery and charges the SLA battery. What makes it really trick is I have set it up to start up when the cars ignition is on and then if the cars ignition is switched off the computer will go into standby mode. It will stay in standby mode for 15 minutes, if you return and turn the ignition back on it will wake up, if you are longer than 15 minutes it will do a full shut down. If the ignition is off and the SLA battery is lower than 10.5 volts the car computer will also shut down. The cars battery is not sufficient as just a few start/stops around town is enough to cause issues. When testing this I had to carry a spare battery and jump leads.

Had some free time today so decided to make a bracket to hold the computer in place and work out the wiring for the UPS (uninteruptable power supply). I also had a look into relocating the main battery to the boot. Think I will make a custom loom for the engine bay from 300A 2gauge wiring and a 3way distribution block. Anyone else done this? Hope to get the dash finished and painted this week so I can test out the computer. Here are some pics for now:
