    Returning To The Fold :)

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    heard similar stories about stevie mate.... this wagon has defo been well looked after... she has a few faults..

    1. abs fault....last guy snapped it doing the coilovers... have a new one here as part of deal :)

    2. handbrake and seatbelt warning light constantly on??? if I select reverse both go out?? no sure what issue is but she has an hks turbo timer fitted which works spot on i.e. she'll auto decide what time to run etc based on how car is driven but when in timer mode I can let off handbrake and drive car till timer hits 0....... i'm thinkin that this is relative to the fault....??

    other than that she is a boost happy car.... spits and bangs...flameouts off boost when warm etc lol when on boost she just takes off like an animal..... to the extent where she makes you feel physically sick.... she's boosting 1.5 bar from 32-33- hundred revs and doesn't stop till u hit the redline.... defo the best scoob classic I've had yet :) last one had 8k spent on her in 30,000 miles got it from drumoyne but just felt laggy as hell and unresponsive....... was supposedly 320 brake but didn't feel it........ I swapped it for a mitsi gallant vr4 jdm import with proven 350 brake........ 0-60 6.4 secs and top speed 150 limited in 8 secs..... my wagon does 0-60 4.5 and off the speedo in the same time lol what i'm wondering is how do I tell what map is on ecu or for that matter what ecu is in my wagon?? as far as i'm aware she has apparently 400.... i'd say realisticly she has 320-340...possibly more any idea's or help available guys???

    but... she does have some issues.. :(

    1. seatbelt indicator and h/brake light are on when driving?? if you select reverse they both go out...neutral or any other gear..they are on???? any ideas guys??

    2. hks turbo timer will show voltage and work as normal as well as auto selecting time it should run.... but when the timers running you can you can remove the keys let of the handbrake and drive her till counter hits 0...?? is this connected with 1. ???

    3. snakehead has an 02 sensor behind turbo (4 pin plug with 3 pins usable and brand new) I also have the same wires (black and white) and brand new coming from under the manifold going towards drivers front lower body... does the 94 wrx have an 02 sensor in the manifold on the drivers side or possibly in the up-pipe?? and if the snakehead one is redundant can I use it to run an afr meter??

    thanks in advance guys :)

    I really like this car. Being a cat D wouldnt bother me in the slightest, you can see the amount of work that has gone into the car in the thread, it will be absolutely spot on, even if you came to sell it and anyone interested was worrying about it on cat D, the thread will always be there to read. I wonder how much it would cost to build another like it, would be much more than the asking price, much much more. Its all custom steel panels aswell, its a bargain! i dont think it will be for sale very long.

    :iagree: fact car is cat d goes for nowt now a days... more so when it has a comprehensive build file that shows full repair/mod history.....

    would defo have it.... not sure her indoors will feel same .. she's too busy with crimbo/new kitchen etc.... lol

    Advice - Rust / Corrosion Warranty

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    The anti-corrosion warranty is only valid if you have had the body warranty checks done and they were about £150 a time. Think they have to be done every 2 years.

    Look for the book to be stamped for this.

    B) most manufacturers have a part in the service book thats gotta be stamped up for corrosion inspections..... unfortunately if not then most won't be interested...
