might of read on my other post i was going to do a swap with a sti but due to the serious clunking i decided against it only on full lock slow though !!,, i seen the bloke today in his garage just up the road he waved so i drove in, guess what he has sorted the problem took it to subaru the drained to oil and sorted it now he wants to no if i still want to do a deal with mine and 2500k !! its a my05 blob uk spec sti 35k its done. do i put the money in taht and get bhp i yern for or 1500 to 1800 in mine thats done 62k to get the bhp i give 6k for mine at a garage that failed to give me the service history they promised.. my heads up my jacksy give me help lads !!!!! .Got this from your turbo thread a change of gear oil won't sort serious clunking .Its a strip down and find out whats causing it and repair .Was this a private buy or dealer .It won't be cheap fixing dccd centre diff or sourcing a second hand 6 speed uk/euro sti box

cheers dipsy,, as above i give 2500... told the man about problem he offered to give me 1k back to help towards cost found a box 6 speed only thing is its not dccd so the dccd wont work in the car, am not really bothered the dccd is a load of b******s waiting to go wrong why would u want to shift the power around am not 17 wanting to do rings in the car park.. so 1700 fitted.. cant find a box anywre mate either i could get my box thats coming out repaired and sell on as they are worth a few quid as the rally cars use them so just thinking at the min about what to doo..

http://apiengines.com/ .Give this company a call if you have never heard of them do a search on scoobynet

bit far away am in the north east of england,, do they rebuild your old box...thay hard to find with the dccd

centre diff has gone i have 05 blob sti .. any ideas were i can get the full thing will i need the gearbox and diff or is it the complete thing as one ??

yes clunks on both settings, been to lcal mechanic he says its the front diff,, so took it to another garage they think its wheel bearing so now i have a sweat on thinking its the diff till thursday when subaru are going to have a look, if its the diff it will be getting garaged as i cant afford to put it right again,, what signs would you get if it were the front diff and how unlikely do you think it is..

Probably sticking rear shocks then, 05 STi? Search for it - common fault.

if it were anything major baz would the power not be there just was worried if it was out major?? 05 sti blob it is fella

its defo coming from the front though the clunk

all the time when rolling up to junctions clunk clunk clunk at around 2 mph or really slow. sometimes on full lock either way although usually on right hand turns.

car clunks at very slow speeds like 2 mph, and also turning, i no a lot on here say its what they doo with the dccd, is there any cure i.e new drive shafts new bearings ???? as ino a lad has a 05 sti blob same as me and his is fine.. any help would be greatful..

its defo coming from passanger side.. been to drag strip today in york, power is fine no problems just the whine noise from that side,,?? could it be a drive shaft?? its as soon as i pull off through gears and back down

its mainly when driving its defo not engine noise sounds from wheels just got car, and noticed cheap tyre on back, sounds more like a hum noise when driving from start up too speed mate any ideas sure the diff oils have been done..

just got my sti am getting to the point were i der not drive it.. today i have noticed a wining (drone) noise when i drive as if its electric, its clunking on some manouvers i doo and just noises here and there, the gear box is fine and the power is perfect straight line no problems... but now it seems am waiting for something to go bang. should they be noisy like this. just sick of the motor i always wanted!! its a MY05 blob sti with dccd

so shouldnt have no problems fitting that mate of the wrx to my sti??.. the black one i broke is 100 from subaru

will this one also fit its a wrx header or are they diffrent.. its close to me thats all

yes mate thats the one !!

i need a header tank for me car mine is black and all the ones on the salvage yards are silver ahhhhhhhhhhh

mines diffrent to that all post a picture soon

my header tank pipe snapped on my sti blob on a 05 totally sick need a new one soon as 100 from dealer any were cheaper ??

got my blob wrx sti on a 05 seems sound plenty of power its a import but unsure of its original origon, done a swap with my wrx blob on a 03 and cash for the sti, took my old full stainless off will it fit the sti?? its a full stainless..

around 290-300 but a few more mods in mind yet.

excedy are a good clutch and should cope with that power fine fella

what bhp you pushing?

will a jap import blob sti hold its money to a uk type, or are they usaull the same? cheers dave

pick the car up tomo looking forward to getting fingers crossed it will be sound motor,, not looking forward to handing my car over and 2.500k and paying it back to the bank then again i no some pple who pay a packet on monthly car instalments hope its worth it my test and tax is due on mine as well so swapped it just in time

how well will it hold its money a my05 sti blob 35k on clock? just putting figures togther for i doo swap

done that to me mate, garage was suppost to forward service in from previous keeper no luck me cars not worth a light without it

supposed to be 280bhp ut will be more like 290ish

thanks stealth
