FUTHER UPDATE FOLKS, nodles subaru in penicuik ran the wireing diagnostic , yesterday , looks like i still wont have the car back . they phoned this morning to say there is a wire somewhere in the wireing sumthing sumthing, and engine sumthing, was a voice message on the girlfreinds phone could barely hear. they dont know exactly where the loose wire is , but are going to have to remove the engine and head gasket and look for it before they can fix it , just glad im not paying for this . think evans halshaw in edinburgh is waiting to get permision from evanshalshaw in rotheram to let nobles go ahead with the work as they have to cover the cost of it all .... quick update / just edit this now. got a phonecall from paul evans halshaw edinburgh , he says according to nobles ,its a trapped wire in the wireing loom , causing an injector problem which is sending an incorect pulse to the injector , nobles thinks the previous owner has tried modding the engine and when they have taken off the intercooler and turbo and put it back together they have caught a wire somewhere, so nobles are going to have to strip the top of the engine to find the problem and fix it, which is roughly 3hours work but they cant go ahead with the work until evanshalshaw rotheram give evans halshaw portobello authorisation to go ahead with the work as they pay for it , so portobello halshaws waiting on a phonecall from rotheram dealership manager MICHAEL BOLTON ( yeah that is his name) lol to get back to them so they can inform nobles to give them the go ahead to start . personaly i dont see why they need the eprmision as its all one dealership , and they should just say go ahead and they send the bill to rotheram , and as ive said previous the only mod i can think of is a turbo timer being fitted , unless thats standard , but to me it looks like an aftermarket mod , as the timer in the dash dosnt look like its been put in too well and not suited properly for a scoob

lol cheers for the edit, just did a double take and realised i put seaton , in the words of his yellow eternal greatness "DOH"!!!

port seaton performance.......

lol , looks liek your getting the thumbs up andy , i didnt know much of the differences between you and teh prodrive , hence the reason for the thread

just a wee update, nobles ooked at the scoobaru on thursday ran the diagnostic, said there was some wiring issues, so their dealing with that , then going to run another diagnostic on monday, and hopefuly get her back monday or tuesday , as im off tue and wed and want to getthe rest of the rally decals put on

too much time on his hands id say lol, best bit about that was the video at the end with those roads which id luv to have a go on , thats like these folk who have put a 200mph+ hyabusa engine in a smart car should see it when it races a ferrari and leaves it standing !!!!!!!! would rather have that

yeah you bbq lot are a pain in the a*** making my day that much harder, having to make 2000+ burger roles

do you mean not to hold it at 100mph after getting the mods or , holding it at 100mph as standard, because i do like the bypass all the way down to eyemouth and the old hyundia coupe handle a constant 110mph all the way down numerous times

its a wrx sti type uk 2003 model , blob eye i think you call it

well its a wrx sti type uk i have, and im just looking to make it a little quicker, but not so much that it drinks the fuel more than it already does lol as its standard the now , but just to up the top speed a little and give it more accelaration of the line, and so it picks up speed alot quicker

dont wana seem like im hijacking again , but just found couple pics a few of you may like

so the ppp is £2,000 , and andy's was £1876 was that a stage 1 uprgrade, or more?

just considering either getting the ppp put in the car or an upgrade from andy forrester, wonder what people would recomend, or sudjest. price,value for money, gain in power, overall preformance increase, fuel costs, any help would be great folks, its an 03plate no warrenty

bit undecided about it, maybe see it in person id change ,

nice p1 there

cheers cruz104 apreciate the info

cool grant , like i said it was a different subaru i was intrested in and emailed them about and they jus got back to me the other day about ti , and your talking like a month or so ago i emailed them and thats them just geting back to me now, but i found my first scooby on evans halshaw site,

dont mean to hijack this thread and hope itt doesnt seem like i am or that im trying to , but while on the subject of tyres, may i ask what and if anyone has any opinion on nitrogen filled tyres instead of normal air filled, i have a cosco membership card and was at the cosco up at next to ikea in edinburgh ,loanhead area, and in their tyre section they were advertisng filling your tyres with nitrogen instead of air, saying they last longer etc etc , but didnt see a price and never heard of anyone having their tyres filled with it before, so as i said dont mean to hijack but anyoen had any experience with filling your tyres with the stuff?

used to be on borrowed time but havent sped since getting my subaru , but its been in the workshop for a month nearly now, and cant exactly speed in a 1.0 micra

cldnt tell you what the mileage is grant , they only got back to me with etails about a different scooby that i was looking at about a month ago just before i got my wrx sti you cld always email them to ask.

YEAH ID BE UP FOR IT , my car should and better be back from getting fixed by then lol and as ive missed out on the event up at knockhill last weekend and cant make the event this weekend as the motors still in the garage getting fixed , so would defo be up for going to this . still looking to ge my first event under my belt

cheers hightower , well so far they say their handing it up to nobles to get all the parts ordered and diagnosed, havent driven down to the dealership to see if its still sitting out the back , or if its already been taken up to nobles, dont think i wana go look, but they have a week to get it sorted and back to me, but means im missing my first meet with all you site members up at knockhill, on the 22nd, as its too late to putmy name down and i dunno if il have the car back by then , so gues im waiting until the next edinburgh meet or maybe the scottish modified at highland centre, if they dont have the car back to me this time next week , they will have had the car for a month to do an electric front window switch and diagnose the engine management light , which they said is going up to nobles subaru in penicuik asap. for them to do everything, but liek i said if its not back, then il be wanting the area managers number of evans halshaw for edinburgh ,and think trading standards will be a must aswel, seeing how i was sold the car stating there was nothing wrong with it other than stone chips that were also supposedly to be sorted by their guys in rotheram where the car was purchased and delivered up to edinburgh , but think i will go to ultimate shine that i saw on here work looked very good see if i can get some prices and let him work his magic . sucks going from a 2litre wrx sti type uk, to a 54plate nissan micra, only good thing is a tank of petrol is lasting about two weeks as apposed to about 6days not doing my street cred any good though , being 6ft 5 , and driving a micra, that has nice pink fluffy bits in it and a blue dolphin hanging from the rear veiw mirror
