    Welcome to the site 👍

     

    You need a shit 💩 wing 🤣LOL 

    I think 01-06 saloons are the same although the boot lids may differ  

    out resident expert @The Don

    will put me right. 
     

    most would go for  the spec C RA/ RA-R carbon fibre one but rare are rocking horse 💩 probably more expensive than buying a new  Aftermarket one. 
     

    regards

    NEW CLUTCH

    in General Subaru Discussion

    Hi All,

    As you all well know I’ve dealt with AP, RCM, Litchfield motors, Im,Subaru Uk, Prodrive,,TSL power stations, Fuji Racing, Exeddy, Samco, Perrin  and Rally Armour and never ever been so shabbily treated as by this “Competitive” clutch company 

    I purchase a heavy duty clutch and matching flywheel. This was a USA supplier but apparently is based in UK and prominently sells on EBay and most performance car websites.
    okay reasonable price at  £900-1000 for clutch and lightweight flywheel etc my Type 25’s. I fitted it in my “new” engine April 2023  IMG_1034.thumb.jpeg.e22111c69e763a897d7ef8cf24166aae.jpeg

    because of an oil pressure issue with the “new” engine  I decided to take it out and overhaul my old engine at approximately 400miles. 
     

    swapping over all the parts, didn’t seem an issue untill the clutch was removed. The flywheel seemed to only be worn/bedded in  on 50%, one half of flywheel 🙀

     

    I thought it was prudent to contact eBay seller and ask if this was common or is there an issue that needs addressing as 4-500 miles covered. For a Subaru enthusiast having replaced 8 clutch li last 23 years the wear seems mighty strange.!!!!
     

    but I would of course take the advice of the experts if they said the wear was normal. No problem refitting. 
     

    Although would be the cheapest opportunity to change now as no further costs were incurred if and parts were swapped now. Compared with 3months time. As you can see by pictures looks abnormal to me  

     

    50% of flywheel shows some wear/ use. 
    the other 50% shows no touching and unused at all🤬

     

    sadly the seller on eBay and the company on Facebook haven’t responded to my emails or messages  

    I was really looking for some advice but seems like they are completely uninterested in customer service within the UK. Seems that They want to take your money and run  looking after ther home market  

     

    Regards

    Hi there, new STI member

    once warm 👍
     

    Put one switch down with no throttle , in gear clutch down,  put throttle flat to floor and should only get max 5kpm Pops and bags (depending on what was set)  once you drop clutch and take off normal driving  then switch off. Or when you stop will restart again

     

    the other switch down with no throttle,  and pop and bang when rev past boost and take foot off throttle. (Most commonly used) The happens all the time you take foot off throttle untill you switch it off. Good sound but eventually a Turbo killer  

     

    you can either switch anti lag or Launch control on or caution can have both on at same time

    Thanks for that, don't suppose there is any way I could work out which one does which ?

    Launch control limits revs to 4-5krpm whilst stationary, & popping banging, once you car starts moving, normal throttle resumes 

    anti lag
    After Engine in gear over 4krpm (on boost) take foot off throttle quickly and  pops and bangs exhausts on  engine overrun

    Thanks for that, I don't think it has the PPP, as far as I was told when I bought it it has an exhaust change and a blow off valve, with a map printout showing 325bhp, there are two switches on front of the dash under the light adjuster, don't know what these do but when I accidently switched them both down once and  it wouldn't tick over less than 2500rpm. !!

    Normally One is anti lag and other launch control. 
     

    normsly with remap and exhaust is 340-350 ish

    Hi everyone.  I recently bought a 2016 Gen. 4 Impreza Sports AWD  1.6L NA with a MT  as my 1991 Mini Carb Cooper is starting to ask for a rest during the snowy winters here in northern Japan.     It seems the 4th Gen. 1.6 MT is quite rare here since only a few hundred sold as manual drivers bought WRX/STIs and everyone else bought CVTs.   I don't mind slightly underpowered cars with a high revving short stroke engines so we'll see how it goes.    May be posting soon for advice on intake, exhaust, stabilizers or other minor mods if I can't find my answers in existing posts.  

     

    Welcome to the club :D 

    Its normally quiet on here really until february 😉

    Hello all, Just checking back as it's been a while. 


    I still have the P1. (Tucked up under cover) However I now have a 2016 WRX STi as a more friendly on off daily. 
    Any of the old lot (Or new) still around?

    very nice, bet you still had the p1 as they are a small fortune now

    And still quiet here this time of year 😉
