Mornin dudes. Bummer Jim, can you not use an alternate pump? But then I assume it's a specific type, high pressure etc.

<< How come they had to meddle with the endtanks? >> Inlet & outlet were to high, pipe work would have gone throught the middle of the light pods. The core is not a hybrid one hence why it did'nt line up with hybrid pipework, but has better internals. Uppipe lagged and EGT probe fitted. In theory my next mod should work but might have to wait and see. I have not come across anyone using the OEM water spray on a front mount, probably as it wont make a big difference, but every little helps. And secondly because the spray jets leak as the tank is above the jets, thus gravity makes it leak. So one IC spray tank. 16mm joint & pipe. Pump & joint connected. Fitted to IC spray tank. By moving the pump to the front bumper and below the jets I hope to eliminate leakage, I don?t see why it shouldn?t work.

<< Main problem appears to be the Black & Silver ones (pre 1990 only) >> Never, the nerve of some people hey.

Good luck with the exams Jimmy dude. Typical hey Jim, there is always some git who's got nothing better to do than cause agro. Going to have to watch the speed bumps myself now, 20mm drop all round. And the most surprising thing is how much stronger the brakes feel! But the best bit is the back end don?t bog down when booting it, err sorry in my case, when you lightly press the accelerator.

<< Couple of questions dudes.................... If I were to get my hands on a flywheel, how much should I get skimmed off (father in law works at engineering firm and done one from a hillman imp). If I were to do this would it cure the constant judder I get when pulling off? What should the vertical camber be on the front wheels? Edited to add Dave you bling tart >> Dont know on the flywheel dude. Camber depends on your style of driving; I take it this is because of the outside edge going that you pointed out at the grandstand? In which case either 0 deg for neutral or as most alignment places in UK do is -1 deg. However I have read that toe in/out can cause wear on edges to. Best get alignment done, Fast Fit have the proper laser 4 wheel computer setup, but its £80.

Dudes, postman's been. K&N Filter Fuel Pump/Reg Gruppe S V2 Manifold And just to put the Filter in scale.

<< Besides - it's not going to make the car run any better whilst it still has this bloody error code! >> Mmmmm I believe SCP now have a diagnostic machine for Subaru, maybe this could help give you more info?
-
It is indeed an OEM flywheel that has been skimmed, I have to send my old one back when I fit this one. Just look under Excedy groupby on SN Jim, all details there, David from API said he's doing a batch of 5 a month so when your ready just add your name to the list. Dudes, the car got one over me today, went to fit the new springs got the top bolt off the hub but could I get the bottom one off, not a hope. Breaker bar would'nt even shift it, so going to have to get the garage to do it, as think a rattle guns is required. So instead fitted these. Pedals Cills And did the parallel fuel pipes, Parallel 1 Parallel 2 Parallel 3 Front mount intercooler is off the car to have the end tanks lowered ready for fitting in 14 days time!

Sweeeeeeeeet it's like christmas a steady flow of parcels have begun. Springs are here. Might fit these at the weekend to let them settle in time for alignment, but depends on the drinking this weekend. New Clutch & Lightweight Flywheel. The OE pipework under the manifold. Manifold 1. The mounting lugs. Manifold 2. After some filing it's all smooth. Manifold 3. And I smoothed out the casting joints whilst at it. Manifold 4.
