  2. That will probably only need about half a litre of oil to get it back to the top mark You did check it with the car level and not on your driveway
  3. A STi intercooler is about 50% bigger than the WRX one, it will help to keep your inlet temps down (the cooler the air the better), think there are a couple for sale on Scoobynet at the moment It's also advisable to get a STi bonnet scoop as well so more air is getting to the intercooler [Y]
  4. Check mine every week, in a perfect word it should not use any oil so is yours burning oil yogi
  5. Just out of interest, is that still on the standard WRX bottom end & gearbox
  6. We better make sure you win then
  7. They look like this, except you can't have the name Granby even though you have a silver wagon []
  8. I didn't [A]
  9. Hope you check you computer regularly for adware & spyware now Shiralee now you have installed smiley central []
  10. Except for me, i'm a right dodgy geezer LMOA [] Yep [] []
  11. Welcome Andy, if you've been reading through the forum then you know we are all sane on here []
  12. You don't know what you've let yourself in for []
  13. Hello and welcome mate [Y], yet another wagon [] we're taking over []
  14. Nope but i'm off the weekend
  15. Thats quality Baz []
  16. Nice one Tony. Possibly 2 little 'uns with me as well, so four of us in total. Might not know definitely until nearer the time - is that a problem? Well done Tony [Y] One of the little 'uns can go with me if you want Lee
  17. 2000 that's no problem as it can be remapped Well it all depends on how far you want to go Barry, do you want to fully decat it by getting rid of the downpipe cat (that would mean getting a cat section fitted everytime you went for a MOT) but you know that can be sorted or you could get a sports cat downpipe.
  18. What year is your car Barry You could have it mapped at anytime, but if you were thinking of doing some more mods then it would be better to get them done first then get it remapped
  19. I'd say you pretty much got the mods sorted out 1. Up pipe - I'd definitely change this as it has a pre cat in it and I've heard that these can break up and if it does it's bye bye turbo 2. I'd go for OE ported headers, i had mine done by Harvey Smith harveysmith1@btopenworld.com but i believe API engines http://www.apiengines.com/index3.php do them as well but they are not on the website, they will improve the spool up of the turbo which basically means the turbo will start to boost earlier 3. Samco hoses, not really necessary apart from the turbo to intercooler pipe because the standard one will probably split when the boost is increased when remapped 4. TMIC, advisable to change it but don't go for one of the cheap ebays jobs, try and find a STi intercooler and as long as you get the pipework with it it's a straight swap 5. K & N panel filter, or green panel filter, don't really think there much difference in them but the green filter seems more popular 6. Uprated fuel pump, not 100% necessary but it's worth changing it anyway 7. Remap, there are many (Andy F - Zen Performance to name just 2) but i personally use Bob Rawle (if hes good enough for Roger Clark motorsport then hes good enough for me) but you could also try Jolly Green Monster who has remapped Dunks, Deani_age & Daniels cars, as to cost it can be anywhere from £400 to £600 depending on whether they use the EcuTek software or something similar but it's well worth the money Clutches & Gearbox's, I'm currently running 333bhp & 325ft lbs torque with the standard clutch & gearbox, the clutch is fine as long as i don't launch and even then it doesn't slip but it does smell a bit but i think i will be changing it soon just to be on the safe side, they say the gearbox is good for around 300bhp & torque so really mine should be playing up but as yet I've had no problems with it (that will be the kiss of death for it now) If you need anymore info please don't hesitate to ask [Y] Ian
  20. And there was me thinking it was only going to be a temporary thing [] [] Oh yes welcome aboard Baz [H]
  21. why? it was bad enough having to accommodate the one silver car ( a wagon as well!) []............photographers transport excluded. at you both
  22. Nice figures Trevor [Y], roll on the remap []
  23. You have now
  24. The switch came with the kit so i have no idea
  25. I'm sure Pele or Loony Toon will be able to sort them out for you and anyone else that wants some
