Is there any way of getting the photos back on this thread as it was a very good write up.

Chris

His whole write up was published as an article on scoobypedia (includes all pics). See link in a few posts above.

@Vimmy, As well as being published in TrueGrip your final HID install in Classic article is now published on Scoobypedia:

I have to say, you've done a great job with this article. Well done mate.

Welcome to SIDC. That's a nice looking car mate. Like the colour too - although I would ;-)

Hi Steve, I'd be up for that, my HID's are going in a Classic and Stu's in a Newage so that should cover the install for the majority of cars, I would think. I started taking snaps of the gear you get but they turned out poor so I'll take some more tonight and put down some words to the photos. I have found places to put al the kit in the engine bay, so that in theory wont take long to put it, the time spent is in documenting it

@Vimmy, As discussed I've published a draft in progress article, for the HID Xenon Light Installation (Classic), from the great information you've authored and sent me to date here:

http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/HIDXenonLightInstallationClassic

Just let me know as and when I help further.

--Steve.

P.S: If anyone else fancies tackling a Scoobypedia article for the SIDC like vimmy has just let me know.

... is it advisable to renew the tensioner as a precaution??.

Yes, I always get the tensioner done too.

... one dealer is telling me the spark plugs get replaced with this service and another dealer is telling me its the next??

Spark plugs are changed at 60K miles for your car (assume it's a UK or Euro car).

--Steve.

This sounds good, as you say to have classic and newage HID writeup will be great.

The gauge install looks great too. Think I can see another 'project' page for that too!

Just send me what you have (I'll pm you both my email) and I'll create the initial page(s). Don't bother with formatting I'll sort that.

Vimmy, Stu, Sounds like an interesting install you both are going. I'd be happy to publish an article on Scoobypedia for you guys to maintain if you took a few pics and a little text. Just let me know. -Steve.

If you want mate a little link to my web site would be fantastic as well

Finally got round to publishing your article on Scoobypedia. Take a look here:

--Steve.

Very interesting - never seen a car washed so many times ;-)

If you want I'd be happy to convert your write-up and pics into an article on Scoobypedia. Let me know and I'll take care of it.

-Steve.

A worthy addition to Scoobypedia if this does work me thinks!!!

Graeme,

Good idea. Here it is :-)

I've included two solutions from the various forum suggestions.

--Steve.

There are a few notes on Scoobypedia (see link below), however this is not a complete how-to yet. I did it for my slightly mod'ed MY00 Classic a while back. No noticeable performance gain and a whole lot of extra turbo sounds from the engine bay. I didn't do it again for my newage.

As above what's involved in removing the inner wing resonator box, any parts needed or is it just a case of juggling about what's already there.

To be honest, that sounds more like 'fuel cut' to me mate - over boosting in the cold weather causing ECU to cut fuel until boost drops, then repeats...

Mines doing exactly the same, I'll be cleaning mine tomorrow as well I think. Also dies on the dualler in 5th when you put your foot to the floor to overtake. then picks up then dies then picks up then dies you get the picture.

My cel light came on last week, I had just fueled the car then stopped off at a shop, the car was warmed up and I gave it blast in second gear (6000rpm) after I left the shop and the light came on, took it back to dealer and they said it was throwing up an o2 sensor fault. They reset it and no problems since. The dealer told me it can be a common fault when you fill the car up fully, never happened on my wrx so I will wait and see incase its a faulty sensor.

iain, recommend you change dealers if they are giving you that advice. What mods have you got?

can anyone tell me were the speed sensor 2 is located on a classic my car through a cell light and it reads this sensor the speedo still works and the trip computer works fin any ideas guys what it could be cheers scoobzie

Is it sensor number 7 here: http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/Sensors

OBD CEL light came on today on my 52 plate wrx. my heart absolutely sank then i realised its prob cause of my recent visit to meercat. has anyone else with a decat system got this light coming on. if so, is there a fix. how do i turn it off as i feel like ive broke my baby lol.

oh and do you reckon thats what it is? and if so, does that mean it will be over fueling as my mpg sucks lol

This is very common especially if you have a decat downpipe. Scoobypedia has a couple of relevant articles (see links below). What ever you do, the first thing is to read the fault code to see what you are dealing with - guessing will only be costly in the long run.

seano,

The 'cut-to-the-chase' instructions are here: http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=105985

And the more detailed instructions are here: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-install/60...-fuel-pump.html

I've got it on my to-do's list to add as a Scoobypedia technical article.

-Steve.

What tools do i need to fit a fuel pump to a 2006 sti, and does anyone have any other advice on doing the job apart from dont smoke

Can anyone advise me if i can do this at the moment on my p1 i have standard 0z alloys with pirrelli p zero assimetrico tyres the sizes are

205/45 r17 zr ww

can i put 215/45 r17 or 225/45 r17 tyres on the wheels and what difference will it make the only reason i ask is i can get the 215/45 s at a great offer price on either toyo tyres or pirelli p zero rosso tyres.

H4AFY, you can adjust tyre sizes however you'll have to do some research. Note you can't simply change to sizes you mention above as you'll be changing the rolling circumference of the wheels thus making your speedo inaccurate. As a rule, if you increase the width of your tyre (e.g. 205) you'll need to reduce the profile (e.g. 45). Again seek advice from a trusted specialist as they can advice on handling issues also.

If you're interested I found a tyre conversion chart on the following web site that demonstrates what I've said above.

P.S: I have no connection with the above company.

soapy, I agree with the above. Mine has done it (MY03 WRX) ever since the cooling system was drained and refilled during a major service. It has been done again since and still does as you explain. Now out of warranty, my _trusted_ after market specialist says it is very difficult to get rid this minor air lock in the heater matrix. Still really annoying though :-(
