If you're desperate you could get a filter and washer off of me tomorrow and replace it when you have a bit more time. I've got some spare oil too but don't know if it'll be your brand.

Hmmmmm, nice. Light the blue touch paper and hold on tight Simon.

380 on a small turbo? Nuff respect [Y]

Stunning Kenny, a real credit to you. Now don't be afraid to use it and abuse it.

With similar power goals I went for the twin. You can get single plates that will cope with that power/torque but they can be a pig to live with. If the car is a weekend toy it's not such a concern but if you'll be using it on the road a fair bit then I'd spend the extra money and get the best I could afford.

The noise you're describing is not wastegate chatter as such and will not disappear when remapped either. What is now happening is you have a much bigger intercooler and masses of pipework which is all under pressure when on boost. When you lift off the pressure tries to push it's way back out of the turbo as it is no longer cramming air into the system. The noise you describe is the air being forced the wrong way through the turbo and is called comprssor stall. It's extremely common on cars with fmics and because nearly all fmic cars have induction kits it's nice and easy to hear it too.

You might want to re-phrase that my bushy tailed amigo, someone could get their wires crossed.

Is it from a dodge viper?

Well done Cal and Mrs Cal, that's great news. As for top tips.... Go round your house and take loads of pics as it'll never look the same way again. Ever. Phone someone, anyone, and enjoy the fact that you can actually hear what the other person is saying instead of a little person climbing all over you saying "DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD, DAD". Put on a pair of shoes safe in the knowledge there isn't a surpise in it, jam sandwich anyone? Watch a WHOLE tv programme. Rejoice in that fact you can't name all of the backyardigans or know all the words to the fifi and the flowertots song. (It's quite catchy actually) Above all, resign your self to the fact that you've went right down the pecking order in your own home and have effectively become your wifes/childs b!tch. I could go on but don't want to spoil all the surprises.

In fact, for my money I'd be looking for something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza-WRX-S...1QQcmdZViewItem It's got more than a couple of rough edges but that'll keep the price down. Then use the money you saved and give it the full on "Mac Attack" treatment. It'd be a one off thats for sure and if you're going to pull it apart anyway it'd be a shame to start with a minter.

Yo're half right Peter, you used to be able to get a mafsim upgrade for apexi on the classics. Andy has said that he's is considering not supplying them any more. If you want to go mafless on a classic you may need another ecu.

Unbelievable work Kenny, you really need to think about changing jobs as you could defo do this for a living. The quality of the custom parts looks outstanding, better than shop bought. The only thing id be concerned about is the position of the maf. Are you not going to have turbulance issues with it being so close to the filter?

I rememer the car you're talking about from one of those High Octane dvd's. Though Andy's taste for the Binliners only stretched to the 34's though.

R34?

I doubt they'd be up for fast road use, more for your joe bloggs family wagon. Besides, something tells me every time you go back to get them replaced they'd find you need some new discs, exhaust, tyres or some other bullsh!t.

Psssss, you didn't get this from me right. [:$] 0141 848 5257

99 and 2000 cars are infamous for blowing maf sensors. This can casue all sorts of misfires/judders and blown engines. Have a look in the faq section on how to do a recu reset and see if it shows a cel error.

Question - how did the windows get that steamed up?

I'd appeal that James, should be based on the date of manufacture in my opinion.

They were both male strippers in a go-go bar?

I think opinions will change when the new model comes out. Yes the current newage has many advantages over the classic. It is much stiffer, safer and a nicer place to be if used as an everyday car but will the 08 not be even stiffer, safer etc etc. Where will that leave the current newage? Look at mkI, II and III escorts. What would rather have?

Any chance of a link, my supplier is all tapped out.

Deadly serious, do the classic's kick ar$e or are they past it? Let's look at the evidence, Classic : WRC championship winner - Fact Claasic: Lighter - Fact Classic : Cheaper (than most newages anyway) - Fact Classic : Faster - Fact Classic : Better looking - Fact Opinions

Well done Craig, now you are free to buy a "real" subaru. Whats the plan mate?
