Julian WRX MY93

I know all about the grin factor....... lol

13 years this year I've had K91 YRN........

As title!

My trusty classic MY93 (308bhp on the last rr day) has been sat in my front garden unloved for 2 years now, i think i need to start loving it again!!!!!!

Or maybe just even wash it to get all the green off it from the gaps etc!

Silver was always the fastest colour!

Nice...........

But silver will always be the fastest colour...........

i wish i got that much out of mine.............

Oh! Thank G*D it's not just me! *lol*

???????????????

the old fashoned way is sometimes the best way..............

ive had my import for 11 years.......

fantastic...........

i was going to say stem seals........

i had an escort years ago and that used to do the blue smoke on start up thing.

but changed the stem seals and it cure it........

just doing the stem seals on a 'bru is going to be a pig with the engine in.........

look on the 22b forum lots of tech info over there........

hell yeah. 11 years nearly i've had mine.

but the head gaskets have gone at the mo.

it runs but as soon as you increase the boost it pressurises the cooling system. just haven't had time to fix it....

home made bio diesel for my astra...............

untill the 'bru gets fixed..................

Err, no. It just happened to be where the link was copied from I would imagine.

What's happened is:

Phil stood down after 10 years dedicated to the club. It put to the vote and STi_Pretender was voted in as the new chairman. At the same point, empty committee roles were filled to support the running of the club.

Off the back of that, members packs have been expanded and fees reduced. All good from where I'm sitting

Well you need to pay to get in the members area is what i ment.

And the info i wanted is in there (or was).

So YES i would've had to pay to find out............

I'm great fella.........

just dont have that thing called time much theses days...........

So i hope they are looking after your baby for you!

So i need to PAY to find out whats happend?????????????????????

NO WAY.......................

Things HAVE changed..........................

Hasn't it just.

Whats gone on?

Where's Phil etc..........

i need updating, i feel out of the loop!

my headgasket(s) have gone on mine. but its not mixing oil and water.

Its leaking pressure from the cylinders in to the coolant system.

But if i turn the boost down and drive like a granny its ok. but as soon as you start to give it some, the water start bubbling over.

Head gaskets can be had from anywhere from 80 pound for the pair upwards depending on what you want. It is possible to do them with the engine in, but most remove it so its a costly job.......

I'm going to do mine myself, when i get space on my drive ( and fixed the head gasket on my galaxy!) plenty of step by step guides how to remove the engine and do the head gaskets on s/net.

So to sum up!

If you do it your self it will be about £100 for the gaskets, £50 to get the heads skimmed, £40 for a cambelt,plus usual stuff like oil and filter etc, and 2 days off the road.

If you do put the engine, do the clutch (i just changed the drive plate last time for about £60) at the same time cos thats an engine out job as well..........

The switch will only light up with your side lights on (sorry if you already knew that).

Mine fog light switch is on the left hand side of the steering wheel, there are a couple of blank spaces there for switches......

Speand 5k and keep 3k for the mods.............

Go to your local motor factors and see if they can send it off to be recon'd. but been ok ever since

I had mine done a few years ago, can't remenber how much it was sorry.

Things come off impreza's quite easily. Remember its a rally car and needs quick fixes between stages.

I took the engine out of mine once, and that only two 2 hours, and never done one before........

If you handy with the spanners, and have a decent asortment then dismaltling will be no problem.

Subaru's have always been a bit erm 'rough' on the finish but the reliabilaty is faultless.

i see people are still as witty as ever.....................

what do you mean by high miles?

My MY93 shows 170k on the clock and still makes over 300 bhp.......

depends how many miles you've done, and what mod's you have, and how oftern you change your oil....

A standard engine with a few miles on it will be happy with just a semi 10/40w.....

I use a fully synth 5/30w and made 308bhp, but also change it every 2000miles.....

There a lot of conflicting views on oils and which type to use etc.

The oil debate will go on forever, with evryone thinking that they are right......

Just looked and i've been here for over 6 years........

Wheres all the people gone who used to be on here???????
