Knocking appeared again tonight, but went as soon as the car got upto temp. Piston Slap??? Or maybe something less servere, like the Oil is knackered and not oiling all the tappets fully, until warm. So a knock that only appears at night, hmmm, solution... don't drive at night lol. Maybe it's scared of the dark. Anyone need a set of brand new coils, tested by API on the 16th of April. £235, £220 for KS members.

Oil is due a change at the end of the month, Should be able to see then. David@API says i'll need about 5k for a 2.5 conversion, so don't think i'll be bothering with that lol. But am thinking of getting a newer style sti engine with forged internals maybe. I've decided to either go the whole way, and get the front entry turbo, along with simtek. Or get rid of the car, and go newer. I might even put the coil packs up for sell soon, not even been near the car, or out the box, so would exepect almost what i paid.

Going to put the coils packs in a safe place, ready for my next engine i think. I have no faith in this anymore, it doesen't feel strong at all, if i start modding with my current plans, i am certain it will go pop. The thought of trading it in for something newer, isn't far out of my mind.

Tested the car today, it sounds fine, holding back by masses (haven't taken it to boost), but seems to run fine. Thinking maybe it was detting on some bad fuel, or it's developed a piston slap. When i got home last night/this morning, i was absolutly sure the car was dead. The noise was just like someone hitting a spanner against the block. Very loudly, louder than the exhaust. Still going to save for a new engine, i've had enough of this one.

I was thinking the same thing. I've heard a scooby with bearing failure, and it's sounds exact. On the plus side, my spanking new coil packs turned up just a minute ago.

90% sure that my engine is at the end of it's life. Last night whilst driving home from work, it decided to develop a mega loud knock. The knock was coming from the cylinder next to the turbo, and the noise was moving up and down with revs. After about 5 mins of constent unbareable knocking (car idle, as i'd pulled over) though, it decided to just stop, and run fine. I have absolutly no idea why's it's decided to start this, I rarely bring the car into boost, guess it's just one of those things. I will get it checked out properly, but also going to phone API sometime today for a quote on a 2.5sti engine. Needless to say, i'm totally gutted.

Ordered coil packs today from API Impreza. Brilliant service, can't express enough how happy I am with the service over the phone. At £235 delivered, the price is as good as there service Should arrive tomorrow, going to try fitting these myself shoulden't be too hard right?

Happy birthday, hope you don't feel too rough tomorrow.

Seriously, that was quick. Should be all up and running very soon then?

Spotted tws too, alomst diden't, was getting seriously blinded by the sun.

3 hours... should you not be sleeping if your needing to leave that early lol. Can i ask where your getting it from?

Mine states in the additional info. Decalared manufactured in 1995, used overseas. Edit: just checked and it reads as stated in the special notes: "Was registered/used overseas, declared manufactured 1995" Your insurance would be void if you were to insure as a 2000 uk model.

Hello and welcome to SIDC. I pay £151 a month for insurance (22 yr old), but they took into account the 5 years of ownership and license since 2004. Was thinking of trying Gary Moulson, as i want abit cheaper. But was unaware that you had to be 25+

whilst I was photoshopping them thought they looked pretty cool. Might see how much to have them sprayed gloss black. Don't fancy spending masses on them as you can pick up black wheels pretty cheap now.

1. Granby 2 Yogi and Terri 3. Stiggy 4. Dunks and Kids 5. Gurnars Looking forward to this one, prefer this type of run to tunnel runs ECT. Much slower and safer.

Black!!

Looks like it's going to be a cracking show. Can't wait.

Trying to take my mind of Coils , and now the weathers begining to get better it's time to get rid of the white wheels. Now can't decide to put my old wheels back on, or sell them and buy some nice black ones. What do you think? Keep or sell?

WD40..... BHP in a can, scary responsive for a whole 5 mins before problems returned, could only reach 2 coils, but the difference was night and day. Dunno why people bother buying remaps, decats, turbo's etc etc..... can of WD40 lol Guess that means i need to order some new coil packs...... oh how fun lol. Could have got a front mount for the price of those http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m10b0s1175p13107 Cheap, still £271 though, does anyone know anywhere cheaper?

Replied in For Sale section.

Can't wait to try deano's little trick with the wd40 . Bet i still manage to bugger it up somehow lol, end up with half a can of wd40 in the air intake or something. Be on the phone begging to deano "pleaseeeee fix my car".

Spotted a nice white classic scooby on london road, maidstone. About 5:50pm today.

Ah, by the way. What did you think of the Japanese singer

OUCH

Do you supply the maids outfit, or do i need to supply?
