  1. Ive got the same problem, the car limits its self to 0.5 bar of boost and it "feels" like the turbo isnt working. It only ever happens when the car is warm after a good run, then I sit ideling for a while, then take off again. I mean hard driving, sitting then hard driving. After I take off it limits itself. Normal driving where strating and stopping is never a problem. I was told it was possibly heat soak that wqs the problem. Ill have to get the boost soloniod looked at. Al
  2. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm v nice, treat yourself for christmas.
  3. Lots of people have said that putting 19s on a subaru was stupid and the car wouldnt handle properly. Well Ive had mine on for the past 9 months and I bet it has handled as well as any another subaru with the same power/mods, and in my opinion probably better. I just seems to sit well on the road. Reason I think its better is Ive just put my original 17s back on while the others get refurbed and I hate the way the car goes arround the corners now. It feels so spongy whith more roll and there is no way I feel as confident with it. To be honest I can wait to get the 19s back on. Obviously the 19s are wider and the tyre wall is not as deep which helps but I forgot how much I hated the 17s in the first place. I still wouldnt do a track day with the 19s on but Ive never had any problems on the road when my right foot gets itchy. I know there are a few with 18s on but does anyone else have 19s on thier scooby. Al
  4. 1 - If your sidelights won't switch off look for the parking light switch on top of the steering column . 2 - Use the search function on the forum before asking the same old question . 3 - The best first mod for an impreza is the exhaust (backbox at least) 4 - Buy a newage 5 - Make sure you get regular quality oil / filter changes every 3 - 4000 miles 6 - Always run the car on good quality fuel - V Power/BP Ultimate/Tesco 99 and add octane booster for safety in an unremapped import 7 - Avoid "chip"ing an impreza - get it remapped by an expert like Andy Forrest (Apexi for classics, ECUtek for newage) 8 - Sell the Newage and buy a Classic 9 - Always wait till the engine is nice and warm before giving it full pelt and let it cool down befrore switching it off 10 - Upgrade your brakes before modding the engine 11 - A VTA dumpvalve isnt really a good idea unless your car is getting remapped to compensate for it. It will momentarily make your car run rich as the ecu gives fuel for air which has been dumped and not recirculated. All you are missing is the gay noise. 12 - Solid rear droplinks and a decent suspension geometry set-up are probably one of the best sub-£100 modifications you can do to a standard car. 13. new ages will undertseer when at the limit 14. If you have a classic get Strutt Braces. The improvement is outstanding! If you have a new age...no luck! loL! 15. Clean out the boost solenoid once in a while and dont fill engine oil right up to max. 16.Go to the SIDC track days at knockhill, you get free tuition from an instructor if you want (plus ensure you wear Cat boots far better that way!!!!) 17. Love every minute of driving and owning it (it will make handing over the credit card much easier 18. Goto meets/Knockhill/Crail and tell us who you are?We don't bite sometimes 20.Join the SIDC and you'll get discounts on insurance and dealer supplied parts in addition to track days. 19. For some obscure reason there is a lot of mention of goats & homosexuals in here. Do NOT let this put you off our forums. 99% of our members are "normal" but we are all fans of The Hoff. 20. Always prefill the oil filter when doing an oil change 21. Dont believe everything you read on the forums. 22. Send off for a Shell card 23. What ever BHP you get, you will never be happy 24. BLUE is the best colour. Al

  9. Its only £21 !!!! How much cheaper do you want it for. Best buy that one than try make something up. Not sure if this effects the air/fuel ratio ???? If not, and it does what is says, then I might get one just to have a nice induction noise. Otherwise it would need a induction kit with associated remap. Al
  10. http://www.greenlightinsurance.com Got my best quote here and track insurance is only £80.
  11. I would go for the 205 as well, thats only cause i bought one last week [] You dont have to spend lots to get a good one. I just got a mint one for 500 notes, just spend the time looking for one and you will find it. I was very luck as this one has had an engine rebuild and a rear beam rebuild along with all mots and reciepts for over 6 grand. All work had been carried by a main peugeot dealer in either kirkcaldy or dunfermline form from when it was new in 1991 to two years ago. Thats 13 years it was looked after by a main garage. I feel guilty takeing it apart. Al
  12. Glad you like it, looks better sitting flush. Any problems with it opening now ??? I kind of miss it now [] Al
  13. Looking good Peter, you must be able to pee quite far now [] I had a shot in Gumballs car once which was pretty dam quick compared to my wrx, so am sure this should be the doggys danglies to drive as well. Am sure you will turst a mad irish man to have a wee blast in it ???? Al

  20. I use firefox as well. If you go to the plugins you can get one that allows you to open a page using IE in a drfferent tab. Its right click then "view this page in ie tab". Its only needed on some sites as firefox wont display it correclty. You will know what I mean when you see one. Al
  21. Bandit, heres the link to the boost switch I was talking about earlier http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Boost-Switches-Water...1QQcmdZViewItem Has anyone fitted / thought about about fitting one of these to the intercooler water spray on a uk sti. Just wondering if this would be a suitable way of activating it without having to push the button Al PS can someone please create a click as I cant do it yet [:$]
