How you doing mate Ive got the STI3 myself and spoke to AndyF about the next step.What your going to do is what he strongly advised then allowing you a good basis for some futher tuning.

Nasty one mate!!! Was the culprit thrashing it? My brother-in-law lent me hisd 380 bhp sapp cossie last year and the piston decided to punch a hole threw its-self.In total it was going to cost about 2K at Greers for a rebuild to the same spec.He ended up selling the motor for abou 2.5K I felt really bad.Fortunately my brother-in-law knows i treat other peoples motors with respect and that i wasn't to blame!

its got an STI5 bonnet and grill,not sure what catagorie that falls into.

Greers in Ayrshire did a timing belt,plugs,engine oil and filter change and diff and gearbox oil change for £280.IMHO any car you buy you should do a full service for peace of mind!

minted mate,cheers

any ideas on how to fit a set of headlights on a classic?can't work out how to separate th headlight from the side light as its held together by 2 bolts that u can't seem to get to.any ideas??

S*~t happens.just needs built bigger and better.

1. Rice Rocket - Pizza Hut 2. Big Andy 3. SCOOBAY 4. Fai 17 5.CORSA 6. 2559B & Pink Pepper 7.ScottySTI (if i can get cover for standby)

well on top of the hassle and cost of having to get the g/box sorted after a trip up to our friends at Greers it turns out my MAF is f@#ked!not the best start to the year. Want to say thanks to Bill up at Greers coz he didn't charge a penny for hooking the motor up and finding out what was wrong with the motor.Nice to know there is still some A1 garages and staff about.

think it will look the part.my mate did some made photo shop thing with my car with grey graphics and the grey makes it really nice so go for it.

really hacked off with the warranty folk as the money im going to have to spend on the box was set aside for andyF to work his magic.

any idea people which is gonna be the cheaper option for a gearbox on anSTI3?Sure the synchromesh is on it's way and after a heated talk with warranty people looks like im gonna have to pay with it out of my own pocket.Obviously with the box out i might aswell upgrade the clutch but not sure which is gonna be the cheapest,get the box stripped and rebuilt or try and source a refurbished one.Any help much appreciated.

Its those tricks that keep the car sweet and keeps the money in the back pocket!

cheers mate,will do.

Pretty sure my STI3 has developed a misfire,put the power on gradually and its fine until about 6000 rpm then hits flat spots.If i plant it then it miss pretty bad.The motor is pretty standard and runs optimax and millers.Not wanting to damage the motor so not getting the full fun factor.Going to phone Greers tomorrow and try and book it in for monday.The cars away on Friday to get some body work done so the last thing I need is something thats gonna cost £££s.so any help would be greatly appreciated.cheers

To be honest mate theres a hell of a lot of Scoobs in Ayrshire.They obviously know a good car!

Yeah nice night plus the family ware made to feel welcome, so "Cheers Folk".

How u doing mate?pretty new here myself and loving it.I owned a very tidy s2 rst and loved the motor ,now ive got a STI3 and all i can say is it'll put a grin on ur fance every time.

I should have seen that coming!!

not meaning to cut into the thread but does anyone know where abouts around here i can get Millers?couldn't get any recently and im sure the other stuff i've used is causing the motor to miss fire.cheers for any help.

Blue New Shape didn't catch the reg but full yellow decals.very clean considering how dirty the roads are!

We'll as things look im good to go.What is the plan for wednesday?As this is my first meet (not including Santa Cruise) im not sure what to expect.Are we having a bite to eat?Is the family welcome? cheers!

no doubt Grant or someone else will be able to give u the full facts but i would say wrap it as this will reduce the engine bay air temperature.
