So picked the car up today, Andrew Carr's done a great job mapping it.

Also picked up a v7 sti trim and a rather rare s202 steering wheel,





Jake

 

Looking very nice indeed loving the steering wheel very rare mate show me one for sale anywhere?? Nice genuine quality mods IMO mate, can't wait to see it in the flesh if you keep it long enough

 

Had its for quite a while now for me haha

Just need some sti clocks, problem was all scotts clocks were jdm so 50mph was 80k and i dont know if you can convert them

 

Don't bother with the import clocks uk ones are easy enough to source and plug and play jake

 

Yeah deffo,

 

Well cleaned the interior again, really happy with it now,







Then decided i better get the horn working, so made a bracket with a tail off it, this contacts the back of the wheel and allows the horn to work.

 

Looking mint jake I'm just wondering what you did to the airbag light? Is there a mod to take the light off?
Turning into a real one off unique subtly modified example and will be once your done

 

yeah air bag lights get cancelled with a 3- 3.3ohm resistor, one each for seats and one for the wheel, the previous wheel was a hawk wheel, so thats when the resistor went in for that lol

cheers

im looking for a genome boost gauge now lol

jake

 

Cars looking well Jake! I would maybe swap out the WRX mats for some STI mats, bar that the car really looks spot on!

Matt.

 

With the added power i decided to change all the fluids, even though they haven't even done a thousand miles i wanted some better products in there.

Quick call to as performance and these arrived the day after. The oil filter, fuel filter and pollen filter were from the local motor factors.



Then i decided to swap out the scabby strut brace for one i had saved from ages ago.



Would like to dress the bay a bit but that can wait


Jake

 

Looks lovely. Good work.

 

White scoobs are so clean looking! and matched with blue interior
Fantastic job so far
How was going from the tdo4 to the vf34 in terms of how it feels? Noticebly more pull , any lag, kicks in later etc
Cheers
Karl

 

Deffo kicks in later, a little more laggy but really pulls abkve 3k.

 

i bet lol maybe a td05 would be better for me in the future then... btw i would stick with the gold alloys as it adds that extra needed contrast of your fog light colour looking at it from the front
Its what i wanted to do to a bug wagon i was inspired from IF i got one, it had mesh fog light covers which completed it imo. Found a pair for £50 a few months ago you should get em

 

Looked for a td05 bit none about, seen three this last week lol

 

Well ive sent my td04 away to be hybrid. That should be about 2-3 weeks, then also got a harvey smith up pipe coming. Thought i may aswell go the who hog, so carbide bits, flapper wheels and heat wrap ordered so j can port the headers.

In other new more wheels.



In primer



Then paint







Just need tyres now, 225/45/17 but unsure of brand, toyo proxies are like 50 a corner.

 

nice

 

Well bit of movement in the car,

Harvey trick up pipe has arrived, my td04 is now being built, so ive ordered genuine gaskets for when i change stuff over.

Oh and wheels are on



Jake

 

Looks very nice indeed.

 

want!!!

 

what power/lbft are you running?

 

320-330 ish similar torque.

 

I see that you're a bargain hunter lol.

This is the cheapest fully intact gauge and controller I could find (certainly already in the UK, at least).

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Wrx-S...%257Ciid%253A1

Obviously it's not cheap per se, but they are uber expensive* (ICP sell them new but are 'afraid' lol to disclose the price...they simply show 'POA'!)


*But then you already knew that.

 

Sold.

 

Yeah, id love one but thats just too much for a gauge.

I set about porting my spare headers, i have been advised to leave a small lip, ive bevelled it best i can, not perfect vut hopefully it will help, then i attached my harvey trick up pipe, then wrapped the lot, going to soray seal them too.





Just need the turbo now

 

Personally I wouldn't bother with the sealing spray. All it seems to do is degrade the tape in record time. Seen loads of complaints about the stuff.

 

Yeah? Mite give it a miss then?

 

handbrake seized on, maybe why the turbo felt slow lol,

good news my hybrids ready though

 

Pictures of the destruction.





Yesterday on the way to work i noticed grabbing again, felt the left side and again slightly hot, thought i jusr needed to do the final handbrake adjustment, so i took the back wheels off, cleaned and copper greased the pads, and calipers. But the hb is free, looks like i need atleast one rear caliper. The joys of old cars. Also need new stone guards ffs.

In better news my rebuilt hybrid td04 came in







Jake

 

Nice turbo, but brakes are
