Yes, its bloody loud.

Might change it for something not so in ya face! Maybe a Nur Spec. That Kakimoto is nice though!

I was contemplating taking all of the carbon off as I am still not sure if its my thing or not, so Ill keep you in mind if I decide to change.

Still waiting to hear from Martyn. I think that its skipped a tooth from what I have been reading.

Terrible fuel consumption, bad idle and rough running. He did say that it certainly was NOT mapped by JGM as there are way too many mistakes made in the map!

Good news is Martyn seems to think the engine is OK.

Anxious times!

 

If you're thinking of selling the mirrors please give me a shout

 

Will do mate

 

What a crap thread - fingers crossed for you bud

Paul

 

It is in good hands at least. You are lucky. My sti jumped a few cogs and the engine was foooked.

 

Small update.

Engine is fine, timing is fine, but MAF is knackered, orange MAF costs £300 new!

But I have gone down the route of upgrading to a MAFless AlcaTek ECU. As I do have plans for this car, rather than just putting a new MAF on, I am killing two birds with one stone by getting the AlcaTek for future upgrades.

Will be listing the Apexi Power FC for sale when I get the car back.

However, the gearbox is quite noisy, so I will be looking at doing a 6 speed DCCD conversion in the near future.

No movement on the court proceedings, but its early days.

 

That's great news, good choice of going maffless as the v3-6 goes through mafs like nobody's business.
6 speed dccd FTW. Join the club

 

Shame there are people out there that are willing to put some elses safety at risk to make a sale. Hope you get it all sorted.

Pretty sure you do have legal ground, a car sold even buy a private seller must match the description given, and also be roadworthy (unless sold as spares or repair) and i'd definitely say a cracked spoke makes it not roadworthy!

From the AA - "the car must be roadworthy - it is a criminal offence to sell an unroadworthy car and an MOT certificate from a test several months ago is no guarantee that the car is roadworthy today"

 

How much did it cost to fit the 6 speed if you don't mind me asking?

 

Depends what you mean by price? As in total including box etc or just labour To fit

 

I have been offered a 6 speed box for £1500, I was wondering what sort of prices I should be looking at for fitting.

 

Just the box? You need more than just the box.

Prop, gear linkage, mounts etc.....

And what 6 speed box is it?

 

Depends what car it's going on if you need diff, shafts, clutch etc etc.
But generally for box swap alone I'd say around £150ish labour depends on who you know etc.
I'm assuming that box comes with all associated parts like linkage, diff, prop at £1500?
All I needed was rear diff to match box, propshaft, front hub shaft conversion to keep current front shafts on, my rear shafts are already bigger ones as it had a r180 diff stock but just wrong ratio.

 

V3-4 maf are pretty robust, I ran mine to 440bhp as Simon (JGM) advised they were good up until 460bhp. However going mafless to future proof the car for further mods given the cost of a maf (I paid £215 for an orange back in 07) is a great idea

 

Wow what a read - really sorry to hear about your troubles mate. I really hope you get it sorted!

 

The guy is still on fb under the name of Adam Ali just letting you know .

 

Have you got a link to his page?

When I search for Adam Ali on FaceBook, I get two results, and both of them are 100% not him.

^^ Hes selling the ksports on scooby pages that was meant to be included with the car so thats him

 

Thanks for the link.

Could you provide a link to the Group please mate? Thanks

 

Hes posted them on about 7 different pages

 

he's posted it in https://www.facebook.com/groups/suba...sions/?fref=nf , https://www.facebook.com/groups/3109...59592/?fref=nf & https://www.facebook.com/groups/subaruswapshop/?fref=nf and quite a few other groups, however because he's blocked you it'll mean that you can't see it.

He tried joining one of my pages but I blocked his request.

 

He is even trying to flog them in the Cornwall/Devon groups right under Dozza's nose.

 

lol, this guy is a real card isn't he!

But to add more weight to my court case, just had Martyn from Engine Tuner on the phone letting me know that the headers are Japspeed rubbish as opposed to RCM headers which were advertised as being on the car.

So I have asked him to remove the Japspeed crap and install GT Spec headers. Another outlay which I was not expecting!

 

I can't even see this guys adds, he's obviously blocked me too. I get a
To of folk blocking me when I tell them how it is, unfortunately it's a shame as I can't now let others know by posting on posts and making other aware of suspicion before they buy.

 

Any joy on this dozza?
You got car sorted now

 

Car is at Engine Tuner in Plymouth.

New engine, new gearbox and a few other goodies!

Will make another thread when I get the car back

 

Thought engine was ok?

 

Sorry to read about all the problems you have had, breaks your heart when you realise the pride and joy you have just purchased isn't quite what you were expecting.
I bought a £12k 33Gtr last November, started stalling on the way home, fluctuating idle, changing gear was tricky, engaging 1st was a nightmare, then the next day started misfiring, overfueling etc.
I guess I was lucky though as the guy I purchased it from has been brilliant, he fixed the gearbox for me, sorted all other issues out too.
Then started missing and overfueling and stalling again so he organised a low loader to pick it up, took it back to his and fixed it again (dodgy ecu, dodgy lambdas)
Been a 5month ordeal but the seller stuck to his word and has been pretty cool.

 

The car looked great in the original 'for sale' thread, so once you've got the problems sorted, you'll have yourself a stunning Type R. With a white scoop and spoiler, it would be perfect!
