Hello Paul,

The brakes car being done this month, just awaiting delivery of them - thanks for the offer - I may still call you. As for the badge, I'm keeping it on the original spoiler unfortunately, so I bought an 'STI' one although I think I'll maybe just get the 'stars' one as it looks better. I'll be in touch soon mate

Exesspeed - great news!! Welcome to being a new owner of this type of car. I'd imagine your the man to tell us the difference between the performance of the WRX and the WRX STI as a comparison.

Take care folks,
Marky-San

I've sent out all people with email addresses a simple questionnaire of their car, themselves and modifications to it. I've made a simple website collating the current information in this post, and a few related ones recently. Once I've got some good amount of info on the cars I'll send out the link via this post. And folks, get taking those pictures of your cars and plaque's.

Paul H - many thanks for the offer, that was really kind - if I had known before I had already spent some long nights on the 56K entering the pictures etc. then you'd have had the job LOL! However, if alot more info comes in them I may forward it all to you

Andy P - Got the pictures of No.1 from the post you recommended - excellent m8! Thats all I can say

Hopefully hear from you all soon,
Marky-San

PS - Big thanks to ade7624 for the suggestion and causing me many late nights LOL!!

I can recomend the Mintex pads, they are a bit noisy and quite dirty (plenty of brake dust), but after 18 months mine are still going strong, and you really have to push them before they start to fade. I suspect if your doing track days you could probably get the to fade much quicker, but for a fast road pad they are good.

Most supplier carry them, ring around and find the best deals at the moment. We don't stock them, as plenty of other people do them anyway. The supplier should be able to advise you of the correct pad type.

Not sure what's happening with the engine codes, the codes on the car itself sound correct, but the log book entry isn't a valid Subaru engine code, to my knowledge. Some numpty has probably put the wrong code down when it was imported. I believe you can correct this on the log book without too muvh trouble.

Marky-san -

You should have my returned document by now !

Hello Exesspeed - I'll lift the questions off the word document, and send them to you as a email. Anyone had problems with the questionnaire?

As to the exhaust its all down to personal preference I'm afraid - what I like you might not. I'd look in the for sale section as theres always good stuff in there.

Hi BoxerFlat4 - got yours, Esoteric Beast's and Andy's back already. So I'll probably input some info over the weekend. Thanks

Esoteric Beast

You aint got mine yet, I havent sent it

couldnt fill it in on the doc you sent

D8UGF

Marky,

Dougie.

Marky-San

Oops!! Your right esoteric

Strange - the doc is just on 'word'. Nowt fancy about. I'll send you the same later tonight on email.

Marky-San

D8UGF - will do

exesspeed

TO BOXER FLAT 4 regarding the mintex pads do you knoe the part code as im found factors with them but are unable to attain if threr for two pot calipets, even going off the year on log book,and which mintex most stoock the m1109/1 pad compound but ive got drilled n grooved discs and have heard to go for the m1115 comp but the diff in price is astonishing, std mintex £30 +vat and 1115 mintex £120, so whats a man to do, dont even know if the pads are for my car as they dont lost the sti, from 94 at factors, only all impreza's from 93 to say 97 , and they will be uk mods, regards mark.

care3

here you go andy

Marky-San

No.1 folks!!

Andy - car looks in great condition. Love the colour. Is it original or have you chosen it?

Sorry just re-read your mail to me and realised you meant upload to SN. I used to them for the register DOH!

Andy Porter

Cheers Andy
No worries Mark, can't wait to see the register, do I have the first ever STI 1 to leave the factory ?

Andy Porter

Cant see the pics Care posted now, can you ?

Marky-San

Yes, no problem mate.

Try that right clicking, show picture? Just in the off chance (never know).

Marky-San

Now posted search threads in 2 aussie subaru sites, posted from another Scoobynet thread. Trying to locate any japanese ones, but so far nothing in english.

Fingers crossed we get some more out there.

BoxerFlat4

Bttt...

Looks really good, black certainly suits the Scoob but must be a nuisance to keep clean.

Exess, I have an STI1 197/200 and the boost runs at 1.1 bar with a Powerengineering TS75 turbo back system, single free flow cat and twin down pipe. Hope that helps. Mind you, the boost gauges are not always that accurate. My rev counter goes into redline at 7000 RPM. There was a discussion about max RPM on early STI's but I would be a bit worried about going to 8000. Maybe someone can give us the real info about this.

I've just picked up my sti this saturday, it puts a chesire cat grin on my face every time I bury that throttle, mint! I've not made the 100 club though, it's July '94 number 135/200 model GC8B48D (what ever that means)

Esoteric Beast

SOLD mine today to a chap in carlisle

With the Engine I blew up in it last Sunday

Hope he sorts it and has fun

Marky-San

Work been too busy for the last couple of months, with no sign of a let up. Site hasnt moved much as I havent stopped unfortunately.

Pleased to have got some GGR splashguards in black - still alot to do to the car. Its going back on the road this Friday - been locked away too long!

Thats a shame about no 43 Beast. Is the guy from Carlisle a scooobynetter? If he is, ask him to join the thread so we can keep the very few cars we have 'together'. Incidentally, what plans for a new car are on the go? Something more sedate, or something just as mental?

I noticed a while back that Lozza was selling her car, dont know if its gone or not though. Seems to be the time for change for alot of people.

Summer isnt too far away, and I need a dump (valve) LOL!!!

Take care folks,
Mark

Marky-San

Got my 4 pots fitted - thought it wouldnt make much difference. How wrong was I!!! Excellent.

No more p/steering plumes of smoke. Fitted a new legacy unit.

Still have bothered with the splashguards yet as I'm lazily colour coding - re 'lazily' means only done one bit in 4 months!

Oh well, nice to see Andy omn 18's (lucky beggar) - looks ace!

BTTT for a historical thread.

MS

Marky-San

Done most of the colour coding - not door handles - ugh the thought!

Fitted my splashguards as well. Bit of Blue Peter knowledge goes a long way

Car looks even more stealth with all this black stuff going on.

YOUNG GED

Hi Guys

A bit late to this thread I know but a friend of a friend has a silver STI 1 saloon.
I'll try and get the number and let her know about the thread.

Chris

Marky-San

No probs Young Ged - finding any owners has been bloody hard I'll tell you.

Let her know about this thread for sure

BoxerFlat4

YOUNG GED -

I'm based in Cheshire as well, it would be nice to get 2 STI 1's together to compare them !

Got mine back from the approved repairers, only for 3 days later some fu**wit to open their door straight onto my newly repainted door ! So, it needs doing again - as well as the head gaskets (still currently smoking occasionally), the front passenger door (mirror section making a noise since it was moved by the repairer, needs re-aligning), oh and I think a wheel bearing has gone as well (low speed droning from the wheel area). And I need some new brakes.

*Sigh*.....

Marky-San

I posted some pictures of my car in the 'Members Gallery' = MY94 japanese import WRX STI 25 of 100' after colour coding the skirts, adding splashguards etc. but thought I'd stick some of them on here for those who maybe subscribe/favourite the post.

Its all getting very black now LOL!!!

Marky-San

Heres some closer ones which also show my new STI 4 pots, Brembo Group N+ discs and DS2500 pads. What a difference to have 'brakes'.








I'm getting towards the place I want the car to be.

Next week - fitting Bailey Motorsport EVO dump valve..........heard all the idle problem horrors of VTA DV's, well I'll find out soon enough

exesspeed

hi yea ive no 86 out of 100. in red, can you tell me what the correct boost is for this model car as mine is going to 10 psi and holding 9,psi seems low to me, bottom end to mid range power or torque is awsome but i need to find out a safe boost to run pref higher than 10 psi lol, thanks mark
