KL/Knock Link, your car has one as standard and will retard timing at hearing knock.
But a large percentage of Scooby owners fit a Knock Link which is a separate Bosch sensor mounted to the block and a series of LEDS which give a visual indication of knock/pinking/det.

You can see mine on the left through the steering wheel, some people also custom fit these so to get rid of the black box


As Type R's are mapped for 100/102 fuel they can be more prone to det so a KL is essential IMHO.
As mentioned a good booster such as NF will help prevent this.
Have a look here http://www.nfeurope.com/stockists.htm
NF Race is the one you want, black bottle.

I'm still undecided whether to wait for a V6 Type R Limited or trade my car in for a nice clean and standard V5 Limited. Can anybody help me decide? I notice the roof vents are smaller on V6 Limited and you guys have already pointed out the main differences.

regards,

Jonathan

 

I feel that the v6 will become a much sought after car with it being the last of the classic shape.

Just my thoughts.

 

i agree totally, great example of a car that defined a generation, put it in the garage and store it for a few years!!

playstation power!!

 

LOooovely type-R's - keep 'em coming - although i have to admit without the original stickers they do look a bit too plain for my liking - IMHO
V5's/V6's apart from the differences listed are pretty much the same but BOTH are pretty rare cars and not many available at all..
about £13k+

Cheers
Raf.

 

LOL I wish. If I had a garage and could afford another v6 Type R I'd drive one and garage the other

No, I'd get a 22B, garage that all week and use my v6 LTD as my every day car and bring the 22B out on a weekend provided thew weather was good

No, I already use my v6 LTD as my every day car, so I've just gotta rob a bank to get a 22B...















...and a garage

 

"Everyday car"..............**** me i wish i could afford to. Humble old Nissan Sunny for me everyday

 

are there any pics of type-r,s on 17"speedline WRC alloys?
im looking at changing mine already,im not quite sure on what to get,i really like the prodrive 17"OZ,s but there are qiute a few cars with them already fitted,any suggestions

cheers

jon

 

also,as for changing the springs for something a little lower,what would you boys recommend,what make and how low?the ride is perfect at the moment so dont really want anything stiffer

thanks

jon

 

OZ P-WRC1 or Raceline RL7.

If the ride is already perfect, why change it?

 

i just want to lower it slightly,but keep the spring rates similar,ill check a few cars out and see what they are using

jon

 

luv the type r

 

richie where did you get you gauge console in the center of the dash? i like the square design, would be good to put the knock/lambda link in

mike

 

Get one, you know it makes sense

QUESTION:

If I sit in the passenger seat and look under the glove box, on the left hand side there is a holder for something that looks 'tube-like'.

I have seen on pictures something orange in it, but mine is empty ?

What is supposed to be in there ?

Where's mine gone ??

What's in yours???

 

Standard Subaru pod so matches the dash perfectly

Part no H0017FC900OE Inpane Upper Case

Obviously does not come with gauges, gauges and pod = arm and leg

 

Your distress flare is supposed to be in there, it looks like a big marker pen. I wouldn't worry much about it, none in my car either.

 

Holds my Octane boost bottle nicely

 

So yours is empty also fatman?

What should be there?

 

An emergency flare...

I'll take a pic of mine when I get home and post it up..

J

 

I have it documented that mine was found by the Stereo guy when he wired in the alarm and head unit (Car reached these shores brand new).

I got hold of a small maglite type torch and put it in mine. It actually looks quite cool.

 

Here you go chaps

That's that sorted. Can sleep now.

Cheers guys

 

Remember alot of inports don't have them as they are illegal in the UK

(just like my lights, decat.....)

 

Right here ya go...

(pics were taken using my phone, so excuse the quality)

J

In its housing...



And the proper bit...

 

Looks like a Pritt stick!

 

LOL...

But unlike Pritt Stick, I doubt it will help with the building of a Blue Peter toilet roll and washing-up bottle spaceship! Although it might be useful to recreate the re-entry to the earths atmosphere scene

J

 

cheers richie will a knocklink and lambda link fit in the space where the gauges go, just think it'll make it easyer to look at that the current possition where the ashtray sits

mike

 

No idea, I'll measure the gap tomorrow

 

Nope they won't fit without cutting the pod
