That's correct, Spec C air oil cooler
It's a V9 engine though, you can tell by the bend in the ic
my AVCS is not working yet, can't figure out what's wrong with the wiring
tranny is V9 Spec C also, everything came out of one car (using V3 RA DCCD controller with it)
I am surprised no one noticed the wheels!
I had to convert from 114.5 back to 5x100

I didn't want to go through the hassle of integrating the auto function of dccd, so I just have it in the manual mode
V3-6 DCCD controllers are same, so it was a matter of finding one and wiring it
I got the driveline from a vendor in the states

im having a look at a 99 sti tommorrow with 55 k on the clock. im obviously dubious with many of these cars having rebuilds. is there anything i can look for or ask that may indicate the car is a gooden\baden, or should i get an expert to look, or is it a case of buy it, drive it and see what happens.

Hey is this thread still going!
This has got to be a record on SN!
Has anyone set up the TypeR register/sub owners club yet? It would be nice to see all the Coupes organised at the national meets so that they park together in a sort of mini display.
Like the RB5's normally do.
Someone just needa to trall through this thread for PM/Email addresses and also a recent search on the 'Search tool'
Id do it myself, but haven't had mine for a year now. I like winning the RR shootouts, but I certainly miss the admiring looks

Cheers si but the cars out of the bodyshop in a week!
Now the long process of fitting all the bits in the garage/2 sheds/spare bedroom starts, along with an engine rebuild for serious horses. Cant wait!
