getting the inlet mani sorted asap










Not had it 2 weeks and i cooked the vf28 turbo. lol

Do you guys advise fitting an oil cooler as these sit at quite high revs when being thrashed. Never owned a car like it, Its awesome!

Hope you like her..

Scooblet

 

 

I have never found anything above 6.5k on a standard engine of any use as changing up before that usually gives more useable power.

 

I have tried the bigger wing it just didnt look right i thought.
It is a standard sti7 bottom end with the v3 heads running
445bhp & 412lbft on v-power
470bhp & 444lbft with 20% mix

 

Just thought I'd pop up a pic of mine, a V3 Type R in it's natural habitat!

 

Can anyone pop up a link or tell me what a 1997 P Reg Type R STI should have on it ?

Been looking at one but its not got DCCD, bit rough round the edges but im looking for a little project so it seems ideal.

 

It'll be a WRX type r.

 

Ah yes it is, it has a red inlet so that threw me.

Are these a good buy ? its on ebay !

Item 201113163445, had a chat with the owner he seems nice enough.

So im guessing it only being a WRX its not forged !

Update :-

Just had guy on phone again, its had an STI engine fitted, its got WRX intercooler still, has a VF28 Turbo, 6 previous owners, scattered Japanese and UK service history. He bought it from BOYSTOYS in High Wycombe.

Buy or steer clear ?

 

The only Type R that didnt have DCCD was the MY98 R V-Limited, made in Jan 98 and only in Blue, and being a V, had a roof vent.

I would suggest this has been made up from a shell, or the DCCD has gone wrong and its been stripped out.

Ask for a photo of the VIN, then check it on Type-ra.com

 

And '97 too

Here's my WRX V-Ltd with no DCCD, but ABS

 

I've not been in here for some time so I thought I'd post a few up to date photos.

 

Well that's weird! I was only thinking yesterday what Red wheels would look like on grey. Very Nice

 

Very nice love the grey with red wheels, is it candy red

 

Yes candy red, had a set of 18" Work Emotion done in this colour it's sometime that I've been considering for a while now.
I appreciate they may not be everyone's fancy its a new twist for sure.
My Revolutions are still my no 1 choice though and I'll swap over from time to time

 

ive just bought a sti 4 type r its got the sti plaque on the top os strut top saying number 1 of a 100 how rare is this

 

Nothing new since June??

 

o go on then, i did create a new thread cos missed this one due to how long its been
