Tra la la la..........I'm here now....the peace is shattered!!!
Not been here for a while. Busy with a house move ..... doing it ourselves too, so nice and busy with wagon loads of stuff. (7.5Te wagon.....not Impreza Wagon!!)
Our final load will be on Monday, so don't think I'll be at the Tuesday meet. The wee man in at hospital for tests and he'll be returning to a "new" house, so I suppose I'd better be there.
Alyn......I'll pop in and see you soon.
Hope everyone is ok.
I'll be living closer to the Teesside lot after Monday, so may have to "was it you" a few of them.

slap
piston slap shud only normally be heard when the motor is cold and usually goes away when the motor has heated up and everything expanded ie pistons, rings etc etc, one of my mates has a bit of slap, until thouroughly heated upon , been told that it is nowt to worry about as long as the motor runs ok and doesnt smoke /burn oil or rattle /knock etc when warmed up, to be honest subaru flat fours r not the most quiet smooth motors out there, and there r all a bit clickety when cold, u checked ya oil, also the later wrx and sti motors ie version 3 onwards have solid lifters which also give a bit top end/side noise, again supposedly nowt 2 worry about cheers

Cheers for that, not sure if I'm just being paranoid as most of the time it sounds alright but then I start thinking that it sounds funny.
Paranoia's a not so wonderful thing ain't it.

car is run in, feels much faster, not sure if thats the mudburner still in my viens?
i have had a thought, at the RR day i was honestly expecting 330ish bhp
the boost, the fueling, no knock etc etc, it should have smashed down 300bhp with a chocolate spoon
it did not do that
wondering if there was a fault sumwhere which got "fixed" in the rebuild sumhow, we do know sum of the valves were not sealing or closeing properlly etc etc
maybe the turbo to uppipe/downpipe gaskets were leaking?
you know when your stomach kinda clenches up when its scared lol
mine did that today the first time i opened her up (its been a long time scince i went even remotley fast TBH)
will give steve or sheck a shot and see what they think, there probably better to judge then me at the moment

Micky, your heads were in fairly poor conditiion prior to being o/hauled so this would most likely have caused a loss of performance at a minimum......................
don't go over-boosting your shiny new toy!! LOL

would the pops and bangs cause the head/valves to go a bit crappy?
after sum proper testing ive noticed that the boost has infact increased with the new parts fitted, not dropped
will have to turn it back down a smidge
allready looking at the NOS kits for the bike
