i didn't realise your was an sti...what power are making with the fmic?

ian

 

Anybody had any experienec of know of these people

http://www.k-t-c.co.uk - keighley imports

 

It's not an STi...i just made a joke regarding all that This-front-end-is-better-than-this-end...As long as it makes you happy it's so unimportant how front end looks like...

Regarding power...well, as i have AVC-R and i set it up to 90% up to 3k rpm i used to hit 1,6b in 4th if i floor it at 2k rpm...and one day i got err 45 (pressure sensor)...than i turned AVC-R off and got back to pure ECU controled map and still have that error 45 after i floor it few times...so i dont know what power i have now...i think by butt dyno that my torque is up but not so much power...i'll take some pictures of my incar comp that meassures torque and power so u can see...

 

smiles DONT GO TO KEIGHLEY TRADE CENTRE

 

When I had my skyline there were some bad reports about them as well. www.skylineowners.com posts about Keighly Trade Centre I was tempted once or twice then did the searches.

P.S. New Wagon owner signing in

 

doh! sorry CeeDee, i should really learn to read posts properly

hope you sort the error 45 out and be interested to see your figures

 

Np trails...all is ok

but...meaning to ask something for some time and i forget it...well, question is for all WRX Wagoners here (->2000)...What is your rpm limit in 5th gear ?

For example...

This is my old 96 wagon...



as you can see...260kmh doing @ 6400rpm

And in my 98 wagon i'am doing 245kmh @ 5600rpm and no way i can run it higher rpm's in 5th...

Anyone have some experience to share regarding this? (i think i saw somewhere that wagons have lower rpm limit than sedans but not sure about that)...

 

How can you be doing 160mph and still have a full tank of fuel

 

for that one split of a second it was full (btw worst i saw was friends 2004 STi...fulll tank gone in 90km)

 

fastest i've been is 155 with around 2k rpm left to go...dosen't seem to be any problem with it reving in 5th. maybe yours has a weird top gear rev limiter, is that even possible?

 

"...hi yes i sold it. However i have got another 51 reg sti estate just come in from japan. its 35,000 miles warrented. its a white colour.it will take about two weeks to register as i have to sva it. if you send me your email address i will send you two pics. if you want a different one i.e different colour then i can import you one form japan but could take upto two months...."

 

 

oooo, the holy grail a classic 51 plate sti v6 estate in white. theres gonna be a lot of jelous wagon owners...well me anyway

good luck steve, keep us informed

 

Does anyone know, can i fit a normal bike rack on my wagon? I have a normal one and also a 'special' one we had for our Vectra which had a spoiler so it fitted over. Will either of these fit do you know? And also, when we used to use the one on the vectra it scratched the car a bit, any way to avoid this with my scooby?

 

2 trails :

this is best i can do for you sir







2 smiles : In last Japanese Performance mag u have nice black STi my99 wagon for sale...

 

i have one that fits over the tow bar which fits with sti spoilers...hope that helps

whoa looks good, now if only someone can translate 185kw\469NM into imperial so my slow brain can understand?!

 

469nm = 346lb/ft

185kw = 246bhp

 

Sounds ok to me...

2 pictures just for trails

 

[QUOTE=---=CeeDee=---]Sounds ok to me...

2 pictures just for trails [QUOTE]

has it been mapped for torque rather than bhp then CeeDee, seems a bit low power for that HUGE amount of torque?

great keyring btw

 

It's PE Phase 1 map for TD04 but i have TD05FE in it and AVC-R boost controled for midrange torque rather than high rev...

keyreing just suits her

I'm in general satisfied with car as it is, i dont pursuade bhp as such...if u want adrenaline to go fast buy yourself a bike couse car will never be like it...imho that is...

This is my daily driver and as such i think it looks ok and goes well in straight same as around bands and than some...i like her

 

fmic and TD05 18g are next on my purchase list...well after i deal with my shot clutch (maybe a 6spd or PPG gear set as well)

i have two pot 03 wrx rear calipers and am in the proccess of finding some 325mm discs for my scoobysport Brembo's-both of which are sitting on my kitchen table-so should really fit them first

agree with the bike comment...i'm not brave enough to own a bike anymore, i've not riden on the road in this country for over 10 years

 

2 trails : Oldie but goldie

6 pot Tarox 330

 

lol and R888's

i almost went for the Wilwood 6 pot front\4 pot rear but as i already had the 03 2 pots changed my mind...wondering now whether to sell my UK spec and go for a v6 sti 'cause i keep breaking stuff

 

Hello all you Wagoneers.
I need some info on the spec of my new found love.Took the plunge and bought my first Wagon 2 weeks ago and am not sure what all the bumf in the manual means.My wagon is a Green S-reg 98 Turbo 2000 UK.And what i would like to know is what the BHP is and the mpg lol.I filled her up and only got 220 miles on full tank is this the norm?.It is non modified as well.




Cheers Kev.

Ps Wagons are the Dug's Bollocks

 

Kev, have a look here http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm it will answer all your questions

Your car is 208bhp iirc and 220 to a tank is around average for an unmodified car

Whent to the dealer today to see what they would do me for a P/Ex on my wagon .... 10,800 was their best offer

its going in autotrader and ebay then .. going to put it in @ £12,950 i think to try the water, may start it on ebay @ 99p with a reserve

 

lol when we get 180 miles from a tank of the go go gas we get the bunting out and ring the qween

 

Hi all,

the smiles wagon is SOLD !!!!!

....Dont know whether to be or

I feel like crying as we are now now wagonless and very sad to see it go, but then on the other hand happy to have sold it so quick so i can seriously search for the STI Wagon now that we have funds in the bank

The thing that shocked me was how quick we sold it

We have talked of selling it but never got around to doing it, so last night decided to throw it on ebay for the weekend see what interest there was. I put in for a reserve of 11k with a 99p starting bid and a buy it now price of 12k ... woke up this morning to check on it and it said this item is no longer available - bought with buy it now

Somebody bought it this morning with buy it now for 12k

Been chatting to the guy this morning and he is bringing cash down Tuesday for it

I am reserving my excitement incase its a timewaster, he has 100% feedback and sounded very genuine on phone, as he said he just sold his Saloon as was not pratical with new baby and so was looking for a wagon. Well that was his story anyway so sounded pretty genuine.

We'll wait and see, everything is crossed

 

great news Steve...let the real fun begin; the search for smiles wagon mk II
