Cool mate let me know, been holding out for a clean set in the anthracite colour with half decent tyres but it's not happening. Gold or silver is all I keep coming up with. Pm me pal when you know

 

Hi guys, just registered here - after spending some time reading the whole thread!
I recently got myself an STi 330S Hatch. I previously had a 2006 STi with quite a few mods, and decided it was time to change after having some expensive engine problems in the past year.

The hatch will be basically a winter & weekend car, with the bike being the vehicle of choice for commuting most of the year.
Anyway I'm thoroughly enjoying the hatch so far, picture below.

I do have a quick exhaust question. Been thinking about changing the center section pipe on my 330S for a deresonated one - purely for the extra sound. Will this require a remap? With so many engine problems reported I don't want to make any risky changes!

 

The V-Limited is out of stock, I hope they dont mean discontinued

 

Well mot time is fast approaching & with the decision not to run a rear fog lamp in the boot, these are the best option

led reflectors

 

So where do these mount? Thinking of making the fog light on my wife's hatch a reversing light, so maybe this is a solution to that?

 

They're all good Rob, did I forget to tell you mine sailed through it's MOT with them fitted?

They fit in place of the standard reflectors on the bumper. They are actually a reflector but with an LED array built in behind the lens. Making the stock fog another reverse light is the way to go. Have a look back through this thread for my posts on which reversing bulbs to go for, they're superb!

HTH,

Neil

 

Already taken your advice and got one of those bulbs in...and now want to do the second Just pondering how to sort the fog.

 

Yes you did tell me about that Now I cast my mind back, they took there sweet time to arrive mind, but was a bonus having no customs fee's again

 

Stop it! You know damn well I never get away with!

 

Get yourself a pair of the led reflectors and I can talk you through the install/wiring.

ebay item number: 330689901709

 

It's ok as I got caught with some ID1000 injectors just recently, but at £18 i wasnt going to complain

 

hello and welcome, get some more pix up of both your toys

 

Uh-huh, I'm off for a sulk!

 

random one, my car wont start, it trys to but all tyhe dash flickers and the lights flash, then after trying to start the emision light, battery light, transmision light and airbag lights stay on.

any ideas?

thanks

 

Loving them Rob very trick, if I still had the hatch they would be on their way for sure, two reversing lights is the way to go.

 

Will order those - many thanks!

Think I can sort the wiring OK though, otherwise I'd better give up my day job

 

plugs in the roof mate for the fog lamps

 

Flat battery mate, does it sound like the starter cuts in and out very quick

 

It's behind the OS upper rear quarter trim panel, need to remove it to access.

 

thought it could be but then also thought imobiliser, must be the cold weather, only used it yesterday, unfortanly parked so i cant get jumpers on, luckly i have free breakdown so they can boost it and ill take it for a spin, do the sat nav/ radio need a code if i take the battery off and charge it over night?

thanks

 

Fair point!

 

if you remove the battery overnight it shouldnt lose the code, but let the nav boot up before starting the engine. Has been known to go a bit funny whilst it communicates with the vehicle ecu

 

Hmmm the rac are buisy tonight and be past bed time when they get here, might be ideal to just take it off charge it, jst i dnt have the code, so its not a instant thing that code like most cars, cnt belive it gone flat, not like i havent used it, although its freezing all week, need to reverse against the hedge so can jump it from now on

 

what am I thinking that's the outback in the roof. apologies to all. lol

 

the sat nav will communicate via canbus to the ecu and request it's own security. Its important you do not start the vehicle while it re-boots or you'll have to go to the dealer for them to gain security access to it again.

 

I use one of these on my car.

Its the Halfords £25 one, its slightly different to mine, this this one is the newer version

 

oh thats a good idea, have charge problems with my 106 track car only getting used once a month, might be worth a buy, thanks

 

My Hatch won't go tw weeks without going flat it it's not driven.

It even went almost flat (I couldn't start it) the Monday before Xmas I used the car.. parked it on the drive, came to drive it on the Friday after Xmas (4days) and it wouldn't fire up.

Got it on the above charger and its fine.

 

Bloody battery always flat on mine! I only use it wkends etc battery always flat when I go to get it out!

 

PDI report on my 330S said OEM battery was dead on arrival!

It's now got a Varta from the supplying Subaru dealer, which has been fine, staying live even if not touched for 2 weeks + when I am away on hols..
