Sell it and buy an STi



My htauto side skirts arrived today, just. Need a way of getting under my car to fit them now lol

 

Beautiful looking car.
What mudflaps are these, I really like them!

 

Yeah I'd put the money you would spend on forging the wrx and buy an sti 👍 from what I hear wrx can't go that far tuning wise but it is a lovely colour :-)

 

They are Prodrive ones , which were apparently only an option in Japan, Keith @Revolution got them for me. Took about 20mins to fit & the rears fitted no problem.

my keyless start keeps playing up its done the same thing twice now i dont know what to do .. i park up turn engin off then fob nor the button on the door will let me lock car so had to use the lil emergency key .. the first time this happend i left the car for a couple hours and the worked fine .. not this time tho the car still wont start with either fob i jus geta yellow key light appear and flash .. what should i do now

 

I would settle for this ;-)

 

Have you changed the batteries?

 

Cool. It says the rears may need some drilling required but glad to know they fit fine.
They may need some modifications to fit a Forester I guess.

 

mine sometimes plays up if my house alarm batteries are gettting low, it's like an anti jamming device for the car. I'd spent pounds on mew batteries and it still did the same. lol
you can turn the alarm off by the keypad though and put your key fog as near as you can to the dash/start button.

 

yer i changed both batties last time this happend the weird thing about it is it has only ever done it when parkd in this certain place down my gf road do u recon it could be one of the neighbours alarms?? im going to go up there soon see if i can get it startedbut the worst thig about it is you cant even start the ignition so i cant even use the bosh computer to start the bloody car

 

That is nice , how much for that build ? Any ideas

 

Those batteries are supposed to be changed each year.

As for interference, I thought that problem with the sigma alarms was a thing of the past.

 

sounds like what I had, it only did it on my drive.

 

God knows bud, found the thread on NAISOC. The yanks love their hatches its perrins own car

 

A good few quid in Perrin parts then :-D

 

Aye just a bit lol I'm taking it the yanks don't pay anywhere near as much as us for their parts, because I cannot believe how many American students cars are running a whole host of perrin parts! I mean what do we pay for a perrin front mount? It's about £1500 is it not? Even if I had that to spend I think I would have a hard time spending that when I knew I could pick up an HDI front mount for less than half that !!!

 

Yup. They don't need to pay to ship it to uk. Uk customs and handling charges and moneys to a company to bring it in for you ( unless you buy it yourself)
I really wanted all my stuff in Perrin. Was chatting to the guy from Perrin and got a good deal on it but still way more than just buying decent stuff from over here !

 

And Dollar to Pound exchange rate.

The Perrin FMIC is good, nice in stealth black, but priced as you note!

 

There was an issue with parking at certain petrol stations that had mobile phone masts at / near them ... it jammed the alarm signal.

Push the car some yards down the road and all is well!

Dunno if that's your problem tho!

 

scoobyclinic sell perrin stuff

 

As Salsa says there is some sort of interference effecting the frequency used for the keyless operation (not the alarm circuit frequency) which operates on a frequency similar to that used for EPOS systems.

As some have found it can be effected by nearby wireless household alarm circuitry. I also believe mine was effected by BT testing their fibre cables outside my house.
Usual way around it is to use the key to get in, the alarm keypad PIN to turn off the alarm if on and then place (as listed in the owners handbook) the key fob next to the dash directly above the start button and try to start. If the key symbol stays lit then I think your only course of action is to move the car until out of the interference area.

 

Guys
Does anyone have any info on a white hatch 330's in the Mansfield area,been to look at one today but the engine has a knock/rattle,the dealership I visited are planning on a repair/rebuild just wondered if the previous owner was on here or someone who knew the car in question

Reg is LR09 ***

Colour white with black lower side stripes with Sti decals,Sti 330 5 spoke alloys etc

Mileage 58000

Just after a little history on the car

Cheers marcus

 

Have you asked on midlands Scoobies or UK Scoobies

Its not a car I!be seen about.

Is it diffinetly a 330s? Recaro seats, keyless entry and start button and DVD sat nav?

Find out what they are doing to the car.

Have you a link to it?

 

Have you bought it as a search comes up as sold for a 330s in Mansfield, was it at pentagon?

 

Hi mate

Yep definitely a 330 with the recaros/nav/keyless etc
It's at pentagon and the previous owner chopped it in for an Astra gtc thingy,I have not purchased it as yet,waiting to find out what work is needed on the engine and what there plans are for the repairs etc

It's classed as sold because I have put a "refundable holding deposit" on the car before inspection,the car itself is in very good order just the engine issue lol,I will put up a picture if I can figure out how on the iPad

Regards marcus

 

hi everyone, i want to lower my 2009 hatch sti 30-40mm dont really want to spend the money on coil overs atm so looking at springs. any recomendations or pictures

thanks

 

Don't go lower than 25mm or so or you will ruin the roll centre.

 

sorry whats roll centre? i have the oem 17s dont really want to change them just want it to sit a little lower

 

Prodrive/Eibach's (black springs) drop it 10mm all round. Mine were £400 fitted

sits like this on 17s


the ProR (blue springs) don't fit unless you have the spec-c suspension.

 

it's a lot of car for the money it's on at, just make sure you find out what they'll do to it and get a compression test done in case there's any other engine issue, I take it they'll give 12months warranty on it too?

Have you popped to Europa Subaru in Sheffield to see what they can offer you, I go there for my servicing... very nice ppl to deal with.
