Nice bay ! You got solid strut tops ,not seen ones quite like that .

 

they are just caps that go over the top to make it look a bit neater mate

 

has your inlet manifold shown any value ,is it standard ,its a smoothe look .

 

Thanks Matty, where did you get your fuse box cover from ?

 

it come standard with the car mate. It’s standard with all wrx’s I think. I’ve got 350 out of it though

 

a company called getbadass.com mate

 

Less is more imo. I've regretted every bit of coloured pipework and trim I've ever put on my cars, because it ends up looking tacky and cheap unless it's kept immaculate.
But if sitting at shows with the bonnet is up is your thing, then I suppose you've got to follow the crowd.

 

Kind approach I go for. Try to stick with what would be OE look. Only thing remaining on mine to do is replace hard intake pipe for one that looks identical to the IC pipework. I have it but its larger diameter than what's there so need map tweak for it

Wouldnt mind a black battery cover/top also

 

Hi all.

Can anyone confirm or deny that this is the correct ECU for 2007-10 STI?

 

JDM Revision B STI Spec C (Same for all option packs)

JDM ECU's

 

UK ECU's MY08-10

 

Thanks Don.

Not expecting a mad dash, but will leave this here, the ECU (not the case) is available for sale if anyone with JDM car needs a replacement or spare, just note i cannot verify it's in working order.

 

Since everyone is uploading photos of their engine bays, here is mine :P

 

Nice and simple engine bay Rob

 

Unmolested example ,good looking too .... !
This is the car id want if i were in the market .

 

My car has an AEM CAI, with the metal plate that blocks it off from the rest of the engine bay - should the front arch liner have a cut out at the bottom to allow airflow? It currently does have a big cut out (the corner is missing) but I’m not sure if this is required. I’d rather just replace the arch liner to keep everything neat and dry!

my last hatch Sti had the exact same cut out, so I’m guessing it’s either a common issue or a common mod!

 

Is there any point to the factory PPF? It was all stone chipped to death unfortunately. Just had pretty much a complete respray, really pleased with the paint job.

anyway, the car is coming along nicely. Just a few minor bits to sort, the red is now my favourite colour.

 

id be investing in a set of mudflaps for it - that'll save the rear quarters a bit in future

 

yeah, have ordered some Rally Armor flaps

 

i dont suppose anyone has come across this issue before?. my key light randomly starts flashing while im driving . ive put the fob up to the start stop button and changed batteries in both fobs, still does it. sometimes for a while and sometimes for a couple of seconds. no doors are open etc. just random.

 

Yeah, my JDM does it as well bud with both fobs. Changed the batteries on both fobs & still the same so I'm going to try lithium next.

 

Has anyone got a bonnet scoop for a hatch either stock or carbon that they may want to sell ?

 

there’s a very cheap complete bonnet on eBay at the mo (£50). Nothing to do with me, but it’s probably your cheapest / easiest option if you can collect.

 

I haven't noticed a cut out and will check later. I'm about to fit a cai and would be concerned about water ingress down there.

 

Large amounts of water ingress in relation to engine damage isnt so much a big deal but rain run off, damp & crud down in there does mean filters get very bad state very quickly if it's a daily driver in all weather. I fitted a k&n hydrophobic sock to my latest filter on it after this happened

Changing to a short ram intake once I get mapping slot

 

Gambit, does your car have a cut out in the wheel arch liner? That old filter looks pretty dirty. I’m just going to order a new liner I think, I’m pretty sure the cut out shouldn’t be required for the intake.

mine won’t be daily driven, so shouldn’t age too badly due to damp / rain / crud.

 

Where abouts is the cut out and I'll get a look today as swapping wheels over on car so perfect opportunity to have a look

 

it’s the bottom corner of the arch liner, directly behind the fog light. You would only see it from under the car

 

had a look and there does seem to be a gap on mine, though mine also has bumper bar and lower valance behind bumper removed due to front mount so not sure how much these pics will help
