Come and have a go in mine Carl, im pushing 350 now, could be either Wheel horse power figures or its pulling timing because of overboosting.

looking forward to the new figures (330)

 

Just been texted by my mate at the local Subaru garage, going for a test run in the new STi on Thurday night, will report back .

 

enjoy

 

I thought that, but there's two mappings, one for 225 and one for 265, the 07-08 is 225 and 09 onwards is <supposed> to have 265, I got a '59 plate but god knows how long its been in the subaru parking lot before going to the dealers. I suppose it wont matter after it gets mapped proper. Im fed up of the banger they gave me. Astra 1.6, 17 year old. Good nick (excellent even) just no guts.

 

cheers carlh cheers h

 

265bhp is with ppp fitted

 

just enjoy it Carl and dont get phased by figures mate, as long as it makes you smile thats all that matters, anyone who knows there stuff will agree that 300bhp is plenty power for our roads

dont start chasing figures................its get expensive and only breaks your heart, like my old EVO

 

+1,Your spot on H, took the words right out of my mouth,,,, now where`s my chequebook.?

 

+2, Hammer man you beat me to it, once you get the car back i think you'll find its quick enough, i only chase figures because i can do it for free, by the way H what was that you was saying the other night about more power, silicone inlet

 

hows yours going any further forward with the problem

 

Im about ready now. Ive got all the bits, and I think I know which way im going with the engine. Looking forward to cracking in and seeing what caused the compression loss. When I know, I will of course let you all know, so you dont make the same mistakes I made. I had a chat with Kev from scoobyclinic yesterday up at scooby shootout about thier sc billet turbos and Im looking forward to it all.
Cheers for asking Mark, see you and all the others again soon..

 

too many Strongbows

 

very true you was funny

 

Hope so, last time we met up was at the P1 meet.

 

Hammer, they were testing a SC50 there when I visited Kev, it sounded like a jet engine. Which one are you going to go for?

 

Will do H. Think this has cost me enough so I'll just do some things inside the car, which is a lot cheaper and just as fun.

 

Im running twin scroll and I will be going on the advise given to me by Kev at the clinic and David at API, as to which will be the most suitable for me. They work on these engines all day long and know them inside out, where as I know absolutely nothing about them. Im after as much "road usable" torque (with the odd track day here and there) as possible.

 

It was mate, and it seems like it was ages ago. I stopped using the car after that weekend. There is nothing worse than having your car off the road, just sitting there getting dirty. Driving it would of only made things worse internally so I had no choice.
I was sitting in the pub down the town in Leamington on the sunday meet a few weeks back, watching you lot rumble past. It wont be too long before I can get on the back of the "convoy". I like the sound of the drive up north in Feb, so maybe I will meet you all again at that one.

 

hammer you know you are more than welcome to jump in with one of us anytime mate

 

Cheers H.

 

i know that feeling hammerman having car off road mine was off for months i was so gutted

 

and now we cant get him out of it, he drives to his local supermarket which is seconds from his house loooool

 

no get it right i go down stairs drive round block go in shop then back up stairs

 

Im Doing Shakespeare raceway on the 16th, if you fancy it, i'll pick you up on the way through.

You can drag my car down the track if you want get your speed fix

 

HARDCORE !

 

in that shirt i got

 

Just reading Total Impreza (sept-oct issue) and there's a guy called Nathan with a P plate 2.0 scoob on page 80-87, whos in WMI. There's also a mention of WMI on there, with the web address and he's got the stickies on the back windows. Nice One. Has Nathan been to the last couple of meets as I dont recall seeing him?

 

Hi Carl, Nathan is a WMI member although he hasnt been to the last few meets due to recent work commitments (he is on FB)

 

I did scooby shootout last weekend and Timeattack this weekend. Think a day at the raceway would be nice but Im supposed to be saving for a simtek or syvecs. If I feel the urge though, I will get in touch. Its a very kind offer Mark, thanks

 

evening all
My Pizza is nearly ready....YUM !
