if your stuck we can custom make a set to specifically match the thread used......can turn around fairly quickly normally

from memory Steve uses M14x1.5mm whereas most others including ourselves standardise on M14x2mm pitch for the block

Looking awesome Adrian and you will love AD08R,they're awesome tyres for day to day driving and awesome on track too

Nice one JuraI did drive the original AD08 tyres and found them to be superb,but I only had a days use when I was baby sitting my mates impreza for him when he went for a naughty weekend to Paris with his wife.so did not really get a good drive but when I spoke to a couple of mates that do track days they recommended these,and like you said they also told me they were great for road and track.I Think the only difference between the AD08 and the AD08R is that the "R"last longer and are a quieter compound.SJ.

Few more parts turned up today I'm nearly there now.As I'm going to be fitting a new inlet manifold I thought I would get a new throttle body to finish the look so I ordered a S90 from Malaysia it looks to be a well made bit of kitAnd after talking to my mate who has purchased the new RCM oil filter and said that his oil pressure has increased by the reading on his gauge I thought it would be a simple mod to try,I know the RCM brand is very high quality and can be trusted,so I brought a couple OH yes one more thing turned up today my PERRIN radiator brackets.The next updates should be from my engine in my car and other interior mods,the only thing that I have left to be delivered is my new radiator set up which should be here in a week or so,hopefully if all goes well I should be up and running in a few months I have also asked Paul blamire of ZEN if he can set the SYVECS up on my car as he has been the only Guy to map my car since I brought it in 2004 and he said he will make the journey down as long as I give him enough notice,so everything is going to plan.

S90 THROTTLE BODY.


PERRIN RADIATOR BRACKETS.


RCM OIL FILTER.


More to come soon.SJ.

Cool bits mate, I like the older throttle bodies looks a nice bit of kit

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

Yeah thanks mate I thought that I will give the S90 a try I'm not expecting any gains but it does l@@k good and should be easier to keep clean as the original Subaru throttle body don't polish up so wellSJ.

GezP

iTrader: (23)

Keep it nice and clean and it will look the business. The hawks throttle body is all electrical, boring black plastic box

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

Never knew that about the hawks Gez,this one should be easier to keep shiney though as it's made out of T6 aluminium billetSJ.

just read this all the way through..very nice indeed.

good to hear about the rcm filter adding pressure as ive just bought one for my next oil change.

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

cheers mate.I have another friend using the RCM filter as well and he said his oil pressure is definitely better compared to the original Subaru oil filter which is still good but the RCM one seems to be better,I cannot make a definitive comment yet as I have not used one yet but both of my friends run oil pressure gauges on there cars and they both said that there is a definite rise in the oil pressure gauge.SJ.

your obviously very clued up on subaru`s,im pretty new to these coming from honda`s.maybe you can help me with a little issue i may have.
im going to get my 2006 blob sti mapped and have just bought a decat downpipe from a guy on here,it only has a lambda port where the 2nd cat would be but doesnt have one at the top of the downpipe,most that ive seen for my car have the port at the top aswell..will mine require one or not?
i can get a port tig welded in no problem if it does need one.

cheers mate.

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

No mate you won't need it,usually it's a extra port if you want to run a optional sensor like a air fuel ratio or exhaust gas temp etc...SJ.

brens.scoob

iTrader: (1)

excellent.

thanks mate..whens the engine going in.?

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

Hopefully in a week or twoSJ.

brens.scoob

iTrader: (1)

going to be a beast..

also do you think its worth heat wrapping the downpipe.?

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

Yeah it's worth doing especially if the downpipe is already off of the car,use a good quality wrap though like DEI.SJ.
