Thanks for all the replies guys,
I know it shouldn't really make any difference but I'm glad my car has gone to a good home.
Stupid ain't it! - As if it really matters once its gone!

Weird how you get so sentimental.

I took the ITG induction kit off in favour of a standard air box coz it kept messing up the MAF (hence the receipt you've got for a new MAF!).

The dealer didn't get much out of it then - did he give you any warranty?

You should check out this:
http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=244767

(Help with a clicky please someone!)

Some nice pics of your new car and Steve Fort's P1.
WHICH IS ALSO FOR SALE IN THE SAME GARAGE!!!!!

Just a small hint for anyone interested!

I am selling my STI V5 Type R. Probably a silly question but would they only take your car in on a part x or will they buy it off you?

What kind of spec was your car if you don't mind me asking? age/miles/mods etc?

Clive checked the car over today and founf that the engine has been apart, due to having new gaskets and seals in many places.

It looks as if the work has been carried out within the past 6 months ( i think this not clive)

The car has now started smoking like anything when started from warm,

Any thing to confess ????
Did the Induction Kit kill the MAF sensor thus cusing serious Overboost and Bang. goodbye bottom end ???

Could you please let me know whats happened to her so i can fix her Properly.

Could be this...... http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?ThreadID=186790 I suppose. New engine should not be a drawback.

its just a pain in the ****, as i wanted a un modded standard original sti type r.

It looks as if the faults with the turbo as scoobysport stand by their engine re build.

Angry

Brian,

You have mail.

Although incredibly angry, I am trying to remain calm.

I really want to tell the truth to all on here but I have been advised not to.
