Default New Bod!

Olla!

I'm aaron, I recently moved from Berkshire to essex. I was part of the Berkshire Subaru club. I have a 97 jdm WRX classic, it's the one with all STi parts except forged goodies! I bought it at the start of this year and it is a slow burning project which has had very little done but with lots waiting to get done! (You all know the score haha!!)

How the "fish sticks" you get pics onto here, beats me, so until I work that out I cannot show current state picture of my little sleeper!

I have a VDUB TDI passat as a daily. And when I get out to a meet this is more than likely the car you will get to see.

Current situation.... Just turned the sleeper over and she won't go into gear?? Had no signs of gearbox crunching or on its way out, the clutch has a mid to low biting point (or did have until this occurred, now there's none!) so any food for thought would be wonderful!

Hope to meet some of you soon at a meet!

Merry freaking Christmas and all that stuff xxxxx

P.s I DO NOT rock out on Facebook.

Just to mention that bonnet set up is starving your intercooler of cool airflow

Tell me about it. It's a facelift bonnet and I need a pre facelift. Plus, my intentions are to convert to FMIC and get no vents or as little vents as possible to give it a less aggressive look! I.E sleeper lol

Isn't the idea of a sleeper that it surprises others with its power compared to its looks ? Why the sticker broadcasting the fact ?

Welcome to the site.

As a former Stealth Wagon owner I welcome you to the ESOC with your Sleeper.

Stealthy is good.



With the engine running are you saying it will not let you select any gear?

Will it select a gear with the engine off then not let you turn the engine over with the clutch depressed?

If it spends a lot of time not being used it sounds like the clutch plate may be stuck to the flywheel face.

yes it does not move alot. or not as much as id like haha. so plate is stuck then as yes it will fall in gear turned off but engine running it will not budge. cheers for the help. Another fun job to fix!
yeah stealthy is where it is at!! how mine is at the moment is not how I want it. im not fussed about looks getting changed yet. need the power first then the body work will be done!!
