STI v3 Import Preparation
My STI v3 is finally in the country and will be with me shortly. All I have to do is fit a rear fog light and MOT it.
On the issue of the fog light - where's the best place to take a 12v feed that is live when the lights are on? Purple wire from the front fog switch?
I've got a KPH-MPH converter that goes into the back of the speedo cable, however as my car has 240kph clocks I'm debating whether to fit it - a 240mph clock could be a bit silly.
I've heard that these cars should only be run on 100+RON fuel, so have some octane boost ready. A longer term solution is to get a PowerFC fitted and mapped which I am saving up for.
Is there anything else I should look out for/replace, other than having a major service? I've heard the MAF sensor can be problematic, but think this was on later cars?
Thanks for any advice
