Has anyone got pictures of the above? Looking to fit a DV.

Thanks

Dave.K

You can have a look first hand if you like at mine, as i live on iom to.

RB5_IOM

What MY do you own. What colour is your scoob, might of seen you around

Dave.K

MY98 V4 STI Type R. White, the one with the 18" alloys, Blitz NUR exhaust and sti8 scoop.

Wrx Iom

Was yours fitted before you owned the car or did you fit it yourself?

We had a look at Hutchy's (Rb5 iom) but couldnt figure out where it would go?

His engine looks totally different to my 94 Wrx.

This is My bay after CD2 clean.

Dave.K

Yes fitted it myself.

His engine is a different version to yours, and mine but only slightly.

From 99 on, which his is, the dump valve it bolted directly to the inter cooler.
With an aftermarket DV you can just bolt it on or you will require an adapter with hosing, depending on which DV you fit.

Its an easy job to do, as I said if you want to look at mine first to get an idea no probs just give us a shout.

Looks tidy mate.

And am interested in hearing RB5 IOM's cos I have a blitz NUR but still have catted down pipe, but cant remove until new ecu and remap.

DV in bottom right hand corner:
bolts directly to intercooler on later models.

Can do mate, you will hear it before you see it................

Big improvement from the standard though.

Waiting for my HKS DV to arrive. Cheers for the info.

Hey WRX_Iom...

That looks like my old one!?!

Does the reg end in 2B by any chance??

Mark... (another Manxie!)

Wrx Iom

Yeah it sure does.

It must be your old one. Thanks for selling it...I love it!!

I have some plans for her, just need to save up!

Did you fit the after market parts or were they on it when you got her?

markpm

Hehe,

Good to hear the old girls still going strong then!

Nah, I didnt fit anything, There was an Induction kit, dump valve (quite a noisy, blow grannies off the pavement type of one!) and a Jap slash cut 'zorst on it when I got it.

Was bought by a guy in PSM called Dickie summat straight after I had it but dont know what he did to it. Think he may have upgraded the brakes though...

I did notice it had those awful Lexus style lights on the back a while ago and I nearly cried!
Each to their own I suppose, but I cant stand em!

Did you know I think its actually a Mk1 STi by the way?
I looked up the chassis number on the net and it seemed to tally up. It also has the 'i' badge on the front rather than the stars, and the pink bits on the strut brace. The engine top isnt red, but apparently they never did that till later on...

Keep 'er looking good mate!

Mark...

Wrx Iom

I will need to have a look at the chassis numbers and model codes. Not so sure its an Sti as the Interior is just the normal Grey with red bits. (Not the Sti logod ones) I will investigate.
The lights are on until i can find some reasonably priced Sti ones. I only paid £131 for these Lexus ones. (Not the £240 that some places want!)

I do think it's a matter of taste, some like em and some dont.

I have just fitted a bigger D Valve on her so it's even louder now.

The brakes have been upgraded last year, but they seem to have been missused. They are a bit warped now.

What are you driving now??

Scooby i hope??!!

markpm

Yep,

Now got a Sonic Blue '99 STi 5 Type RA Ltd Edition, number 510/1000
Only mod I have done is put a TSL Firestorm backbox on it, nice and rumbly and pops a bangs a bit too when hot!

I thought the silver one was quick, but this one is ridiculous!
300 PS standard (about 296bhp) but must be just over the 300bhp with the exhaust on!

By the way, are you RB5_IOM's brother by any chance?
If you are I live just up the road from him!

Have a look on these sites for chassis numbers/info etc...

RB5_IOM

Not the only one who dislikes the lexus lights then. Sti lights yes, MAX POWER saxo lights NO.....................

Only messing WRX IOM.

No I am not related to WRX IOM, different spelling of surname.

I have just fitted a nur spec r exhaust and decat downpipe, if you hadn't heared...............

I take it that you are Mark from Skanco then???

Not stalking, work for BACX in IT. I think you probably know me.

Wrx Iom

I will check the chassis tomorrow, cheers for the links.

You must be the guy on RB5 Iom's street. (Ballabrooie) or summit like that!!

Has she ever seen the outside of your garage by any chance?
She never seems to come out and play. You must be keeping her all to yourself!!

Post some pics so we can all drooll over her! or send me some and i will post em for you.

Hutchy, stick some Sti lights on your card for me please mate! and i promise not to tell on you about all your other purchases!!

markpm

Yep, you got me.
You are who I thought too!

I dont post much on here, prefer SIDC forums, more locals on them...

Woke me up this morning at 6.30am you git!
Nah, seriously, sounds nice mate, although the other 'arf has been calling you all the names under the sun!!!

Do you and WRX-Iom work together then?

I setup the room at Restart for BACX the other week and noticed both names on the list today when I was clearing it all down (did notice the different spelling too actually!)

Yes WRX, she does come out and play occasionally, but I dont get much chance to drive her as Im on call for work a lot and have to have the van at home etc etc...

Wrx Iom

I know what i would choose to drive.

Yeah we both work in IT for Bacx. When is SIDC coming back to the island?

So have you got any pictures then?

Wrx Iom

Just checked my chassis number to the links and to my surprise!!

I own an Sti according to both of them!!!

So what did STI actually do to my car?

Anyone got any ideas????

GC8B48D

is the model number.

markpm

Yeah I thought I'd seen it as an STi too...

I think it has the pink suspension struts too, although I may be wrong, have a look up into the wheel arch...

I have some very crap pictures of mine on Fotopic taken with my exceedingly awful digital camera. Heres the link...

Wrx Iom

Couldnt get the link to work from my work so i will have a look when i get home!! Doh!!!

Will need to see her up close. Do you supply bibs as standard??

So so you know when Sidc are coming over again?

CustomScoobyIOM

Just thought I would butt in and say hello to another 2 IOM people!

I used to be on the island and left at Xmas last year.

Ive got the Yellow Type R that is around now and again

markpm

WRX-Iom,
Thanks for the appreciation, and yes definately "My Preciousssss!"

The SIDC UK lot as far as I know are coming over to join the SIDC Manx lot in late July early August. Its combined with when the Manx International Rally is on, which I always go and watch anyway so usually see a few of them about. Got to perfect the Scooby Wave that week too!

CSIOM,
Hi Jon, you already 'e-know' me from the SIDC forums mate (enCrypt on there)
Hows the Flying Custard going?!

Wrx Iom

Hello to you too!!

The type R's seem to be very popular. Do you have an as impresive spec sheet as Markpm's.?

Did you own yours when you were on the Island?

Also how we do get in on this SIDC meet etc... I wasnt allowed to join in on the road closure on the mountain last year?

What was i doing wrong? I do own a Scooby after all!

RB5_IOM

Keeping the neighbours happy then!!! Already had a few strange looks up and down the street. Get ready for another wake up call next Thursday................

same time same place!!

Working away alot at the momemt so lots of early morning flights.

RB5_IOM

So she does come out then..........

Just seen you pull outside mine.

Looking nice mate

markpm

Hehe, yeah, needs a clean at the mo though...Not got the van this week so she's going into work and back.

Thought I'd give you a blast of the Firestorm in return!

RB5_IOM

Wondered where the van had gone. Are you going to the IOM meet this weekend. Joined up to SIDC, seems to be a lot of locals on there.

RB5_IOM

Anymore pics?
