that pile of green poo keeps getting relisted at a lower price everytime.

Searched on fleabay but can't find your red beast. Definitely back on there last week. Will have a better search tomorrow while I should be working!

Ah there she is. What a beauty!

£600 for disc and pads seems too much(for these money you should have used Brembo or new 330mm K-Sport) ,fuel pump cost from £49-£99 including VAT


In NI you don't have mapper,which can map your car for fuel used in NI,because any your engine will be at risk there if its not mapped for your fuel

How about this for engine swap?

just to put you all in the picture im not going ahead with the rebuild or engine swap after some advice. decided to sell the car and it is now sold

thanks to scoobyclinic for all there advice and help with the car down the years

now on to the next project, another scooby? i dont know? but theres an M3 for sale near me and its giving me "that" look. the bitch!!!!

cheers for all the advice :)

well done m8 im sure selling as is was the best thing to do

How much did you sell it for ??

what was the car mapped for originally 116ron race fuel? E85 would have been better fuel than the vast majority of fuel on the mainland and certainly better than the crap we have in the north.

jura, there are plenty of mappers in Northern Ireland that could have sorted that car out. E85 is only for sale in the south of ireland.

That's good news for OP,due this i would suggest contact and use mappers from NI,if car is used mainly in NI or if can have switchable maps one for using at NI and one in UK etc.

im sure i read something in total impreza this month that said imprezas wont run on that fuel.

So is there no 99 Ron in Northern Ireland & the Republic?

Could be mistaken but the op said there was 99 ron in NI but it was also 5% Ethanol. That’s what caused the problem. Was unknown.

there is no 99 ron in Northern Ireland. you can go over the border into the south and fill up wit E85. best we can do in NI is SUL or 97ron. Now i stand to be corrected but doesn't methanol/ethanol protect against detonation? i would have thought that the 5% mix would have increased the knock resistance rather than making the car run lean. but hey what do i know.
