Default a few questions for you lot who know scoobs

what cc or colour are standard v5 sti injectors?

are oil catch cans worth having & why?

whats the best diff ratio to go with & what model are they from?

if fitting coilovers with 18's with 225/40's on will i need to remove front wing inner arch lining?---i want the arch to sit just above the tyre

is cleaning the injectors an easy effective diy job or is it a send away job?

thats all i can think of at the moment there will be more just having a mind block...my reason for these questions are i have had the car for over 2 years now i took it to santa pod once and ran a 13.1 and i have done nothing to her since then decided a couple of months ago i started to pull my finger out get the paint work sorted got the coilovers now gonna start having a play with it so any info is much appreciated

cheers

550 pinks I think

Catch cans collect oil vapours from the engine so you can dispose of it rather than it being burnt off through the intake system.

Diff ratio depends on what you want to do. 4.1 is an acceleration short ratio diff, 3.9 is taller so not so highly strung.

If you fit coilovers, just set the height to what you want.

Injectors need flow testing to sending them away is the way forward.

I "think" its a 4.11 on a ty752 gearbox. I think the uk v5/6 had the ty754 box with a 3.9 and taller 5th gear.

440cc injectors on all v5\6 cars

Yes, oil catch can stops oil vapour being circulated around the inlet system...as long as the catch can doesn’t choke the breather system.

some people go for a modified 5 speed by using the taller 5th gear from a UK 754 box.

6 speeds have very short ratio's, shorter than what you have at the mo.

I'm sure just as others have mentioned the standard injectors are yellow 440cc. I thought the pink injectors were on newage cars as standard. WIth your arches you are going to have to get them rolled. The other questions I don't know.
