Car has been built and maintained by the guys at Pole Position who can vouch for the car and its performance. I'll try and get it down to Scooby Clinic for a dyno run soon.

I'll update the pictures later this week.

 

How come your selling Birchy I thought you only just got her done and mapped on meth mate?

 

I have, literally last week. Picked it up Monday.
Quickest way to get help get the Deposit together for a house unfortunately.

 

Bummer mate,must be killing you.
Mind I went to break mine 2 weeks ago and now I'm doing a massive overhaul and extensive upgrade of the outside lol.
GLWTS anyway mate it's a nice motor you have there

 

Cheers mate, don't really want to sell it but if i got the deposit and kept the car it would never get used unfortunately. Don't really want to sell it but if i do i'll be back. Only have to buy your first house once!

 

Sleeper.........Love that!

Bet its upset a few high spec motors looking so standard.

Out of interest, whats the output on straight v-power?

GLWTS bud, would love that on my driveway next year

 

Right guys. new price as the car has an issue on it. 5300 for it.

its dropping compression with worn rings which have been quoted 1400 to replace by pp plus 300 off for the hassle of it. car still starts and drives just pushing alot of oil through the breather due to the pressure past the rings. if anyone knows anyone please point them this way!

 

fella you must be gutted

keep ya chin up though

 

I am mate. only mapped 2 weeks ago but looks like might have been running low compression for a while which is why it was smokey when first started. gutted but massivly angry too.

 

i dont know a lot about engines but im surprised a jdm engine is knackered what caused this then? too much bhp?

 

Worn rings on it are the problem. car runs and boosts fine just when you check get low pressure than it should. I've been told its normal wear and tear on some engines.

Its stupid with the power it makes and way it delivers it you'd never know there was a problem. even more stupid us all the common failures. cracked piston. rod failures or crank failures are all expected and well known but hey hoe.

 

Impreza ownership is a killer


bttt

xmas bargain for someone

 

fair play to you for being honest, i bought an 04 sti which was running what i thought was perfectly, had a random compression test done on a service and had 35 psi on cylinder 3!! worn valve seats, didnt even know as it drove perfectly fine and boosted fine!

GLWTS free bump

 

I may be in contact Birchy

 

worth that all day engine especially with the turbo and ecu god would love that 46 on mine and heads lol

 

good luck with the sale it is one hell of a sleeper

 

who mapped it 2 weeks ago ?

 

yeah its strange, listening to it or even driving it you'd never know, compression was only checked because oil hitting the catch can was coming back through the vent on it as it was that pressured. I could have stayed quiet and sold the car saying it was fine but its not my way of doing things.

Yeah mate just drop me a PM if you at all intrested. Can come down and see it, i'll take you for a spin.




As i hope so mate, i worked out what i can strip it for which is more but that takes time and i'd need to sort a unit.


Fud it was mapped by Andy Carr, but like i said, you'd never know driving it or listening to it.

 

New pictures taken this morning before work.

 

wounder mate,i was looking at your car at pole 2 weeks ago when mine was there,the blue bug sti.if you break it ill have that turbo mate,lol.
good luck mate.carl.

 

It is mate, Blue Bug? Prodrive one that was on the ramps when i came in?
Was a very nice bug!
and cheers mate.

 

Up we go!

 

Bump!

 

yhpm enroute

 

Replied mate

 

Cheers mate, its probably worth it, but not to me as I have just sold a good low mileage JDM long engine

If the price can deviate down more send me a pm buddy, good luck with the sale

Rob
