I took it for a spin and was just in awe of how fast it was. Walked straight into the house and paid. Dont know whether to keep it as a run about or try and sell it. Wouldnt wish it on anyone though!
3 inch exhaust with a decat on.
HKS mushroom filter
That's about it. The exhaust blows on the manifold when it's cold and it misses when it's cold.
I've considered burning it, not for insurance reasons either. Just because it feels like I burned my money. The 2k I was going to spend on this...
Decided this is going back on ebay. Its fucked, its quick in a straight line but has dodgy brakes and body roll. Does anyone know what a fucked subaru is worth? Ive done some turd polishing in my time but this tops it. Had a colour change done by a blind man. What the f**k did I smoke when this...
True, might cut my losses with this one and get another. My uncle was giving me a lecture on a high mileage RB5 yesterday as well, wish Id listened to him...
Edit: Think it's got boost spike?
Arghh, car got delivered today and it is not exactly what I was expecting :( has a major fuel cut off on WOT and the bodywork is pretty shabby. The lambda sensor is in the decat down pipe but it is not connected to anything? :/ Found a plug on the nearside wing that needs connecting to something...
I know it will have had one at some point i just dont understand why the decat wouldnt have a lambda hole welded in. Wont know for certain what it looks like until i get it on a ramp next week.
Thinking of andy forrest to remap it as well.
Bought an SWRD 255 fuel pump off scoobynet :) looking for an ESL so i can get it mapped asap, i don't want it to go bang.
Reading a bit more into them looks like the best option.
Havent picked it up yet, just paid a deposit and sorted the insurance. Ive had conflicting info, can classics be remapped or do you have to buy an ecu from a better model that will make it run better? Somebody suggested a 6k ecu for the decat exhaust. Glad for any advice fella im a novice on jap...
Every car I buy is a money pit, I just like modding and tinkering :). Fully trained mechanic so know my way round stuff and have access to ramps and diagnostic equipment at the last place I worked.
Guy I bought it off said a walbro 255? pump and remap will help it. It apparently has no lambda sensor because of the decat? I knew it was going to cost me money when I got it but not overly bothered tbh.
It was less than £1500? With a years mot and some tax.
95 Import WRX
TD05 turbo
Decat 3" back
HKS mushroom filter
Z4 ecu
That means nothing to me though I'm a Vdub man?
Won this on ebay, want to get the engine sorted and the wheels. Can see my bank account depleting already!
Insurance is 1k for 22 y/o which I didnt think was too bad considering its an import.
We had that the other night, 2 guys kept picking us off before we could get to the helicopter. Ended up fighting in a few little teams for about an hour. Love how random it is.
Gearboxes are made of cheese and engines go fucked but apart from that they are cracking motors!
Drove my dads and I remember going round a long sweeping bend on the m6 on the limiter and the front end going light.
I've got the bati 801 bike is that what you glitch with? Tried to sell my infernus the other day and it wouldn't let me because it wasn't worth over 50k :/
