Thanks. its all but all done except for the inlet piping which i am waiting on from Ebay, while modifying the old inlet manifold I cracked an elbow and cant be sure the Araldite fix is holding. What i didnt say earlier is that I actually bought a cheap estate Legacy from Germany in 2014 when I started the conversion job. This was the donor car from which I got the steering rack, dashboard, door cards and other bits and pieces. I also cannabilised a lot of the wiring and used it as a template to make all the measurements to put the clutch, steering opening and so many other things. Funniest thing, after I had tore the car literally to pieces and presumed it would only be good enough for spares. some guy bought it off me and put that one all back together again. The biggest headache was the wiring which took me a year even now, my windows dont work and the central locking is non existent. I will have to work those kinks out in time. I discovered that the RHD drivers door handle has some sort of sensor that is not on the LHD (now drivers side) seems this sensor along with another on the inside door is buggering things up. I downloaded the wiring diagram from a website but still....im stumped and I cannot seem to find the equivalent LHD drivers door handle on Ebay. Other mods include. - Powered drivers seat....I now have both front seats with power fore/aft adjustment - larger TMIC as ambient temps here are as high as 40 degC - Raised ride height (about 1/2 inch all round) - Bigger 225/50 tyres up from 215/45 on the same 17" rims No it isnt, friend Never Occurred to me. Looks like technically, that would have been harder with less returns

I've got a '08 S-GT manual, I always drive in 3rd in town unless the engine is fully warmed up. If you're just cruising you can have the rpms as low as you like, just if you need power you'll have to change down (obviously). As for boosting, it depends on the situation how much you rev it before changes. Hopefully this is helpful, stupid questions are fine - just watch out for stupid answers.

Hrm, if monthly running costs are already currently an issue, then storage and serving (bandwidth) of images is going to be off the hook. Why do you think Photobucket stopped allowing people to remote link images hosted with them without paying. Don't mean to hijack. Just saying.

Soooo, I too thought it was photoshop, until I came across this video of a Supra. Could be real!?

Tony had an awesome twin can setup that I largely copied and it worked really well, never had any issues with filling catch cans or anything. You will have to search around to find the photos of the setup in a post by Tony. If you are tracking the car, make sure you put a decent baffled sump in and the less modified the engine the better, less chance it's going to blow up straight away. Large power is definitely a bad thing at the track unless you have all the supporting modifications to keep it cool and reliable.

I have just brought my Fire Extinguisher for the Track day at Flat Nats next week and have a couple of general queries. Where is the best place to locate it (is there a specific place it needs to be?) I was thinking of mounting it either just in front of the passenger seat or on the trans tunnel next to the centre console. Any help would be great. I will be leaving in the car full time now so would like it to be out of the way for the wife when shes a passenger.

I picked it up from Palmside auto so have to make my own bracket. But that's ok. I was reading the track day rules and regs and they specify the size/type of fixings to use.

LOL love this guys commentary, that british accent just adds further to the comedy. bit outraged about that supra tho, what the heck was he thinking, even crazy 3000hp beasts do not need this level of tyre /spews

ayy do u have the rubber duck exhaust mod by chance? srs answer sorry not sure bro, i was expecting to hear a nice turbo whistle when i opened the link but it sounds nothing like it at all, i assume that sound is when you floor it , is it quite consistent at certain rev range? does it still seem to pull hard?

Hiya all, very noob question as I just picked up my first turbo vehicle. On my old NA Impreza I used to cruise in 4TH at 50 and hover on 2000rpm. My new one is an 07 Impreza (WRX?) S-GT hatchback. Whats the best way to drive it should I keep it above 2000? I know not to lug the engine, don't boost when it's cold etc. Don't even have an owner's manual which is great. If I am boosting is it better to hit 4000-6000rpm before shifting etc? Sorry for the stupid questions, Cheers.

LOL so true, the internet is full of those to add a note on that, the above about cruising only applies if your car is factory tuned or tuned well by someone who knows what they doing. if it has been aftermarket tuned you may wish to log some air fuel ratios or have someone look at the map. there are cases where people will tune only for WOT (wide open throttle) driving and neglect those low rev cruising situations also welcome to the forums / the club and throw up some pics of the car when you got a chance.

hi mate, now thats a big job you got on your hands, welcome to the forums and best wishes btw, this isn't James is it?

Very helpful, puts my mind at ease. Thank you!

Could try Apparelmaster or similar commercial washing/renting businesses. Sure they must flick on old ones that aren’t up to scratch for someone paying for the service but still reasonable.

If its a bracket from person running flatnats they are made to fit the passengers/drivers front seat mount bolts. But could go anywhere you like realy. If you make your own just make sure to use nylock nuts on the exstingusher bracket mount to steel. It wouldnt be fun if rattled loose

Skills Joker..

That's the question Ive always had. I don't know what we need in regard to size or whatnot but others have said we can afford to for paying members.

Step A : check the FAQ Step B : Find its not listed there anyway & those above seem to have it covered yeah flat Bar 4x holes done Step C : try the Motorsports section Because it seems like our intention to spread as much information as widely across as many sections as possible in this forum Yup there it is stickied in there, even has pictures not eaten by Photobucket yet

Yes. Took me 3 years working every other weekend and 2 attempts before I could get it right. The primary turbo lives just inbetween the brake booster and the starter motor but now angled slightly towards the water washer bottle. I also had to raise it by about 3 inches and remove the heat shroud. It meant I had to remove and alter both the collector coming from the exhaust link to the secondary and also the downpipe coming to the catalyst. The clearance between both is about 10mm but is enough. Same clearance between the steering universal joint and the turbo. Lots if heatwrapping going on in there. I dont have a carlift so I used the ramps to access everything. I am now working on opening a car repair workshop maybe in the new year.

On the front of the passenger seat there are 2 mounting bolts.. Cut a piece of flat steel longer than the spacing and drill holes in the right place. Bolt fire extinguisher bracket to this steel.. Mount this on seat bolts.. Make holes oversize so you don't strip thread in captured nut or you will swear..
