HELP me find the owner

[RaKid]

Hey guys,

 

Massive long shot. I was at a private wrecker in Hamilton the other day just looking for some bits to touch up my v6 and the wrecker just got in this VERY nice v5 STI that was written off when something on the road pierced the bumper, fmic and smashed into the head, writing off the car. It became obvious to me that this was someones pride and joy as the car was immaculate and a tonne of money had been spent on it performance and handling wise, and keeping it very straight and clean.

 

One thing lead to another and I bought all the good bits when I was only there for some wiper blades. It's a full tdo6 twinscroll conversion, link g4, complete xforce exhaust system, complete fuel system blah blah you get the picture. 

 

There were some invoices/receipts floating around that had PF automotive on it and the number plate. Called PF and they haven't heard of it which I was surprised about. Called dtech, nothing.

 

I'm pretty keen to find the previous owner and have a chat about the setup as it's going into my gc8g. The number plate was BBM798

If anyone knows any history on this I would be pretty keen get in touch. TIA!

Dude what a score!

Sad for max tho : oh well

[RaKid]

Wow I just read that entire thead. Guy loved the car man. So I'm I right in thinking the kinugawa turbo compressor was swapped to the scarles housing? 

 

Really appreciate the replies guys, much easier to understand what I've bought.

 

Did max ever get around to dyno tuning the car? 

[Joker]

@evowrx seems to be in the know on these sorts of things Clint? any clues?

[Guest]

Ive got him on fb if reqd. Was self tuned iirc. Not sure if he ended up doing engine or not. He was running the ej205 with the 20g.

Think that was the td06 setup murch did for @marc. Spence had it at one point after I think.

[RaKid]

Seems to be self-tuned after reading that yes. I would like to get in touch if you don't mind. I'm busy doing a forged rebuild on mine and all of these parts will get swapped in so any info is good info.

Made contact with previous owner - thread can be closed now. Thanks for the help guys. If anyone is interested I may do a small write up on the twin scroll swap etc.

Going on the old girl?
Wouldn't mind a nice garage write up

[RaKid]

It's going onto a GC8G - same as what it came out of. I should update my signature to be honest. Although I have tried to buy back the RA! It now lives very close to me after spending many years with banksy.

[94 Leone]

My old V5 STi? or did that sell?

[RaKid]

Ah you're talking about the V5 - had to sell that - but might be buying it back this weekend so I have a car while I build this. I thought you were talking about my '92 BC5RA.

[94 Leone]

Nah, knew you didn't have that anymore. Early sound of aggressive EJ + twinscroll= glorious @vadzter has a TS setup on his BC5 too

Too true! Gave her some love last night. Such a nice car. Few tidy up bits I wanna get on to that I didn't get a chance to do last time. 

 

Thought I might teach the Mrs to drive manual in this. New clutch should make it easier :-D 

[94 Leone]

eeew, bov. Each to their own. Well; she's ruined now, may as well twin scroll her
