Almost as bad as risking just saying that... :

Lots of potential causes for that.. AFM is a common cause. Otherwise vacuum hose loose somewhere? Idle control valve?

People still voting after the fact.. lol. Like trying to place a bet at the TAB after the full time whistle

I dunno, seems a bit pointless. You'd think if the number correlated to something, then you'd still be able to get a list of what that was

I'm the opposite, start to look less like an STI without the spoiler IMO

Bugger, thanks. Guess i'm playing the waiting game until it can go to the mechanic on Tuesday then

Ok, so learnt a few things tonight. First was a bit of a facepalm moment.. realised that light was for an "engine fault", but didn't realise it was the actual check engine light since on my BG legacy it would actually say "check engine". Am i clever or what..
Second being that they made the connectors for checking the fault codes too short, what a bloody pain in the butt! Shoulder was ok, now its sore after that contortionist effort to connect/disconnect the f@#ckers about 4 times (ended up resetting ECU as well)
Lastly, people think you're stealing a car when you're in a stupid position, mucking around in the drivers footwell on the side of the road.
Anyway, so i've come out of that with nothing really. Flashed long 13, short 9 (even after reset).. wtf does that mean? I assume nothing since there's no such code as 139?! And since it just flashed continuously and then stopped when i did the ECU reset. Or am i doing that wrong too :
After all that, i'm thinking this thread is useless, given that i can't provide any useful information as to what could be wrong!

2002 BH5 GTB
120,000km +
Unmodified
Oil/filter change ~4000km ago
Have hardly been driving the car recently due to shoulder surgery, probably out of action for around 2 weeks just sitting in the driveway. Has now had 2-3 short (5-10min) trips in the last week, and all seemed as usual until tonight when this popped up:
(Stolen from the interweb)
Seems to run fine still, have only been cruising, no boosting or silly sh*t so not sure what it drives like under pressure yet, didn't want to bust anything even more than it might already be. No funny noises, no smoke.
Any suggestions of things i can check myself before calling a mechanic? Bearing in mind i currently have the use of 1.5 arms, and my previous mechanical genius consisted of oil changes and boost gauge install.. so i know where most bits are in the engine bay, but reasonably basic. Will see if any "check engine" codes come up first

it was a "drag" race.
So 400m ie 1/4 mile???

derp
Didn't realise this was being done on an official drag strip..

gda = v7 chassis, sedan
gdb = v8 chassis, sedan
Actually GDB is for version 7-10 (and 11?) and the change in letter is after that, i.e. GDB revision A is a "version 7", GDB revision F is a "version 10". The revision changes are almost year to year, but not quite, it's much more confusing than that, but someone else can probably explain it better.
And I think GDB was for STI's, GDA was WRX

TPS = throttle position sensor

Take the black off, carbon fibre bonnets belong on race cars only, and bonnets made to look somewhat like carbon fibre just don't belong IMO. Maybe some people paint them black or matte black just cos they like the look.. but always comes across as trying to be carbon fibre and failing.
No offence, each to their own, i'm just not a fan

Doubters, doubters...
NZ Autocar tested the 03 Legacy GT 2.0L 206kW manual and got the following numbers;
0-100km/h 5.57sec
80-120km/h 3.77sec
Wow, well if that's true then fair enough. I'm pretty sceptical that those numbers are accurate, but i've got nothing to back that up, so you win
I thought the 2L v10 i had was quicker off the mark than the 2.5L as well, but still above 5sec
-
More relaxing and almost as quick.
Really? I'd have to disagree. I test drove a manual BP just before i bought my old V10, and then again when i owned it (thinking i wanted to get more practical) and they were worlds apart in terms of "quickness"
Not to say that the BP/BL's aren't great, i'd love one. But no point comparing to an STI of the same era IMO. I know you said "almost", but i still disagree..
