@boostin is there an official release on the ringland or blend failure?

Have you got research on hand on this? Doesnt make heaps of sense would like to know more.

I thought the v7 sti map was one of the better base maps as they had a company car or something they spent a fair bit of time testing with.

I had a light one circa 4kg ish and loathed it as a daily. Couldnt see any merit to it tbh. Hated the way it died on casual downshift and coming to a stop.

Need to have a red reflector visible on the rear iirc.

As @McMatty said doesnt mean you will fail a wof. Just means if you get pulled up by a cop who wants to make a point you won't be driving home as it could be deemed unsafe.

Worth noting tinting tail lights is illegal.

Testing in the UK backs this up. Lifting the bonnet is a bad idea.

Go to a #w40 PAO next time round as you're beating on it.

Possibly. Will only know once you have logged temps. What oil are you using?

Being a td05 you can delete the turbo cooling. Just bypass or I blocked mine with appropriate bolt and copper washer. Deleted the top side when I switched to custom header tank.

Would have to wonder if the owner wasnt too concerned if it got stolen...

@RaKid I reckon your mum would've told you to go make your room messy as a kid. Love how clean and fresh you get everything you work on.

Cheers dude but I'm rocking a work so theyre of no use to me currently.

Those bgw rims are 4 stud.

Says Subaru all over it too. Looks deceptive as it doesn't look like a 1160x1160mm export pallet.

V7 sti shortblock?

Pretty straight forward just follow your nose and make sure you keep track of how youre pulling it apart. Half the case will come off leaving the gearsets etc in the other. Think the drivers side is the side that lifts off. When splitting the cases hit a solid spot on the rim with a rubber mallet rather than smashing a screwdriver between the faces. When reselling use a thin smear of silicon so it doesn't squeeze any excess into the box.

Without pics thats a wheely lame post dude.

Heaps easier than what you're used too. Editing on the fly will be a refreshing change.

Heck that wouldve been tough to swallow...😜

Cant be too hard to fit a x9 in there with the amount of guys running 9-9.5 on the gdb chassis.

Give @Subirex Automotive a call or pop in and see him.

The only point in tuning first is to quantify gains which only matter if you need to justify $ spent to yourself or you are compensating for something 😉

A 3/8 ratchet with short extension and elbow with a deep socket is my preferred method.
