  1. sat down and hauled eh still, there's a bmw e36 out there with 1/2 the power that has lapped quicker
  2. v3-6 bonnets are all identical, there is no difference around the lights/grill area. There is only a difference comparing v3-6 to 1/2 bonnets/light/grill
  3. the GC sprayer works off the map sensor, once above 5psi it switches on for a bit
  4. wrong way round stoffa's talking about putting r180 hubs on and using r160 brakes. you guys are thinking r160 hubs and r180 brakes the v3 sti r/ra are a unique thing so none of the conventional methods are applicable anyway...
  5. no he cant .. the r180 diff requires r180 axles, r180 axles require r180 hubs. closest things he can do is run version 3 sti r/ra r180 hubs which use GC r160 brakes (but also require a special rotor), or use an r160 3.9 rear diff and his existing stuff. incidentally i have some complete v3 sti r hubs, rotors and calipers spare
  6. i'm saying ask him how it went and what the goss was
  7. Issac/nzkaos used to use them on his v5 sti
  8. the twisted + flipped v5 manifold works quite well, the turbo outlet can come flat across the top of the intake manifold runners, very tidy
  9. wont fit switch to single scroll and twist it
  10. Done this a couple of times... Take the bolt at the top off so the top hat and spring can come off Then there should be a nut on the bottom, undo that. Then the centre shaft should either come out, or be free to be unthreaded depending on the design. Once it's loose/free at the bottom the strut shaft will pull out of top of the housing
  11. what about cutting the speed sensor wire to the ecu?
  12. jesus christ firstly, the flutter noise is the boost gauge leaking because autogauge is shit secondly, you will measure negligible vacuum as you're not measuring after the throttle body thirdly, plumb it up properly, tee it to a vac line connected to the plenum
  13. on the circuitboard on the inside of the case there is a number 1 next to one pin
  14. your car has a third one especially for the dccd control system
  15. they're single axis, but there's two of them configured for lat and long. if you have a link you can incorporate them into dccd control
  16. yeah it's an accelerometer, part of the abs system. not sure about gc8's but the GD's have two of them to measure lateral and longitudinal acceleration if you have a link, hook it up to an analogue input and datalog it
  17. didnt feel a thing when i did mine i think the spec c ones must be half decent to begin with
  18. maybe he meant the wheel bearing? jack it up and have a squizz
