[What have you done to your car today?]

Replaced it last year with a v4 sti coupe.Bought of club member STI typeR.

Excellent replacement,love it.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Sold my v2 redwrx wagon after 7 years ownership.

70,000 ks and 14 oil changes.

Replaced cam belt 3 years ago.

Great car and many happy times.

Seems a bit odd not seeing it parked out back but life goes on.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Do the wrc cars run oem air box for homoligation reasons?

[Going on holiday! What tools to take incase the suby s***s itself..]

Credit card.

[God awful noise from my engine]

Cam belt idler bearing?

[$145 quote for inner cv boot replacement.]

Sounds fair.

I just got one done ,cost $120 cash.

[semi-forged pistons...]

It appears that semi forged should read semi-solid forming.

The pistons are created in a semi solid state and if you want to find out more google search teksidaluminium and all will be revealed.

[OLD Dyno Leaderboard Top Twenty]

180-190 kw at the wheels would be my guess.

[tuning options for my type r]

There is a chipped ecu available from a japanese company called MINES.

REmoves speed cut,slight boost increase and i think does some fueling changes.

You might find one on trademe,sell for $150-$300.

[ej20r noise?]

Has your engine got hydraulic valve lifters?They can make a noise on start up if they are sticking.

[WRX Diesel - Angry as !]

Wont do it any harm.The small amount thats mixed with the 98 will act as an upper cylinder lubricant.Dont thrash it till it stops smoking as the octane rating may be reduced a little and could lead to detonation.

[Where is my ECU?]

5 minute job.plug in and away......

[Where is my ECU?]

Passenger footwell..under carpet..under metal cover.

[180 km/h speed cut removal]

205/40 17 showing 60ks on speedo = 57ks on roadside speed radar readout.

215/45 17 showing 60ks on speedo=54ks on same roadside speed radar.

So you should be getting a less accurate reading if you have gone up in tyre size/ratio.

Makes you wonder what it would show if on original 16's,might have to try it one day.

[Another wrx question (kw at wheels)]

Has it got a link in it?

[do wagons make good track cars?]

And subaru prefer to call the gc8 five door sports estate a "Sports wagon"

[air flow through front bumper]

And the floor is spotless as well.

[Hay]

Mark,i would suggest you read the threads in the legacy and motor/turbo sections.

After you have read them all most of your questions will be answered.

If you still have any problems then ask on the forum.

The best way to learn about something new is to do lots of reading first.

Cheers and have a happy day.

[do wagons make good track cars?]

Lower numbers are better...

Smooth brick 2.2

vw combi 0.42

lambo countach 0.42...Go figure that.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Someones weld break joker?

[What have you done to your car today?]

Or you live in christchurch.

[If Wellington has Done it, It will be in HERE]

So whats the answer to keeping the engines cooler when the ambient temp gets up to 30 + degrees?

[Oil Change & When to add Upper Engine Cleaner?]

Thats a good oil to use.I have used it in my wrx for 14 oil changes and had no problems.

I do use edge in the sti though.

[Lame Subaru Accessories]

Choice.Tyre caps for xmas,i hope.

[Engine tick]

V1 and V2 wrx have hydraulic lifters and these will stick and cause a tapping noise.

V3 and v4 sti have buckets over shims.

As stated most ej20 engines make some sort of odd noises and every car seems to have its own noise,i call it character and you will learn to live with it.Although it can be a bit disconcerting and can lead to mild mechanical paranoia at times.
