  1. I had an issue with the dccd in my type R a wee while back with the light flashing at me too if I tried to move the dial. Ended up just being a dirty connection in the plug to the dial, cleaned that up with contact cleaner and a wee scrub up and away it went again.
  2. Did the parts come through a company over in germany or was it random 22b second hand parts that happened to be in Germany? Am still needing some parts for mine and possibly an option if theyre cheaper than new sti prices.
  3. I had an allignment done on my car like that too, I hated it. felt like the ass end was swinging around in the corners. the guy reckoned it would help reduce wear on the tires. Went to another place for an allignment in another town and got it changed back. Car felt way more settled.
  4. Factory boost on my ver 4 was 15-16 psi. Never ran it over 18 but those couple extra pounds make a good diff. Should be hitting full boost by 3-3200rpm too if it has the vf24 on it still.
  5. Yeah I don\'t like their interiors either on the later evos, the dash setup doesn\'t look right to me at all.I\'d have a ver8/9 STi any day.
  6. Yeah it sure was on there for too long, but I guess good things take time. Wasn\'t gonna just give it away either. New owner was happy as soon as he saw it too. People mite see it round chch ways now.
  7. sold my car today. Almost shed a tear seeing it go but its time for someone else to care for it and all those 100 dollar bills cheered me up nicely ;D, Now to focus on me other subie
  8. Call it your retirement fund. Buy it, hold onto it for 20+ years and cash in $$$$
  9. another local here, just don\'t get on here often.
  10. Trickiest for me was undoing the turbo bolts. They can seize up real goood. I fitted a rage 2.5" and straight bolt up, and just used a steel hose clamp to hold the cat sensor onto the outside of the exhaust.
  11. I just drove past this car today. Guys had the bonnet up looking at it. looked like a tidy car from what I saw of it. Dunno who owns it tho
  12. A mate had his catch can mounted on the firewall on passengers side down low. had plenty of room in there to fit one. He also had a front mount so was easier to get to.
  13. Been there done that. then try giving it a clay bar then cut and polish and wax after that. took me all week lol.
  14. I had a 2.5" system on my rex. Had a rage siamese downpipe with my own built straight through stainless mid an rear section and a rage 4" tip muffler. Could set off car alarms while driving down the street lol ;D Found the packing had all blown out of the muffler after 5 years of use. Replaced the muffler and is at a nice level now. If you go stainless piping it will be a raspier note to it. It resonates more than mild steel pipe.
