Had a look at the car, a bit rough outside/inside, didn\'t go for a drive (a hubby wasn\'t home), got receipts for transmission rebuild ($3.5k through mechanical warranty ) and the cambelt/service. The car is in Panmure, anyone at that area? Would love to hear a more knowledgeable opinion.

im 2 sec away from panmure mate. Pm me

My 2000 BH5 rev B EJ208 Heads are stamped 003 (LH B 003 & RH B 003).

I\'ve found a replacement Left Head on Trademe, missing Cams. From a 99 B4, the Head is Stamped LH B 004. Will they still be a perfect fit or is this a Shim/Lifter change Code??? Maybe causing headaches. :-\

Edit: Guessing it should be fine as they are both 8.5:1, Phase 2, V5/6 Engines?

My Original 2000 BH5 Head:

The 99 BE4 Replacement:

Only difference I can spot is the outer casting change visible between the Numbers, maybe just a lighter cast design?

Edit: Going off Wiki, the only change is at Rev D P3 v7, different Cams/Cam Pulleys/Timing Marks/Pink 550cc\'s/Different Intake Manifold.

I\'ve paid for it, should be here mid next week. Only changes I can find through the BH/BE Rev Heads is the Cam change at Rev d. When they switch from Phase 2 (8.5:1), up to Phase 3 (9:1).

So 99% sure the code change (004-003) is just a lighter Mould as the Revs progress.

Can someone check for me if their low fuel light turns on when ignition is turned to the on position?

I know mine has worked previously.

But ever since I had fuel pump changed I havnt seen it.

Seriously low on gas and I still havnt seen the light

98 gf8 sti. Standard pump to a DW in tank replacement.

Just some help, Going to sell the Misses 2001 20n but it needs a new O2/AFR sensor (the one plugged into the extractors)

Do I buy 2nd hand or new? and if new, is it a case of just biting the bullet with the expensive Subaru one? or is there a cheaper universal one that will work just as well, heard stories about some universals working and other not.

Thanks in advance

[lachlan]

if ur selling it just buy a universal one . they work for ten thou etc

[slystiguy]

you can buy them on ebay for about 1/3 of the price

Any particular universal one I show look out for or are they pretty much the same?

also got an idea of price? was quoted $240 for an OEM one earlier today.

[slystiguy]

This is probably a dumb question but do you need a front bumper to get a wof? There\'s no lights on anything on it just a fibreglass mould that need brackets

[Roo]

Yep

[Guest]

Bumper is required. Also a sticker offence.

When replacing a possibly faulty AFM on a V7 STi, do I need to reset the ECU? Do I just disconnect the battery to do this?

[Roo]

No will be fine
