Morning people - just looking ahead for my V7 STI - so 3rd gear tends to crunch if your not careful, what would be best to do here? - rebuild the syncro? or find another  second hand 6speed box?

 

On the other hand I'm used to driving it and can drive it without crunching it - its just the odd occasion that i forget when I'm fanging it haha

 

Unfortunately I purchased the car like this and didn't notice it when i test drove it

 

What sort of cost would I be looking at to rebuild it?

The question really is, if you can find the synchros for the v7 STi box. very hard to find them now, even for my Version 10 STi box.

tbh I think its a bit of a flaw in most? My old GTB had something similar, which as you note you find very early & literally drive around it & you pretty much got used to it

Yeah okay - its not likely to get any worse is it? unless i keep crunching it

drove my car for over 10 years & never got any worse, others might have a better technical explanation or insight and experiances

 

I have been proven to be wrong on many occasions so don't take my word as gospel

 

what KM's are on your car?

I have the same thing - v3 sti. You get used to driving it without crunching. I find it's only on the very quick shifts that I can feel it. If you give a split second longer between shifting from 2 to 3 then it's fine.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
