What have you done to your car today?

[Guest boostin]

It didn't drop, it just worked 1 second and not the next. I could hear the fluid leaking past the ram seal. Damn trade me specials...

[pedro]

had day off work yesterday so took wrx wagon in to tyreshop to fit 2nd hand set of michelin pilots to original 16 inch rims before i sell it.went home and spent a couple of hours cleaning and armouraling the interior.surprised how nice it has tidied up.sat in car trying to rationalise owning two subaru turbos but commonsense prevailed.

loaded golf clubs into the sti coupe and went and enjoyed a lovely afternoon at the golf course......priceless.

Pedro, how is the old Coupe treating you?

[pedro]

hi dave.the coupe has been going well.i still havnt got used to the two stroke like power delivery on high boost tho.it is sooo diff to the old wrx wagon that it still suprises me.the gearing is insane and will take a few more hours to get the hang of.

i have had to stop myself from buying funkys steve mutch vf 23,link 3 and purple injectors!!!!cause i figure that would make it a flier.but as they say..

THE FASTER THEY GO,THE QUICKER THEY BLOW.

hope you are ok.have you got a new gf yet?

when are you of on your voyage of discovery?

cheers mate,you sold me a gem..

Why did you change the oil after 300kms?

Was the car static for some time?

[Guest loren]

I change it based on number of events, not number of kms.

Replaced the hose to the wastegate that has the wee restrictor in it. Went from my homemade brass restrictor that only let it boost to 13-14psi to the factory restrictor so now it'll be able to make however much the V3 STI RA's are supposed to make

Wasn't after a walk through, just don't believe you did it in under 30 mins Maybe you

don't have to move loads of cr4ap out of the way to get to them though.

[Guest boostin]

Gen 1's are easy though. Plenty of room. ;D

I was gonna say how did it take you that long??
