What have you done to your car today?

[Koom]

Replaced my two piece up-pipe with one that was in one piece, made a twisted, twin-scroll up-pipe with conjoined external wastegate for my RS while the wagon's exhaust manifold was off as I could test for fitment, then pulled the spare up-pipe back out of the wagon as it was just as sh** as the first one, welded up one of the up-pipe's and fitted it back in. Pissed around for ages getting the downpipe to not foul on the gearbox crossmember and then finally took it in for a wof after also discovering that the intake pipe was shagged and no longer can seal onto the turbo I want a brand new car that doesn't have these sorts of issues!

Twisted twin scroll up pipe. I like the sound of that. I want!!

;D

It takes alot of pissing round to get them to fit and I couldn't get the wastegate pipes to be equal length (will keep them separated right up to the wastegate though) and hopefully it will be worth all the effort! I wouldn't want to be paying labour to get one made as I've lost a couple of saturdays to this so far! Might see if Tony at RDL wants to make a jig to build them a bit faster.

It's Worth it I've got my hx35 seeing 12psi (wastegate pressure) as I'm only running in atm by 2400 in 6th gear. Twin scroll sounds mean to.

Whoa, thats intense. I'm guessing the two pipes to the turbo are equal length?

Making a jig would be an aweslme idea.

That would be nice! My original setup with this HX35 was only making boost above 4500rpm But was a s**te setup anyway. Even if I can get ~12psi by 3500rpm I'd be stoked. Engine is no longer 2L either so not sure how much difference its going to make to my boost threshold?

Was quite fun making it. I always enjoy that type of fabrication! The two pipes are as close to equal as I could be bothered to get them in the space available. I haven't got much spare room anywhere in there!

I am running 2.5l and avcs so pro in help a little. Josh car with hx40 and 2.35 will be ready soon and that will be a good comparison. He running v3sti heads

changed oil in the truck.

massive fail on my part as the remainder of the 4L oil canister didnt seal correctly and leaked all over the boot.

Spent half the weekend trying to clean it up/off.

Visibly it looks fine now but still feels kinda greasy to the touch.

Hmmm. Lacking ideas to lift the remainder. Maybe a good shampoo and wash is required?

[gotasuby]

Brakleen

[ODB]

really?

Ok will have a look for it and see how we go.

The truck is just a beater really but meh dont want everything i put in there getting all slick

on that note can you send me the pics of my up-pipe

we can have a chch twinscroll up-pipe build thread soon .

if my boost is anything like jason's its going to be good! it acts like a td04!

[urabus4]

Removed filter from oil feed AVCS on my v7 today , trouble is i broke the clip that holds the electrical fitting onto the injector!!! Have it back on with a cable tie but need it replaced. Is it just a matter of getting another one and cutting and soldering the wires? If so does anyone have one that they dont need?

[rex-leggy]

got them . more twinscroll goodness

Rug doctor wil get some, but as mentioned new carpet will be the key

You could find your local upholsterer and they may have a small off cut that fits the bit where you need to replace...

[Stoffa]

+1 for brakekleen, I use it on the new carpet in the house when I walk "that greasy car sh!t" (as my mrs puts it) in from the garage. It completly evaporates so works well

[4foot]

i did the same but with new oil .... easyest way i found was a can of engine degreaser on the effected area left it for 5 to 10 min ... nek minute ... hose that puppy off ... may require 2nd degrease and hose depending ... then let that bad boy dry out then next day back in the car ... worked for me and it didnt make the carpet come off !!bonus !!!

[Swindog]

Had it in at Bay Subaru this morning.

ECU reset and timing retard.

Found AFM logged a code and out of spec and TPS out of spec.

Mmm. Stink.

[marc]

Washed the two scoobs to attend/drive for a wedding with real branded cars

[billzy]

Absolutely love your car Marc! The prodrive front is my favourite!

[Swindog]

Be careful of the rub marks those wedding bands put on your bonnet.

Haha thanks mate, Sux I couldnt get that front pic any bigger for some reason , thoes ones were only off an iphone tho prob half the reason lol.

Stressed me out abit cutting the genuine plastic bumper for FMIC but made 110% sure I didnt hack it and only took what I had to! Looks stealth anyway so not an eyesore on the nice looking front I reckon... the things we do in the name of more power :-\ lol
