Normal set up for 2 cans then meant to be the best bet from what Ive read.

I thought stock was 16psi freeflow exhaust tho? Keen to know how it goes on dyno but should be safe. Local member wound his V6 sti up to 18psi iirc on a dyno safe as a church mouse on factory ecu. The extra boost up top wake it up a bit?

Yes 16 stock but guess the exhaust screws it up. It was rich as bother last time I had it checked so not really worried. It feels a lot

stronger, but the proof is in the pudding.

I can tell you are really worried

I\'m very eager to see my old STi in action and see how well that goes.

Put some new rims on. Also got a speeding ticket for 105 in a 100. Speedo was saying 100

Went in last week expecting BEB, came back with only this, everythign went better than expected...

Not bad for 150km service.

looks like your rim/tire combination is wrong, you need a lower profile tire ( and i would say a lot lower)

Moved out of my flat back home to Clarks Beach with the olds for a little while. I now have a garage!

Spent a good 3 hours detailing/cleaning the car. Engine bay, interior etc.

Polished up the dash/door cards/centre console, re-mounted my boost gauge, CRC\'d my cup holder which was previously extremely tempremental at the best of times (now pops out like a charm), full vacuum, installed some blue LED\'s under my seats for a bit of interior feng shui (actually look really good), adjusted my turbo timer a bit which is now on the rails of the ash tray compartment (so flush), cleaned all windows with windex + paper towels inside & out. Was going to cut & polish but thought 1am wasn\'t the ideal time to do so with my alarm going off at 6am.

Nothing better than a clean car.

i vacuumed the shit out of mine last weekend. Gave the interior a bit of a polish aswell. Went away on Tuesday with the boys for a few days.

Car is filthy now. Covered in mud splatters and dust. Interior is full of sand/stones and a whole lot of other shit. And only half way through our little holiday.

Cleaning it should be fun :-[

Cars running well though! Been right round the coromandel so far. Hasn\'t given me any trouble.

Yeah man I\'m picking up a couple of the boys straight after work today and shooting down to Whangamata for the weekend.

I will more than likely be in the same boat as you when we come home

I can say the same actually. After a few unforeseen problems over the past couple of months (exhaust leak, alternator killing itself b](twice),[/b] etc), everything is finally all sorted & replaced with brand new, better parts along with a full service & plenty of love.

I\'m hoping after replacing the starter motor, water pump, fuel pump & alternator over the past 6 months I won\'t have too many issues in the near future. Fingers crossed anyway. I really can\'t afford to pump any more $$$ into it right now but I\'m confident that it\'ll be as good to me as I\'ve been to it recently.

still in the middle of painting the sills black, and fitting my new custom made breather tank. Still yet to get the bill, really not looking forward to that bit, it ain\'t going to be cheap.

[94 Leone]

I finally put the engine back in, yay she lives. Issues to iron include clutch disengaging, and power steering fluid topping up, then I can put her back on the road

Jebus... Nice.

Driving along down the main street casually then heard a pop like a paper balloon then steam.. uh oh... >.<

Also appears to be rusty inside, why would this be?

Holy shitballs! seen lots of splits before but nothing like that! Silicone too.

Just out of interest what Rad cap is on it?

[ryn]

No brand I can see - Just "Made in England 0.9" and having said that the cap doesn\'t look in good shape either. Have only had a car a couple of months too...

Car is a 01 V7 STI with aftermarket big alloy radiator and those M&H Hoses top and bottom.

[pl0x]

blocked coolant overflow pipe for a start

[funkytown]

like WOW.. M&H ftl. never seen that in my life before.

was there something sharp dug into it anywhere?

[ryn]

Nope funky, just the clip that was on it and that hadn\'t cut into the hose anywhere I could see.

It\'s a bit baffling really.

[DRFVDR]

cap is toast, replace as soon as you can,

.9 is ok as long as cap works

maybe head gasket causing excess pressure
