Haven’t discovered the newer BBS 19” from the VA…?

Thought about it but don’t wanna go 19”; I think 18” is the perfect size and haven’t come across any VA BBS 18s recently. 

I’m though on the look for a reasonably priced Evo X BBS as they are 18” and have a great offset for the hatch (+38).

Stock is 55 on 8.5” wide, so 38 offset will stick out and have heavy scrub on steering.

from factory STI wheels sit slightly inside the guards; Evo wheels being the same 18x8.5 but +38 means they will sit more flush with the guards. It’s basically almost the same as running a 15mm spacers with factory wheels of which I know of a couple people doing that with no issues (I plan on running 15mm all around with factory wheels as well).

What happened to the cartridge bro? 

 

Just trying to narrow down the smoking issues. The original definitely hated full engine pressure and even with lower pressure wasn't super happy.

Got my Legacy back from the panel beaters yesterday. I had an unfortunate incident with a post in my driveway during a dark and rainy night. The gudgeon that was sticking out of it tore up my rear quarter panel and smashed up the corner of my rear light. Looks shiny now.

Not me but my car. The guys at SAS finished with all the work and car been tuned. Ill need to get exact details later on but it made around 360 KW on 95 octane fuel and around 460 KW on E. Turbo still got more in it (only running 28ish psi), however, run out of injectors.

 

Car is pretty quiet for something that has over 400kw so pretty stoked about that as well.

Turbo is EFR 8374 .92 IWG. FIC 1650 cc injectors. 

Weird, for some reason i’d always thought the 7670/8370 was the biggest you could go on internal. 

Is there no 98 nearby you?

No, pretty sure all EFR turbos can come with IWG (single or twin scroll). 

I live in Northland so no 98 for me 🙅‍♂️

Aww I was going to be cheeky and ask for a ride now it's been tuned. When did you move back up north?

 

I actually did some work on my WRX for the first time .. a while.

 

- new O2

- new handbrake shoes

- new coolant hoses

 

Going to start getting it ready for Flat Nats in Oct.

Gearbox oil change yesterday with my 4 year old while my 1 year old was napping. Took off the intercooler to make my life easier for the filling.

"Hmm that's a bit more oil than usual, better start saving for a new turbo"

Got the funnel in the Gearbox fill point. Pour the oil in at a glacial pace so it doesn't burp everywhere. All good ~3L changed just like last time (5MT). 

"I'll just check that PCV valve....Ah buggery" When I did my turbo inlet swap in February I must not have seated the line from the tee to the PCV valve in properly and it has been disconnected with the line venting to atmosphere and the turbo inlet. I haven't exactly stayed off boost but it explains the bit more smoke I was getting when sometimes getting on it. If I have melted a piston I haven't seen any evidence so I will call it a lucky break.

Finally got some steering wheel paddle shifters for my STi.

Is it auto.. no

is it fitted with manual sequential box… no

will they control boost levels and other things… yes 

 

Sadly realised all my special sockets aren’t here so had to order new trox for the airbag removal. So fitting it is delayed until they arrive.

 

will order the wider plastic steering column cover once they are fitted. It’s 10mm wider per side.

 

hopefully it’ll confuse the crap out of people looking at the car. Manual shifter with paddles too.

They are not wired through the clock spring like newer cars and have L R and common 3 pin plug so can be used on aftermarket ecu 5v or 12v as switches.

if you wanted in a stock ecu car you could just wire a resistor to each and to the SI drive inputs.


or maybe they will be water spray for intercooler.

fitted blacked out side/wing mirror LED indicators. 

 

managed to unclip the covers and fit without removing the glass.

 

need a little double sided tape or blutack to hold the 3mm wide foam weather seal that isn’t included, but pealed off from OEM ones.

 

the plug pins are about 1/4 the width of factory so need to be aligned carefully.

 

One sat perfectly, one was slightly out after clipping back, but that mirror has been bashed about before so maybe not the indicators fault.
 

fits the 2007-2010 Impreza STI.
use the part numbers listed and check against your chassis number in partsouq to see if they fit.

      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
