Basically (& do not endorse this @ all) I used to use WD40/CRC through the TB as an upper cylinder/valve cleaner. Before I knew about the Sooby service type they use. I also changed the airfilter as it was a bit blocked up. Thought I'd experiment since the thing kept playing hard to start after shor...

Just a recap guyz on the prob. Seems problem is fixed & I now have better economy (will be certain when I fill up & check litres) I put a homebrew upper cylinder cleaner & injector cleaner in fuel Will be definite when I know the klms traveled once I fill up again. Will post back then with more deta...

Haven't a clue where the best place to ask this would be so, any members using 98RON had a problem starting their car after parking for short periods? I would tend to believe the cause was flooding if it weren't fuel injected. I wonder if this is caused by 'vapour lock'? If so, what is a remedy? :( ...

Hey MadRX, how's the beast going? Still loving the power and thrill of the mighty Subaru? :twisted: Hehe, yeah she's a treat to drive Tigger. What I luv most is it still drives ok off-boost. My wife has been driving it as I've been using her wagon for stuff over last few weeks. It gets unreal h'way...

Still awaiting return email from US concerning the custom pillar pod so, if whether is fine tomorrow, or next few days may look @ a temporary fitment of the WB o2 sensor & gauge. Really want to know the AFR's @ 15psi? Then 17. This way, I may leave it back @ 17? At least I'll know this aspect of the...

Bugger the NB o2 gauge. Got an Innovate digital WB AFR gauge & sensor from NZ for a good price, to go with my boost & oil pressure gauge I picked up last week. Does anyone know where to get a pod or best place to mount 3 after market guages? Have seen them mounted on a Gen2 Liberty pillar. Might be ...

And how's the higher boost move working for you, your seat of pants dyno and your economy? Hoping it's worth it! Cheers Bennie Not bothering with dyno @ this stage Bennie. Though the engine drives like a less mileage engine, it's done a few clicks. I'm happy with it. Engine temp rises bloody quick ...

Bugger the 12psi haha. Working all day tomorrow but come Monday, will be turning it up to 14psi then leaving it there......No serious...

was also very wrong ablout the economy. I managed 450klm from just over 48L. Not bad really afterall with easy driving. Can put it behind me know.

so was this a twin turbo converted to single ?

Yeah. Forfeited economy for the better performance though.

Stock boost appears to be 12psi as I wound the boost controller back to minimum & this is the highest reading I get. At least I know I won't be abusing engine & box @ this boost. Performance is still good so, will leave it as this for now.

Dunno about the plate. If your clutch was not allowed to fully engage you would have slip all the time, especially on boost. The gearbox itself could have a worn synchro on 4th. If you learn/listen to your car more you'll learn where to change gear to help with rev matching. Also try doubling the c...

It's official lol.....I'm over this notchy #$%@ gearbox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I grind 4th one more %^$# time haha...........is it true there is some sort to plate between clutch & flywheel that stops the clutch from fully engaging? Was told this from one guy that's all. Told me you can remove ...

Sorry, I must've answered the other thread. Due to both cars I posted about, stuffed it up lol. It's a VF35 trubo so, slightly smaller A/R rear than the 34. Took it for a spin just now on some hard dirt roads & it pulls pretty well. full boost (17psi limit from tune) in 4th @ 3400. Bit less in the l...

I never got to drive the 98 Tigger, just sat in pass seat for the first viewing with seller. I think what also sold me was the 50k mileage since sweller owned it & mucking round with the roadie. gave me time to reflect. Wasn't too keen on respraying the front guards & fact car hed been neglected (si...

Thanks guyz. She does have some getupgo. I forgive it for the laggy low end as I don't mind driving around off boost for economy as that changes pretty quick from testing her out the other night. Bit of a Jeckyl & hide lol. So a cruise in the making then :cool: Will take some e/bay pics today. Will ...

Hi, Picked up this lil number Monday. These are just pics from the advertisement. It's in truly immaculate cond other than a chip on right rear quarter & a tiny dent barely noticeable on the left. Drives like a dream (once I familiarised myself with the gear change & single turbo characteristics etc...

Hi & thanks for the welcome! Here are some pics of the MY98 with the STi transplant I was considering earlier: http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx201/NaughtylilGT/cp4710959156989484151.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx201/NaughtylilGT/cp5604126269302067533.jpg http://i756.photobucket.com/a...

Hi, excited to pick up this lil' number tomorrow morning ;-) After much deliberation, I have chosen this lil' beasty over below 2 others. Has had a few very tasteful mods. I have to see after driving whether the turbo is too laggy? (twins have been swapped out for a big single) It does have a piggy ...

It was an RX with an STi transplant but, have chosen a newer one now after heaps of deciding haha. Will start the new thread as suggested

Picking her up tomorrow morning. Much better car I feel.

Thanks for the welcome guyz. Awesome to be here. Have to be patient with the roadie for now. Annoying not knowing but, thems the breaks.
