Think the engine set me back about £5000 in all, still got it sat on a Pallet still undecided what to do with it. 400 is plenty and is on the max for the top mount all that's keeping my hatch back but I don't want to go that route again as I don't like the look of front mounts and it ruins the...

I dont chase big power really but I like to have them so there usable for track and can be abit of fun. My blobeye was running 380hp on the 2.0l engine, but then decided to buy a 2.5 lump that had piston failure and I forged it Got that running 550hp with a Garret GT35 but that was ridiculous...

The colour makes such a difference, IMO they don't look as good as previous models in the WR Blue, it's got to be grey or white for me! I was also eyeing up a Type R JDM but it was just way to raw to be used as s daily, where as I've got the Clio to be my bit on the side so didn't really want...

Cheers

Thanks :)

Very reliable never let me down, only problem I had was the thermostats but that cost me £100 and a few hours on the drive

Thanks Scott, reading through your Bugeye gave me the idea to do an update! Can't beat a JDM next year I think for me, I'll get the Hawk either litchdield T20 or just a normal Spec C

Cheers mate, I was looking at the Spec C Hawkeye but i went to view this on the off chance and I was sold

Just thought I'd give an update as its been awhile, I sold my last Impreza 21Months ago to try a different type of car but I ended up getting bored again so have gone back to the Impreza but a different kind this time My previous Impreza Sti (I'll update this when I can find the whole engine...

Quite a bit of a long shot, But I'm wondering if anybody local to Bedfordshire that a set of 54mm shocks with springs would be willing to let me borrow them for a few hours or buy they if cheap As I'm having issues with the front of my car over bumps and I think it's my coilovers have had it...

I did mine last night, been on my todo list for some time, put 4mm spacers inbetween the column and the frame and just used slightly longer M8 bolts

been having a few issues with my car for the last few days since I refitted my engine, on my trackday Monday I was having the battery and stop light come on, which means the alternater isn't charging the battery which I confirmed with my multi meter, once bump started the car would run okay...

Had this irritating noise on my 172 cup for quite awhile now and its starting to annoy me It sounds like tappet noise, just changed engines due to a piston ring failure and it does it on the new engine so I can rule out it being an engine fault Its a track car so has already had the carbon...

traitor :tonguewink:

How will they effect compression at all? Dan

Didnt do that no, just imaged the pump being disconnected would be fine?

Exactly the same Plugs out, WOT, Cold engine, Fuel pump disconnected just with a tad drop of oil in the cylinder for the 2nd test

Well I don't have a fecking clue Just done the tests now Dry 4 - 192 3 - 189 2 - 189 1 - 200 Wet 4 - 240 3 - 210 2 - 190 1 - 210 What would you say to that

Okay maybe that's bit of an exaggeration there just been informed it's more like half 1 bottle after 6k and full track days It's never ever ever smoked at all, I put a go pro on the bumper last night and went for a proper rag and there no snake from the exhaust

Tests were all done from cold, fuel pump disconnected, plugs left in and removed 1 at a time (I'll try them all out tonight), WOT and till the needle stopped moving 6-7 cranks maybe

Doesn't use any more oil than I imagine normal 1l roughly every 4k miles and a few track days Inbetween? I don't know what's normal, I've had the car 2 years and it's always felt the same way power wise so perhaps it's never been 100% in my ownership

Obviously test 4 being the closest to the 200 it should be

Hi all, posted up a week ago regarding power difference between 2 identical cars performed a compression test and the figures are not great to say the least all over the place 1st test I got from cylinder 4 - 1 120 - 100 - 130 - 189 2nd test 140 - 145 - 153 - 190 3rd test 110 - 145 - 143...

its really weird like above vid it was running spot on that was a few days ago, still not quite as good as his but nowhere near as bad as the 1st video!

Im going to perfrom a compression test, I did it when I got the car and it was spot on Similar exhaust, and yes same cams

His

Mine

I will change the belt and de-phaser at some point, got the lot sat in the garage

His has just had timing belt done, mine not so sure, I have a feeling it's been done, probably badly as there is a pen mark on the de phaser, pointless as its a floating pulley
