I want this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-Classic-/331193352999?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4d1ca98327

 

[Mr R.]

Me to.

 

[trails]

At lower rpms it does, but 4,500 and above its hesitant. Had plugs and MAF changed not so long ago.

check the inlet side for oil...iirc you don't have a catch can; oil in inlet caused me some issues when i first started modding mine

 

[imprezaworks]

Ooohhh nice

Very nice, local to me too.

Injector number 4 and lambda showing up on the computer, although the lambda could be due to the injector too, couldn't it? At least I know what it is, getting sorted as I type this. Any recommendations for front pads? Car won't be going on track

 

[imprezaworks]

Believe it or not but I have standard pagid cheapo pads from euro car parts with Godspeed discs and they are pretty good. Good news on the injector front

 

[Ray Gin]

What do you think of this setup

http://www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk/~godspeed/product.php?id_product=160

Godspeed recommended them on the forum so can't be bad surely.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I looked at those. Godspeed are well renowned so too Alyn at asperformance, might be worth ringing him? The Kevlar pads from what I've read etc are pretty w**k. But some would say putting cheapo pagid pads on mine would be suicidle. I put them on a while back and haven't died yet.

 

[imprezaworks]

Have you got four pot calipers?

 

[Ray Gin]

I do indeed, I think I'll order that setup. Hopefully they'll suit me

 

[imprezaworks]

Was going to say the discs are for four pots. Might be worth dropping 'asperformance' a ring see what he has?

 

[Ray Gin]

I had a nosey at the website. Think brembo and Ferrodo seem to be the most popular choice on there, had Ferrodos in the past and found them too squeaky for me. I'll see what these kevlar pads are like, if I don't like them I'll upgrade. Again lol.

Have had the above on 2 different UK imprezas and had no problems.

Also check the group buy section on SN, I'm sure they were on a sale recently.

 

[Ray Gin]

That's good to hear.

Oh bugger, just bought them, lol. For £119 I think that's pretty cheap already!

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm sure they will be spot on. Cheap enough and Godpseed have got a great reputation.

Just an epic car that

Thinking of going to have a look at this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Im...8627684?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f35631d64

Just wanted to know what you guys think, brakes and the other mods are worth more than the asking price I would have thought.

Also is there anything in to look out for on these.

Looks well specced but im not sure running 324bhp on a standard bottom end could be classed as safe. No mention of ecu if it aftermarket or Ecuteked.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lot of money. If it's an rb5 you want fair enough. Me personally would get a nice import Sti at around £3500

 

[Ray Gin]

Had a erm… "discussion" with a guy earlier about injectors. Seeing as my no.4 is playing up I've been on the lookout for a set (car hasn't been driven since the fault was diagnosed). I got offered a set from a newage WRX for £100, I thought that was a bit steep for second hand injectors, and surely they wouldn't be the same. He was adamant they will work fine on my classic. After a search on scoobynet, the ONLY ones that will work on mine without any hassle is the standard, yellow, phase 2, 440 injectors, correct?!

I'm 99% sure I'm right but the guy was very persistent in saying that the newage ones would work so thought I'd double check, lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

Not sure tbh mate. I'd just get like for like

 

[trails]

think the newage are topfeed...certainly are on the stis...yours are side feed.

 

[imprezaworks]

Thinking of putting a cold air feed from my drivers fog light upto the hks induction kit (I'm mafless btw). Easy enough to do and what pipe work would I need. It's a 96 version 3. Cheers chaps

Sunny day by cobzy1, on Flickr

 

[Ray Gin]

Should be collecting the car this evening or if not, tomorrow. I've been told it pulls 100% now and the new brakes are good. Upon inspection, it seems on the driver side only 1 piston was moving and only 2 moving on the passenger side lol……...which I was quite surprised about. All sorted now, thankfully.

 

[imprezaworks]

That's good mate

 

[Ray Gin]

Flew through MOT today, no advisories.

 

[Ray Gin]

Car is back to running like sh1t again. Fuming.

 

[imprezaworks]

Back to the garage time .

 

[Ray Gin]

It's had new plugs, injectors and MAF.

Only thing I can think of is the MAF - it's second hand but in good working order apparently. Might just buy another new, just to be sure.

 

[imprezaworks]

Worth a shot mate

 

[Ray Gin]

Tried researching MAFs on SN and got a sore head. Green labels, purple labels, orange labels and no labels at all, WTF.

 

[yeecup]

Buy a new maf, they are fragile on these and buying second hand is asking for trouble

 

[Ray Gin]

Yeah I think I'll be getting one very soon, putting a new coilpack in today as mechanic thinks its spark related. No lights on dash etc and it seems to fluctuate on and off boost above 3,000rpm

 

[Ray Gin]

Ordered a new one. Is it necessary to reset the ECU after fitting? Baring in mind no lights are coming up.
