Chops

Can do bu no worries. Ill drop u a pm on it in a bit

Ive got a load of 3" piping for various different turbo setups, what turbo/route do you need bud?

More work done, no more dead engine or lsd box, and the grot is fukin real in this bay . its gonna take a lot to degrease all this, but i dont mind as actually it protects the metal underneath anyway lol

Ive no intention of selling bud, but if i do in the end you're first on the list ;)

nah wasnt me, ive never had a 4paw sadly tbough id love one! I did have a gt advance but a van pulled out into the side of it at 30mph and wrecked it. Still got a lot of it to fit to this one, so it lives on kinda. The mad old bottlecap/ronal turbo looking things need a refurb, so theyre getting swapped for these cades eros i got silly cheap from a scrappy and stripped em down to bare metal, dunno whether to go for a rota style dark bronze or gunmetal atm, need to take a vote or something.

Been working on it a little bit more, swapped the mk3 boot i swapped away to its previous owner, for the mk2 boot i sold its previous owner then swapped back for the mk3 lol. Really silly situation when i think about it, as ive ended up owning of it anyway. all in order to fit this

Ima bump this, as its already two days old lol

it went to the dude i bought this from, i traded it for those alloys essentially. Not as big a fan of the white ones, i think darker colours suit a gt more.

Its very nearly the same plate as cheznutters old gt, i was digging around and thought it was his old car from a couple of years back, but one letter is different!

with the parts i have ready i dont think ittle take as long as you might think at first glance. Im stealing this things viscous lsd gearbox ad shaft and engine mounts to finish the green one to a good all original spec, selling that as the minter ittle be by he time im done with it and building a serious engine to demolish things with in this :L

just the right level of ghetto imo, i can bring it back with bits ive been hoarding up ready, a certian sc12 looms in the darkness ;)

im having a shit old time here, i have to do all the typing on a borrowed laptop while mines being repaired yet again, and all the pic uploading from my phone cause the borrowed laptop hates it and wont take the image files lol. i fukin know right, i traded a whole shell to get em. gonna referb em soon!

Well, i decided i needed a new project car, something fresh and new to me, and low and behold, i now find myself with my 4th starlet lol. bought this in px for my beloved scooby, drove miles to go and get it, i give you, a showroom condition 95 gt turbo in the venerable 205 black: Nope, that would be too easy, so what it actually is is a battered mess of a 95 gt turbo with a non running, presumed buggered engine. still, it does have some redeeming features, such as it being my first sunroof model, and having an assortment of goodies, some needed, some less needed, and some decidedly questionable. All sorts of interesting shit on it, ironic really, traded a scooby for a mystery machine! what alloys are they, whats wrong with the engine, wheres half the interior gone, why does the screamer feed into the bonnet scoob and why has someone really carefully welded a screamer pipe directly onto the side of this tial external wastegate lol. First things first obv, pulled all the 'carbon' wrap off the bonnet, to discover more stickers underneath and pretty resonable paintwork for now, and i threw my mk1 bumper on. looks snazzy already!

SOLD god im gonna miss it.

Id px my scooby for that shell dude, if thatd interest ya?

Just to add, this is a pre aug 95 import, so doesnt need to meet any emissions level lol, though it does comfortably with the n/a backbox on, and is registered to the dvla as a 2.0 gl, though i always insured it as a wrx of course. Its funny, if id put up a forged starlet for 2k peeps would have been tripping over themselves over it lol. I know this is a starlet forum, but still!

Year:1995 Model: Subaru impreza wrx (import) Tax: 230 odd a year, old tax system MOT: may 2017 Mileage: 124269km on the clock, some in miles. a lot less on the engine! Description: war stories incoming! This is my nearly finished rolling project impreza, which due to lack of time and moolahs I'm having to sell. I bought this in about may 2014 as a project car, with battered panels, a badly modified interior, and a rough running engine that wouldn't run when hot. it spent some time in my mates garage and then some time in mine being worked on for a while, till my black gt was tboned by a van in early 2015 and I needed the garage clear to break it and recover my money. this meant I had to get it on the road before I was done working on it. the rough engine was overheated and sharted itself not long after, due to the previous owner putting rad weld in it which decided the thermostat was a leak and blocked it. the head lifted, pressurised the sump, and blew out the rear main bearing seal lol. this meant I had to build it a whole new engine lol, so for the last year or so its been rocking a 93 sti type RA closed deck shortblock ( the best ej20 for making big power in manys eyes) which I bought used in great shape fitted with wiesco forged pistons and presumably forged rods too, though I have to admit I've never found time to remove the sump to check. its had : the heads skimmed, new valvestem oil seals, the valves lapped, new water pump, new timing belt and pulleys (powergrip iirc, ll have to check) cometic 1.5mm 5 layer headgasket, nissens headbolts (more than strong enough for big boost). nearly new coilpacks, new manifold studs, fresh spark plugs, an unknown brand equal length headers, well made but could do with looking at as are cracked somewhere, nothing mad but I did notice a sound from them when the silent exhaust was fitted. these sound mad at higher revs, there's no rumble sadly but there's a real shriek at the top, madness! I fitted load of other brand new oem spec gaskets such as the rear main bearing seal. (probably some things ive missed too!) I fitted a new exedy clutch and a trustworthy td05 16g which was in far better condition than the one I removed from the replacement engine. I replaced the rad with a second hand job but I found that's been leaking a little so ive just replaced that with a brad new nissens rad. I had to throw on a forge recuculating bov as the stock job is rare and tend to leak as are plastic, the bov is good but the hose could do with a tidy. its running on the stock boost controller at a fast but safe 12.5 odd psi on a z4 ecu, though I did throw on my gfb briefly and ran it up to the ecu limited 15 odd psi, at which point it seriously hauls ass lol. it has factory interior spotlight things, complete oem mats with impreza badging electric folding mirrors, electric areal which worked well until the very last day on the road, then stopped moving, naturally though it still works mind. Ive been setting about restoring its interior with original controls, original nardi wheel, and seriously rare factory lamco gauges, which display voltage, boost and intake air temp. these all work, though the air temp needs a new sensor. other small mods include big sti spec 4 pot front brakes, freshly rebuilt with godspeed stainless pistons (in need of painting), some tien lowering springs, not much drop but a slightly firmer ride, perfect for a daily imo, brand new shifter bushings, making gear selection spot on like new, and the mid level wing as the stock low level looked a bit rubbish (included if wanted mind). its exhaust is messy but functional, It was a 3'' ninja system but has had a silencer welded in at some point, I switch between the ninja cannon that sounds boss, and an n/a job when starting work early as is dead silent, never sees boost on the latter to protect my exhaust valves. the exterior is where it all falls down a little. I had to get it running well before it looked good, so ive largely ignored its exterior. it has a few battle scars, scuffs and dinks all over, and a big dent/ scrape at the front between the door and the front wing. its just cosmetic but both could do with replacing, black scoobys are rare indeed down here so ive not been able to find one breaking within a resonable distance and I wasn't going to pay for postage or a respray on different coloured panels. The back arches where these cars are known to rust, are solid. overall, there is very little rust but for a patch on the boot under the wing, and the dent I mentioned. Overall, I have very little paperwork for this car other than a multitude of receipts, and it is in need of some bodywork, but is a mechanically sound and very fast rough and ready classic scoob, a hell of a lot faster than a near stock starlet with serious potential to make some serious power with the right injectors and management! I've been trading on here a few years now and I'm sure people on here I've traded with will agree, I'm straight talking when it comes to cars and parts, I wont sell a lemon for a quick quid! I also have what claims to be a prodrive ecu and some other goodies such as an intercooler spray switch to make a kit for, a 5 injector intake manifold (doesn't do anything on the road car, but very cool anyway) and an sti intercooler modified to fit a 95 spec engine, that ill throw in if the price is right! Price: £2000 ono, I'll be putting this on ebay as a starting bid soon, this is just because I need a quick sale sadly! Pictures: these are some pictures I took in a hurry, ill be adding more as and when I can! Contact Details: pm me, or text on 07858004780

is it software or hardware that would allow it to run COP? ill be needing something that can in the near future hopefully!

This shit always happens to me with turbos, when i bought my tfo35 i sent it of to liamd immediately and he told me it would have fallen to bits and done my engine if id run it, cant trust anyone you dont know personally when it comes to turbos it seems.

Hey all, quick question, can anyone point me in the direction of standard spec engine mounts? Surely im being a tit but i cant find any about, even the local total motor factors cant get me any. Dont wanna use polybushes on my green project car!

Cheers bud, enjoy the mines!

Oh, is it something controlling the starter, or can i just put a manual starter on it to solve that problem? I compared the manual and auto starters and couldnt see any immediate differences. no not yet, ive been meaning to look at that, ill probably just pinch the ignition barrel gubbins from my white shell and throw the auto pushbutton job in that with the button jammed or removed, as i dont care about the asthetics of the white one lol its only for me!

Hey all, so ive decided to start a proper thread on this to hopefully get to the bottom of this! ive been busy converting my green gt over to manual and have so far been happily swapping all the mechanical bits over, but now its time to tackle electronics so its time to get some advice. The original plan was to simply slap the manual ecu from my old '95 into it, but ive found that the autos are 3 plug, so ive now got 3 options, as follows: I've read here and there that you can just leave the auto ecu in and bridge something somewhere to trick it into always thinking its in drive, but this can cause it to idle like shit, so id rather not go down that route as i want this car to be as close to flawless as possible. I can have a harness made up or even repin the standard loom to 2 plug setup, and just slap the manual ecu on there, though i dont know if all the wires are the same and are just in a diferent configuration, or if the auto ecu has filthy auto only wires, Finally, i was wondering if i could just throw a glanza 3 plug manual ecu on there, if the wires are all the same, though thatd be rediculously convenient so probably isnt the case lol. I could really do with advice on this, its an area where my knowlege on these starlets is still pretty lacking!
