Running at 1.2 bar on the ct9 won't make any more power than at 1 bar well maybe 2-3bhp but for the extra stress and heat that will be generated its not worth it. My car was mapped to 1bar and it was making only 3 bhp more at 15psi compared with 13psi. Just to let you know! As I've already said the car looks ace with the splitter added. ;)

Thanks for the advice but i have now resolved the issue. Mods you can delete this please. Jay don't comment, I can see you lurking in here.

My passenger side window doesn't work, neither of the switch's work. Fortunately the window is up at the moment though! I currently have the doorcard off looking for any obvious loose wires but can't see any, the motor doesn't make any noise when the switch is flicked either. Is there anything else I can check for, I don't have a voltmeter unfortunately so can't test to see if there is power to the motor. I know that one guy had a problem with his window at the scottish meet earlier this year, can't remember who it was though. Any common problems that it could be?

They were indeed. The '96/'97 were available in red too but are even rarer.

Yeah I was happy with it, would of cost another £150 if I'd got the tuner to fit it. The guy I got to do it had re-wired my girlfriend's mini before so I knew he was ok.

The dials certainly are nice. Dave Burwash did a gropu buy for them, if you got 20 people interested in them he could make up a set for the NA boys. @ Enzo I got an auto electrician to wire in the emanage, I didn't want to bodge it in myself, I drew up the wiring diagram for it an he just had to solder it all in nice an neatly, cost me 80 quid to do so.

They are awesome, the pictures really don't do them justice. I'm not normally a fan of these sort of things but I feckin love these! ;)

I fitted these super sexy indiglo dials tonight, I'm absolutely loving them! ;) Also the pictures don't show how blue they are when lit up, such an improvement over the grey stock dials.

No, £350 just for the remap then the vat on top, I already had the emanage all wired in.

Cheers mate, yeah it goes a bit now! I got it mapped up at japerformance in ellon, the guy there is really sound so I would definately recommend him. It was a bit pricey though at £350 then vat on top, but worth it for the grin on my face on the way home! Thanks again too idrees.

Update time! Firstly Last week: Since only one of these manifolds hadn't been fitted to my car in the last week I thought I'd better fit the odd one out : The stainless manifold had previously cracked and been rewelded but when a road runner mani became available I thought I'd buy it for peace of mind. It may not look quite as nice but I prefer function over form anyway (in most cases). The only other recent addition to the car are the ngk leads to make sure the ignition system is in top form. Today: Woo Hooo!;) The emanage has finally been mapped, the result.... Oh yeah!

My old kia pride would give an na starlet a run for its money. It was surprisingly quick, the quickest 1.3 non sport model of its year infact.;) 745kg mated to 69bhp woop woop!

The minimum I would recommend to run a decent hybrid turbo to its potential and safely includes the following: Uprated intercooler Increased fuelling (for a hybrid I would personally get at least an SAFC or emanage etc) Probably an uprated airfilter depending on whether the hybrid has a larger intake Obviously a decent exhaust system, decat and uprated manifold would also then increase the performance further. The most important thing is that you can't just bolt on a hybrid turbo and run it at the same boost as the stock one and expect everything to be fine, you'll melt a piston doing that

Awesome! I really want to go and see a round of the time attack, the cars are quality. Great photos too mate.

I doubt you'll be seing many WRX version's on the road because they're not being officially sold over here. We'll only be getting the more powerful and aggressive looking Sti next year.

Well as glanza_ragger says thats is an fcd variant so you don't need to worry about buying one now. Its actually a JAM FCC (Fuell cut controller) by the way However you should now ensure that your fuelling is ok to be running at 1 bar, if you don't have any additional fuelling mods then you should get at least a rising rate fuel pressure regulator (rrfpr) and then a run on a rolling road to check the fuelling.

Oh dear! If you don't even know what that box is then maybe you need to do a bit more research or get a professional to fit the FCD for you. However if you do wish to try yourself then its very simple to fit. The box with the lines going into it is a diagram of the ecu plug, the blocks are the pins into the ecu where the wires go in, which you need to splice the fcd wires into. The coloured lines relate to the colours of the wires on an HKS FCD. I would certainly not recommend you buying a cheap 12 quid one off ebay. If you buy one off a site trader then you know for sure that it will actu

Ditto, thats really nice. Good wheels. Reminds me of Rubix's old glanza.

Do some advanced driver training courses/ track day instructed tuition, then you will be able to drive it quicker than you thought possible.

Yeah wasn't expecting it to be that bad, but the car was sounding horrible when it was still fitted. Cheers!

Thats nice history of your car mate, I'm interested to see what the engine bay will be holding soon. Looking good mate, especially the bride mmmmm! Keep it up.

I would say thats right. I've been running mine on the stock ecu with the walbro for over a year without problems. It just makes a bit more noise than the stock one the way it is.

Cheers mate, I think I'm going to have to put the remap on hold until I get another mani. With the stock one back on there's a bit more boost creep and unstable boost wouldn't be good when the car's being mapped. One good thing though - I passed my mot! Woop woop! The guys at the place I took it were very sound. One bloke said he got his ass handed to him in his mr2 by a Starlet Turbo at crail a while back! He now has an ek9 now too. I watched them doing the mot and was allowed to change my brake light bulb there and then because it was out, the emissions were no problem either as they ju

Update *03/08/07* Well my stainless steel manifold which I only fitted 4 months ago had started leaking a couple of weeks ago and yesterday it completely gave up on me. The car started sounding like a proper tractor, so I took it off last night in the hope that I could get the small crack causing the leak welded..... But it couldn't be! So I now have the stock manifold back on and will be buying a new mild steel one when they are available, hopefully it will last a little longer! I also gave the car a service a few weeks ago changing the distributer cap, rotor arm and fitting new NGK Irr

On the head itself or not? Its quite common for the head to crack, mine had a crack when i bought it and enzo's old v did the same. Its not cheap to replace the head but its the only option if thats the problem, welding it won't fix it properly.
