My Engine rebuild

[Tyler]

Also forgot to mention I have fitted another set of RCM headers. But with a newer up pipe that I had on my old set which has a crack in the collector, so will be selling the up pipe if anyone Is interested.

[Tyler]

Right well have not had a chance to update as been extremly busy with my first child and also extremly busy at work. Scoob was on axle stands for for good month or so.

So I have managed to fit th RCM headers and re coiled 2 of the bolt slots, also fitted another power steering pump as mine was making an awful racket,whilst out I had to re coil 2 out of the 3 securing point for the pump so only 1 bolt and the alternator guide were the only 2 holding in place.









Went to take the car for a Mot to get it Road legal and the car was over fueling like crazy, got to my mate's garage went to Mot the car then my mate said to me mot dint run out until end of Jan (what a lemon) limped the car home and messaged messaged good friend and advised it sounded like a air leak. And sure enough it was.. Me again being a lemon we will leave it at that.

Then i fitted the defi gauges, defi controller, 2005 sti steering wheel and 2005 sti hand brake leaver. Only issue I have is that the oil pressure gauge is not picking up a reading don't know if it is sender or the defi controller.



Also have fitted an engine bolt dress up kit, well some of them any way, have not taken a picture as I am ashamed of how filthy my engine bay is.


Any way took the scoob to work a couple days and on Saturday got the misses to meet me at work for lunch as only days I have been having off is Sundays. Took a couple pictures because I am sad like that..





His ad hers









Next on the list when I get a chance is doing the roof lining black, spraying all the flocked bits ( need opinions on what colour) then off do either Duncan or Zen performance for a tweak as no longer have a exhaust leak

[scotty]

Mmmmmmm charcoal grey would be nice on the flocked dash and mmmmmm up pipe 3bolt

[Tyler]

Another thing I forgot to mention is I have also purchased a miltek 3" back box. I know it's not really many people's choice of exhaust but I have had my fair share of silly loud exhausts and even my jasma 3" is too loud for me.





can not wait to fit it. Don't get me wrong I may still buy a nur spec r and just have that in the garage for the odd day I am not bothered about getting a head ache. But majority of the time it will be the miltek for me.

Right well have not updated in a while as been busy. But I am in the middle of a bit of custom work, home brewed ofcourse, which I am sure is not going to be to a lots fancy. And as far as I am aware has not yet been attempted in the UK. Not sure if I will post pictures up yet as still early stages. But fingers crossed..

Lot of fabrication work but should look good

Unfortunately it has been done before (sorry!) but I'm not aware of one in the UK.... one below looks foreign.

[Tyler]

Yeah I know it's been done in the USA. Just not in the uk bud. I have a picture of a white classic from the US from back in 2011 before the abw arch craze that inspired me. But never had the balls to do it as a lot of people said it looks silly

[Ginola]

I like it!!, I think the one above that Steve linked is Dutch I think cant remember O

[seventune]

There is a blue sti6 one I've seen with blob bumper and big arches looked awesome.

[seventune]

Ha ha I Missed the link above. That was the one I ment

[Tyler]

Right spent the whole day on the bumper today, Jeeze there is a lot that needs to be done.. any way here's a few pictures. It's getting here there is so much reshaping that needed to be done so heating up all parts of the bumper all along the top and sides.

[BIG"E"]

Looking good..

It needs a front splitter though.

[Mortster]

Did you see how much the guy on FB wanted for his white one!

[C. J.]

[Mortster]

Scotty, can you tag CJ in the post, I've looked but cant find it, you commented on it, so will show up.

Cheers bud, me too.. But at the same time I am scared


So guys I have a question, do I go for the morrettes or the crystals.. Or do I just swap and change each time I go out

[Hongkongfooi]

front spoiler not my cup of tea i'm afraid.

[Tyler]

Yeah pretty much everyone hates this mod... I get a lot of criticism for it and knew I would.. I like challenges and the only thing I have not dabbled in is body work so thought I would give it a go. I still have orginal pre face lift bumper and facelift front bumper with P1 splitter. (Which I should not have on as it's not a P1 I know ) in the loft that I can change about any time I wish..

[C. J.]

Think Tim wants it for his p1 really

[Tyler]

Funny thing is I have 2 P1 splitters. 1 is orginal and 1 is fake

Time for a little update, have spent a hell of a lot recently. Simtek has been sent off for firmware upgrade as well as have ordered the cable and software for the ecu.

Parts I have recently brought are
hrc fuel pump
Millers 10w 50 oil
7b ngk spark plugs
Oil filter
GM 3 bar map sensor
Rota wheels
ANNNNND a sc46 billet turbo.

so far I have managed to change the oil, replace filter and plugs and fitted turbo.. few pictures










have had to remove my long studs to fit shorter studs as don't need wheel spacer any more at the front.
Have also ordered a compression tester so I can do a health check.
