Exhaust sits much nicer now. Wondering where you purchased your Magnaflow muffler from and how long it took to arrive.

The inside of my rear muffler is broken and looking to replace with a decent quality one once my car is back on the road.

Been playing with it an hour here and there every time I get a chance and have got a little done but haven't been able to finish it due to parts suppliers being closed

Started looking like this

After a bit of measuring and cutting I was able to fit the crank sensor, not the cleanest cut but with the limited room it was the best I could do

Also as a side note I had a 500hp ati blanacer sitting around and it will not fit with this kit and either will the factory balancer. So am going to buy the big ati balancer when then suppliers open back up and try that

  • Like 1

It's not the wheel, it's the bracket that holds the sensor sits proud and the edge of the balancer lines up with it and won't allow the balancer to go all the way home

The bit circled in red is where is hits

Finally got a chance to work on it today and got the crank trigger all wired up and working through the ecu

Here's what it now looks like

Next will be to fit this little puppy

Been a bit slack with the updates but time hasn't really been on my side either,

I got all the interior back in and everything looks as per factory apart from 2 little bumps under the carpet against the sill

Got the ecu to recognize the flex sensor and wideband sensor but haven't enabled them as I will leave that for jez when the car is dropped off to him.

Fitted and wired the 3 bar map sensor but once again I will let jez enable that and hook up the hose, just cause the on board one needs to be disabled at the same time.

Also went to the local United and grabbed 80L of car God juice

Am proud of the sti as it fits 4 jerry cans with space to spare

I just gave it a very over due wash and tomorrow morning it's booked in for a wheel alignment to fix up the castor after installing the rods, then straight up to jez for touch up and then enable the flex fuel to see what these little turbos can do

Tuning has started and one of the first things jez noticed is how smooth the rpm signal is with the crank trigger set up

The blue line is the rpm signal and there is no wave in it what so ever

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
