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

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
