Hey Birds,

Reckon the elec scooter will cope 90kg (haven’t weighed myself after epic sick I had few months ago) while going uphill aka Wellington Rd or FTG Rd?

Yeah apparently the STI engine refresh isn't due till 2020 to go the FA platform. 
The problem with the normal WRX was the sound of the FA engine [emoji14] 
The STI ol' EJ sounds beast still for a 4 banger, my first 4 banger :O 


Unequal length headers will do that.

Pretty much yeah, I'll be doing the usual intake/exhaust/tune eventually but that'll be it for me. I think 200awkw-ish?

Aka I better not come up against a silver R33 skyline at the lights, I'll be farked!! :P

Bolt ons are great for a daily. Wish I could bolt-on the hilux. Get some 6 stud rays wheels.

 

So new WRX and STI are different things? I'm pretty out of touch with new cars...

 

In other news, mate of mine at Tokyo Auto Salon... Some cool stuff there.

Yeah so WRX has the new FA20 (GT86) engine with a turbo on it (sounds like crap, but good econemy)

WRX STI still has EJ257 2.5l boxer same as the last few years (sounds good, proven, heaps of parts)

Then you got all the other usual stuff that makes the STI cooler and 10k more I guess too.

Bigger wheels and tyres, and yeah 6 pot front brembos 2 pot rear brembos bigger rotors too even from last years STI.

And yeah the whole driver controlled center diff stuff will be fun to play with 

Do you guys suggest doing any new car paint protection stuff? inb4 final inspection 
ceramic coat? subaru quoted 1500 for this.. 

Dezz you do anything special paint protection wise to your ute when you got it?

Dunno

It'll manage fine on flat ground with 100kg, as our overweight sales reps can attest to

One way to find out I guess.

Cos I’m being transferred to another store with trains in front of the store, and I’m not keen on driving to nearest train station and park it.

And I’ve got 4 weeks to decide.

Keeping a stock look doing rims too?

blue, it's my first actual coloured car. no plans for any cosmetics or suspension, after 6-12 months will do intake/exhaust/tune to wake it up a bit and for some sound that'll be it :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
