funny incident..

Was cruising with my mate last night in his TT Soarer. Pull up to a set of lights on leach highway, and a 'glowing' wrx pulls up next to us. He had neon light instrument cluster (which was literally glowing outside the car!), what looked to be neon light surrounding the exhaust!!? wtf?? plus glowing windscreen wipers and various stickers in and around his car. :)

anyway, he looked over at us and gave us the thumbs up, so i looked back over at him and gave him the thumbs down :D . He then wound his window down and said 'what was that for?!' i said 'why all the glowing lights, christmas isnt until a couple of months?'. he got a really confused look on his face and by this time the lights had gone green, so he went to nail it, and stalled it!! :) so my mate just floored the soarer and left his ricey ass for dead!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

two of my friends own wrx's with neons everywhere :D  

and if you check under the bonnet's they defenatly have the go`

the driver looked australian. caucasian with blonde (dyed?) hair. car was blue. looked like a MY98 or 97? well because he stalled it he didnt get to show us if it had any go.

puckish, yes i am a witness to TT soarer beating wrxs, my mate has raced 2 of them while i was in the car, and has beaten both, the closest was one which had aftermarket air intake mods (exhaust, pod etc..)

doesn't sound like my friends haha

they are both white wrx's ... :D

both car's perform nearly the same as stock.

so they should be a good fight, i've seen some gtst's blown away at the lights by soarer's.

it all depends on the driver i think, especially if its manual vs auto ...

manual has to take off properly or else he has no chance [i lost to my friends soarer once in my previous car, gts-t, coz i got too much wheel spin]

yeah he has yet to have a gtst give him a go? but i think he has only raced a couple. I never under estimate soarers the 1jz has some lethal potential if it has a manual box and traction control attached to it!!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
