didn't believe mark murphy at first when he said I don't need a cat, never had a decat or stainless system on the car before so was kinda paranoid it wouldn't pass and with the rasp off of it

do you mean reg plates
the irl reg plates came very start of 1991 so has to be 1990 or before to have any style plate colour you want

 

[pergie]

few bits landed for the car the other day carbon dipped Alternator cover and Intake snorkel
also a set of pink hoses can't wait to get them all fitted now

 

[tractorman]

Liking the carbon dipping, where did you get it done?

i got them off a lad in the uk but there is a place in dublin that do it AquaPrint Belgard looks like he does some nice work going to get him to do a few bits for me in a few weeks

 

[dontommy]

my mate here in Clonmel does hydro dip too. Have to ask him if he has any photos of jobs done. Im planing myself to bring few bits
of the engine bay, defo doing the headlight inside in carbon dip. just to find time and money for fashion mods.

If the rain ever stops

Full service, changed oil, filter(put back the paper in), cleaned MAF sensor, changed spark plugs, replaced both belts(alternator and air conditioning), put cabin filter in, for some reason previous owner had that removed completely, no idea why.

Hopefully this will resolve the missfire issue I was getting. I have done some reading, and some internet sources said, that the missfire is caused by oil filters dropping partciles of the oil onto MAF sensor, and MAF then not calculating sh*t properly, so I cleaned it and put paper filter on. Will see if the issue is resolved and if is, I might have K&N filter for sale

 

[scoobycolm]

cabin filter removed as the old one was so dirty it wasnt letting air in
so if you dont have one its best to pull the old so your vents will clear the windscreen properly

i didnt think you cleaned mafs in subarus
and if your maf is giving trouble id get that looked at asap

 

[scoobysub]

When you say filter and put the paper 1 back in Air filter . Did you change the oil filter

I see, well, at the outrageous price of cabin filter, I am surprised nobody bothered to replace it, no wonder I had every 3 weeks my windows dirty from inside.

I dont think the MAF sensor was giving trouble, just that some parts could have been oily. Read about it on nasioc, so did as they suggested and cleaned it with some contact cleaner. will see how it performs now. If I get CEL again, I will start looking for trouble. So far it seems that it resolved the issue, as I didnt get any rough idle after starting warm...

Took the turbosmart kompact bov and boost gauge out of the legacy to get them posted off to new owners

I think you solved problem. As you put standard back.
Mine was acting same as I had some cone filter when I bought it. Put standard air box with paper filter and didn't get any CEL.
Far as I understand you car not mapped. Heard in some cases if you put free flow filter on not mapped car you might get CEL
A lot people was saying to me if you want modify Subaru you need remap nearly for everything related to engine like filter, decat pipe. You just can't put things on it and drive without mapping.

 

[scoobycolm]

maybe the older jecs ecu are different to the denso one found in the newage
but know quiet a few lads who fitted
dumpvalves
cone filters
panel filters
decats
new age top mounts
front mounts
exhausts
and never any issues
just not getting the full potential without the remap
i think the jdm cars are different but maybe that is due to them not being mapped for irish fuel in the first place
not quiet sure on that

 

[Federal]

Maybe can't be sure too
As first mine Subaru was jdm wrx.
But same stories was heard when bought newage.

 

[Midnight blue]

My latest purchase arrived today [emoji38]

Just need the time to fit[emoji48]
