im tinking of buying one anyone ever owned one any pitfall i should look for im aware of the headgasket problem if it helps it the 1990 with the 7m-gte engine

cheers guys was a bit drunk and i ruind my laptop apparently it doesnt like beer

why do i not get a happy birthday post everyone else does thats 2 years in a row:clap:

sorry somthing like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Round-Red-LED-Switch-Kitcar-Dashboard-foglights-panel-/390414030716?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ae67d577c

you can get a switch from any auto/electric store with a little red led on it..im the same as you iv got the import..mine has a liitle round switch next to the steering wheel

wee update and im about to cry came home from work today to find the car on the ground dont kow how but it fell off the stands..nearly in tear i dug holes in the garden to my srpiz it landed on the wooden block id put in for back ups no damage to the underside what so ever(lucky or what) anyway after 5 hours of digging n jacking got it back up got it crancking again but no fire..turns out in my rush the fpr was on upside down..feel like an idiot for that on the down side though iv destroyed the side skirts as a result of the digging n jacking friday the 13th eh

right wentout to it today rechecked earths,coil pack spark plugs everthing i can think of and still nothing could the started relay be fookd

that would work but idealy you want to minimise any sort of clamping on the piston due to increasing the chances of damage if you dont know what your doing airs the best and safest way to go if the pistons realy stuck in theyr

if it helps any some of the impreza models use the same calipers..more of them and cheaper.. what years though i cant quite remember

iv gave up on it for today and tomorrow on sunday im gonna hit it again im thinking coz the injector wasnt right that theres tons of fuel in the cylinder so im gona pull the plugs and turn it by hand see if that forces some of it out heres hoping coz im getting sick to the back teeth with it now

sorry just read that properly youll really need to get the hose fittings out..try some fast freeze spray..cant remember the proper name of it but its made by wurth

to get the pistons out you can get a compressor and some wood place the wood between the pistons the place the compressor nozzle into the hole where your brake hose attaches too if one comes out before the others then get somemore wood and jam it in theyr to stop it coming out any further.. hope that helps

thats a scottish pov if iv ever heard one...it was the same with david..jaw..coulthard

no starter isnt even throwing out

nae worries lee were's the best place to buy conzult softwear and cable?

a little update took the fuel rails of and found number 4 inj wasnt seated correctly(seriosly out) anyway sorted that cleaned everythingup as i was going..anyway now it just wont turn over ill put a wee vid up off whats happening

nope no alarm striped the plenum off again..start from the fuel rails up.. notice though that the fuel rail that came off the engine had an earth..on the one from the parts engine doesnt

mmm imobilizer wheres that then

right check the ptu the conector them selfs are fine the wires goinv into the conectors are starting to show tiny bits of copper.. checked the fuel lines definetly fuel getting through and the relay and fuse are good just going out to check for spark

would a faulty ptu not throw a code 21

lee that would be fantastic..if you could bring conzult with you as well

what she sounded like last night after a return trip to work

kinda sounds like somethings shorting(very audible clicks)

well i had to swap the cas unit and injectors/fuel rail because the connectors were the earlier units here's a video of it trying to start today.. poor quality but im trying to film while turning the key

it was service on friday night before the engine went in..was running ok..idiling at 900-1k(a little high) it was down on power quite badly which would point to a collapsed cat but the not starting now after a got runs puzzling me.. batterys dead now on charge
