Whilst the twin scroll jdm's don't burble they still sound fantastic + spool up hugely quicker than a "normal" scoob ... bike like scream near the rev limit too

TX.

Agreed.


But I think he said it's a non-JDM (previous page, post 57)... But at least he'll get his desired burble, though.

Put en-equal length headers on it then & slow the car down

£5800 for it! Needs a service and mot in a few months but drives perfectly (albeit abit slow)

Get it checked over properly and surely if your buying it from a dealer get a full mot and service thrown in
its a buyers market.
Usually cars are cheap for a reason

rich09

I wanted to take it so I got money taken off for those things and I would rather get them done myself for reassurance.

tubbytommy

How much did you pay then???

joz8968

Is it defo a non-JDM then - single scroll?

rich09

£5800, needs a little tlc but only as I am particular.
The alarm thing is amazing, keep forgetting to put the code in and the alarm keeps going off. Lol

scotty_b

Good price buddy hope its a good one fella!

Code in for the alarm? What every time? Not that ive seen best read up on that incase its not quite right.

rich09

Every time I open a door or turn it off and on again etc. It's for the immobilized and blackjax.

What are the best things to get more power?? Full decat panel filter, injectors?

Blackjax will drive you nuts but its a great protector so to speak

Full decat
Decent plugs
Panelfilter/CAI
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Ecutek

Should see you around 330-340

Theres a guy possibly breaking his car on SN members cars for breaking, that has a ecu i think with ecutek or a flash on wants £80

Will need mapping unless you stick to his spec

rich09

just to save looking at the moment, what sort of cost are we looking at for the above??
dont mind second hand parts..

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

5800 seems very cheap did you hpi it or have it checked over by anyone??

rich09

fully hpi'd it, checked over everything i could, 3rd gear is a little notchy at higher revs so need to sus that out and the bodywork could be better but thats what i do so no real problems.. lol

rich09

just so im clear.
i have a cat back system at the moment but want it fully decatted. so do i need to get a decat up pipe, downpipe and thats it??

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

The STI uppipe has no cat in it anyway. Just the downpipe needs swapping out for a decat job.

rich09

Ahh great.

Wmscooby

iTrader: (24)

£400-450 dependant on parts being available maybe less

Then mapping unless your sticking to the ecu's spec

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

when you say bodywork could be better, what do you mean as im trying to gauge a price for my sti before i advertise it, my bodwork is a1 so im just wondering what yours is like to reflect the price.

rich09

front bumper needs a repspray (lacquer peeling), few scratches around the car, none deep but some have been touched in.
2 doors have had a repair done to them and i can see a few silicones and some fish eye's.

as i said, its only as i know what to look for but most wouldnt notice these points.

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

lol as your in the trade what does fish eyes and silicones mean??
so how much would you estimate the cost of repair if your are not in the trade?
i.e. take to a good bodyshop!

rich09

depending on what you actually want, i would say the front bumper (whole) £150-£200
n/s/r bumper £100
thats all it needs to get it up to scratch. but to get it 'mint', i would say £600-£900, but thats to get it looking brand new.

how can i find out what decat downpipe i need? what size etc? i think its got a ninja 2 cat back on it but want a downpipe.

thanks
