Lovely car mate, glad you seen the light! What did you think of the evo 6? It was an itch I’d like to scratch one day but I’m probably going to get something new as and when my Subaru goes.

Nothing beats the sound of a Twinscroll STI, the burble is so *** in comparison. Nice car. Get those headlights wet sanded and refurbed! You'd be suprised at how much better they are at night once they are cleaned up.

Sounds like a bad grounding issue. I was going to suggest fuel pump but don't think its that.

Happened to a mate of mine at a car wash. Thought immobiliser, fuel pump or water had got somewhere it shouldn't have. Turned out to be a grounding issue.
