Changed coil pack.
Didn't feel this justified a new thread, but I'm still having a weird issue with my Lupo 1.0.
The check engine light is on/flashing, it runs really rough at idle (and through the rev range) and it seems to have lost a bit of power. My immediate thought was misfire caused by the coil Pack (and forums backed that up) so I replaced the coil pack today but it's still misfiring and is horribly lumpy. I have no choice but to drive it to work tomorrow unfortunately.
It's pretty strange.
Maidstone? So what's the quote for the exhaust then?![]()
28 is quite impressive.
In the XKR... I only got that when leaving the cruise control on 65... maybe peaking at 29... at least according to the computer... but then I thought they over-read, rather than under-read
In more normal driving, it was averaging 22-25 for me... although I think I mentioned... I somehow managed to average 16.7mpg for my ownership... hehehe
Spark plugs?
The computers are usually off so you may be getting 30, maybe worth working it out yourself?![]()
Bought a few things ready to grind a patch of my roof down to bare metal, "pickle" it, and prime it, ready for paint and blending.![]()
Also had a lengthy conversation with a good friend about possible modifications... I do plan on changing the wheels, suspension, induction and exhaust, but I have been thinking about internal mods... (cams + valves, retainers and springs) & tuning.
Maybe...
Changed 17" stock alloys to 18" Rota GTRs.
Changed stock panel filter to AEM Cold Air Intake.
I was getting the horrible feeling it is slightly slower now on the journey home.. (Although I did still have 4x wheels in the back and it was a bit wet)
Think it might need a dyno and/or remap now that it has the AEM CAI - did a quick video and could hear a little bit of popping. Though I'm not sure if that's normal or was occurring pre-CAI.
It was (or should be) making at least 330bhp as it has the Prodrive Performance Pack.
Recommendations for a dyno in West Midlands/Warwickshire area?
(It's a Subaru WRX STI hatchback btw)
An induction kit is terrible idea without a map, Imprezas are notoriously sensitive to intake chances and its likely that fuelling is way off what if should be now.
What have you done to your car today?
