@Jumper118 didn't have the WRX for long? Was it just a stop gap until everything got sorted insurance-wise with the WR1?

agw_01 · 24 Feb 2018 at 22:36

WRX looked good, was it an SL?

that would be great. I need to some bits off it first as i have found myself an sti already. I I need to get the ecu, bootlid+spoiler and the exhaust off it.

The sti I am looking at has an issue with the ecu where it wont come on boost until the car has warmed up. It also has a 2007 boot lid and prodrive spoiler which I don't like at all. Then i want a prodrive exhaust as well cos it sounds epic and not too loud.

Scoobynet man. Use that.

Buy a different sti forget one plagued with issues. Unless you're definitely sure thats and ecu related issue with boost.

What is your budget? Facebook is a great place for buying looked after scoobs with plenty of history you check out through the users profile.

Send me a message through trust and I'll reply so you can buzz across pics and details and your phone number I will set up an ad on PH for you.

it is not plagued with issues. I know exactly what's wrong with it and why

I am 100% sure because the garage have swopped the ecu out of it that was working into a customers car

and put the not working ecu in this one.

I' ll try scooby.net though thanks

I would rather donate money to apple than use facebook for 18 seconds.

The sti I am buying is single owner from new and has a full service history with the garage I work at and scooby clinic

its exactly what i want.

Ill trust you once I get home from work

You shouldn't be coming on boost until the car is warm anyway

I wonder if it's a protection feature rather than a fault though.

Prodrive exhaust you say...

Yes i know the guy who has said car which it was taken out of drives flat out from cold. Which is why he has found this fault. I let my car get to tat least the first line before i even move unless I'm in the alto. Then I go straight to red line from cold because it needs to break so I have an excuse to swap it

Vita · 26 Feb 2018 at 23:17

My ford won't come onto full boost until oil is upto temp. Not an sti by any means but maybe it is a feature?

Anyway all the best with it.

Rybo89 · 27 Feb 2018 at 08:18

Scoobs run like a turd until they are warmed up anyway. First indication.

Rybo89 · 27 Feb 2018 at 21:04

Yup eagle F1s, great in the wet n dry, ***** in the snow

To be fair, it made it up the drive then just randomly slid back down, it is pretty steep.
