YEAR : 1997
ENGINE : 4E-FTE


Bought this about a month ago...








came with a 2.5 inch exhaust to a POS $50 tip, a full Greddy front mount intercooler kit, Greddy type RS blowoff valve.

needed a few things doing to it, exhaust had been done on the cheap(thanks mag and turbo) so didnt have a flexi joint, and the tip came down at an extremely unattractive angle because they just welded on a straight pipe after the rear suspension.

also needed the engine mounts replacing as they were quite flogged out and causing the downpipe to crack (which looked like it had been re welded about 7 times )

my 17s wernt quite doing it for me so ive fixed the engine mounts, had the exhaust re done and had a new tip installed, and now its got some pretty wheels too

plan is now for some new seats, tint it, strip the rear and put in some decent suspension (king springs SUCK), then mayyyyybe onto turbo mods

heres how it looks now.

Not too much has been done to it lately. Ive installed a Gizzmo IBC boost controller, bridged out the factory boost pipes so now its running 12-13psi in all gears. Managed to get hold of a digital speedo/rev thingy, forgotten the brand but its a speedmonitor something lmao. removed the speedcut too as of this week ive lowered it a bit more, just with a new set of springs and installed a set of monroe rear struts, man does it handle good now.

Ive been having trouble with it losing power in wet weather, still havnt found the cause but mid way through my investigation it started running on three cylinders, found the leads were stuffed and water had been leaking through the scoop down into the spark plug holes, so a new lead set it was and i made up a plate to stop the water dripping onto the leads. pics to come

potentially found issue of lack of power, replaced ecu and replaced the gaskets for the BOV and it seems to be going ok (fingers crossed). got rear ended so the rear ends all pushed outta shape now and to make things worse, it seems to have dislodged the windscreen, which ive just found has been replaced (improperly) at some point, and surface rust has been creeping through the a pillar. now i have a massive water leak to deal with so now my car is resigned to the garage till its fixed, so now it sits sad in this state



on the plus side, TD04 conversion is well on its way



on that subject, im in need of a subaru 3 bolt type exhaust housing if anyone has one
