first time out on the track in the old girl. Solid session with no problems on my end. Ran afew 70sec laps, reckon with a few clean laps i could get it running sub 70sec as is.
Didn't realise on the night but happened to notice on the gopro footage that the PFC was measuring 1.4-1.5ish bar boost at certain parts of the track with no knock. as far as i was aware the car was tuned to 1bar as i had never seen more than that on the street when giving it a poke. Still undecided on what to do about this as the boost is controlled via the apexi AVCR which is head fuck in its own right. I have picked a link G4+ for the V7-V9 wrx which i was planning on storing away till i drop the 03 wrx motor, loom and cluster but upon seeing this i think i may try and splice it into the 1999 loom and get it all tuned up. On the other hand i don't waste any money on the current setup and just keep sending it till its dies. I think i may go with option B as i could end up spending 1k plus getting the
ecu installed, tuned and running just for the motor to shit the bed one or two sessions later (motor currently has 215xxx + km's on it). Still thinking.
Currently the car is up on jack stands as i have removed the rear diff and gearbox ready to swap in the 4.44 gear i have. As always shit escalates and i have ordered diff bushings, diff mount bushings, shifter bushing, a new shifter linkage and group N gearbox mounts to freshen it all up while i have it apart. Rear diff is nothing special, just your standard open centre.
Will also remove the turbo to repair the uppipe shield which is rattling around and replace the gaskets to try and fix an exhaust leak.
Fun times.
Skip to 2:50 to see a falcon hit the wall :'(
