FPR

what type of FPR is best ?

Up- Pipe any one got 1

soz to hear about the scoob shaun,we gutted for you
but sure it will be fighting fit in no time

The sti 8 intercooler will not fit your car mate, you will need a front mount if you are looking at a lot more power, you can fit the v5/6 sti intercooler but it is quite a bit work and some customising is needed.

Finns ported headers are a very good idea too.

Is Shauns a early type?

Sard FPR will do the job nice Muzz

FPR = sard, fuel lab. DO NOT get an ebay special, nearly sent mine up in flames.

Do I presume you are in conversation with the previous owner ref some explanation / reimbursement / contribution ?

ERM that would be a NO, i had picked the car up at 3pm on the saturday and the engine didnt have the problem till 22:30 on the sunday and as it had covered 300+ i think he mite be reluctant to contribute ???

started to smell fuel while driving, pulled over and popped the bonnet. was pissing out fuel from the gauge and was dripping down near the exhaust manifold. never never never never never never buy one if you value your car!

I'm guessing the 300 miles you have done are a mere fraction of the miles it has done overall, therefore your contribution to the scenario is minimal. Its more than likely this was an inherent problem and some signs may have already manifested themselves with the previous owner. (Obviously someone a damn sight cleverer than me needs to tell us if there are very obvious tell tale signs ahead of such a catastrophic failure)

I'd be surprised if there wasnt some avenue open to you in terms of limited legal recourse, as the vehicle has not demonstrated itself to be of sound nature, as described by the seller in the original advert.

Obviously its up to you Shaun, but I'd certainly be inclined to contact them and state your case.

I agree with Keith, nothing ventured, nothing gained

Looking at the amount of porting your doing finn do you need a second porting tool bud cos i got one just gathering dust
