That’s correct alyn, spec C cars 03> got the larger seat mounted 12L tank.
I’m just doing the stock Sti jdm version only reason over a uk tank saves running wires / pipping all way to the boot . Everything can be done neater using all factory clips and pipes etc just with some wiring needed. I need to look at some diagrams to work out to use the oem timer for the pump too. Here’s a google image to show location https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9372cb12fa.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I'll check with my brother but sure his was in the boot. His was the sti Prodrive style with the roof vent

1) the cobra rear box failed DB readings i wanted, so i have had to put the prodrive silencer back on to meet the DB level, il sell that back on. 2) i think the rear wheel bearing is starting to go as i get a noise turning left . 3) new drivers arch liner has split of the tab that goes to the bumper some how so annoyed thats broke . |
The cooler spray system has arrived ,
Switch , tank , timer relay, and fittings, I bought a Sti 7 intercooler undertray too with the spray jet and piping too so I can fit it all like factory, just need to make some sort of wiring harness for it all. Also booked the car in for mapping on the 28th of this month. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c6f87f61d7.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks to MB over on s’net supplying all the fastenings and brackets I’ve fitted the jdm intercooler kit in, I’m currently working on a loom off the car to make it all work,but need to source two plugs of a broken car so I can keep it all very oem and plug / play. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d43473d650.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cb529b3d83.jpg

Well it’s back up and running again ,
Turbo in , new oil line feed , the undertray on, so she’s ready to be mapped Tuesday.. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a3006f9653.jpg So I’ve used - Vf30 billet wheel with extended tips and ported exhaust housing. Harvey Smith up pipe 44mm 2.5in full decat - Prodrive rear box Cosworth panel filter Sti TMIC + scoop/tray Sti pinks Walbro pump Rts clutch /flywheel Tgv flaps out.

Cars all mapped now , has a nice punch to it , circa mid 300s will be put on the dyno very soon but not to fussed as drives very well. The brakes and suspension are amazing too little to much for daily but for fun car it’s perfect. The forge turbo jacket really works you can feel zero heat soak on the TMIC , https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...808db1d553.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Awesome :ok:

Update.
I have had the car geometry done. I have to much rear camber atm but camber bolts are on order to dial that all out as I didn’t think it would be that far out and would of been able to jiggle it back but had no luck slacking the bolts and fiddling the rest is fine. The caster could do with being more / equal but I have more plans. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...99f9cb5ae8.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bf6c9cba9d.jpg Next thing I’ve sourced a Tsl group n rear box to swap out the Prodrive . https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...550699cd35.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...716a3ba5b4.jpg Short terms plans Fit camber bolts to the rear dial rear camber to -1degree even. Put arb to middle setting And go try it all out see how it handles . Rolling road booked for the 29th.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Tap talk seems to be a pain in up loading pictures now says all to big.
Seems to be making very hard for forums prob why the Facebook group is busy compared to the forum that’s extremely quiet these days. |

In terms of uploading images like on type-ra forum, yes we could do the same - but we then host the content. With the average mobile phone pic being up to 5MB these days, the storage used would quickly grow - and our hosting costs would increase. Type-ra might be fine with that as they probably make income through advertising and sale of goods (i know they have an online shop) but we run neither on SES for various reasons. Either way, we'll try and sort something :ok: |

Update , please note that tap talk is slow so may have problems loading pics ,
So the car was dyno’ed few weeks back and made sod all power which I kinda felt it had been sluggish lately, 310hp 260ft was suspect of a leak somewhere . Many hours searching turned out the nice vf30 billet was the cause so it was returned and options went around which way to go, and I decided to try something different for myself and put it to twinscroll, it’s all built just awaiting a clutch change as believe my new current stage one is causing me some drive train noise, so shall be fitting an exedy this week, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I had some issues with exhausts as the jdm uses different lengths in 03/04 and another 05-07 so it has
New Rcm 3inch down pipe new Rcm Twinscroll headers/up pipes, JDM Kakimoto regu cat back. Samco Grp N intake pipe. Jdm sti VF37 with Forge actuator revised Sti Version 9 solid Intercooler Y pipe, new gearbox oil and rear diff, new Centre diff bearing kit. possibly more but i forget, |
Awesome stuff, nice one. You're not hanging about with the changes with going twinscroll as well....

Thanks chaps, getting there just abit of fun (sometimes) biggest headache was the exhausts as no
Real information out there and exhaust supply’s not knowing ive ended up with 3down pipes and two centre sections but in the end Rcm supplied a new down pipe which allowed me to run the kakimoto from a jdm bugeye rich at east Kent was breaking. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bc4590c527.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8fb1dcd0b4.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Cheers, forgot to mention stock mirrors back on too, going for more oem+ look I think now, uk300 splitter is a must I think too

Excited to see this and get it. I've been after one for a good while and rare to see a genuine one new boxed with the clips etc. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...acfe3e722f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0f79dddd7f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...664b10caba.jpg
