Did you have a BOV.. that is what usually creates the "flame".. the BOV blows off the air into the atmosphere leaving just gas fumes in the exhaust which when shifting up, or letting off the gas, backfiring ignites the gas fumes. With just a stock BPV there is usually to much air in the exhaust to ignite.
Eh not going catless unfortunately because I want to pass inspection easily, but I am getting a high flow cat in the DP so the gains should be somewhat similar just maybe not quite as throaty sounding :/
one of the best cars I've seen in this thread. a true all terrain
vehicle. When I was
living in the Caribbean tons of people had old land cruisers. also a LOT
of the really old first and second generation Land Rover Defenders;
those things are fucking gnarly can't believe the terrain we made it over in them (completely unmodified by the way). makes me sad to see the
current state of land rovers high end luxury SUVS that will never see
anything other than city and suburban pavement. personally I had an
early 90's mittsubishi pajero 2800 turbo down there; that was a beast of
a car as well. miss that car
I have the skoda version of this car looks like this:
A practical European car. A Skoda Roomster. Basically a Volkswagen Golf with same classic 1,9 diesel. 100% economical car and practical as f..k. But ugly and a bit daft.
I have a Packline skiboks for the winter.
Frederic, lets meet meet up and do a road trip through the Alps. Beer and skiing pow.
fresh motor needs love and an oil change before beating on it. I personally like 3 oil changes. 1 at 100 miles after a fresh motor then 500 miles and then 1000 miles. Then change every 1200 after that. With the STI I would change it every 3000 and check the oil often.
engines are run before they get put in cars nowadays anyways. firm believer in 2-3 oil changes before 1000 and driving it like you stole it besides that.
I am about 99% sure they use mobile 1 full synthetic at subaru dealerships for stis, may be something else but basically the same as mobile 1. Subaru doesnt manufacture its own oil...
just removed the governor, new carb and added a CDI box/coils. gets to 50 without much of a problem. i'd like to add a new pipe so it sounds people can hear me swervin' through the lanes. get @ me ladiezzzz
dealerships generally use exactly the same oil as they recommend. the difference is the dealership buys it in retardedly large quantities. i have watched a castrol truck pour oil into the audi dealership across from the ford dealership i work at (dont ask me what ford uses, i dont have a clue, but its pretty reasonable quality non synthetic)
I've heard they all use the same, because really all oil is pretty much the same now. And who takes their car to the dealer for an oil change? Way to expensive.
