    Broken down near Manchester, specialist needed

    Thanks guys. I've got the car to Manchester to my mate's place. I'll try resetting the ECU just in case it's a simple problem, unlikely but worth trying... Failing that I'll contact Trevor.

    Broken down near Manchester, specialist needed

    I've momentarily over revved the engine by mistake and the car stopped running following a 'check injection' message. It won't start. I will now have the car towed to Manchester. I need the car back on the road Asap, can you please recommend a specialist? Many thanks.

    Impreza's

    I think 2007 was the last great one. I vaguely remember reading / hearing that 2.5 engine wasn't as durable than the earlier 2.0 though. I really wound't mind one if I knew I could deal with the running costs and keep it 100% at all times.

    Impreza's

    I owned a 2001 bug eye WRX (non-sti) for some 4 years. gearbox was the main issue, hardly capable of handling even the stock power (when pushed). running just above stock, around 240 - 260 hp, i had syncromenchs replaced a few times. understeer was another problem and you'd need to 'learn' how...

    Catback Exhaust System opinions?

    I went for a Milltek Resonated because I was looking for a quiet aftermarket exhaust, as I do lots of motorway driving. At the beginning one couldn't tell an aftermarket system was fitted unless exhaust was very, very hot. Then it began to 'break in' (??) and got sweetly louder and sounded...

    Would you buy an RS and why

    If I had the money to maintain it to 100%, I'd track mine twice a month! :smile: That'd improve my driving so drastically that I'd probably end up racing in a year or two. Again, if I had the money! I was never a Renault person. Never really liked any of them, would prefer Fords, VW's, Honda's...

    Exhaust Advice

    I've toyo manifold + milltek resonated cat back system and it's not loud at all. In fact I'm sure some would find it too quiet for a 'performance' exhaust. I've had powerflex lower and upper mounts installed together with the manifold and never experienced knocking. There was a lot of...

    Hello from Istanbul/Turkey

    Very few MK3 RS's indeed! I saw one in Bursa a few years ago but never in Istanbul. We're almost neighbours then, I'm from Kadikoy (Kiziltoprak) as well :smile:

    Ollie's GW 200 Project

    Sabelt wheel looks soo good!!!!!! Is there a massive difference in feel and pleasure while pressing it with the small steering wheel or is it more of an esthetical upgrade? How does feel in the city? I can't decide whether I should have the original wheel refurbed or go for a sabelt.... Sent...

    06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

    Great car and upgrades! This guy on RS sorted the cruise control getting a mount from demon tweaks and buttons from ebay. Have a look in this post: https://www.cliosport.net/threads/aftermarket-steering-wheel-cruise-control.642738/ A bit of a subjective question but... Does the smaller wheel...

    Hello from Istanbul/Turkey

    Welcome to the forum! Car looks great. I've never seen a MK3 RS in Istanbul, you must be one of the very few & lucky ones to own one! :) I'm from Istanbul as well BTW but been living in the UK for some 7 years now. Enjoy the forum.

    My 2010 Racing Blue 200

    Car needs new front tyres and pads replaced soonish. I'll replace the pads with DS1.11's (were DS2500) and will get new ADR08r's for the front. Some idiot scratched RHS of rear bumper while probably parking behind me but won't be bothered with the paint just yet. I'll apply some polish, recover...

    My 2010 Racing Blue 200

    Last week I got the rear pads replaced with new OEM Brembo's which solved the problem of pulling left under hard braking. The car was faultless (apart from the slight pull to the left which would go unnoticed by anyone driving on a track) so I thought I should take the soonest opportunity to go...
