WR1 Owners Club

Hello All,

My WR1 no 292 will be up for sale in Early March.

She is due at AS performance for a final check over and solve a cold start issue ( Over fuelling on cold start only ) at end of Feb so will be ready ! All the usual excuses ... Now working abroad and baby forces sale ! In honesty as I'm away most the time I simply don't drive her and its a shame someone else could be !

Here's for the car stuff

55,000 miles
Full service History - last one completed one month ago including diff oils and gearbox oils
No 292 with plaque in car and tax disc holder.
All other normal WR1 modifications

Non standard items completed prior to me owning

Lateral headers
Alloy radiator
Exceedy clutch ( £2000 )

AVCR type R boost Solenoid controller with 3 maps
Mapped by Jolly Green Monster in Surrey Running 320 bhp in normal, 370 bhp in setting A and 418 bhp in setting B

Only thing I have done since owning is changed wheel colour to Matt titanium.

you have a choice £11,500 now or £10,500 with cold start issue.

Also selling my 52 plate Mini Cooper s which has been mapped and running close to 200 bhp as well if interested @ £3500.... Cheeky ! Lol 69,000 fish etc

Scott_rob@hotmail.co.uk to mail me for pictures while I work out how to download ! Lol

Thanks Scott

Is it running a standard turbo to get 418?

No sorry it has a larger turbo supplied by owen developments. I'm not sure which one but I'm going to ask AS performance to have a look for me ... Also larger injectors as well

Sorry I'm not the most mechanically minded ! Lol

Might be the only WR1 in Germany soon...


Cheers

Micha

Very possibly Michael !

It's going into AS Performance at some point next week for some TLC like we discussed so she will be all ready hopefully for you to come and look over before driving her home on the wrong side of the road ! Lol

Scott

And running 418bhp on a topmount !

should be a fun run home on the autobahn!

some photos for scott as he was struggling. ding on wing is no longer there and wheels are now titanium.











looks nice!

I was just about to say wheres your plaque gone, then I spotted it next to the cup holder.
Does the air intake not suffer from heat soak from the engine bay, or does still having the wing snorkel in place get over this.

Thanks Gary

I am a total idiot with technology although I will try with wheels ... ! Lol

Hello weird fish... Forgive me for being a bit thick but I have no idea what you mean.... Lol ... It looks basically the same as pictures as I've never touched anything under the bonnet...not sure if that helps at all !

no problem scott.
looks like you can just see end of wing snorkel .
i was always suspicious of cars with no plaque or plaque at side of cupholder.
but seen a few with plaque there, plaque was supplied later and i think some owners or dealers put at side of cupholder or not in car at all.
its only stuck on with badge tape!
#367 had it in correct place in centre console.
#273 didnt have it at all , funnily enough #367 has no badge and #273 has one in correct place now!

Yeah plaque was put next to cup holder by previous owner ... I quite like it there to be honest.

The air filter is after market, original one would be fully enclosed thus protecting it from heat issues from the engine bay.

Thought I'd explain a bit more, ( eating a curry whilst typing is not always a good thing ).
The original filter arrangement, with a decent filter insert, is usually good enough for highish horsepower, but people tend to change them for cone type filters thinking that they would improve performance, but what they don't think of is "heat soak".
Basically you ideally want to keep the air intake as cool as possible, therefore allowing all those ponies to be released, and put that smile upon your face, lol.
You can buy cone type filters that sit inside an enclosure, and this keeps them protected from the heat generated in the engine bay, but obviously these are more expensive, hence the reason why you see just the cone sat in the engine bay on a lot of cars.
Hopefully that explains it a little better, I'm off to enjoy a glass of red now, boy that curry was good!

What's going on with the intercooler? Doesn't look like its standard, where's the sti one?

It's a Perrin oversized top mount. Needs to be larger due to the power it's currently running.

I never put it on but the previous owner told me it was basically double size of normal one on std ?

If I am correct they are the pictures of when I sold it.

They certainly are Paul you are correct !

Nothing on inside has changed and only wheels on outside which is why there is a different photo.

How are you doing ?..... You changed your mind and went back to a Subaru yet ?

Hi Scott i am doing well thank you,hope you are alright and no mate do not want another subaru just yet cheers me and my wife are expecting are second little one soon, good luck with the sale mate.

Hello Paul,
