Didn’t end up using bracket as it leaked oil from the plate sitting up to the filter housing

Very cheap here in NZ, import may be difficult and probably much different to NZ

@Alexshao1 .., RColts are obtainable here just not as cheap..😅, if I could at least find a reputable parts distributor from NZ, then maybe at least get the stuff you guys have..😅

Parts in nz are expensive and hard to come by

Yeah it’s a bit weird to not get much coolant out, no clue how much it supposed to hold .I’ll be changing my coolant again as I have new coolant hoses getting out on soon.

The bumper was off and u cant remove the flares with the glue residue left behind so pre taped plastic is fine and professionals do similar if not same.

Hard to find seats for sale , cleaned out good after washing

​@Alexshao1 .... are they actually the same seats found on Evo X's ..? If so, 🤔.. just the ColtR rails are needed right?😅

@@Col.Big123 yes same as evo x, there's full cloth or cloth and leather . Correct just need rails, i have just put them both in and will post a video on it soon

@Alexshao1 ... ,thanks bro🤙will be looking forward to that vid episode

Glad to report no coolant leaks

I believe its a water seal to protect from moisture

Jauce is what it is called , there’s also yahoo auctions as well

Thanks mate Just wondering, how long does shipping take? I live in Australia ???

It really depends on who ships the parcel out and other factors but couple weeks roughly

For the transmission fluid? Prob not best to suck up as it wasn’t designed to be

@@Alexshao1 ok thnx, what inner diameter of seal ring?

@@olegkhe Do you mean the o ring crush washer for the drain plug? that you can reuse as that's what I did before and had no leaks. The drain plug it self is 24mm socket so maybe 20mm diameter washer but im not 100% on the exact size

pipes wise for noise isn't as much as to say if you had a pod filter , but more so would gain some horsepower as it can hold boost better of course if tuning it can get more from hard pipes as well

@@Alexshao1 thanks I’ll leave it then is a lot of cash if not much more noise, don’t care about tuning power as is my daily

@@JamesSegeyaro-z6p yeah fair enough , I replace bc was always dirty when u touched it and I have tuned mine so helps more so for me

@@chacekim1043 unlocks heaps of flow put the turbo

Gauges themselves are still working was just the sensors for oil gauges started to play up . So I replaced them with AEM gauges which are much more accurate and reliable

Damn how long did they last

More than a year or so before issues slowly came about, cheap gauges kinda to be expected

Or what size wire do you recommend ?

I just looked up AMP wiring kit and used that as its a universal kit

depends on the power or ground, the power should be a thicker gauge cable compared to the ground. You can probably get a 0 gauge for positive power and 4 gauge for ground negative

Oh the connector? Could try out back in

What gave it away? HAHAHA

Depends on quality some fakes work better than others but not better than real

When I first put it on yes on the corners of the half seals, but this time no I didn’t and I have seen any leaks

Hahaha hand me down

Yeah run bigger gauge positive power in case as does use bit of juice so don’t over heat the cable, AMP kit should come w a 8 gauge negative/ground wire. Think used 4 gauge for power

Yep most radiators have a plug u can screw off to drain and thats what ive done just didnt show it

Eventually will probably get new shocks but for right now them seem to cope alright , my rears are Version R shocks so already a bit stiffer and lower than factory Plus suspension

The back of gauges has a switch I think if u hold it or just press it till the colours are changing u can then change the colour

Yeah for sure won’t get any more power from more grounds but is for more aesthetics more than anything else

Yes ran before and after the install but wouldn’t change how car starts regardless of gimmick or not , because realistically won’t gain anything but looks

Definitely, need to buy from a authorised seller or if possible MAC themselves

Took many measurements to get it perfectly slotted in with the gauges

If there’s anything that says made in Taiwan or anything then it’s a rep has to have MAC on the part itself

It doesn't say we're it is made

I think it is real I bought it from Burger Tuning so yeah

Using 2.5in adapter but you will need to get the MAF rescaled by tuning it as it is bigger than oem size

thanks for the heads up. Looking into getting a FMIC in near future!@@Alexshao1

Yeah sweet little cars even better tuned

Stock fuel pump can handle up to 300hp which is more than a stock block can handle

@@Alexshao1 the stock wrx fuel pump won’t last long your maxing it out at 300hp its better to upgrade to a walbro fuel pump. I ran into a fuel starvation issue when I upgraded to the pinks because the system was losing fuel pressure. The stock fuel pump motor will burn itself out because it’s over working itself

No need to change the fuel pump as they are capable of fueling more power than a stock colt engine can handle, I’ve only changed the injector to STI pink 565cc to lower the fuel duty cycle from 80% peak to now mid 50s . The pump it set will be fine haven’t had any fueling issues

There is no need to replace the fuel pump when upgrading injectors. If you do upgrade the pump to for example a dw65c youll need an fuel pressure regulator. 43psi is what your pressure should be, no more no less. I am running sti blue injectors, dw65c and tomei fpr on my colt 👍

Without tune anything more than a panel filter will run bad , mines been tune and rescaled the MAF for pod filter

Heat and moisture can’t wear it faster, I put my 3 port far away near the headlight area

@@Alexshao1 I see ok since original innovate i weird Myb the wired loose

Best is Mac valve themselves or see who is a certified supplier

Till when it die the old one did you have any issues?

@@NemesiscrxMy old (fake) didn’t have any issues till it died so can use at own risk and longevity

For a manual will probably throw a code as they are more sensitive, even for cvt there’s small idling issues and throttle response issues that get fixed w MAF scaling

So need to get it tuned basically, also does it take more fuel for heat soak or running rich. Thanks

@@Motomaniac2408 will be best if can be tuned yeah , prob be a bit warmer IAT but nothing that I can feel . Best to have k@n panel filter if u worried about temps

Need the sound of turbo dose woosh 😂😂

@@Motomaniac2408 hahaha there is turbo noise even without pod filter . Panel filter is still good for noise and just hard pipes and a recirc BOV

Normal colt i assume you mean Version R is that there isnt as much body spot welds and some other small things to make it a stifffer chassis, but the big difference is there is more boot space rest is just minor things

Sounds like there’s a vacuum leak somewhere , it probably maybe the BOV is leaking. Only way to know is if your have a stock or another spare to throw on to test

Yeah optional parts from factory

will only fail if anything thing is illegally modified or if any big issues arise, unless they tell you the said issues and such
