It went straight in 👍 same manifolds (plastic intake)

I have a delamination issue and I want to replace the system. Ideally I want something like KENWOOD I'm having an issue with installers saying theres no harness available and that i will lose all the steering wheel controls, cameras and car info. Surely there must be a way!? Anyone in a 2018 /19 replaced the system please? To replace from Subaru was £2-3.5k!! I also only have 9 days to make the claim through warranty!

My car had 97k and the cvt had never been done but did have a full subaru history. It was the first thing I did (with Subaru) and the car is smooth and regularly gets 40mpg on long runs.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone with good knowledge of JDM VAB STIs or access to Subaru EPC can help. My cousin has what appears to be an early Japanese WRX STI, which his father has given him. The details are: Model: CBA-VAB Applied Model: VABA4FH Chassis: VAB-004666 Gearbox: TY856UB9AA Paint: K7X WR Blue Pearl Plate engine model: EJ20YHG9LJ The engine itself is also stamped EJ20. However, my UK V5C says: Engine capacity: 2457cc Engine number: NOT KNOWN This doesn't seem to tally with the Subaru identification plate or the engine stamping. I'm trying to establish whether: VABA4FH should have left the factory with an EJ20 (1994cc)? Does anyone have access to Subaru EPC or FAST who could confirm the original build specification for VAB-004666? Has anyone seen the DVLA register a JDM VAB with the wrong engine capacity before? Is there any way of obtaining the original Japanese build sheet or export records from the chassis number? The car was first UK registered in October 2025 on an age-related LB64 plate, so I'm wondering if an error may have been made during the import registration process. I'm not trying to increase the value of the car or make any claims, I'd just like to establish what Subaru actually built so I can correct the V5C if it's incorrect. Any help from people familiar with VABs or with access to Subaru factory data would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, Important member safety notice: please be extremely cautious when buying parts from people you do not know. We have recently seen a small number of scammers joining the community and attempting to target members with used car parts. These adverts or private messages may look tempting, often featuring rare, interesting, or hard-to-find parts, but the seller may then ask you to continue the conversation by email, either with them directly or with a “friend”. Please do not engage with anyone selling parts unless they are an established and trusted member of the community. These scammers are very convincing! Things to avoid: Do not buy from brand-new members with little or no contribution to the community. Do not continue conversations by private email if the seller is trying to move you away from the club/forum. Be cautious of sellers claiming the parts belong to a friend. Avoid sending money by PayPal Friends & Family, bank transfer, or any method with no buyer protection. Be suspicious of parts that seem rare, cheap, or “too good to miss”. Do not feel pressured into paying quickly to secure an item. Ask a the community for seek advice from friends if you are unsure before sending any money. Usually, if you have a gut feeling something is wrong, then do not send money. To help protect members, new members will no longer be allowed to post parts or items for sale straight away. Anyone with few posts who wishes to sell parts or items must contact a team member first. The team may ask for verification before allowing the advert. Cars may still be listed for sale, but please take extra care. Always view the car in person where possible. If a deposit is required, only use PayPal Goods & Services — never Friends & Family. Our aim is simple: to protect members and stop scammers from taking advantage of the community. Thank you for helping keep the club safe. The Club Team p.s if you come across someone trying to scam via forum post or PM, please get in touchor click report on their post so we can ban them out, block them and save others in the club. It's not too often but mainly try via PM.
