Go for PIAA, always first thing I change on new car as the silicone means the water beads and runs off no problem - initial expense but they do last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the price for 2. Used sainsburies for one when needed it urgently but used these ever since. PIAA wipers worth it? Haven't changed them on this car yet but usually use Halfords or bosh depending what discount I get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_uk Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Yes because people ask how fast it is and I have to explain Subaru did actually make more than the wrx and Sti lol gearbox oil topped up, was well below the low mark and the gear change problems are going away more each Time I use it, gonna do a full change next. Cleaned and mostly waxed ready for more salt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobygirl Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Well I've had a mare of a week. My beasty failed it's mot and needed the offside front outrigger welding. Mate welded it for me as he does welding for a job. Went for the retest today and it failed again, the chap said it needs a complete plate not separate bits. So my question is can I buy these? The car is a 2000 wrx x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_uk Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Moderately productive day. Replaced rear diff oil, pretty sure Subaru Employ the hulk they take the mick with how tight the plugs are. Replaced grey Subaru carpets for some blue custom made , quality is ok for £20 anyway. Under sealed back end and behind wheels still need to do front end. Swapped wheels round. Hoovered, reblacked all rubber and plastic. ovation winter tyres, not great but only used 2mm doing 10,000 miles. Thought be burnt up by now tbh want some decent ones on.

PazzaN96 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 So this is what 13 years of rust deterioration does to the welds on a wishbone, the new one is a single piece so I'm far happier with that Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Subaru did a "sort of" recall on the front wishbones for some newage models. Think it just consisted of someone hitting a dot punch against the rusty wishbones . If it made a hole you got shiny new ones if it didn't punch a hole in them you were stuck with the standard twiglets on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGBZ Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Been working away from home for the last couple of weeks but arrived back this evening to find a nice little box waiting for me... And inside :D A pretty easy straighforward swap. The original unit pops out (once you can get you hands behind the dash) but only slightly as the wiring loom prevents full access (This is a RHD car). A small jewelers type screwdriver can be used to release the tab holding the wiring connector in place. The new unit simply plugs straight in. Testing before fitting it back in place.... Light turns orange when button is pushed... And goes green when the clutch is depressed ready for ignition... Don't you just love little mods which take only a few minutes but make a such big difference (visually anyway!). Got mine from here - Japanparts.com - JDM Parts,Performance Auto Parts Interesting that the lettering has a different layout to that shown on the site. Shipping took less than a week to NZ Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Looking pretty tidy and somewhat different . Unfortunately had to leave with them as the rear bumper wasnt sitting properly. Collect tomorrow now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_uk Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Removed front end to find I couldn't fit a mesh sheet instead of the grill without chopping up the existing parts. Gonna have to buy a proper grill afterall. Dammit. Fitted a front lip though and cleaned out radiator while it was off. £15 for lip and fixings. Isn't gods gift but for the price pretty happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJDMwagon Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Fitted a new temp sensor as occasionally it was chucking a code seems to run and idle better but could be the placebo effect 😂. Bit fiddly to fit you need small hands. Part number if anyone needs it in pic with old sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
