tom_gr7 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Anything catch your eye? Yea, found a lovely red mk4 b4 blitzen. Will try and edit the link in (on my phone atm) http://www.goodmayesmotors.co.uk/used-car-subaru-legacy-saloon-1529 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSam Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 That red is certainly eye catching isn't it? Although the silver GT saloon on there is very nice too. When do you think you'll give in and buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Whilst we're on the subject of stuff that's currently unobtainable how does this tickle your fancy dave ? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/forester/subaru-forester-sti-rare-facelift-360bhp-398ftlb/4438043 [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Very nice, equally unobtainable but a bit too modded for my tastes [emoji6] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Gonna have to clay the car, it's covered in flecks of spray paint... can't see it unless you look close and the car is rough as hell to the touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do you think you'll give in and buy one? yeah mate, lovely. Needs some nicer alloys and a spoiler though :) Unfortunately, i dont think i'll be upgrading anytime soon. I've got a holiday in Cyprus to pay off and a wedding to pay for, then buy a house n have kids... lol she's got it all planned out haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 If I had 10k i'd be seriously tempted. One drive through your local village in that & people would be getting out the way !

stants Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thought I'd recognised it. It affectionately named "the hearse' owned by somone on UK foz sold last year but was wearing private plates and different wheels Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Makes you wonder why it's being shipped on again so soon Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 This is true dave although by all accounts this is the 2nd time in a year it's up for sale, so maybe people don't get it or have accrued too many points, 360bhp &nearly 400ftlbs or torque gets you from a to b very quickly indeed Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Car died on me sat in traffic on way home ?? Just watched the idle drop lower amd lower till it cut out, Started up again fine and got home with no more dramas. Off to interrogate it when it's cooled &check Battery voltage loose pipes etc. On another note looks like the clutch is on the way out, smells when giving it the beans and Is very jumpy in traffic [emoji35] Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Dunno mate, could just be playing up with the heat and what not, I'll have a proper look later on, yeah I'm away at end of Sept so need it doing before then as I can't be breaking down Hahah Just a thought, could it be down to the clutch being so worn not releasing properly etc ?

WideSam Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Got home from work to find my stepdad had taken one of the heads off the old block. I was then shown the almost comical amount of movement in the old rod bearing, that made the piston lift a good 5mm out the top of the bore on no.3 cylinder. I was then given the list of tools I needed to replace (as the head studs were pretty stuck in there) in order to get the other side off. On the upside, by eye, they heads look pretty good. We've also got a flat bar we can do a preliminary check with, before I can get some more money together to get them off to be checked, skimmed, if necessary and cleaned. Thank god it's pay day tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Stants have you checked the clutch fluid level/colour ? The clutch fluid degrades quick due to being positioned over the turbo and sometimes gets forgot at service intervals ,so a fluid refresh can help a bit if the clutch fluid looks discoloured 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Cheers Clive I'll have a look I know it's not been done for a while, are they fairly easy to bleed ? Never done one before ☺ Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Cel codes clear black plug check, plugged in to evoscan, voltage good, maf values look ok, no increased knock or Anything that looks out of place, only idle is a bit funny so maybe a loose hose, I'll investagate hoses later on, Clive the fluid is filthy !
