July 27, 20169 yr Well the touch screen doesn't work on this thing any more and it just does traffic announcement searches every 2 minutes... I'd almost (almost) be happy with a jap unit [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

July 29, 20169 yr Author Out for a meal for my old mans 70th and the waiter has come over, excuse me sir is that your green subaru? Yes why ? Follow me please [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35] some daft woman in a 3 series had hit me coming out of the space behind Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
July 29, 20169 yr Author All details exchanged, she didn't want to go through insurance so just gonna take it to a couple of bodyshops and she's going to pay, randomly there's a mark next to the right of the light cluster, properly !Removed! up her n/s wing and door though [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
July 29, 20169 yr Shame it weren't the front wing and door. Would have saved paying that out your own pocket [emoji6] Just get it all priced up anyway. Fleece the old girl [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

July 30, 20169 yr Author Honestly I'm not sure had a conversation last night after the bump with my dad which was a bit cryptic to say the least, just told me 'I can't say much but hang fire on repairing the car for a month or two' ?? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
July 30, 20169 yr lol if you were to change it, what would you 'like' to change to - a newer Foz, an Impreza, something else?
July 30, 20169 yr Valetted mine inside and out, wax and all. Just got to black the tyres once they're dry. Then I'm going to sneak the Subaru owners club stickers on the back window while the wife isn't looking 😉

Depends mate, Misses wants something she can learn to drive in so that limits my options, could always keep it and strip it it to the most random track car ever Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
July 30, 20169 yr Managed to replace my fuel pump with a walbro... half way through changing the up-pipe to a decat one. Biggest difficulty was finding all of the stupid bolts holding on the turbo heat shield! The downpipe bolts were a lot easier in comparison
July 31, 20169 yr After another day spent trying to get the up-pipe changed... partial success!! It's fitted, unfortunately the up-pipe between the turbo leaks a little. Not surprising since the studs refused to stay in place and would constantly move when trying to tighten. Anyone know how to properly secure them so I can tighten a nut onto them properly?

Double nut them put a deep socket on and tighten that should do the trick 😊 Good luck

Most ambitious DIY job i've done on my Subaru so learned a lot, just a pain in the bum will need to do it again!

Rusty exhausts are the worst part of any car would hate to change mine it's probably been there 20years (lots of cutting bolts off) i know eBay has new studs if you need them. I've spent many a late night doing a five minute job 😅
August 1, 20169 yr Author Should have just ground them off with angle grinder then replaced with turbo blanket or wrapped up pipe ☺ Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
August 1, 20169 yr I used New studs and genuine gaskets on the 4 up pipes I've fitted and not had 1 leak yet [emoji6] Tighten the up pipe to head support bracket last If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
