What have you done to your Subaru today ?

[Jesse James]

Did you get a power figure before and after? 

No mate, was a road map but after he took it out the first time he came in and said the fuel pump was going at the top end. With his experience he reckons it is at around 330 hp. Coupled with my fuel pump I would of gained 100 hp.

New front brakes on the rx, one small scratch and a little warping was making it a nightmare to drive.

finally got some overdue time off to get back to the classic fingers crossed done for christmas

Mines back on the road! Replacement AC pump now fitted.  Giving it a run to Bath before next weekend Japshow make sure all’s good.

Turns out to be a metal pipe between cylinders split and part has to come from Subaru Uk so going to be in Bath abit longer 🙄

[savage bulldogs]

Hope you get it sorted soon Geoff and hopefully it will sort your sticky caliper issue out too

Haven't been on here in a while. Been preoccupied but still doing bits to the old wagon. Finished putting a front lip on today. And the wheels went on last week painted a dark bronze.

[GeoffLeggy]

New pipe fitted and it’s alive again! Although there’s def not as much play on the clutch depression as before.

Yeah they do that lol what do you think off the wheels? Oh yeah and I put 4pots on a few weeks ago. 

[GeoffLeggy]

Well I’m a bit bias on the bronze but I do think it’s the best on a silver wagon.   4 pots are a great addition, find them local?

Agreed. I got them off a guy on face book £100 delivered with discs and pads all nearly new and the calipers had new seals in them.  They needed a good clean and a paint 

[GeoffLeggy]

That’s a bargain! Steady hand needed 

[Jamie_uk]

Going to get bushes pressed into subframe this morning then onto cleaning down and repainting this tank. 

[Tidgy]

Picked it up and drove it  😄 68 miles down lol

Thanks savage.  I may jinx it but the old wagon will always be with me even if it lives in the garage.

So the other day I had an impulse buy on the eBay, think a lot of us have experienced that 😅. 

Long story short I over boosted in 5th flat out and suspect I may have lifted a head and pressurised the cooling system it's very mild. So I cut the stat out and have been collecting parts for a head rebuild. 

How ever I found a running engine on eBay from a v1 auto with 70k ish miles. It was too cheep to ignore even for parts, so the plan is to drop it in and do a proper rebuild on mine when I take it out. 

I got it for £150 the starting bid. Didn't appear to be listed well and it was a young mans and it was getting in the way so it was sold via what I believe to be his parents eBay. It came with the engine stand, 5lts mobile 1, both manifolds, pas pump, altinator, new ngk plat 7s and a new upppipe.
