  1. PIAA never heard of them are they good
  2. So you can slap a turbo on and the engine has no stress. Hmm interesting.
  3. OEM or quality parts only. Stay away from cheap ebay replacement parts if copies.
  4. Set of new boots to go with the extra go if they are needed. Set of new boots always feels great after run in.
  5. I like the 1st gen Leon Coupe. Kei Drift Truck
  6. I am sorry for you. I have 1k worth of damage now on my car that all occurred while it was parked. I swear the dustbin lorry did the last one. It got to the point I have lost interest in keeping the car looking nice. It has been hit 4 times while stationary.
  7. Oh yeah it is a na. Doh. I had a classic sport. Most reliable car I ever owned. Good luck again
  8. Drain it. Refill from turbo hose at the high filler tank. Fill it really slowly. So easy get trapped air in these. If it still does the same it does sound like HG otherwise. I hope it the coolant mix. Also do you have rad cap and fill tank cap on the right way round. Rad cap has no wings if stock cap. Rad cap is a one way valve, filler tank is 2 way valve and different pressure ratings. Got those wrong will cause it to overheat Check for any leaks too as minor ones will cause it to run hot too. Good luck
  9. I second that. Looks spot on to me. BTW the temp gauge is so slow it not worth relying on. Get OBD dongle and you will see what I mean.
  10. Man I so wish this guy lived near me. I throw money at him to maintain my car.
  11. Advertised and sold are two different things. When I bought my car the dealer would not budge at first. 2 weeks later he said he already sold it but the guys finance fell through. Well you never sold it. In the end I got him to come down £500 and then he cannot count and I walked away with an extra £100, lol. Paying cash can be really useful
  12. Sorry to hear about HG, good luck. Out of interest is it modded at all?
  13. I have heard that too about you 😉
  14. As above in general if your opening the motor you may as well do the rest. Dreaded 2.5 HGs
  15. I had that on an NA Classic Impreza. Turned out the cat had collapsed inside the exhaust.
  16. Sal. As soon as I read the title I thought I would not be buying a car of this guy. Then it gets worse. No care and attention to detail. I would not call that number
  17. The problem is money is involved. Even the better ones with good reps you can find horror stories on if you dig hard enough.
  18. @Tidgy totally agree In US they do all sorts of promotions for their loyal customers and basically nothing here. They did Isle of Man and Goodwood but I suppose they are international level events. They did win the BTCC in the Levorg but I have probably only ever seen one on the road. Bring back the wagon. Also VW gate helped their sales no end in the US. Any dealers I have come across in the UK are clueless which again as you said Subaru do seem to destroy any market they may have in UK. It seems to me they wanted to get away from the rally thug label for some reason but promote in US. Seems all very strange to me.
  19. Try Scoobyworld Leicester they did my Cambelt last time. 300 ish if I recall plus some other bits.
  20. Yep been there done that. Left these on which eventually drained the battery when I had my first Scooby.
  21. I agree with Paul the stuff you want doing can be done easily in the street, why pay someone to rip you off. Stay away from main dealers in Northampton they are clueless. Last time I paid for oil change was while car was in body shop. £100 wow, last time that is goner happen.
  22. I am interested in this too for my Hawkeye. I know the plastic OEM ones can break and flex when in use. The heavy duty ones do not look any beefier than the silver ones. Hmm good question.
  23. Wow. Just read all this. You have got him surely if the engine turns out to not be what you were sold. You have the advert and spec if it does not match then any court should side with you. You would like to think anyway. I wish you the best of luck.
