Ill get back in one somehow dont care how long it takes 😂

Ive been away from subaru for a while now I seriously miss the experience. But my god the prices have moved north a bit. Need to stick to the old octavia for a while yet unless I can find one with a gubbed engine or something. Sad times lol

It was when the wrx went to 2.5 engine that the pre cat in uppipe was was removed. My bugeyes upipe never destroyed itself and it was driven like it had rabies your call with what to do. The sti versions were catless uppipes

Prodrive kit for newage wrx changes the secondary cat for a sports cat think you then get a cat back ecu tinkered and a silicone Y pipe under the intercooler. The secondary cat is directly after the down pipe. Did you get a certificate as proof? The upipe is probably worth doing if your keeping long term cause it will be much cheaper than the damage it would cause if it gives up saying that I had 2 wrx’s with it in place go over 100k miles without breaking suppose depends on how you drive it and how the car runs.

My power graph is pretty flat at the moment 🤣

Ive just decided to sell it ill really miss it but right now I just dont have the time or money to look into repairing. Start saving for a new adventure possible in a sti 😉

Alright im in scotland aswell where are ye? Tbh a cold air intake by its self is abit pointless best to just put better panel filter in unless your doing more mods/ remap

Have a look at your maf sensor might be dirty

Look into that seal aswell think its rear main seal or something worth getting that out the way at same time

I dont think it needs to come out but ive heard its easier with the engine out. Im not certain to be honest guess it depends who does the work. Why dont you contact a few subaru specialists and ask for quotes remember too alot of guys dont like fitting parts that you supply, im just trying to give you a ball park figure 👍 My car had clutch done not long before I bought it, its one of the few problems I dont have with mine 🤣😂

Also seen this on jdm solutions might be away now but says brand new and comes with flywheel. Stage 2 though bit if you plan to mod might be an option

Hey man ive had a search for you if you go to the website in the pic you will see they say you either need your flywheel skimmed or replaced at the same time. You would need to obviously factor in labour aswell possibly talking about £800+. Bear in mind there are other options out there this pic is just an example could try import car parts or other scooby parts specialists too

Aw god yeah thats not a great look 😂 maybe they changed the wheel in 05 mines is 04 and it has the momo wheel

Shouldnt your wrx have a momo steering wheel ?

Yeah I think as savage said it was alot to do with it being ice cold when tested
