Holy MPG Batman!!
It all about the ethanol content and loads of this but bp and shell make the fuel to a certain grade for their pumps whereas asda have no idea what's in the fuel they're selling you . Do you not remember a few years ago asda had a bad batch with a weird additive in that ruined everyone's lambas and cats p> Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

I think the problem with supermarket fuel is consistency as its bought on price , whereas if you buy v power or bp you know it should be the same every time Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

I'm reading the thread on the Gtr forum now lol it's basically full of uncertainty but apparently shell still officially state it's 99 Ron mainly just speculation on there tbh http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/399578-shell-v-power-not-99-octane.html#/topics/399578?_k=bakviz Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Nope defiantly nitro + I'm sure I read a similar thread and they came to the conclusion it was no longer 99 , also shell don't advertise it as 99 anymore and on their website it says nothing of the octane rating , not that it really matters great fuel non the less Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

I assumed it was common knowledge , have you not realised it hasn't got 99 in the name or anywhere on the pump anymore I believe it's closer to 98 now Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

What brand of coils would you say where most resistant to corrosion? I will be looking to get a set for the hatch soon but I would rather spend the extra now knowing they're going to last Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Was it full till it clicks ?? I recon It must just be your dial freaking out I know Scoobys are in now way frugal but you should return an average of atleast 25 mpg with some spirited driving I return 33ish and even more on a run and I've got 650cc injectors and a bigger turbo. although in stock trim a quarter of a tank in 40 odd miles is defiantly doable if doing very spirited driving because at WOT it will drink a lot and I mean a hideous amount, and cold starts with high idol will use a lot trying to warm the cats. My recommendation would be, if it does it again go strait back to the pet station and brim it till it clicks again, then you know for sure how much fuel you have used.

wheel issue on 08 wrx
Are you lowered ? Also you are defiantly clearing the breaks ? Are you running spacers ? Also is it a steady clonk when going strait is it when turning ? Does it get quicker wen turning. Could be all those things also could be drive shafts or wheel bearings Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Secondary air pump fault
Best advice is remove the whole egr system and air pump it's just a stupid design . Mine is in a box in my garage . Also I'm unsure if this has already been mentioned but there is a major recall coming in on air pump because they catch fire [emoji15] Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Holy MPG Batman!!
I filled it from empty mate. 55L roughly in it. That's similar to what I'm thinking (hoping) has happened though. Just dropped 1/4 tank quickly and will now slow down to a normal rate. Haven't hit full boost loads in it yet as I'm just trying to learn the car at the moment. Oh that's random I've never had that happen from a full tank Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Induction Kit
I'm going for the mishimoto one for me comes with air box if you want and reasonably priced .. I would avoid the arch / wing mounted ones just because of road dirt and water . And a remap is a must stair after if you install one , I literally wouldn't drive it without a map Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Holy MPG Batman!!
Aye I meant like does anyone run it? Think there's something wrong on my end. Used just under a 1/4 of a tank going 35miles...that works out to around 9mpg roughly?! Surely something's wrong there...only put my foot down twice in that time too! I could understand 15mpg but 9! [emoji33] Wife's gunna kill me haha Sometimes my fuel gage spaks out if only topping up a lil bit , then if you boot it sometimes goes right down to where it was before. Go chuck another £15-£20 in for peace of mind and it shoots right over half way I always try top up over half a tank now for this reason Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Do they all need an engine rebuild before 100k?
I would say it would be you bearings that will go first even if well maintained at about 100k they're getting towards the end of their usable life if the car has had spirited use , mainly because of the design of the flat engine the bearings are slimmer that a conventional strait engine , thus meaning they wear out quicker but the life can be prolonged with 3k or sorter services and proper warm up procedure, but I would be cautious buying a scoob with over 100k or at least be prepared to spend some cash on it.
