http://www.subaruservicingyorkshire.co.uk/ 5heffield 5ubaru 5ervice Ltd Unit 36 Clement Street Attercliffe Sheffield South Yorkshire S9 5DX Great mechanic who runs the garage, and if anyone has any problems with there Subaru or other car I highly suggest taking it there, great prices as well. if you want to check out the premise or speak with him or any of the people that are regulars, he also hosts a Subaru meet on the second Monday of the month, this is somewhere that is great to chill out and gain much needed knowledge on Subaru's, the community welcome you with open arms and you can even get a brew. If anyone needs further information, you can always message me, and I do not work at Sheffield Subaru Service before anyone asks, just a more than happy customer.

If you check the handbook for a Subaru it states only use 97 RON + as the ECU struggles to cope with normal unleaded and can cause nasty repair bills.

you could do but to me it sounds like it could possibly be the wrong one, however I may be incorrect. I did this to my RS turbo a few months back but had to get a silicone hose that had a neck with extended pipe so I could fit to it and that runs fine.

Well my day gets better and better. I decided to go over my graph from Scooby clinic yesterday and noticed I had a perfect spool curve, this got me thinking how the hell can my turbo be broken if its spooling correctly, which must mean I have an Air leak, while driving my suspicion was further pointed towards an air leak by my boost gauge, one minute its boosting to 10psi and the suddenly all the boost is gone yet my foot didn't move. When I got home I decided to fit a spare intercooler I had but while it was off check all the pipes on the turbo and surrounding areas, that's when I noticed a manual boost controller one pipe from the turbo but no other pipe connected which is obviously where the boost was going, now this was next to the turbo but on the frame, which begs to believe how can a company like Scooby clinic miss that I had a manual boost controller, so now basically im £480 lighter as they charged me for a map and apparently an hours labour and im now currently running 8psi of boost which is of course standard boost. An email shall be sent and then we shall see how great there customer service is.

Sky insurance are rip off merchants, different prices all the time from them and their customer service is lacking to say the least.

Yeah, the Bug was a very much love it or hate it look, personally I loved it however it took me a while to track the morrretes down and they wasn't cheap at that.

Hey, Welcome to the party. nice looking Scooby, do you have anymore pics and what mods/tweaks are planned if any ?.

As for insurance im with Admiral, ive found Cat 1 alarm, and tracker (even if not activated) help a great deal.

2nd time writing this as my dog managed to get ALT F4. Finally got myself in for a remap today as I need the car next week, my Ecu that I got off ebay was chucking fuel in but not making the right boost at all so I wanted to find out why. Upon arrival to the Scooby clinic my car decided to go into 3cyl, and with no explanation of why, the ECU was checked and so was the maf sensor and both where found to be running absolutely spot on. Fiddling with coil pack checking for a spark one of the lads pushed a wire on the injectors and suddenly its back to 4cyl and then back to 3, a quick check and it was found to be the wires of the injector plug coming free, a plug was quickly sourced and fitted. Everything else was given the once over and then the go ahead was given for it to be put on the DYNO :) . I then had to wait a further Hour for Pat to turn up, nut when he did more problems arose, My Ecu decided to commit suicide and no longer work at the time there was no explanation as to why, another was sourced and quickly fitted, but then Pat couldn't log into the ECU to map it, an error was traced to his OBD cable (reason for blowing the first) and away we went. A few runs in the boost seemed to peak just under 1 bar, around 9-10 psi, the wastegate pill was checked and then changed and away we went again, it was then found to be a shoddy turbo that wouldn't make anymore than 10 psi of boost however saying that it still made 232 bhp and 240 lb of torque, I have been advised to get a billet turbo as this engine is built for 450+ but im just on the look out for 320bhp so a TD05 will suit me just fine. If anyone has one let me know. A few vids of the day and a nice picture ignore the figure on the screen as this is for boost and HG and is the power at the wheels. As always Stay Tuned folks. <<<<<Clicky And here we have a few pictures of the car I swapped it with, my 2001 Bugeye with private plate running 276bhp.

What make is the Top mount as I may be interested.

The bloke gave me x2 of those as well, so that will be my work around for this weekend, just waiting on hearing a call back from Duncan with a date that he can map the car, as at the moment its slightly overfueling, so for the minute its a very pretty drive addition :) . He definitely was an enthusiast and im going to keep it looking exactly the same as they are becoming rare in a rust free and unmolested state. for the inside ive got one pillar gauge which is a pro stepper which matches the blue conversion and then at a later date will probably upgrade to the STI seats as these are showing slight signs of wear.

Hi mate, my Forge one did this a while back, I got some silicone lubricant or WD40 will do the trick and sprayed it on the dumpvalve area near to the butterfly (moving part) as it was sticking during operation. Gave my scoob a Turbo lag effect.

Hi mate, I had a decat and 2.5 inch from turbo back and on my 01 bugeye with 130k miles it made 280 and 276lb, as for the paddle its a love and hate relationship, my mates swore by theres so I fitted a 6 paddle to mine and it was horrible for daily start stop traffic, constant juddering a low speeds, great at quick changes however.

Hello all, after a year of ownership on my world rally Blue Subaru I decided I would look for a decent Classic, as with any insurance these days its all about owning the car first before you get a decent quote, my current Subaru was £850 a year Fully comp, not bad for 22year old I guess, my friend suggested a swapping site as it was free to put your car on there, dubious at first I decided what was the worst that could happed, 10 mins in and I had already been offered redtop corsa's and a z20let, which you can imagine I had held no hope for the vehicle that you see below. 2 days passed and numerous cars where been offered and money quoted but nothing really pipped my interest until I got offered an R33 GTS, the thought of rear wheel drive nearly took me to the dark side and just as I was about to click yes I was offered a stunning example of a Turbo 2000, which if I am honest seemed a little too good to be true. As all things your mates are the first to pick up on how good something looks and why he would rather swap than sell, I offered to meet the Gent half way so he could look at my Subaru and I could look at this one, everything checked out and tbh he was a cracking guy. Well the rest is history, I swapped my 276bhp Bugeye for the car you see below. lovely example of a Turbo 2000, outside is pretty standard other than the crystal pack that has been added and wheels. Engine however is nicely tuned. Closed deck block Ej205 heads Newage sti Rods HB twin dot pistons from early newage 2001's Cometic head Gaskets 1.4mm Graham Goode Racing timing belt New water pump New timing belt tensioner Full engine gasket kit Heat wrapped headers and up pipe Oil catch can with pcv delete Carbon Canister delete Uprated sti header cap Full turbo back 3" jasma jap exhaust Decatted Baileys dump valve PPP ecutek ecu fitted. Absolutely love it. Always wanted a classic but could never insure one for the right money until now. Done a full swap of the ECU for a PPP ecutek for the moment till I can get it custom live mapped for this set up, going to run it on the TD04 for a while while the new engine beds in and then eventually move up to a nice TD05 or VF34. let me know what you guys think. this is after 7 hours of painstaking cleaning. not sure if some of you already know the previous owner but he has done a cracking job of looking after it. Sorry for the Essay :).
