Lower control arm bushes need replacing
What bushes, front or rear on your front control arm? very rare for both go at the same time. If its both front & rear bushes then u may as well get new arms, as you get 2 new arms(obviously LoL), 4 new bushes & 2 new ball joints. They are easy to change over on a driveway. If it's just one bush then I'd replace just the bush. bushs can be pushed out with a suitably sized socket & a large vice. 👍🏻

Forester sf body mods advice ?
Hiya PeteB. Pic below of where I got mine from. Ring darren up & ask if he can do a set like how Iv done mine. he might do a revised version to look like mine using his molds as a base to work from I did forget to mention that cos I'm running bugeye estate peddlers sports Ryder suspension that the wheels were sitting on top of the rear arches so I have to cut them up about 2inches which was quite difficult to weld back up & look like nothing's been done. the same on the front arches, but I cut them a bit lower so I could bend a new lip around to restrengthen it, so the wing wasn't floppy. What sideskirts u got cos I'm after a set if u wanna sell em let me know 👍🏻

WRX STI import mods options
You can't go wrong with a h&s system really, they are good quality hand built items. An option is to ring h& Scott directly, book your car in for a custom fitment to your requirements, like aftermarket cat converters for MoT. 450hp wheel or fly? Turbo dependant, therefore you would have to account for the new downpipe connecting to a future turbo....etc etc. It's a mine field. Set your self a clear path & stick with it. Nice car by the way.

How critical TIME is on a timing belt?
As Jay762 said. But id do all the sprockets/pulleys n bolts at the same time. Probably the cover bolts if they are looking in poor condition as well. With the water pump, I would advise that if your changing it then you may as well get the cast impeller version. This vastly improves the flow(therefore runs cooler easier), because of no tiny bubbles/cavitation created. Im running respectable hp & I have a standard radiator fitted & because of the cast impeller(I presume) it does not over heat at all.

Wheel spacers
LoL. youll av to get your tape measure out I'm afraid, to measure the gap u have so u can then determine the spacer size for the gap u want it to be. Spacers thinner than 15mm thick will require longer aftermarket studs. Spacers that are 15mm thick or over have their own studs built in, come with nuts to put on the oem studs that, if thinner than 25mm will need cutting shorter. & if you do decide to get spacers then make sure that they are hub centric ones.

Cheers mate. I got the arches from Darren at ABW. Don't be fooled though.....the arches arrived and out of the box they were a no go. They were twisted & did not fit correctly, the rears were 2 piece design that also did not line up. The fronts were 1 piece and was different height. I basically ordered a load of fibreglass & black resin from eBay & then proceeded to chop them up. I widened them a further 10mm, cut the rears into 3 piece & fronts into 2 piece. It took me about 9months of !Removed!'in around & getting covered in dust to look like that ! im thinking of making molds up but I don't wanna ruin my arches in the process. LoL.

Upgrading Brakes on an Impreza GX
Hold on a minute.... we are talking about 4-pots replacing the oem fronts AND 2-pots replacing the oem rears? or on the rear, have you got slightly larger 1-pots replacing the smaller 1-pots(pads different shape & size) ? if your using 2-pots to replace the oem 1-pots, then yes, 1-pot to 2-pot brackets are needed. If your swapping larger 1-pots to replace smaller 1-pots I don't think it needs any brackets, just needs the correct sized discs.but not really worth swapping.

Fuel Pump Housing Help
What's different about them, because the fuel tanks are all the same. Or so I thought.🤔 Everything lists 92 - 00 for fuel stuff.

Upgrading Brakes on an Impreza GX
Hi, yes front 4 pots bolt straight on with correct discs to you hubs. Get the front disc backing plates from I.c.p with the new backing plate bolts calliper bolts & yes the plates swap straight on, usually your snap a rusty old bolt that holds the backing plates on so be prepared to drill out & retap. LoL. The rear 2 pots will need the brackets& spacers kit. Usually found on eBay. For about £30 if I remember correctly.
