HI All

I have just had my 2013 Forester serviced and been informed my lower Control arm bushes need replacing anyone got an idea of price to have these replaced?

Thanks all

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. 👍🏻

Hey guys, I made a real **** video explaining how i fixed this problem

https://youtu.be/YlQ3jTIFJPE

Long story short, if you pull it apart, there is a puller that is broken and so it cant pull the sled that lowers the corner of the moonroof. make a hole, put a paperclip piece in it, glue it, and it fixed it for me...

👍🏻

That sounds about right to me. 

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 👍🏻

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.

Not worth the hassle in my opinion, but if your set on keeping your current car I’d go the easiest and cheapest route.

Buy a crash salvage/MOT failure/rotten shell turbo and swap everything over. Then you know you have everything to “make it work” as it were.

It sounds daunting but it’s far from it, Subarus are like Lego, they pretty much swap over from model to model. Basic tools are required for the majority of the work, the only thing I would say you would need is an engine hoist which you can barrow or hire.

+1 on the Lego 👍🏻

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. 

LoL

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.

Glad u got it sorted. 

For future reference...., the gc8 subframes fit SF5's.  ICP has em for about £380 I think from memory 🤔

Hi, what do u need to know?

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. 

What's different about them, because the fuel tanks are all the same. Or so I thought.🤔

Everything lists 92 - 00 for fuel stuff. 

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. 

Wow. That looks like Spider-Man's steering wheel. 😬

So I'm needing a new steering wheel for an '05 wrx.  A wrx wheel is like £80,  literally the same wheel but from an sti so it has sti instead of the subaru logo £180?!  Like is this, is this a thing?  Surely people wouldn't pay all that for a different airbag 😂😂

Surely that's like saying' I just bought primark jeans for £7.00, so why would anyone buy Levi's for £100.00 ?

Yeah. Not finished yet though. Ran out of dyno time. 

Its going back for its final 'fine tuning' soon. 

It a cdb 2.1 stroker bc272's with a GTX3076R gen2. 

Yeah.  I did not manage to snap a picture of the 615 run though. But this is a better view of the top half without the white info window in the way...

LoL 

It looks clean. 

u got a good 5 months to plan all the mods then!......👍🏻

What do ya think of the curve it makes ?

I had same issue years ago, but it was the n/s front bearing that kept on failing. But mine only did about 50miles.  

After the second 50mile failure I got my money back from e.c.p. 

I bought from i.c.p & it's still on there now years later.  

Just ring up luke at import. He'll sort u out😉
