  1. Cat back , pannel filter and a remap would be my choice [emoji6]
  2. I thought it might be the same pipework ect I had to cut a lot of the back of the bumper out to get it to fit over the core . My first attempt looked like swarez had nibbled his way through it [emoji55]
  3. No rick I sold my v3 esl for £250 a while back . Clive attowe is in norfolk he has his own dyno cell and has been mapping for decades and won a few competitions in his time . http://www.enginetuning.net/ Mainly tweeks oil burners with good results for bread n butter now . he mapped my apexi recently and my brvs original v1sti set up (with good results)
  4. Clive attowe would be worth a look in Norwich matt [emoji6]
  5. Best of luck with the fmic fitting fella Is there more room behind the bumper on the foz Rick ? Cos it took me about 3hrs with a dremmel just to cut the back out of the bumper out on my classic [emoji53] Nice to meet you today stu [emoji106] Sorry the "parts store" looked more like a "shed load of !Removed!"[emoji5] As it's a rather untidy tardis atm cos most of the parts are in random boxes stacked high due to a busy autumn offensive on my scoob[emoji6] I guess you're steering wheel was on straight and you're air bag didn't go off at the first corner you come to then .... Unless they've got wifi in A&E [emoji39]
  6. If the cars insured you can drive it to a mot station with out road tax or mot as long as it's booked in for the mot (although I don't think they like you to travel to far to the mot testing station) Once it's passed the mot you'll have to buy the road tax asap to avoid being fined for not having road tax .Although when you see the state of disrepair suffolk roads are in you'll wonder where our road tax money goes I think There's quite a few decat friendly mot stations about which will allow your scoob to pass as long as it's roadworthy and not got excessively high emissions on idle , but no one's likely to admit it on a public forum [emoji6]
  7. Hi n welcome to soc nice original looking uk classic you've got there fella [emoji106] I used to have one of those but I think the only thing that remains of my original uk is the plastic bezel around the centre console now [emoji5]
  8. The Stock cooler with a mahle oil filter doesn't stick out past the headers or sump but it sounds like you're not after a stock application . I have seen a impreza with a oil filter relocation kit (somwhere on the net). But can't think where unfortunately . I'm not keen on the sandwich plate design myself so fitted my oil temp sensor in the bung over cylinder number 3 but that was also because thats the hottest cylinder . I did do some research into oil coolers and decided I wouldn't need one unless I did regular track days as my average oil running temp is 95°
  9. I've always assumed that they are bungs for access for internal machine work but I've never taken a oil pump appart tbh . I think most aftermarket subaru specific oil coolers come with a "sandwich plate" that replaces the factory oil cooler (the bit the oil filter screws to) which has feeds to the bigger front mounted oil cooler.
  10. Wondered if you'd sold up, bud [emoji53] Glad to hear you've stuck with the scoob and been quite busy too by the look of things [emoji106]
  11. I just don't like people who swerve from lane to lane abruptly without indicating . Not using slip lanes properly and driving to slow to merge with the traffic , or darting across the chevrons too early and cutting eveyone else up on the carriageway they're joining . They Seem to have a Blatant disregard for anyone else on the road , dunno about all beemers and audi driver's but I quite like the vag/audi cars and old school beemers [emoji41] . Just the spiky haired 330 yobs and middle aged business men in their torque'y derv company cars tailgating you whilst they're having a shave [emoji36] Should have put this on the rant thread [emoji39]
  12. Well I've plastered my last wall till next year and home by midday [emoji41] So Thought I'd take the scoob out for a spin before the mrs gets home with a big list of "things to do"[emoji22] once warmed up I headed for the carriage way only to be cut up by a 330 beemer swerving in front of me twice within half a mile without indicating [emoji36] [emoji34] [emoji35] Pulled into the shell garage to see mr **** at the opposite pump . "Indicators a optional extra on that beemer ?" I said to him . "Ain't my fault if that old scoob can't keep up " he says with the passenger smiling . "Ain't my fault you got your !Removed! licence outta a Christmas cracker you *****" I replied So sat there idling untill he was ready to pull out of the petrol station behind me, let him swerve out into the outside lane (no indication again) and soon as he and his smiling passenger was along side me .... Gave them the 1 finger salute and buried my foot into the carpet and left him for dust sitting in the outside lane . the scoob pulled really hard and I made mincemeat of the beemer but I assumed it was the cold air . I checked the apexi hand controller peak readouts when I got back . 1.36 bar of boost [emoji12] no wonder it felt quick [emoji1] it's only been set at 1.1 bar (330hp) so guess I've got to find out why she's overboosting even though I quite enjoyed the extra 0.2 bar [emoji5]
  13. With my old autowatch alarm system .... Valet ment the hidden switch didn't have to be pressed , you just have to press the fob to turn the alarm off (no point having a hidden switch if you have to tell everyone where it is) Passive ,was sensors off but hidden switch still had to be pressed in order to start the car . Maybe try each setting sitting in the car and see if it goes off with movement to be 100% sure just in case makes and models differ
  14. Shame you've not got a preface interior cos you could've had the plastics/dash outta the uk to paint Dunno if the other plastics ( A and B post kick pannels ect ...) are the same but if you can be bothered to come down and take em off you can have em [emoji6]
  15. It looked like a light stain with a few bubbles I just gave it a light poke with the blunt end of a spanner . Even though I regularly jet wash under the arches It's a common spot on classics and some newage. Mud builds up between the bodywork and the top of the rear strutt , traps water and the rot sets in . I'm still picking the "bones" off the uk swopping trim bits , removing spare parts . Spring time I'll have a good sort out box up what I'm keeping , sell what im not and scrap the rest . To clear space and kick start the fund for next year's "tweeks" [emoji39]
  16. V3 looks a bit sorry for itself in the first pic . But I poked the top of the rear strutt with the ring end of my spoiler swapping spanner and the result is in the second pic[emoji33] Reshell'd just in time methinks [emoji6]
  17. Well I finished work early today so decided to switch spoilers as the aftermarket spoiler on the sti needs a coat of paint and it obscured the rear view mirror to much . euro look anyone ?
  18. In build threads here's a link http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3094-a-few-pics-of-my-project-so-far Dunno if it will work lol
  19. Heads have to come off to get to the block bolts to split it and the pistons have to be removed before the block can be split . Have a look at my build thread it's a classic but there's a few pics and links to a pdf manual [emoji6]
  20. Hi and welcome , glad you're enjoying the scoob [emoji106] I've got a few mates into their vag stuff and although they like the look of my flat 4 they recon it should be in the back [emoji39]
  21. The vf is a roller bearing core turbo so costs more to manufacture and spools quicker . The tdo5 16g is journal core so spools up slightly slower but holds boost a bit better higher in the rev range (doesn't tail off as much) genuine tdo5 16g are getting on a bit but are a bit stronger and cheaper to rebuild due to not having a roller core . I've settled for a tdo5 for now (until I can afford a 400hp ish turbo) as they're cheap and with supporting mods will just about break the 350 hp mark. Don't think my next turbo will be a td series though as I'd need a 20g to get close to 400hp .Then even with a "trick" upipe would be far to laggy on my 2ltr for a road car .
  22. I've got duncans mobile number if you need it , have you tried bob rawl he's quite respected too
  23. Unsure about what type of valve you need but the engine in the first pic is a v1/v2 with a phase 1 inlet set up . So ask the seller if it's compatible
