Hi n welcome to soc joe Have you tried a self ecu code check ? http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/2366-manually-reading-ecu-codes/ although it does sound like either ... Idle control valve Maff air leak Or a misfire A code check might pin point the problem or at least narrow it down [emoji6]

I think you can get a complete rear quarter imported, quite expensive though [emoji53] I've seen a few people ask and other than fabricating new ones from scratch , I have read that a section from the front wings can be used as they're the same profile as the rear arch . But I've never offered a wing up to my classic arches so am not speaking from experience. I just cheated and used a clean jdm shell to reshell my uk classic [emoji55]

Clutch Bleed Gone Wrong
savage bulldogs replied to s_tubb23's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Used the same method to blead mine when i switched clutch slave cylinder and hydraulic pipe a couple of months ago . I did have the blead pipe submerged in a jar of fluid though . Have you put the return spring back on that attaches to the top of the fork ? -
Calishere's USDM 08 Sti 700+bhp flat mount turbo build !
savage bulldogs replied to Calishere's topic in Subaru Build Threads
There's a bit of a shortage of 4wd rolling roads in Suffolk so I normally use clive attowes in norfolk . http://www.enginetuning.net/ Once you've got passed the lack of cat /mot scenario it might be worth running it on the dyno at clives just to make sure it's running right with the change of fuel . I have heard of cob tuning but don't know anything about it I'm afraid and I'm unsure if attowe deals in it . If the dyno shows a afr problem could you show your tuner the data would he be able to " tweek" the map over the Internet? -
Calishere's USDM 08 Sti 700+bhp flat mount turbo build !

Sorry to hear about the problems at the beginning, but at least the end results look well worth it (nice work) [emoji106] -
a few pics of my project so far
savage bulldogs replied to savage bulldogs's topic in Subaru Build Threads
Yeah I get the same scenario with the silence followed with the "think of the fuel " moan lol Haven't done anything to the scoob as it's far too cold n wet out there for my liking . I have been toying with the idea of making it look a bit more standard on the outside and converting it back to preface . I've just got two binders off my brv which are full of history for the 20yr old wrx sti .... Shame most of it's in Japanese [emoji15] But at least there's a few pics to go by [emoji6] -
Mate of mine had a "poo brown " nova with beige seats and gaffa tape over the rust on the bottom of the doors [emoji4] Did have 2ltr xe lump (designed by cosworth) running 4 bike carbs and about 180 hp [emoji33] proppa sleeper[emoji2]

perrin oil separator tank
savage bulldogs replied to cheech's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
I've heard nothing but good feed back about the quality from all perrin stuff (although they aren't cheap ) I'm just running a cheap catch can as I couldn't be arsed to fit a return to sump used with a oil separator . So just I'll just have to drain it off and keep a eye on the oil level instead -
My former WRX STi
savage bulldogs replied to TheClayClothCompany's topic in Subaru Gallery and Showroom
Lovely looking preface classic [emoji106] What version rear spoiler is that bud ? As I want one that doesn't obscure the view of the upset faces I overtake behind me, quite as much as the replica ironing board I've got on my v1 sti atm -
Well the road angel is "out of subscription" but still warns you about static cameras , accident black spots and possible mobile speed gun locations. As well as displaying direction(north , south ect) and speed . I've got a lot of things to concentrate on other than just driving ,so the verbal warnings were useful but slightly annoying (bit like the wife sat next to me) I'll leave it plugged in for now and see how I get on Not the best pic but you can get the jist

The super pro droplinks will be with you Thursday at the latest stants [emoji6]

I know type r's are a hollow victory in a 300hp classic but I quite like scalping the new ones .

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
savage bulldogs replied to stants's topic in General Subaru Chat
Yeah they have to have sharp brakes ...... sharper the better for tailgating [emoji6] -
What have you done to your Subaru today ?
savage bulldogs replied to stants's topic in General Subaru Chat
Sound's like a actuator/wastegate fault , rattling and not spooling . Don't forget to stick your arm out of the window when turning right in the audi .... As we all know that they don't have indicators fitted as standard [emoji4] -
No problem fella [emoji106] It will stay in the shed with the other half a scoob, well untill I can be bothered to sort through it all [emoji5] I struggled to find a de cat when I was looking for one earlier this year and nearly ended up buying a new japspeed one .

Is that a dead white impreza shell he's drifting around in the storm drain bit ?[emoji53] Will admit it Does seem a shame to cut a classic mustang shell to bits and it wasn't quite as much of a technical course as some of his other vids . But you gotta admire his driving skills all the same [emoji16] [emoji12] [emoji106]

Got a sports cat with divorced wastegate in the shed think it's 3" to 2.75" at the cat back end . For £120 + pp if it's any good to you matt

15 speedline safari wheels?!?
savage bulldogs replied to Helmettoes's topic in Subaru Tyres / Wheels & Suspension
Think I saw a set of those 15's on a preface classic sport wagon today . But as matt said I doubt 15's would clear 4 pots although I think some 16's will with the right offset -
Got this on my xmas list for the ps4 as I've had far cry 2 and 3 (360 format) and enjoyed them both . Apparently I can play co op with someone else who has it through the ps4 share system but I've still got bf4, cod (advanced pogo) and destiny to keep me occupied for the time being

Will you run spacers or wide rims to fill the arches ? I've always fancied a wide body classic but don't want to hack the clean rear arches of the current shell

a few pics of my project so far
savage bulldogs replied to savage bulldogs's topic in Subaru Build Threads
If the wife's in the car I get plenty of whining when I hit anything over about 0.8 bar anyways [emoji39] As for nos I just need to do a bit more research , cos if I've got to buy a bigger turbo and injectors to break the 400hp barrier (with the nos installed) there's not much point . -
I've got a bug momo wheel for sale it's in fairly good nick was told it was off a sti (red stitching)

Glad you Brought it up stu[emoji106] cos I don't know whether he's got the same scenario as my old uk so wouldn't have wanted to advise someone to do something unessary or wrong give me a shout once you've got one and I'll gladly convert it for you bud ,just give it a bit of a clean first . Cos I don't like working on dirty scooby scraps [emoji4]

I saw that thread the first time it cropped up stu [emoji106] and like most oil related threads I didn't comment as it's normally a can of worms lol But it bring up a valid point that synthetic oils don't tend to leave sludge in the oil ways as much as mineral oils .so with regular changes with synthetic oil you shouldn't need to flush it [emoji6] My uk turbo was on 90k and it had heavy piston slap when cold running10w 40 oil . So I flushed it and replaced the oil with 10w 50 and then added some slick 50 , yes I know lots of people hate this stuff too but it sounded like a transit when cold [emoji16] it took longer to warm up (less friction I assumed) and was slightly quieter when cold, I ran it for another 2yrs at 270hp using the same grade oil changed at 5k intervals . I now prefer 10w 50 millers nano drive as it suits my forged build clearances better Mabey if it's not broken don't fix it and just stick with just a refresh of the same grade of oil your currently running .especially if you haven't got any piston slap or hydraulic lifter noise on cold start up
