What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Thought I'd clean the underside of the scoob with the new k4 karcher [emoji41] Was quite impressed with it right up to the point it blew the paint off the bubble on my rear arch [emoji35] Decided to clean the inner rear arch lip and spray some wd in it ..... Only to pull the rear bumper mounting point off in my hand [emoji33][emoji15][emoji19] Guess it's a re shell next for me then [emoji4] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

New member saying Hi
I left my ps pump attached to the car when I fitted my engine , so I can't advise you on any difficulties I'm afraid . as far as I'm aware , the only thing that's a pig to bleed on a scoob is the coolant . If you go for the second hand option bear in mind v1 and v2 have a different shape ps pump to the rest of the classics [emoji6] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Silver scoobs show me your wheels
I'd have chose lighter wheels for mine (if I'd had a choice) as dark tend to get a bit "lost " in the dark arches imo . I Surpose it depends on how much you want the wheels to stand out and personal preference. At the end of the day if you like em it's the right choice [emoji6] I'm sure you'll get a few more pics of silver scoobs with un stock wheels, cos there's a few on here Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

New member saying Hi
Hi and welcome to soc 4pots , braided lines and mabye a brake stopper (stops the bulk head flexing) As for the leak quite a common fault unfortunately . Early classic's suffer the most . Cheapest option is a good second hand one . Best option I know of is a newage reservoir with a relocation kit Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Silver scoobs show me your wheels
Unsure of the exact colour tbo I don't even know what type of rotas they are [emoji15][emoji5] Their probably more of a graphite (dark grey metalic) Slightly better pic of the wheels but still doesn't show the colour to well Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Turbo upgrade
Sti "pinks" 550cc injectors would be the next size up Tdo6 20g would be more suited to a engine bigger than a 2ltr as it probably wouldn't come on boost till 5.5 k Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

what da hell happen here?
I zoomed in on the last pic and there's a few scratch lines which look like there under the paint , has it been filled with body filler ? What are the buttons or plugs made from ? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

a few pics of my project so far
I have thought about lagging all the pipework in the bay (done some of my brvs pipework), but didn't want to contend with exhaust heat wrap (itch'iest stuff known to man ) every time I Popped the bonnet [emoji5] So thanks for the link as I hadn't seen the sleeving before [emoji106] won't be doing much to the car for a bit [emoji19] as I'm at a bit of a crossroads as what to spend my little spare time and money on. Remap (again lol)? Buying the v1 full apexi ecu set up and tidying up the shell before fitting my mechanicals ? making and painting a v1 reverse inlet manifold and alternator relocation kit ? Or wait a while untill I can afford a bigger turbo and a re map? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

a few pics of my project so far
Like most people that fit a bell mouth de cat, I had removed the turbo hotside heatshield . the fmic pipework passes over the turbo exhaust housing and although inlet temps are good after the fmic core the turbo outlet pipe was getting very hot . So I've since fitted a cheap (£45) turbo blanket Although the pipework's still warm it's now much cooler [emoji4] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Resonator delete pip
Unsure about the fozzies but ,I did cut out the resonator on my classic . It was a sort of s bend that branches off under the d/s wing from back of air box to the vent above the d/s headlight . I think it's supposed to "tumble" the intake air to give a better mixture With the petrol . Most people remove the s bend to let the airbox breath freely and draw cold air from under the inner wing .

Black Intercoolers
V1 & v2 (slanty type) are as my brvs v1 sti had one fitted and Here's my old v3/v4 factory sti tmic And a friend's wrx bug eye had a black tmic and he upgraded to a factory silver sti one . will admit I'm not 100% sure about the v5 / v6 sti one's being silver but, the v5/v6 uk and wrx one's I've seen have been black , so I assumed the sti ones were silver as well like the other ones I've came across . Back to the op I still thought it was a good vid but ,won't be spraying my shiny hdi fmic untill I see some rr results with proven power gains Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Black Intercoolers
All classic uk turbo and wrx intercoolers are black whereas the sti ones (which flow and cool better) are silver [emoji6]

Black Intercoolers
I saw this on fb as well as the results seemed conclusive but , im still sceptical though as there wasn't any heat near the core or pipework nor was there any simulation of weather conditions and outside temps . As under normal conditions the rad / engine would emit heat behind the core and warm air or rain would affect average intake temps .imo a coat of paint might affect the conducting of heat in different conditions . Would love to see some back to back tests on a rolling road with both cores on the same car , as I'd prefer to paint my fmic for added stealth [emoji6]

grey/yellow injectors
Any idea what phase (or year ) the yellows came from ? As if the yellows aren't from the same phase fuel rail set up you'll need some "phase adapters" If the turbo inlet pipe runs under the inlet it will be phase 1.5 If your turbo inlet pipe runs over it will be phase 1 . Google "carl davey phase adapters " and there's a section on inlet/fuel rail phase identification [emoji6] Also the car won't run well due to over fuelling and will need a remap asap if you change the colour /size of the injectors . I'd also do a oil change once up and running as you've probably thinned the oil with "bore wash" petrol in the sump . I can't tell you what phase the yellows are in the pic im afraid , due to being unsure of the exact difference between the types of phases on the injectors other than length Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

ej20 water jacket crank case bolts
The bolt grips in petes link fit onto a normal socket set extension bar . Which will allow you to reach it think a set to suit the 12mm or 14 mm(can't remember the excat size of hand ) block bolts is about £25 on ebay [emoji6] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

V3 painted inlet,arb,17"allys and other classic bits
Once we (eventually lol) start braking his v1 I'll get a list , prices and a few pics sorted . As for the seats there out of a 2011 sti and are all black with red sti emblems but , will definitely need them in situ for any test drives for engine and 6 speed . Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
far as im aware if you contact your local subaru main steeler and if your model/reg applies all they do is get it on the ramps , hit the wishbones with a dot punch in the affected area and if it fails they replace them for free [emoji6]Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
