I'd have to double check in my parts boxes as I can't remember if the spare clutch slave I've got is a five or six speed one. Dunno what they sell for tbo bud If it's a 5 speed one and your stuck (cos I like to keep a few spares ) tenner + post ? As for changing the clutch slave and master cylinder at the same time .. I wouldn't think so as they run off separate reservoirs and are used for different tasks during driving . Wouldn't hurt to refresh the brake fluid and upgrade any lines to braided (if not done recently) Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

They look allwhite johhny[emoji39] nice work [emoji106] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I got my advice on handbrake shoe compatability and conversion brackets to fit newage wrx 160 rear 2 pots to my 160 classic rear hubs from as performance , but give him a call or drop him a email (cos his websites pretty useless ) http://asperformance.com/contact/ Wouldn't have thought you'd need the 2 pot brackets as I think they fit directly to the classic 180 set up. If he can't help you with the spline count try cross referencing the hub/shaft/c.v part numbers or email luke at importcarparts Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

the pipework's still warm but not scalding. Think I've got a 5 speed slave cylinder amongst my scooby scraps if you're stuck finding one fella Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Well it was a bit awkward to fit due to the scooby set up but , not because of the actual blanket . It seems to be good quality and after a spirited drive the turbo outlet fmic pipe is much cooler , as I can keep my hand on it now (rather than scalding myself on it ) My intake temps were much better since fitting the hdi fmic but now the air temp going into the cooler should be lower I'd imagine the intake temps into the throttle body will be better still [emoji6] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Big fan of the revolutions on a classic and rota grids on a newage myself I'm not to keen on multi spoke rims tbo ,but that's only personal preference. I like a simple design if their dark coloured . As for colour I quite like the look of this But I've had white wheels before and their a proppa pita to keep clean Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

The injectors might well be big enough but the oe fueling map won't be set up for the extra air flow created by the decat and bigger turbo . Although the standard ecu will learn and make minor changes to the map you won't get the full benefit from the upgrades and might run lean until the fueling and timing has been tweeked. If you haven't got the £'s for a remap straight away I'd suggest to get it on a dyno to make sure it's not det'ing . As a £50 dyno run is a lot cheaper than a engine rebuild .

Looking mighty close now tlag [emoji4] When are you looking at getting her fired up fella? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Had a failed attempt at fitting my turbo blanket [emoji19] which resulted in me being covered in itchy downpipe heat wrap [emoji39] It's not gonna be a 5 minute fit due to the fmic pipework being in the way . As for lowering fozies with wrx springs I think they make the back end sit a bit lower due to the extra weight ,but they do spacers to even up the ride height .[emoji6] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hmmm shiny [emoji41] Where did you get the wisco pistons and eagle rods from in the end ash ? How long do you recon till she's up n running fella Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I had thought the same adam as the current turbo is a tdo5 being water cooled and oil fed . I know that hot gasses move quicker therfore expelling out of the zorst sooner ,flowing better and making room for more gasses quicker I'll eventually fit a bigger turbo which will probably be just oil fed/cooled and sell the blanket on , as I'll knock up a reverse inlet manifold to shorten the fmic pipework .so it won't pass over the bigger turbo then anyways Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

I've just bought the one in your link tlag seems worth a go for under £50 [emoji6] Thanks for everyone's input [emoji41] I'll let you all know about fitment and quality once it's here and fitted [emoji106] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Cheers chap [emoji106] Will admit I'd been eyeing up slightly cheaper ones [emoji5] But as I said before I'd prefer to use one that's already tried and tested [emoji6] I've already wrapped my haywood n scott upipe and cusco downpipe in that itchy !Removed! lol and have been toying with the idea of lagging the fmic pipework as well . Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Cheers for that pete might give one a go then [emoji106] As although the pipework from fmic to throttle body is nice and cool[emoji41] the turbo to fmic pipework that passes over the turbo hotside, is to hot to touch after a spirited drive [emoji6] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Has anyone used one of the cheap turbo blankets off ebay ? Ideally to fit a tdo5 16g with a 7cm hotside . I don't want to spend a fortune on one due to hopefully upgrading the turbo next year . intake temps are good but, the fmic pipework over the turbo is getting warm and any little helps [emoji6] Even a cheap one should help surely ? I would defo prefer to buy a tried and tested one [emoji6] as I don't want a cheap Chinese bbg waiting to happen under the bonnet [emoji4] Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Glad you made it and hope that it holds out for the rest of the journey :-) I assume you don't want to end up replacing the coolant and bleeding system you get back , but when you do you could take the thermostat out and drop it in some boiling water to see if it opens . just make sure you use a new gasket upon reassembly and take plenty of pics of the road trip .

I'm fairly sure that the baz had to put another engine in , but I only put the link up to point you in the general direction of what to check . Keep us posted and best of luck bud Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Have a squint at this thread fella it's a similar situation. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/6471-new-problem-possible-head-gasket/page-2#entry37875 You'd have hydro carbons in the coolant , which can be detected by a "sniff test " if your headgasket had gone pressurising the water system .

I'd say it's probably a tdo4 as well (good for 290 hp ish) I can't tell you which injectors should be in your foz , as I'm not up to spec with fozzies . But with supporting mods If there grey they'll be 380 cc (good for 290 hp ish) If there yellow they'll be 440cc (good for 340 hp ish) Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

If it's a tdo4 or tdo5 the id will be in the same location as in this pic Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Bought my p1 replica splitter from hta autos [emoji6] Mine was black plastic which tend to be less likely to crack than the fiberglass ones Here's a link to their site don't know if they've got a ebay site im afraid http://subaru-impreza-body-kits.co.uk/bonnet-scoops-roof-vents_6.html Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Today I be mostly touching up the little kerb marks on my new alloys [emoji35] It's not the wifes fault (apparently) it's cos they "stick out further than the old ones" Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Hi and welcome to soc , tidy looking classic you've got there [emoji106] Here's the thread with one of the vids from the Highland run http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6472-scooby-highland-fling. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

If it's a turbo version I'd have thought it would be based on a uk classic which has 215 to 220 depending on year . Tbo stanton would have a better idea of which impreza bits fit the foz [emoji6] With a Pannel filter , sports cat and a remap then you should see 260/270 . Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

No problem, glad you resolved it and your research on the forge recirc's has helped me . As i needed to decide which upgrade recirc would handle 25 psi as I'll have to get one when my oe one probably spits it's guts out next year :-)
