Pads and sticky caliper help!
Yeah you can swap well upgrade to the Brembos easy enough does mean disc's and pads need to be changed and to make sure the alloy doesn't catch. But even Brembos can suffer with sticky pistons but doesn't happen as much . These are mine still in the box I will get round to fitting them :D I'm pretty sure as long as you have a good car it will be a keeper not met many that haven't enjoyed them, but everyone is different I guess :)

Pads and sticky caliper help!
You can free it mate as I said it could last a few months but will need to work it to get it moving again. I'd have to ask Cusco but think it was £150 for the pair + £40 deposit and what ever postage was think it was about £15 But then you have to send your old ones back to him and he will give you the £40 back once he's received your old calipers.

Pads and sticky caliper help!
As said above unfortunately mate I currently have a set of refurbished ones to put on my car for the same reason. I'd not waste to much time with good pads if you know about a sticky piston it's just a matter of time before it comes back, and if it's really bad it will just scrub one side off more than the other making them useless :( when you do get round to sorting the calipers out. I've freed mine up a few times though they can last days or months but will always jam up eventually :(

What have you done to your Subaru today ?

-
What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Just !Removed! down here at the minute but about 20 miles south of me on the hills just had a picture sent of snow setting :D

Spark plug changing - how easy and cost?
I still hate them but I do suffer with short patience :) I'd recommend you having ago and agree better plugs is better than standard. And as Pete said be very careful with the coil packs. I'm pretty sure you will soon learn to hate them too :D
-
Spark plug changing - how easy and cost?
No order to go by but I'll say it again, they're a real pain in the !Removed! to change I hate doing them. I know Martin and a few others on here who are pretty good with the engines lift the engine to change. The Back passenger side is by far the worst one, I've thrown some tools around with some profanities just because of that last one :(
-
Is a Subaru worth the running costs?
In a completely biased view Yes! ;) But I wouldn't skint myself to run a car though mate. :(

Looking for cars for online magazine
No thats fine mate. Sorry for the inconvenience of coming here with all the questions, I don't think I need to echo why again but safety 1st ;) Might be a bit slow now with Christmas but I'm sure some members would like to take the opportunity up. I think be easier if we get you a more appealing post set up 1st on here one you can use to reply to people but gives people a clear view of what your sites about, if thats ok I'm happy to help with this here. As I said before my mate might post his cars up I don't mean to sound like a prick but he might not his cars do make the front covers of just about every magazine. There that nice it makes me jealous :) but I will put it to him. As an example ;) one of his old car's

Dump valve
Hi mate welcome to S.O.C I'd say it's not impossible but you would be much better off getting one for a new age as the fitting isn't the same at all and would involve a lot of work if it can be done. So I'd say no it won't. classic shape newage. the blue think with smallish 3mm blue pipe coming off the TMIC

From Blobeye to Hawkeye
Yeah its pretty much all bolt on other than the radiator top support bar has to have a bit of spot welding drilled out and a hawkeye one replaced with the spot welds done to it in its place again . Which I can't do myself so will get someone to do that. There is various ways of doing the front end conversion from swapping the full slam panel but I'm going the easier route in my opinion. But my swap over is going to be pretty slow I've started getting the parts but in no rush until summer anyway.
