Gambit

Bit gutted to hear but I did think that was the problem to be fair :( Was hoping it wasn't the rusty/brownish looking coolant was the give away for me. But happy to see you getting it repaired and treating her to some new bits so all being well many years after this of small costley driving :D

Pfft Stants you're just so inconsiderate ;)

Only time I've seen people or had grinding myself was the metal shield was hanging a bit over and would grind when turning. Or the best one I had a mechanic forgot to do up the bottom bolt of my caliper so that made a lovely noise when I turned :o. I would check everything is tight 1st and check the metal shield isn't catching.

Rear Bumper Sold

Bought a new back bumper as I had a crack in the one on now.... Oh and it's of a blobeye STI so now means I'm going to have to buy new rear lights and maybe a diffuser why I'm at it :D

Well hopefully it's just you making it up and being a mad man ;)

Does seem a bit cheap £10 did it overheat when you drove it back or wasn't you driving for long ? But appreciate keeping us updated :)

Hi mate welcome back glad to hear you kept the Scoob :) as for the calipers mate I had a problem with mine and got another set like you I was going to refurbish them too but decided I didn't have the time to do it not even at a slow pace :( But I'm sure you have to get them out with a grease gun or something that gives loads of pressure I came across this pretty good vid, I know it's not subaru calipers but basic idea :D

I liked the gran turismo sun strip. Be interested to know if it was one they have used for the GT Tv events.

Ive seen one near me a vouple of times drive past nice white one. Other than that 2 Gt86s

Blobeye I cut into the plastic parcel shelf type thing from inside the boot you can see 2 holes I used that as my guide. With the Bugeye I've gone a whole other way round with this and have been looking at a amp with a subwoofer built in :)

I had the same problem only way is to move it or block it off :( I know i cracked the plastic around mine when I moved it too.

Selling these on behalf of a mate of mine. As he hasn't made a post on here yet I thought be best if I posted :D Blob STI front bumper uncut with winglets and covers with trumpet all genuine has some marks and stone chips which is to be expected £ 200 Rear blob sti bumper has a faint scratch on side £60 Blob vltd splitter brand new never fitted £70 Turbosmart supersonic newage fitment few months old with bung still in box £110

Not sure how much the self sniff test kits are but might be worth doing that or if you have a garage you trust to check it shouldn't cost much. I'd have it tested before spending money on a new rad just in case, with you saying rusty colour. You might be right rad might be bad on the inside doing it and blocking it up with crap then resulting in it to overheat but I'd have a guess the oils breached into the coolant. As I said never used one I'd say a garage who can test it would be better but cheap enough. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=head+gasket+tester&_frs=1 Not sure if Halfrauds sell them or not crap site with an equally !Removed! search bar make it hard to find anything :(

I'm sure it will not too sure on the non turbos but most of the time its more to do with the engine fitting the gearbox. But like the bug and the blob with turbos their the same engine.

Gutted I know mine had done that once I'd caught my jacket pocket on the catch and bent it out a bit managed to open it and bend it back a bit been fine ever since. [emoji20]

:( Did you make sure it hasn't airlocked when you filled it back these are a real pain for air locking. And the thermostat did you do the boil in the water test just to check see if they was faulty ? I'd have a look at you oil cap too just to check the headgasket hasn't gone and the coolant look a different colour brown tinge to it ?

Well hopefully just a onr off for you mate :-)

Well I've started talks with Subaru uk about being with us next year :)

Looking more promising this already :D

Yeah does sound like a starter motor going.

Was just about to Echo Adam. :)

Should be fine with that mate just the profile that is changing, might alter the speedo a little bit but don't think be by much

I'd have to say the starter motor mate if it didn't start when it did it.

Yep sound just like me :D
