Throttle body cleaning
Oh sorry thought I had replied to this. I used carb cleaner and an old toothbrush to clean the throttle body. But going with Seafoam when I do an oil change next. As for painting I would remove them myself, but Savage might have done his without the need of removing anything.

Moving from Forest 2.0X to 2.5XT. Will it still be good on the farm?
I've seen plenty of people off roading with the XT for it not to worry me or going through massive water splashes. I've not looked but I'm sure someone will have recorded themselves on youtube if you have a look. depends if you're thinking about driving over massive boulders and peaks :D

Ok mate I know you have been called names on here I appreciate that from both sides. You're calling other's idiots but yet you drive down a motorway with no brake pads in the front, pot kettle black in my opinion. You shouldn't even be driving the car on the roads. 12 years experience ???? Well should know better really. To be fair mate I will give you a final warning from the off here as you seem to be fighting a losing battle despite me trying to give you a chance to redeem yourself. I will close this thread I won't ban you straight away. but any follow up threats or anything will not be tolerated in any shape or form on here. I can give you a nice Subaru forums link to go vent off to if you like see what they have to say. ;)

To be fair mate I think this will be better left alone now. I think in central London was not really going to help your course. I have to say I try to see the funny side of most thing's in life. I can't see one here, and i'm not really sure what you want people to say to you without being rude in some form or another. So I will monitor this for an hour and if I feel it is getting out of hand it will be closed without notice.

Pffft. To be fair mate I think you're lucky in so many ways 1st one this being a friendly forum. I've driven some sheds around but I think you have made them look like pristine motor's. But I'm guessing by your lack of care for others on the road and yourself nevermind the car I would say your best bets selling it as a spares or repairs. Hub damage warped disc brakes broken calipers alloy's warped possible the list will no doubt go on the damage it will have done.

Moving from Forest 2.0X to 2.5XT. Will it still be good on the farm?
I look at the XT as being the more sporty version but should be more than fine off roading with one. :) And welcome to S.O.C

newbie after info
I would have been happy to have gone mate but live in between Louth and Grimsby in the middle of nowhere. I'm trying to think who's down that way I know MD Performance is down there but he's a garage so would say be too busy :( Anyone else if I remember I will post unless anyone come forward 1st

newbie after info
I find it hard to put value on other peoples car's. But for me I would have been looking around £2,400 to £2,800 but have seen the price shoot up over the last 6 to 8 months again on them. And thats going on what he's said in the listing

newbie after info
Wow sounds like a lot of money to me. Is it a rare car ? some turbos do whistle a little bit. But would want to hear it really see how bad it is. Think I found it. And I would be looking at paying less myself for it, car doesn't look bad but think it's overpriced for what it is. but then again are you part x-ing a car for it ? · 1997 Impreza STI Version 3 110,000Km · Imported in to UK in 2008 · MOT October 2014 · Tax end of August 2014 · Nearly new Toyo Proxies all round · Recent new front discs and pads and oil and filter · Recent clutch · Earthing kit · Japspeed Decat down pipe (Original CAT supplied) · New air flow meter 07/09 · Speedo converted to MPH but original millage retained · White line antiroll bars and anti-lift kit supplied and fitted by PowerStation Tewkesbury including Stage 1 handling kit alignment · Original auction sheet from Japan and export Certificate · Rear strut brace Car has a couple of minor scratches as expected from a car of this age but is a very clean example and drives excellently Always driven on Shell optimax and booster. Car does have piston slap from cold as most do but goes away also the turbo seems to whistle slightly but has not got anyworse and doesn’t affect performance. Small scrape on rear bumper Front splitter cracked Would be willing to PX depending on vehicle.

Buying sti with racing diff
Hi mate welcome to S.O.C I'm guessing you know it's from the diff for sure and not the suspension or any other parts that make a clunk :) Is it at low speeds or underload, was it while turning. I'd also have a look see when the oil was last changed can make it less noisy. But either way it shouldn't clunk really.

air suspension
Didn't take much convincing I like that ;) And exactly mate it would be boring if we did the same things to our car's :) And you have a friend with all Audis ???? And I thought you was a top guy ;)

air suspension
Not something I thought about using but seen a gold with it on and thought it looked pretty cool. And it's your car so I'd say do it mate just don't forget video evidence is needed :D Just remeber don't try drive around with it low sure way for police to just pull you and a fine :( even if it does look good :)
