Gambit

If I had the money and was looking for one for my collection ( I can dream) It's the only thing that would put me off otherwise I'd I would have looked for the blue I think.

No slagging people's car on here mate :) And the last time I remember seeing smiles on a car was on a done up XR2 was all in black with a monster energy green with the same colour smiles on the spotties. God that was many years ago now I remember I always wanted that car :D

Nice £250 hell I'd have bought it for that and had it brought back on a flatbed if needed too bargain :D Least you have something to look forward to coming home.... Other than the Wife of course ;)

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Good list of mods planned there I like it :D As for the clutch I couldn't give you any tips sorry I'm sure someone on here can thought plenty of members that repair and do there own for pleasure or as a living.

I wouldn't drive on it being bad if you can help it with it making the mixture bad will soon damage other parts. But I did drive around on mine for about a month and had no issue with it after that occurred. But it will get to a point it will cut out on you when you approach traffic lights round about. I even had it cut out on me going round a corner a few times that kills the power steering thats fun :D But sooner the better really could try a 2nd hand one you might get lucky but with anything like that run a risk it might be bad also.

I'd say the drop in revs is down to a faulty MAFS almost sure of that. So would say that needs a new one, but could try clean it but has never worked for me :( the smoke I guess could because of the MAF making it mix wrong I'd say that is bring on 45 at least but would start with that rest the codes and see what codes come back

Possible timing belt issue I would check the coolant see if it's drained or has mixed, and look under the oil cap see if it looks bad you will notice if it's bad be like mayo mustard. Be better to check the smoke in the day really under street lights at night is hard to get a true colour of what the smoke is. It might be a bluish colour but would white at night if you get what I mean. :) And have you done any mods like a full through exhaust and not remapped it ?

Cheers mate fantastic deals as always :)

I'd be tempted to risk them they're only plastic ones aren't they ? and if they're cheap enough.

Yeah it was Fleebay well he should have been back yesterday I was tempted to message him asking if he had sent it today seeing as he could have posted it last weekend I don't hold much hope. :( But you never know.

I would have said rear diff if it had been in 1st without the handbrake being fully released but for 2nd gear only and at the rear I'm not sure, but would say rear diff just letting you know it;s there. I'd keep driving it mate see how it goes might just have been one of them noises maybe a stone come loose and flicked up made a thud sound.

I've never done the walk of shame I've either been fast asleep still or too drunk to really care so had no shame :D

Glad to have you back mate. I knew the addiction would kick in again before long :D And how the hell did he warp disc's in less than 500 miles I didn't think it was possible. :( and shame about the turbo but if your quids in even with needing to fix it it's good news all round :D Welcome home ;)

2nd matt with the colour it's not for me but sure some people like it. And I also agree more than I would pay maybe 1k for each 1000 miles. But is nice clean car :)

They not on here so if you give them a ring or do use them be sure to say we sent you. I'm also not to sure how close you are to them, but for years these have been popular http://www.slowboy-racing.co.uk/ Unit 28 Blue chalet industrial park Kent TN15 6BQ Tel; 07782 106604 email; [email protected]

I couldn't tell you mate I use tie wraps if anything comes a bit loose if I can't find a replacement ;)

Thats what we're hoping the regional section will be used for to find more local members that love the passion of Subaru's and Dogging in my case ;) HERE I've been trying to get some breakers yards to come on here all seem not to bothered maybe it's my picture :D But I guess they are easy to be shot at if they have a problem with a part. so prefer to stay away but I will keep on pestering them. Like I do when I see a really attractive woman stood at a bus stop And I have been thinking about having a bit for the Subaru specialists like Martin(AKA 555) Bips and Tlag MD peformance if he comes back on. So people can look to see where local garages are for repairs. or ones we like ;) that have good feedback.

Thats true Martin and welcome all the help we can get :) You have become a bit of a legend on here without even making a post That takes skill ;)

No problem I'm all for saving money where can be :) And at least all being well your car will be fixed and look back to it's best this time next week :)

Fully agree. As I have said before touch wood (touches head) I've never had to make a claim but from everyone I have ever met it's always been horror stories I witnessed a crash once had to fill in loads of paper work and draw a picture of what happened, got a phone call the lad admitted it was his fault that was it they didn't need anything more fourm me. I guess I was lucky but you can see why witnesses are a bit reluctant to stop.

Yeah I would say you was right. And I think just a light dust over with a few coats of lacquer. It's like what I did with my lights but matt black with a light dust over to try not give to much of a shine.

Sounds like the safest bet to me mate. I couldn't think of anything worse than getting another one start doing it up and then having to sell it on soon after if it does go tit's up :(

That does look good if you can get it looking the same I'd do it :)

Soon as you have a date I will get it posted on Facebook :)
