  1. Haha I was looking at the car's in the background too but didn't see that sat there well spotted.

    Buying a cat c ?

    Yeah once the repairs have been done that they wrote it off for you can drive it to the MOT station have it tested once its been tested and fine you then apply for the Vic check with VOSA is my understanding of it. I've only been looking briefly into it myself seen a few nice write offs :)
  3. Just seeing how many want to go at the minute then I will speak with the organizers and find out :D I will go if I can get the house and car sorted before but tall order for me this year :(

    Buying a cat c ?

    No I've also looked at a few Cat C's in the aim of buying one to do up bit like yourself. I'm not 100% clued up on the means of getting it back on the road other than the Mot and tax and the Vic check
  5. It is nice though my Missus was just looking at me like I'm an idiot when I said I would buy it if I had the cash :D Seen a few nice P1's I'm really tempted to get one and make it like a 22b with the body kit's.
  6. You're welcome mate. It is I can't find anything I will keep looking but it's pages among pages of just nothing. :( Just going to add some bit's might help others or yourself in the future if anyone is going to do it :) How should a catch can be installed? There are a variety of ways to install a catch can. There's one right way, two sort-of right ways, and some would argue that at least one common installation method which is wrong. Sort of right ways: 1) Disconnect the hose which runs between the PCV valve and the turbo inlet pipe. Run a line from the PCV to the catch can, and another line from the catch can to the turbo inlet hose. 2) Disconnect the hose running between the crank case breather lines and the turbo inlet pipe. Run new hose between the breather line and the catch can and another hose between the can and the inlet pipe. Right way: Use two catch cans. Configure one as discussed in option one and the other as described in option 2. For optimal effectiveness, this is the way to go. Wrong way: Disconnect the PCV<->Inlet line as well as the Crank Vent<->Inlet line. "T" the PCV and Crank vent lines together, and run the remaining end of the "T" to a single nipple on the inlet pipe. Cap the remaining nipple on the inlet. You'll be sending boost into places that definitely shouldn't ever see any. Bad idea. Valve cover vent lines? There's more than one? Yes, but they're T'd into that black tube which runs in front of your intercooler. The third part of the T is a hose running to your inlet pipe. Can't I just vent these lines to atmosphere? You could indeed, but there are several reasons why you shouldn't. 1) You'll lose the benefit of having the inlet's vacuum help suck filthy air out of your crank case (thanks to Wylde Horses for this one) 2) It's bad for the environment 3) It'll make a mess of your engine compartment. 4) It'd let metered air out of the system
  7. I came across this ;) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-Subaru-Impreza-22B-/321230813763?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4acad93a43
  8. Yeah sounds like they will do a sniff test a smoke test for air leaks and get it on the ECU to test it. Was about £85 for me to get that done on a car awhile back. but that was a one off payment £85 I didn't have any extra or hourly rate :(
  9. Wow most places I know will check a car over for free unless you're having the sniff test done and the ECU read. Mind you I can even have the ECU done for free to be read. :( But either way best I think just for peace of mind and to try get to the bottom of the problem. Hope it's not to bad for you mate
  10. Haha I don't know many people that don't call it scabby.net now. Don't get me wrong it's nothing against the site or the Admins and Staff why I call it that. I've spoke to the Admins and found them very pleasant and helpful, I've been a member on it for years must be about 8 years ago when I 1st started to use maybe more, and am a full paid member but I think how some members speak to others on there is shocking and has given the site a pretty bad rep. I've spoken to a lot of Subaru owners that won't use the site now. Two are in their mid 50's :( just for that reason.
  11. Only thing I can think was the pipe was some how starving it of air and I can't see why it would need to be mapped.
  12. I would say I will be on the Xbone if I'm on but might try pop on the 360 then I can at least add you I don't know how to add people on the Xbone
  13. Lee's already asked on Scabby.net I've seen his post :) more about the problem than the owner though.
  14. I 2nd that I have one in the car the one in the picture. I disconnected it after reading some horror stories less than a week after I fitted it. Worked well but I didn't want to risk it.
  15. :( I doubt he will come forward on Scabby.net if he won't return the call's :(
  16. The noise will help the baby to sleep :) and awd for safety has four doors big boot space ideal family car I wouldn't look any further. But congratulations on the new baby mate :)
  17. It is good with it on I'm sure I was quoted about £380 with pump.
  18. Not sure if any of this will help. I see what you mean it's a bit of a mine field :(
  19. I've never fitted one but they do look like a pain in the rear hole. I've read they are set up the same way the Imprezas. I'm just looking for more info if it helps.
  20. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C have a few members with them like Salsa King has a really nice looking one not that I will tell him that ;) So they might be able to advise better than me with owning one. But I would say 1st thing I would look at is to see if it's had Ringland failure or had it fixed. if it's been done I wouldn't worry too much but if it's not I would make sure you check the service of the car that it's been done when it should have been. I don't mean that to put you off many people have them and don't have problems but it's what I would look at if I had the money to buy one :)
  21. NBO 12 ..Sunday 29 June 2014 @ Lightwater Valley Theme Park, Ripon, North Yorkshire HG4 3HT The ultimate event for Subaru owners no matter what model you have this is The Biggest Subaru Gathering In Europe!. Sign up if you are interested to go with the club below so we can look at the numbers going please. This year as it is so busy we are starting at 1030 AM although Club stands and Traders ONLY will be permitted at intervals between 8.00am - 9.30am to give everyone time to set up ready for 400-500 cars which have turned up every year. Club Stand Competition The concept has now been taken one step further as it has developed with a Car of the day competition in its own Arena with some new different classes to enter. This year we have recruited some of the most respected judges in the uk who really know their stuff and even a top judge from USA, it is a chance for all the Subaru Clubs in the UK to get their Club stands out and show off their Club displays. They can compete for the Club Stand of the day and the Big Gold Cup and also runner up prizes. This year we will have a representative judge from every club to assist in the judgeing for the club stand of the show . this year we will have over 14 clubs from all over the UK competing Any business that would like to support this years NBO 12 by having a trade stand please get in touch . The fee for the day is £50. We are also looking for raffle and auction prizes if any one would like to donate. Thank you. We need to get number and sign up before the end of May after that it's gone for another year :( Confirmed definitely going no matter what. Even if I have to push my car there :) From 08.45 at quarry moor retail park, HG4 2SD just off the A61 rippon bypass, Plan is to leave around 09.30 and head up to lightwater valley taking the bypass it's about six miles. For people coming up the A1 it's off at junction 50 then follow signs to rippon/harrogate, For gaulson and those traveling from the west follow a59 from skipton till you get to the roundabout at the entrance to harrogate the turn left onto a61. http://www.northernbigone.co.uk/nbo11p2.html https://www.facebook.com/pages/Northern-Big-One/114138271944139 Oh and don't forget Scooby Pete has some amazing Club Show Plates for a great price
