  1. I would try some of this with the oil change http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORTE-DIFF-AND-GEAR-TREATMENT-NEW-125ML-GEARBOX-/251342602851?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a852fc263 Could risk a 2nd hand gearbox be cheaper but again run the risk of it being as bad or worse. But I think a refub box is just over £1K so not cheap then fitting. might be able to get it cheaper but would need to shop about. But I would still try the oil and treatment :D
  2. Yep you got it :) should be fine with the brackets being moved to the right places :)
  3. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Please feel free to have a look around the forums and to join in on the threads. And do you like movies we have a fun movie quiz going looking for more people to join in :D And sorry to hear about the bump hopefully be easy enough to repair. have you checked it's not the bumper that been knocked lower.?
  4. I'm sure the brackets don't match you would need to change them and I believe it would only fit from Cat back
  5. I've thought about it not done it yet myself I do like the debadge boot's
  6. I'm going to say I can't make it, but that's not 100% might be ok just unsure. Had a few unexpected bills this month with a £700 broken table and a new graphics card :D and on the 22nd of Oct is my son's Birthday. But I will try ;)
  7. Council the Governments lap dogs the ******'s :D
  8. Looks great ideal for dogging Oh and the car looks very nice too ;) I spot some Mcrae R.I.P stickers too :D
  9. Nice job mate and look forward to seeing the star studded Bafta award pictures ;)
  10. :( More cost then but atleast it's done now :D
  11. Ok be about 8ish tonight. And no problem at all ;)
  12. I'm not sure I just looked it up on ebay I can ask him he lives next door but be later tonight. You could buy it from there they will post to the UK if you really wanted that one, or have a look again on ebay see if there is a UK company that sell's it I just used the 1st one I see to give you an idea :D
  13. I will admit it I'm not sure myself mate. With not having a legacy hopefully one of the other members will be able to let you know.
  14. Rothenberg is the best by far but as you said you will pay for it. Not sure about the £20 mark I can't see any of them being upto much. B&Q might do one around that price. And as for the gas I only ever use butane or propane. Depends on what size pipe I use but propane is the one I use more.
  15. Hello mate welcome to S.O.C Seems like a good price. I know you can fit newage ones to classic shapes with a bit of work depends how good you are with some spanners or how much you want to do messing about. has your's got the angle inter cooler or flat/straight ?
  16. Fantastic mate that will be great look forward to seeing them. And atleast you didn't have to show those other car's up ;) And happy to hear it was a good day for you makes it worth the trip. I will watch the show I just have to make sure I put it some where to remind myself :D Cheered me up that so much Iv'e even just woke my missus to tell her. All I got was "Ohhh.... Good"
  17. All pictures are good here as you know ;)
  18. Sounds good to me I think I would sell up and re do the STI just so you can do more but that's me spending your money :D
  19. Please join me in welcoming our 1st 3 Regional Coordinators. I just wanted to take this opportunity from all us here at S.O.C to congratulate them and helping the club move forward. cusco scooby wagon Ash007ks Scooby Pete Welcome to the team! I know it might be a bit of a slow start but hopefully we're heading in the right direction to getting some local meets organised, and to meet some of the great members we have here in our areas. And not to forget some nice pictures to show off :D If you want to have an event/meet advertised on our Facebook this can be arranged. So without further ado we wish you the best of luck with future event's. And thank you.

    If you get good vinyl it should be easy to fit and lasts ages. I was talking to a bloke that does them for a living and window tints. He said the really cheap stuff will always after time try to go straight again, and then peels up and will let crap in behind them.
  21. That one can be used on the outside or inside. :D Friend of mine managed to seal a hole in the bottom of a mini he has with it and never leaked since so should be fine. And if you have to take it out I agree you might as well renew it a lot of work not to I wasn't sure where about's the leak is, but if you can't find another tank this should still do the job :)
  22. Hi Josh welcome to the forums It might just need an oil change of the gearbox if it's not been serviced for awhile hole car might need a good service. But what happens over time the gears box oil gets bit's of crap and metal in there could be that or the worse case synchromesh. Then it's cheaper to get a 2nd hand refurbished gearbox fitted. Unless you are good with car's. :) But I would take the risk myself 1st is a strange gear to go before one of the others.
  23. Very nice I would say with what you did to her have the STI. But then I would want to have some time to enjoy the mods you have done :D what year STI would you go for we did have a really nice one in the sale's section a few months ago.
  24. It could be a muffler but I'm not sure I have seen other car's with 2 parts on them like that. But don't know enough about them everyone I've paid for to be fitted or had fixed :)
  25. Hi welcome to S.O.C Sounds like you have a big job on there I'm afraid :( Relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler assembly, remove the rear differential assembly and the rear crossmember. Remove the fuel filler cap and drain the fuel into a suitable container. Remove the fuel filler pipe protector. Raise and support the vehicle safely on jackstands. Remove the fuel filler, air vent and delivery hoses disconnect the air breather hoses and evaporation hose from the pipes. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack or equivalent lifting device. Loosen the attaching bolts and lower the fuel tank slightly. Disconnect the fuel pump harness and should be able to remove the tank from there on. Basically everything from under the back end of the car has to be removed. As for buying one there is a list of breakers you could try http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/593-subaru-breakers-for-parts/ I'm not sure how well this stuff works or if you can get to the leak to try it, but has to be worth a look :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-B-WELD-8277-Water-Weld-Epoxy-Putty-2-oz-UNDERWATER-NEW-/330769453745?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item4d036552b1 This is from America. Might be able to get it in the UK some where. I've also had a look see if I had any workshop manuals only one I have is for the 2001 to 2004 :(
