  1. You can adjust the clutch under the clutch pedal, the rod that goes into the master cylinder and that is connected to your pedal has a nut locking it in position on your pedal, loosen it, then to adjust the pedal you need to turn the rod anti clockwise , maybe one or two rotations, its easier to turn if you take the R pin and shaft that holds the rod to the pedal mechanism of , then re assemble and see how it feels, youll probably need to adjust it several times to get right position. But I don't want to sound like a !Removed! might need to get used to the car. Remember AWD is not the same as a rear or a FWD. I mean that with the up most respect to try to save you money :)
  2. Hey nobody said anything of not want underpants pictures haha :) I've been sending Jay mine in the post not even had so much as a private message back I think he likes to plays hard to get :D
  3. I was thinking double mattress and a disco ball myself. But each to there own :) "Giddy Giddy Giddy"
  4. Hi Curtis welcome to S.O.C If you have any problems or just want to join in on the many random off topic chat's you are more then welcome. And Jay and I love pictures we often share some between our self's So please feel free to share some when you get chance........ I mean of the car.. Of course ;)
  5. Should be 1.2 bar of pressure with a PPP on it. But can be tunned and have silly money spent on it like mine, should be able to push like mine 1.5 bar. But I'm silly enough to do that :D
  6. Pmsl I love these sorts of adds. It does help sell I don't care what they say, just hope to many people don't start doing the same thing. But nice find :D
  7. Exactly what Jay said :D And no paid membership you found the best car club to join. I've never know or heard of one like us :D
  8. Not from down that way so can't help there mate but hopefully one of the many members we have from your way on will be able to give some advise :)
  9. yeah your idle does sound low should be higher then 500RPM
  10. Hey nothing wrong with noise lol mine is pretty loud straight through. And the neighbours love it :D
  11. Hi mate welcome to S.O.C And I love the Hawkeyes even if its not a WRX. And I too like rallying :D as you might be able to tell never done any as an event though :(
  12. Not bad MPG and good choice with the forester. :) Should have tried our insurance see if it was any cheaper as you get discount from being a club member :) but least you are sorted now. Just need to get it cleaned up and some pictures on :D
  13. Well my guess would be he used a donor car I.e one he knew would pass and just added your reg on the computer, very common thing to do :) They might have added something to the oil also just to lower it. I don't think he would have done anything to the idle unless it was over revving :)
  14. I would go 2nd hand, there always seems to be some for sale just finding the right one with classics :( And I know it's hard but you should be fine just keep off the boost until its done. :D Give you 3 weeks I bet you buy one new haha :D
  15. Woohoo now you are officially a S.O.C :) Be great to see some pictures mate.
  16. Sounds like the bushings have gone mate, common on the Legacy can be repaired. Not sure if its an easy fix or not I've never had to do one Here is a guide I found all credit to the OP :) I picked up a B&M short throw shifter including front/rear bushings. I installed it a few weeks ago and decided to post a few pictures for those who are wondering about this kit. With the front / rear bushings the "neutral wobble" is 95% gone there still some play but overall very nice. B&M Short Throw Shifter PART # MAKE/MODEL 45150 96-03 SUBARU IMPREZA 45150 96-03 SUBARU LEGACY 45150 01-06 SUBARU WRX 5-SPEED Shifter fits the above. My kit came with the bushings so I am going to assume that all kits will come with them now. Cost: $190 CAN including tax local pickup brand new http://www.jrponline.com Shifter Side-by-side OLD REAR BUSHING Thats a KartBoy bushing but its identical to the B&M The front bushing wasn't in bad shape but I replaced them with the B&M that came with the kit.. This is also a Kartboy bushing but identical to B&M (i am just using this for reference) Now the whole process wasn't to bad except for the fact that the B&M kit did not come with a shifter retaining clip!!!!!!!!!! It comes with everything else but not something that costs 10 cents!! This is do-it-yourself if you have the right tools. This job was pretty easy since we were using a hoist but it is 100% possible to do this in your garage. When you purchase the B&M kit it gives you a pretty decent description step-by-step of what to do. Summary: Remove center console Remove bracket holding dust boot (6 screws) Unscrew the shift knob Un-bolt the upper linkage from the shifter Drop Exhaust Drop the exhaust shield Drop the mid drive shaft support (optional for more room) Un-bolt lower linkage from shifter Remove retaining ring clip w/ proper puller tool Pull out rear shifter linkage from the rear shifter mount Remove the rear shifter mount Remove the front shifter mount from the linkage (push it out w/ end of hammer) Replace front shifter mount (push it in with your fingers left/right bushing) Replace rear shifter mount Remove the shifter Replace the shifter w/ new grease Reconnect everything The only thing that seemed strange was the metal bracket holding the dust boot had to be installed backwards and only 4 screws can be used. Theres a few little steps I didn't mention but the step-by-step w/ the kit will explain. Heres also the legacy guide for a 97' I am sure its the same as 95-99.
  17. I hate you ;)
  18. Gambit replied to simon poole's topic in General Subaru Chat
    Same tit from before is my guess just ignore the trolls will update the profile and remove the post in a second. Just looking what he's put first. Where is !Removed! Gandalf when you need that long bearded wizard troll killing genius..... YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!! Ok sorry I'm geek raging now :D And I can't believe you sold it :( I was only about £16,000 short I was working on it (runs off and cry's into a pillow) think Cossie would have me hands down. Be interested to see what you think with the Evo. Last guy I spoke with said its a nice car but he couldn't live with it. But he is a Subaru owner now :)
  19. Hi Owen welcome to S.O.C I would let you take some of mine but you are to far away for me :( And I would always say get one. Yes that is from a very bias view :D they're more addictive the crystal meth :)
  20. Might help with some more air so might get a few BH gains 2 maybe 3 :D but will help it sound more snorty if that's such a word :D I would still want the STI spoiler myself. But the car is looking great mate, massive well done from what it started off from so far. And as I have said before. we all have to hold back on things we want or need to do when it comes to money so you're not on your own :)
  21. Looking good Mel. How have you not been pulled over with them back light's they look soooo dark lol :) Any other mods planned ? And I like the silver and black look, as you might have seen through other posts :D And Silverscooby you have another Female reporting for duty :D Oh and you can post pic's on the forum in here ;) just so you know
  22. I think Simtek is the one used for your car which I believe would give you 2 flashes to have installed. But I'm not 100% sure with the ECU on classic shapes. I would take it to your local remap place to get there advise which would completely outweigh mine I wouldn't want to tell you something and it be wrong :( Hope that help's Not sure if anyone else knows on here :)
  23. Hi mate we have many discussion on this :) with that type they don't have ODM ports and the ECU can't be remapped. So mean's you would have to buy one that is ok for the car as a replacement that can be remapped. And no post is too long Unless you say Audi drivers know how to drive. And that's to long right there :D
