what do you use to lift ur lowered car?
I use a set of ramps with a wood ramp to get under the bumper, I call them roboramps I have also used a scissor jack to lift car enough to get a trolley jack underneath. my newest jack is from JTF and only cost £20, it goes under easily and can lift from anywhere. Bargain

Rear clunk, time for coilovers?
the WRX are normal, the STI are inverted. The STI can be repaired with a couple of hours work and a grease nipple. The KYB are a straight swap for the WRX, also they can be swapped without the need of spring clamps

Dashcams, show us your view!
one of my nephews had a KA, he said he turned right at a local roundabout and was doing 120mph around it. I took him out in my scooby on a private road and he was sh1tting himself when I was taking a corner at 80mph

newbie needs help buy first impreza
it looks in reasonable condition, if the engine sounds and pulls ok and the rear arches are ok, it's got to be worth it

Newbie, Michael, the WRX C13 Concept Designer
hi mate welcome to the club 3D is a work of art and very time consuming, but when it's done right it's wow. I have done programming on CNC machines and PLC programming. The PLC is like a work of art and some people just have the ability to read it easily. I was working in a factory (new machine install) and was looking through a program that wasn't performing correctly, me and their maintenance sparky had a couple of hours looking and couldn't sort it. They got a bloke in from down south and he charges £1k per day. He had a full day at it and couldn't sort it. so they had to pay a bloke to come over from Germany (paid traveling time/expenses) and he sorted it out within 4 hours. The cost of the bloke is.........£5k per day :o

yeah, they are around the 300 mark. But there isn't much more to get out of the turbo. The clinic did a custom remap and gained 12bhp, then a remap with cat back and made another 8bhp. They then tried it with a sports cat and added another 10. making it 330bhp Mangoletsi subaru claim 350bhp from just a remap, but no graphs to prove. on the blob sti, the engine components/turbo were over engineered, so a remap could take it from 265bhp to 340bhp, a massive increase. some people expect the new model to be just as tuneable, but I don't think it is

So Happy That I've Got A Dash Cam.......

350bhp, good luck the standard turbo is running nearly at max on the standard map at 290bhp. If one of the best mappers in the country (Pat Herborn) can't get those sort of figures, don't think anyone else can. Have a look through the UKscoobies thread, you will get better gains with a sports cat as well. Should get 330ish

Will the 2017 car tax changes see the return of big dirty engined scoobs to the UK?
it's got to make bigger engined cars easier to sell and more popular. one reason I wouldn't buy a newer Impreza is the £500 road tax. £10 a week for road tax and it would sit on my drive 6 days a week and only go on the road for 2 or 3 hours on a sunday

Any one seen this on a welding forum Land rovers not my thing but very interesting
Just had a quick read, she certainly likes to get stuck in Didn't see her welding much though Years ago I worked in a fabrication shop as a maintenance sparky and when I didn't have much to do I used to help the welders get jobs done. The company said I was better than most of the 'proper' welders lol, they even paid for me to do my NVQ3's in 'fabrication and sheet metalwork' and 'structural steelwork', then ASME9 (coded welding) so I could work on pressurized lorry tankers.

My Little Helper
while out at the car earlier he explained to me how to change a shocker, jack up, wheel off, undo bolts, lift up 'hood' and undo bolts at top. I said 'why did you call it hood?' he said there's a game he wants for the laptop and he's been watching it on youtube and that's what the lad calls it. I asked what it was called - 'car mechanic simulator'

He loves helping me with anything, he has helped me make some brackets to hold my intercooler water spray jets, and I took my wipers off, he rubbed them down and sprayed them too. he even noticed to washer bottle was a bit dirty inside and said I should wash it in the sink when he was 3, I knocked my kitchen through he was helping me with stuff, knocking bricks out, carrying them to the skip. When I was doing the plumbing he wanted to cut the copper pipe for me, so I showed him how to use a pipe slice, then he even put the flux on and used the blow torch to sweat some fittings up.
