hi mate welcome to the club

see you all there :)

IIRC they do fit, but are just slightly shorter than the wagon box it's got to be worth trying for £15

they are a direct fit, but it will need a remap when fitted

didn't know fast car was still going

hi mate welcome to the club the type R looks great, good choice B) any pics of the hatch STI?

I'm sure there will be someone down your way that is lenient, it's just finding him. have you got any 'local' modified forums? I doubt you are the only person in your area that needs a lenient MOT station. as long as everything else is safe and legal, I can't see the problem.

are you wanting to keep the decat downpipe or fit a std cat downpipe or fit a sports cat? the clinic deal with milltek, not sure about H & S if you just swap the cat back section, it will be fine. if you fit a cat pipe or sports cat it will need a remap

ash read the previous posts and see the author. he passed away a few months ago :(

the decat will increase the noise, but the choice of exhaust will change the overall sound. have a look for quieter exhausts, a lot of people sell them because they are too quiet. a couple that spring to mind are milltek and Hayward and Scott (H & S) both are known for being quiet, but also make good power, the disadvantage is the price, neither are cheap

hi mate welcome to the club my last blob had an aftermarket spoiler fitted, it just used the existing holes and loads of tiger seal. be careful with quality of copies, most are fibreglass and hollow, they flex more and this can cause cracking and thus water ingress. also, most don't have 3rd brake light and make sure you get the correct style for your year, should have the vertical back, not slanty

hi mate welcome to the club there are loads of owners around Sheffield/Chesterfield area on a Saturday morning a few lads normally meet at scoobyclinic for a chat the next Sheffield meet is on Monday 13th July from 7pm at Sheffield Subaru Service

hi mate welcome to the club car looks good :)

that's a good sign anyway :) hopefully the split pipe will sort it

there is a guide to checking stored faults, it involves putting 2 plugs together under the dash

it should light up when you start up and go out a couple of seconds later. if it doesn't light up at all, the bulb might have been removed to hide the problem. if it stays on, there will be a fault stored on the ECU

this thread just appeared when I clicked 'new content', how things can change in a year :( RIP JGM

hi mate welcome to the club scabbynet isn't great now, it's full of trolls and facebook tuners it's a good laugh on here and there are always meets going on all over the country

that looks like my key for my blob, one button is lock, one is unlock

hi mate welcome to the club is the CEL lit? does it light on start up and go out? have you checked fault codes? any split pipes or intercooler? is the boost pill fitted?

hiya and welcome to the forum good choice with a black blob :) I think you are better with a spanner than 90% of the blokes on here one easy and cheap mod to do is 'detango' the headlights (split the lights and remove the orange bit) and fitting silver bulbs in the rear indicator (gets rid of the 'fried egg' look)

racedynamix has mapped my cars for the last 6 years, I've never had a problem and always had good results every mapper has good and bad feedback. Area52, racedynamix, JGM and scoobyclinic all have their lovers and haters. some just hate for the sake of hating The best of the best and the ones I would choose would be - Pat Herborn, Andy Forrest, Paul Blamire and engine tuner.

looking at the results the clinic had with just a remap, I don't know how dealers can offer 350bhp

good point Tidgy, some garages will quote a lower price to look cheaper, but they don't always do everything that the more expensive garage would have done

I think I'll be going to this, looks like a great day out
