Got ripped off on ebay
Ive managed to message customer services again and they send you round in circles.if it was a private sale with out ebay it would have been easy.But ebay send me to paypal and paypal send me to ebay!It puts you off trusting people there is so many rip off merchants about now it spoils it for the genuine people.I will wait now to hear what ebay say :(

Got ripped off on ebay
I paid for a std bov valve from a Subaru impreza only £15 but not the point.A week later and nothing so I messaged the seller and later that night I get a message saying only just seen this I will have it posted special delivery tomorrow that was Friday gone.That same night I messaged about another item to catch him out and I get a message saying just arrived back in the uk! I thought is he taking the fu*king p*ss or what.So ive complained to ebay and I trying digging up some information up on him.I clicked return item to see if I would get his address but it didn't give it me,so I cancelled the return item and it was noted on ebay.Anyway after lots of messages ebay said if you go to paypal they will sort it out!so I went ok and went to paypal.But when you click on the seller in the resoloution it then says go to ebay for the money.Have I missed something here or what? How do I go about getting my money back because it seems there is no direct contact email address for ebay or paypal and when I phoned paypal they had me on hold for nearly half an hour which is not right.Im absoloutely Fu*ked off with all this scamming and ripping off

My jobs for today was adjusting my hand brake and that dreadfull squeal which you hear driving down the road lol.My missus heard it weirdly enough when I pulled up at my sisters and the car moved slightly forward.It turned out to be the rear pads. Also the rear strut brace isn't a straight fit in my case so I started modifying it to fit and ran out of welding wire :(

Im not expecting miracles with this clutch and must admit ive never driven on any paddle clutch.I get clutch judder now first thing when its cold so it doesn't bother me.And you never no I might just do a sprint or a race or even a drift.Nice to know I will have a clutch that can cope with the above tasks

Ive read on various threads of organic clutches failing and being no good at 400bhp.

The Forester Turbo
They hold more power,more torque and I can launch with out worrying about the clutch slipping.Ive got the sprung clutch so I shouldn't really get any clutch judder like you get on the scoobys now.the clutch disc I have is rated to 900 pounds of torque but I wouldn't get that through my std pressure plate.On my std pressure plate I would be ok with 350 bhp before I need to worry about changing the pressure plate for an uprated one which is about the time you would change gearboxes to a better one that can hold the power and wont break gears.Im only looking for 300bhp max it doesn't have to be dead on that figure either.Im after a good realiable set up that will take abuse if I give it and wont **** its self but still being able to use as a daily driver.

Squeeling noise when driving down the road
When I first bought my Forester it needed a lot of attention.First thing was the brakes the discs was warp could feel it under the brake pedal.I bought budget discs and pads for front and rear to get me going again.The front pad retainer clips were shagged so I threw them away and drove for a while with out them you could hear the pads on the front rattling about some times.Ive also fitted 2 new front calipers as well as my old pistons were sticking.Anyway these pads were rattling round and doing my head in so I bought some new pad retainers fitted them and and copper slipped my pads.About 2 days later you could hear a squeeling sort of noise if that's how I could describe it when the cars warm and when the cars rolling in traffic or crawling but when you press the brake pedal it stops.As you pick up speed the noise picks up abit then disappears when at speed but then it doesn't do it all the time.Im thinking out loud here and guessing but because I threw my retainers away the pads wouldn't really have bedded in properly and now the clips are there the case is the cheap pads are !Removed! and not bedding in properlyWhat do you think.Ive heard similar noises on buses and other cars
