Second hand £40 delivered.There is loads about

I need a new valve then

Ive got the forester turbo and they do shift.i well the missus takes it every where she loves it

NBO?

Since owning the forester ive noticed that when I start the car from cold that revs go to about 2k and as it gets warm it comes down.When you start your car where does your needle go to on the rev counter.Ive tried cleaning it out but its a no go

Looks very well Stants.Have you ever thought of colour coding the body work?

Fitted my front strut brace that I got off a lad of Scooby net and I must say its really noticeable.It feels more firm and goes round corners better.

It is mate

Its a paddle clutch not paddle shift lol. I will get a pic for you http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111469953923

That's some going that Stants.Std impreza is about 220bhp isn't it? Even 250bhp in a daily runner is rapid

Im toying with the idea of a 6 paddle clutch using the original pressure plate

Stants with yours being a JDM import are you producing 240bhp?

It took a while lol

Been doing a lot of research on shocks and boost.The shocks I think is sorted I will talk about that later.Anyhow since owning my forester turbo and from what ive been reading book figures for the car ive seen is 170bhp and 177bhp which ever one that's surposed to be.Anyway since owning the car ive changed the turbo to a TD04 from a WRX and don't get me wrong there is a big difference but it never delivered boost like a WRX or various other models and I no it does need mapping to finish off.I have other mods fitted as well like a 3inch bell mouth decatted down pipe and decatted middle section as well.But anyway lol I was looking into restrictor pills,i have a 1.2mm one so what I did as a test was a tip from a mig welder just to see what would happen and well,the car picked up better it was an instant result but its no good because it shouldn't be there.Subarus wasn't sold with mig tips as you no lol.So the other thing I did was research Forester bov valves from lots of reading and asking it turns out the Forester bov has two vac ports for the bov for a big reason.The reason is because the Forester has such a small turbo being the TF035,if boost wasn't controlled properly the little turbo would blow the engine to pieces so what Subaru did in a round about way is put two ports on the bov so when the boost comes on aggressive the second port closest to the intercooler opens up and some how controls the boost so its delivered smoothly so you don't get the Mach 2 effect lol.What happens over time is the bottom half of the bov blocks up and then some how leaks over time so your wont be making factory boost which is goverened also by the 1.2mm pill.I bypassed this to find the fault and now its a different car altogether lol but bear in mind I have the TD04 and not a TF035.So to sort future problems ive gone for the impreza bov valve which the import people already have like Stants for example.Im gonna change my pill to 1mm as well so this will give me roughly a bar of boost.Tonight on the way home though down the motorway I had to drive off boost because there is so much there now the Fu*kin clutch slips so ive got to drive like a pensioner lol.So gonna get a new clutch and get it rolling road to check everything is bob on then get my map after christmas

Stants do you do what size boost restrictor pill you have if you don't any chance you could measure it

I put copper slip on my brake pads and fitted a new front caliper to the foz.I also sorted out my bov valve as well.Its never made full boost since ive had it so I by passed it to see if that was the problem and turns out it was.so ive ordered a Subaru impreza one to do away with the problem.The import foresters wont have this problem.

Ive got a set of brand new apex lowering springs that will be availiable in a fortnight.Ive bought them in error.They have a 35mm drop.Ive only fitted the fronts to the forester the rears are still in the box .There not even a month old yet and bought them from crest motorsport.I will be after £85 ovno

Im pretty positive the impreza fit.Built on same platform.The shocks and brake calipers fit

Go on then pm me your paypal and I will send the money over

Im not out to mess you about Matt.Ive been doing a lot of reading and these American sites say wagon suspension is different to Saloon and if you don't do it this way the !Removed! of the forester is gonna sag.Ive got impreza lowering springs that are brand new from apex.The rears don't fit because I need impreza rear shocks but the front do and it sits nice on the front .Just the springs are stiff and the rear aint.Im trying to make a combination of both.How much for the fronts posted then and I will send the money over to you

Would you send just the fronts

Turns out the struts will be no good to fit on my forester

Just double checking did they come from a wagon-estate

Hi Matt what would you take for the shocks posted to Manchester with your ad saying nearest offer

What yr are the shocks from and are you will to post
