coilover pro's & cons
Im a little confused now lol.There is a lad on another forum with a forester and he fitted coil overs from a later model and said he had to change the rear top hats for the new age lol I will find the thread

Which bit are you saying will bolt up the whole complete coil over as it is or when its change for the top hat from the forester lol
-
coilover pro's & cons
Just the top hats where the strut bolts to the car
-
coilover pro's & cons
Just wondering if its worth a punt.I can see the top hats need changing though.Are the top hats on the self leveling shocks the same as the non self leveling shocks

Arnt the blob eye suspension a straight fit?Ive read something some where about it,either that or it was the hawk eye.Ive been looking at these coil overs as well.But I think the top hats will need swapping to run with out the adjustable tops http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221377082969?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Hi Stanton so what parts have you used to get rid of the sls suspension then and have you gone for lowered springs all round?

Rear suspension thoughts
This is an interesting thread.Sorry if im hijacking your post but I also want to do away with my sls rear suspension.Where is the ebst place to get non sls suspension struts from.Is there a certain model of car I have to get them from and can I fit lowering springs to these as well.

The Forester Turbo
Been a while since ive updated this.Since the new Caliper going on I upgraded the fuel pump to a 290 lph pump made by Sward.It was fine for a few weeks and things went sour with the pump to the point the Rac had to come out because I couldn't start it again.i was told it was a faulty pump and I was sent out a new one the next day.From there it was great again and a few days later I got a strage miss fire lol and couldn't track what it was.No eml came on the dash and it was so annoying.I tried a new lambda sensor and it wasn't that either.In the end it turned out to be a dodgy ht lead on cylinder number 1 lol.So ive got it to sit properly for now till Saturday when I will fit my new leads and gap my spark plugs down to 0.7.Ive also got some new front drop links ive been meaning to fit for over a month.next mods on the list are to lower the car nice and proper the way it should be.been looking at a few different set ups like a kit that does away with the rear self levelling shocks. :D

Manually Reading ECU Codes

-
Manually Reading ECU Codes
if its the black wires that just need going together and the check light flashes constant then I have no fault yet my car hiccups every now and again like a misfire.And ive even changed my pump back to the original pump just to test so im stumped
-
Manually Reading ECU Codes
What do you mean by a function test.When I plug green and black wires the fan kicks in but if its just black wires there is no fan starting or clicking of the wires.A little confusing.Im not a sparky lol
-
Manually Reading ECU Codes
Well with both the green and black connectors connected together the fan kicks in and the relay clicks and my engine light doesn't do anything not even a flash.or am I doing it wrong
