Yes I remember he mentioned that to me when I first joined the forums! PM sent :D

Ha! I would have an amazing car... but no home to park outside of :D

Just sold my house and haven't bought my new one yet... £75k sitting in my account.... HNNNNNNNNNG......

Bored at work and looking at bits for my scooby... dangerous combination. Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has a non-resonated centre pipe (2.5") and a decat up pipe that would fit my blob. More interested in the centre pipe as i wouldn't need a remap to benefit (altho this is on the cards). Can't promise I can buy straight away... in the process of moving house but if you have the bits and are willing to wait, I will def buy. Not a whole bunch happening on ebay so thot I would try here :D Edit: Forgive me for being a complete moron... I thot i was in the "Parts wanted" section.....

This is one fine looking car... :D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-P1-PRODRIVE-LTD-NUMBER-193-2-1-STROKER-468-9bhp-no-swap-/181713095530?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a4ef1cb6a

Ooooh! My insurance is due for renewal in May so I'll no doubt get a quote

McLaren Mercedes SLR for me... Love the sound that thing makes :D

I'll stick with my Impreza, altho I do love the whine from a supercharger :D

I've seen a few BRZ' kicking about... shame they don't have a turbo! I would imagine turbocharging one wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to do :D

It looked like a McLaren MP4-12C

Battery tested perfect! Maybe because I was quite low on fuel? It was weird, my fuel gauge was nearly on the empty line, but for whatever reason my fuel warning light wasn't on (it has come on before) but I filled it up regardless... Possible it could be something to do with that?

I've been looking at getting my wheels refurbed... previous owner didn't clean them all that well as they are kerbed and corroded... not overly bad, but a refurb wouldn't go a miss!

Weird isn't it? If it was doing it maybe after I haven't used the car for a few days... then I wouldn't be surprised, but I've been using it all week and driving a minimum of 12 miles. I'll go to halfords during the week and get them to test the battery

Then this morning, -1 degrees... had to scrape the ice off my car, started no problem!

Haha! Yeh I know, this is a problem with me browsing the net when i'm at work... I always look at stuff I want!

Yeh I'm def going to do it some point this year... priority is moving house, once I've done that, will start putting money aside for the work to get done, probably picking up parts as I go. Currently watching an STI up-pipe which will fit my blob and it does not have a cat. Then I'll probably get a race cat downpipe, get it all fitted then get the car mapped! Good to know about the up-pipe cat tho, my blob has only done 35k :D

Wow, 272hp without changing any of the restrictive exhaust parts? That's quite impressive... I'll probably change the up-pipe at least, read a lot of stories online of the cats breaking up and sending bits into the turbo, then people say that if you're changing the up-pipe, you might as well change the down pipe since you have to remove the downpipe from the turbo to access the bolts that attach the up-pipe to the turbo!! I've learned all of this in the past couple of days since i barely work when i'm at work... love my job... :D

I say sort of issue, because it has only happened twice in the 4 months I've owned the car... The first time it happened it was -5 so I purely put it down to the temperature, the engine is turning over and it sounds like it's almost catching and it took about 3-4 seconds for the engine to start, usually it's pretty much straight away. This was probably back in December, then tonight leaving work it did it again, only this time it was +5 degrees... I know not exactly roasty toasty, but didn't think it was cold enough to affect anything. Anything I could check relatively easily? Baring in mind by under-the-bonnet mechanic knowledge is pretty limited. No doubt it will be fine tomorrow morning when I leave for work :D

+1 for removing the resonator. I have left the intake duct on and just left it open... had zero issues and it sounds great!

I was about to post and say that I bought my impreza when the headlights were cloudy but manage to de-cloudify them with some abrasive solution and a buffing tool! Turned out great, but those headlights looks really smart!

sorry, meant to link this: http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_53&products_id=1111 This should allow to keep the last cat in the system... I wouldn't be doing any of this work myself, I have no clue about getting under a car! If my impreza was a second car I would be willing to give it a go... but it's my only car and it's a daily runner!

Yeh it looks like there is a cat in the up-pipe as well. So could put in a new up-pipe which will remove the cat, go with a normal down-pipe but possibly keep the cat after the downpipe (along with the race cat in the downpipe) to keep emissions in check? Or do you think a single race cat with a remap should get below emissions standards?

Don't really want to go down the full decat route, don't know of any "would look the other way" MOT testers in my area... plus my neighbours think my car is already loud :D I was looking at this: http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_53&products_id=3396 Could i then keep my standard centre pipe or would it be best to replace that as well?
