Snoop-y

Your wheels type: Prodrive GC-07C Unfortunately the original wheel cap costs hell a lot of money. I don`t think it is worth it ( £100~) If I were you I would buy stickers for cheap...

I would stay away from a car that had 8 owners. Must be a reason for that and it sounds a bit cheap for me. ( second warning light is on already for me ) Maybe I am too picky but be careful with rushing in something that you will regret later. Keep looking sooner or later you`ll find the right one. MOT history is just a thing and you won`t no about hidden bugs so for me is good to have that but does not count too much. Bring the car to a car mechanical and get it checked. The owner should not be afraid of this.

I'll be there ;)

Nice one ;)

Thanks for the info I'll have a look ;)

I have Prodrive wheels so might worth it to get them done nicely. Thanks for the info ;)

Yepp the old BUG ----> Hawkeye conversion. Good luck with that! If you can get a Xenon headlights go for them!

This can be considered as well. It is called retrofit and this could be a solution between the full headlights change and basic HID conversion kit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHuDrd6tNUg It needs a little work but I am not afraid to getting my hands dirty if the outcome will be perfect ;)

Ehhee :D BTW I need to refurbish my wheels :( The previous owner did a nasty work on them :( After I wrap them in Plastidip. That will do the trick. Could you recommend somebody to do the refurbish?

If you can close it properly then it should not. I would test it if it is leaking or not. To be honest I hate sunroofs as I always have a problem with them. From my point of view they are useless and do what they're doing to you. And they'll leak eventually. Sooner or later :D But at least if it remains open there is a safety feature built in the Subaru`s so you can close it manually.

No it is not normal and could be one of them that Gambit mentioned above or could be a track problem as well that a glass is sitting on.

Hi all, I am thinking about to get this conversion done as I am not really satisfied with the factory provided high quality candle lights :D What do I need for this apart from the following?: JDM Xenon headlamps. I guess this exercise is not a plug and play one. Will the leveling work after this? Are there any proper other solution? Normal HID no thanx except it is built in a headlights body.

Until you take it off ( not easy to pill ) or you kerb it down ;)

Yes, I got used to it when I had a Nismo stage 3 SX200.

We are using plastidip for other parts as well:

You can`t be wrong with a turbocharged boxer engine ;) Stay away from Boxters get a 911 B)

I only use MOTUL 300V. I would not spare on oil.(this is my opinion only, so no offense ) There is a saying in the Race club that I am a member of: If you fancy to have a unique monkey make sure you have enough banana to feed it :D

Here you go

As far as I know after 2006 it is above 400. ( It looks like he is after a 06 or 07 reg ) I did not refer classic as GC8. I did for the shape ( 4 doors )

If you need more space I would go for the classic sedan shape. Good to know: The turbocharged boxer engine is a bit thirsty does not really matter if you drive with an egg under your gas pedal. Still drinks around 20-24mpg in urban. Needs good care. This car is not a truck. So if you want to be a good owner you should change the oil in every 3-4K miles Needs good oil too and ORIGINAL parts ( Motul or equivalent ) Tax is high above £400 but worth every penny These cars are so much fun to drive and live with. You can`t find nicer engine sound than that a Subaru boxer engine has ( in this price range )

Front bushes will be changed next morning to Powerflex as well. HKS racing suction kit on its way with a Denso MAF sensor.

front discs: 4 pot vented 294mm rear discs: 2 pot 245mm another variant for V4 STI: front discs: 4 pot vented 294mm rear discs: 2 pot266mm ps: you need to check this in a garage because sometime this can be vary based on the exact model such as V4 STI,EDM,JDM or V4 STI Type R etc... For example the JDM V4 STI Type R has rear 2 pot 290mm Vented

Sorry to say but this is not 100% true especially if you want to modify your car in the future. If you do so I don't recommend "cheap" readers. Just think all your setup rely on that. If it gives you false data you'll be sorry very very sorry...

The package delivers excellent all-weather acceleration, with 0 - 60mph being achieved in just 5.5 seconds. 06MY Forester Mods are the same Power rises by nearly 15 percent from 230 ps to 260 ps at 5,600 rpm and torque increases from 320 Nm to 407 Nm at 3,000 rpm the package delivers excellent all-weather acceleration, with 0 - 60 mph being achieved in just 5.3 seconds Best regards Snoopy

No worries, I also think you made the right decision. Above 300HP the SX is like a bomb. Very dangeorus and don`t get me wrong but if an average driver just floor it at the wrong time or place you can end up in the hospital easily... It needs a perfect road condition all the time.
