WRX 05 - How much bhp gain with remapping?
Mine was stock bar a high flow panel filter and a different back box, remapped to around 250, a decat down pipe and new fuel filter was my next step taking it to 260. I then went STI VF35 turbo, pink injectors, decat up pipe and got to 315 (but i think with a better mapper i may have made more)

Hiss upon start up?
Hey guys, I have an 03 Blob and have just noticed an odd sound. When i start the car there is a hiss, cant pin point it, but its around the back maybe, under the car, cant tell what side though. the sound starts as soon as the car is started and then stops after about 30 seconds every time. what is this, a problem, a usual function not to worry about, or a snake trapped in my diff?

Im looking at getting some dents taken out my rear bumper (last owner did it not me) and having my side skirts re sprayed. all done in the factory black with gold mica fleck. £200 for dents and back bumper and £100 for side skirts.

BAD RUMBLE NOISE
If its really bad could be a wheel bearing. if you PM me your email address I have a PDF on replacing the rear wheel bearings, just for your info :)

BAD RUMBLE NOISE
Nothing to do with tyres is it? obviously going to be worse at speed and also worse out on the open roads (with rougher roads)

Air filter? (probably been covered before)
Thanks Dave, I was thinking inner wing, just didn't want to spend stupid money on a full K&N Induction hit at several hundred pounds.

Air filter? (probably been covered before)
I know I'm not the first guy to ask but can someone advise me on the best cold air intake kit, mushroom, cone filter job. I will run it into the side wall so would be looking for the pipe work and filter (everything I need really) something that's cheapish, that's not going to effect reliability. also do I need another re-map right after if I do this, or can I leave that to a later date? Thank you guys :) Chris

UK Law on Modified exhausts
Sounds like i should be fine then, there are louder cars than mine that have no issues, i think if I am polite and come across as a nice person to any cops I may meet I can't see them bothering with the hassle over it. Thanks guys :)

UK Law on Modified exhausts
Unless someone complains, I can't see it happening. Which with my car popping and banging like it does they might... (sorry local villages)
-
UK Law on Modified exhausts
According to the law, you cannot have any modifications to your exhaust system that makes it louder than standard. is this enforced? as I'm sure most Subaru owners would be breaking the law based on this. sounds stupid to me, I can see why they would have a sound limit but to limit it against itself seems ridiculous and pointless. just wondering what I can say if i am ever pulled over by a jobs worth, also anyone had experience in this?

cheapest way to measure oil temperature?
Imust be honest I was hoping someone would say follow this link to this one on ebay for 3 quid. Matt is there somewhere best to lick it? (never said that before in my life)
-
cheapest way to measure oil temperature?
I want something to give me some indication on oil temperature? just so i know when i am up to temperature and when i need to drive soft for a bit to cool down? any ideas would be great, want to spend as little as possible, also i am not confident in drilling into anything so surface mount or something through the oil caps would be better! Thank you in advance :)

Waterless cleaners
Shows a working car. I quite like mine caked in much some days, then I pretend I'm a rally driver when in fact I have just been down a quite back Road, doing 10mph crying as I listen to stones fly up at my paint Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

Waterless cleaners
Haha :,) I thought yours looks good, mines only like that as I spend a lot of time washing and polishing (helps not having friends I find) I think you always look at your own car more harshly and pick out the tiniest of flaws (I know I do) Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk
