    That is a classic Impreza set up. Since you share so many similarities I thought I'd share it. You could factor in weight difference, tyre size, length and width of the car as all of that makes a difference to a good set up and no two cars are ever the same due to age of components and tyre brand.

    Fair do but if you had to and it was not described accurately then PayPal could help with the refund.
  3. Scoobyghost
    Did you pay via PayPal?
  4. Scoobyghost
    Hmm, can you at least send the hard pipe back to recoup the money?

    Ngk pfr6b for a standard car.

    You'll hear a hiss noise when you get your ears close to pipes. If you hold your hand near the pipe you may feel the leak but at idle the pressure won't be so noticeable.

    I'm 29, 7yrs NCB and all mods declared. I pay £570 a year. There are a lot of variables that factor in cost here. I moved about 10 mile from north of the Thames to the south and it halved my premium.

    Have you had it checked again?

    Back in to the fray now gambit 😈

    My old classic came with an umbranded(assume eBay) fmic. Fitment was terrible. Pipes felt stretched and bent at angles they didn't want to sit. It just wouldn't sit right. Clamps and joins were poorly designed and once even slipped apart. BOV needs adapting as standard is a different shape flange. The eBay units just have a round hole that you need a silicon join for. You can keep the old tank but some of the fitment issue is caused by it. A smaller tank or better designed pipework will help.

    Done two rocker covers on a friends classic. Jolly good fun.

    If the steering wheel isn't straight then yes, that's tracking not being done properly. They've tracked the wheels straight but failed to align that with the steering wheel. In what way would you say it handles worse? Stiffer? Jerky?
  13. Scoobyghost
    It will feel harder as youve just fitted all new bushes and what not. I doubt thats from the tracking. In regards to it being similar to an Impreza, all foresters share many many parts from Impreza's. Sometimes it's easier to source parts by looking as if it's an Impreza. I think it's gonna be a case of getting used to how the car is again.

    Is it posted or collection only? I imagine the fuel cost are greater than reward for a lot of us 😂

    Welcome to the club! I've noticed some insurers do a "quote". When you enter the registration it automatically fills in the estimated value box 😆 It doesn't take mileage or any other factors in of course. Could also have a look at the current market as getting a valuation now could go down as well as up in 6 months time.
  16. Scoobyghost
    Nope 😏

    Do you have a boost gauge? First thoughts are you're not getting full boost. Check all boost pipes for leaks. Any overheating or loss of water? Putting it on a dyno may help too. It'll show you boost and Afr. Plus gives you a power reading.

    During my gearbox hunt I found out my gearbox code can be substituted for an early bug gearbox so it's possible some bug versions fit. TY754VN1AA and TY754VN2AA are "Apparently" interchangable. VN1AA are found on late UK classics and VN2AA on early UK bugs.
  19. Scoobyghost
    I agree with what you've said [emoji5]
  20. Scoobyghost
    Mine doesn't show up on that system either. Far from dead 😜
  21. Scoobyghost
    Paid off so far 😈 If euros only last 8 months I'd rather go for the eBay unit. I was dubious at the start.
  22. Scoobyghost
    That depends on your current power or future power. You only want to do the clutch once. Standard blue box Exedy clutches are good for 300ftlb and if you aim for higher I'd recommend a pink box clutch which are rated to 350ftlb.

    I bought one from eBay December 2014 for £26 new and it's still doing well.

    Laughed so hard at that. As soon as he cracked a smile [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

    Release bearings are generally part of a clutch kit and it's not something that can be repaired. Three parts of a clutch that can fail; pressure plate, release bearing and and clutch plate. If clutch goes the car will slip. If the pressure plate goes you can't depress the clutch with the peddle. If the bearing goes it squeals until it collapses or seizes and then it will start wearing through the clutch fork.
